I'm surprised no one mentioned Dr. Ray Brown.

Well to be sure I've been lagging behind in this area, I just stumbled upon him the other day. It stills seems fishy but I'll have to look more into it.

I know it for a fact. Bernard isn't hard to find online and he's actually fairly talkative and pleasant most of the time. Seek him out and ask him - he's usually very proud of his work and willing to discuss it.

No.
"The uncertainties in the estimates..." translates to "We're pretty much guessing here"
It allows for an uncertainty of 1 million years. We passed through the galactic plane no more than 3 million years ago and no less than 2 million years ago. Considering the period of the cycle the margin for error is quite small. But heaven forbid you should actually read the paper.
It certainly does not mean that we are about about to "cross" the plane.

first... the Oort cloud is likely 2 different rings of clouds... the outer ring is where long-period comets like Halley (returns to inner solar system approx every 75 years)
so if anything peturbs the Oort cloud or Keiper belt it should take at least 75 years to be seen in our locality, depending on the force that knocked the comet towards the Sun made it speed towards the Sun at something like 75,000MPH...
Nothing.
And what do you suppose will happen when we do? Anything?
