The Oort Cloud is 50,000 AU from our sun. Based on an approximate average of the orbital velocities of the planets in our solar system, 60,000 mph, it would take over 10,000 years to reach our sun. That's one way. What would be bringing it back? Also, if traveling nearly light speed, at 1800 years one way it would be 900 times further out than the diameter of our solar system. Again, what would bring it back? The math doesn't add up.
If those photos'were really of a unknown object (socalled Planet X) loads of astronomers would be over it. Everyone wants a (scientific) part of that story.

Hi.
Even if this theory turns out to be true,do you really think the authorities would willing tell you about it?
And as for gathering data on it,well,a lot of these "specialists" are probably the same guys who decided to shoot down an out of control satellite,(and it was a lot closer than this supposed"Planet X) because they did'nt know where it was going to fall!
If this thing is coming in 2012,why tell us now and have four years of blind panic on their hands,when they would probably rather tell us at the last possible moment.

Well i dont know about 4000 years but yes there is evidence of polar shifting in earlier times. This is why Earth wobbles as it rotates. It is said Earth was either struck by a rather large object many years ago or is continuously being affected by the gravity of a massive object. If indeed a planet comes in close orbit of Earth every 4000 or so years this would explain it.
Recent work by scientists and geologists Adam Maloof of Princeton University and Galen Halverson of Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse, France, indicates that Earth indeed rebalanced itself around 800 million years ago during the Precambrian time period.[8] They tested this idea by studying magnetic minerals in sedimentary rocks in a Norwegian archipelago. Using these minerals, Maloof and Halverson found that the north pole shifted more than 50 degrees — about the current distance between Alaska and the equator — in less than 20 million years. This reasoning is supported by a record of changes in sea level and ocean chemistry in the Norwegian sediments that could be explained by true polar wander, the team reports in the September–October 2006 issue of the Geological Society of America Bulletin.[9]
Research using GPS, conducted by Geoffrey Blewitt of the University of Nevada, has shown that normal seasonal changes in the distribution of ice and water cause minor movements of the poles

Jupiter's mass is only 318 times that of Earth, and a Brown dwarfs mass need only be a minimum of 13 times that and as a result of increase mass, the volume would actually shrink.
Jupiter is only 0.00086 solar masses, so a brown Dwarf need only be 0.01118 Solar masses, so all this assumption that a brown dwarf is 1/3rd the size of the sun is erroneous. It is more like 1% off the mass and would be significantly smaller than Jupiter is.

People need to think about the effects that an object supposedly a third the size of our sun, and a failed star to boot, would have. It wouldn't just pass by without leaving massive devastation in its wake.

What do you all think about this? Fake or first proof of what is to come?
