Theory of multiple intrusions by rogues on the solar system

[dingo15068]

So far the theory is standing up...unfortunately it is hard to prove or disprove it.

As for computing capibility, yes the group has access to a lot more processing power than I do, and they have access to far more scientific data than I could ever wish to access

News update:  The group of astronmers and students are submitting for review their work, as well as my own contributions and theory for Peer review and possible publication

How long does such a process usually take?

[Dingo1]

Rem,
I am not sure on how long it takes, this is the first time I have dealt with things, but from talking with others, the term   "Snails pace" is appropriate

Well, recieved some news on my submittal.  It is being returned for rework.

The section dealing with the gravitational results of fly-bys has pass scrutany, and the formulas have passed.  This is the base of my theory.

The section dealing with the results of possible collisions have failed in regards with recent research dealing with ballistics of large object collisions.  Minor errors in the formulas.

The section dealing with the effects of multiple gravitational effects of 3 and more objects, the bases of my model, and the most contraversial section, have come back with several pages of indepth questions in regards with the formulas, the results of my model, and the conclusion.

The general statement of my theory has been accepted as a possibility.

I have 1 year to answer the questions they submitted in writing, indepth of course.  Upon which time it will undergo oral review.

Update:

My theory has been rejected for possible publication at this time.  According to the accompaning letter,
"Although you theory merits further investigation in it's possibilities, the accompaning documentation presented has several computational errors within the formula's"

"The concept of an extra-solar object entering and effecting solar objects has been the center of a some research by the astronomy community at large.  Your work on the effects of such an encounter shows that further research is warrented.  Continue with refining your theory, it's accompaning documentation and model for future concideration"


I knew when I submitted it, that there were errors and such, but having my research independantly reviewed, is going to help me further my research

great news!
Now you're going to be even more busy  :-/

I do not mind.  I have been working on this theory off and on for 24 years...whats a few more years.  I do not have the publish or parish problem many students have trying to get their doctorates,  this is just something I have been intrigued about, that when I first started, I could find nothing about the cause of Uranus's unusual tilt.  Only thing anyone has come up with since I started working on the problem, is something massive struck the planet, yet little work has been done to determine the size, or the effects.  The more I have studied gravitational effects, the better I have become at thinking of questions to ask.  Add in things like orbital ballistics, damage calculations, gravitational influence, planetary geology, astrophysics.
Little really is known about what happens during star formation, and star death, is what happens to debree blown out of the systems.  Most people assume it is just gases and such, but there could easily be much bigger objects.  Case in point, if our sun blew up today, it would vaporise the inner planets, Jupiter's atmosphere would also be for the most part boiled away, but what of Jupiter's core.  It might survive and be blown out of the system.  We do not know it's composition

One new theory about the formation of the Kuiper belt that appears to explain its architecture pretty well is the possiblitiy of a "rogue" planet. This study was presented by Patryk Lykawka and makes a big prediction: we'll discover a new planet soon. This planet would be about the size of Mars and would currently be on an orbit where it would have been pretty hard to find, but future surveys (like PanSTARRS) are likely to find this planet, if it exists. The planet originally formed between the giant planets, but got thrown out when they got big. It stayed in the Kuiper belt region for a while, stirring things up (for instance, creating the high-inclination objects) and then got thrown out to a relatively distant orbit (somewhere between Eris and Sedna). So, keep your eyes open in the next few years for the discovery of another "planet". (Planet X? Planet IX? The Large Dwarf Planet?) Note that there are other theories of the formation of the outer solar system that do an excellent job of explaining the facts, but do not require another planet (such as the "Nice" Model). This planet would be extremely cold all the time, in a great contrast to the vaporizingly-hot HD 149026b that I mentioned at the beginning.

did you have any time for your theory lately dingo?

[Dingo1]

Not recently, but I am familer with the work of Patryk Lykawka.  I disagree with his findings, that they will discover a "Planet X".  But the size is within the range that a direct strike by it on Uranus would have been enough to tilt the planet to it's current degree, without a major disruption of it's orbit, which does fit into my theory, and mathimatical models, which would have destroyed the smaller object.  It could also account for the unusual features of the moon Miranda, if Miranda passed through the strike plume, causing heat and stress fractures
