- hdar3415, on 11/12/2007, -2/+201We used to have another planet, it was called Pluto!
- inactive, on 11/12/2007, -0/+24Or maybe it's still orbiting out there somewhere, populated by a race of unimaginable super men, biding their time when the orbit realigns with Earth so they can move from their cold twisted grave planet onto our nice warm green-blue sphere...
- robalesi, on 11/09/2007, -4/+25It'll be a cold day in hell when I stop recognizing that tiny frozen orb as a planet. LONG LIVE PLUTO!! VIVA PLUTO!!!
- Muncher, on 11/09/2007, -1/+20Alderan?
- engrishGamer, on 11/11/2007, -5/+23Man, I wanted to be the first person to say this!
- SpallettaAC1041, on 11/09/2007, -3/+16Dugg for best comment of the day.
- EBFoxbat, on 11/09/2007, -0/+9Pluto was a good planet, a nice planet. Pluto never bothered anyone- hardly an orbital tug. It was the bureaucracy that did in poor Pluto. Too small, too irregular they said, blasphemy... and a shame.
- platypibri, on 11/09/2007, -0/+9I for one welcome our unimaginable superman overlords.
- catalysis, on 11/09/2007, -0/+7My money is on the astrophysicist.
- xt0ph3r, on 11/09/2007, -0/+7No, the very first comment beat you to it.
- BoneheadFarker, on 11/09/2007, -2/+7Then again...there is that asteroid belt between Mars and Saturn. If anything, that would be a clue to a fifth rocky planet. Possibly the result of a collision between a planet and a large comit or asteroid? Don't know how they worked the sun into the story though...
- Matteos, on 11/09/2007, -0/+5Well once you get all the lice off of it, Im sure you'll feel better.
- Klarth, on 11/10/2007, -0/+4http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nibiru_%28hypothetica ...
Despite having no scientific basis, I still love the Nibiru/Tiamat theory. I'm such a sci-fi dork. - Tyorant, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4Death star did it.
- bagboyrebel, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4Lies! Pluto will always be a planet in our hearts.
- Ajajadude, on 11/14/2007, -0/+4I'm beginning to dislike this "Jupiter" fellow everyone keeps talking about. Sounds like quite a bastard to me.
- Ajajadude, on 11/09/2007, -0/+4What is it with people here acting like they're experts in gravitational theory, astrophysics, and all that crap?
- Thuktun, on 11/09/2007, -1/+5Here, you dropped this: a
- TeacherOfHeroes, on 11/09/2007, -0/+4New news about old news. If you learned about evolution last year, and there was new evidence found to support it would you call it old news?
- TeacherOfHeroes, on 11/09/2007, -2/+6I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not, so I checked your profile. It seems that you are actually serious. Dugg down for making me weep in despair.
On a lighter, more humerous note, what evidence do you have to support *your* claim? - cnldelta, on 11/09/2007, -0/+4All this time I thought the Asteroid belt was formed when 2 'pre-existing' planets collided together rather than one imploding.
- Klarth, on 11/08/2007, -0/+4Seriously, how hard is it to read the first comment?
- meridian300, on 11/09/2007, -1/+4If another asteroid with enough mass slammed into the direct path of this planet and slowed it down just the right amount, it would spiral into the sun (maybe over the course of a few thousand years more or less depending). The reason we have orbit is because of the speed at which objects orbit the sun, and if they're slowed down enough on top of a possible slow orbit as it is, you'll have a slow spiral to the sun.
You fail, but thanks for playing! - TeacherOfHeroes, on 11/08/2007, -0/+3Did you even read the article? Or did you just scan through it to find a good quote. This computer model suggests that it fell into the sun after its orbit was disturbed by Mars and Jupiter.
- dafragsta, on 11/09/2007, -1/+4It's nice and warm alright.
- dredman, on 11/08/2007, -2/+5I fell into the sun once..............................ONCE !
- MattBD, on 11/09/2007, -0/+3I thought it was created because Jupiter's gravity prevented a planet forming there so the asteroids weren't able to come together - if they did, Jupiter would just pull it apart again.
- supaklaw, on 11/09/2007, -0/+3Yes, it was called Mongo. We blew it up with our discombobulator. Ming was pissed.
- TeacherOfHeroes, on 11/09/2007, -1/+4[citation needed]
- thcobbs, on 11/09/2007, -1/+4Don't get too excited.... I hear its a bit ruff there.
- pleiadianagenda, on 11/09/2007, -0/+3The asteroid belt WAS the fifth planet. It was known by different cultures as Maldek, Milona, or Tiamat. Just do the research and ascertain your own opinions.
- IEatHamburgers, on 11/14/2007, -0/+2Well the asteroid belt IS between Mars and Saturn. Nothing he said there was wrong.
- init100, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2"Did our Solar System once have another Planet?"
Yes. It is usually called Theia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_impact_hypothes ... - inactive, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Mars and Saturn? Did I miss something?
- cipherscribe, on 11/10/2007, -0/+2Research the work by Michael Tsarion. It will blow your mind!
- GothAlice, on 11/08/2007, -2/+4Freaking people stealing my thunder!
- Thuktun, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2Cite to support trollick's statement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_belt#Mass
- TeacherOfHeroes, on 11/09/2007, -2/+4What does evolution have to do with the age of the universe? If anything, your claim in this context would be making cosmologists weep in despair.
Is everyone that doesn't believe that the universe is 10000 years old automatically an "evolutionist"?
For the record, I think that evolutionary theory is about the best explanation offered as of yet, but it seems wholly inconsequential to this discussion. - edzieba, on 11/08/2007, -0/+2What, no love for Inherit The Stars?
- drakaan, on 11/09/2007, -1/+3I remember reading a book called "Genesis Revisited" by a guy named Zecharia Sitchin (I think that's his name). He talked about two planets...Marduk and Nibiru, and they smacked into each other and the premise was that somehow that's how we got an earth with a giant moon...don't remember the details, but the article reminded me of the book.
- inactive, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2That's no moon.
- Matteos, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2Hell, I have thought since 4th grade that the asteroid belt could have been a planet.
- SpongeBad, on 11/09/2007, -0/+2this is DIGG...there's no such thing as enough stupid comments.
- GrantTheGr8, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1As much as we, the inhabitants of Earth, can manage to ***** our planet up, destroying it is pretty damn far beyond our potential. Plus, your comment is political, trolling, and just plain stupid.
- dsmx, on 11/08/2007, -1/+2Except that it can't be defined as a planet in any way. Even our moon is bigger than pluto.
- Pssdoff, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1Pluto Eris and Ceres are only dwarf planets.
If you were to number them based on distance, Ceres would be the 5th planet, Pluto would be the 10th, and Eris would be the 11th. - IglooFu, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1Yeah the astroid belt between Mars and Saturn. You know the one with...uh...what's it called....oh yeah Jupiter.
- TeacherOfHeroes, on 11/09/2007, -2/+3Well...the digg posting isn't inaccurate, since thats what TFA says as well...
"Chambers provides the most compelling evidence yet that a hypothetical Planet V could have existed for hundreds of millions of years before minute gravitational tugs from Mars and Jupiter destabilised its orbit, causing it to fall into the Sun."
I'm sure that if you emailed the guy and told him that it was inaccurate, he'd see reason and abandon his crazy crazy computer models. - blitzkriegpunk, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1ZOMG the Annunikai!11 I was thinking of this very thing after reading the description. Kind of eery.
- Heaiser, on 11/08/2007, -0/+1Looks like hdar3415 beat you to this comment by about 6 hours.
