sometimes, it seems as though the topic gets a little catiwompus (spelling?) and prior posts get completely overlooked because of a pissing match caused by a curve ball thrown into the mix.
so, as to my prior post, what say you?

I lay down what I consider fact and it is biased against, no matter how 'believable' it is to you. I couldn't make a believer out of anyone(even if I tried).

I know the world is round, but I don't have 'any' degrees.

Well it gives you an idea how large the brown dwarf would be compared to any of the inner planets. The damage something that large would be...shall we say...TERMINAL. Nothing would survive a close encounter.

If Planet X is currently behind the sun then Earth will be on the same side of the sun as it within six months. Why would Planet X not be visible by mid-2008? Simple answer, it either does not exist or is well outside the solar system and not a danger to us until the distant future.

Exactly! So a celestial object that large could do considerable damage to Earth even from a very far distance. Correct?

Just to add a different take to the debate.
It has been posted that the brown dwarf has a 3600 year orbit.
Based on that information, another poster calculated the speed of planet x at or near the speed of light.
My question is as follows:
An object traveling near the speed of light will have an almost infinite mass. The mass would have an almost infinite gravity well similar to that of a black hole.
So the brown dwarf is no longer a brown dwarf but a rogue black hole which cannot be viewed except for the energy at the event horizon and the blackness against stars. People have posted pictures they claim to be the brown dwarf. Obviously those pictures could not be the brown dwarf.
Also, wouldn't this black hole rip apart our solar system?
I've had a very long work day so maybe I'm wrong about this so does anyone have any thoughts?
