Is planet 9 a primordial black hole

[mindlessobserver]

This is honestly a fascinating theory that has been gaining traction in academic circles. An explanation for the gravitational anomalies in the outer solar system. Just what is "nemesis". (Hey, it's a cool name)

The short story is that is has long been theorized that there is a 9th planet (not Pluto) because something has been tugging on Neptune, and something caused all those oort cloud objects to develop highly elliptical and irrational orbits that do not conform with existing models. Based on the math we are dealing with a planet about 5 to 10 times the mass of Earth.

But we cant find the damn thing. We can find a fucking planetoid like Pluto that is smaller then the moon but we cant find a planet that is at minimum 5 times larger then the earth that should be in the same general area! This has led to some esoteric claims, like a companion star to Sol that burned out or a rogue planet that blew past eons ago.

But then some pesky scientists noticed something. There is a theory that at the dawn of the universe black holes could be formed by small but very dense amounts of matter due to how compact everything was at the time.

Rather then something the size of a star, it would be more something the size of a bowling ball. But it would still be a black hole and strong enough to exceed to the universal constant of light. A primordial black hole. And what is the estimated mass of such an object?

5 to 10 earth masses. Oh shit.jpg

Really fascinating explanation into this.

it's a burgeoning eye of terror. the universe has begun to push back against the hedonism and excess of modern human society and we will soon bear witness to the birth of slaanesh

how tf should I know? you tell me.

Alternatively, astronomers have been fucking around with math that nobody can verify for the last 200 years, and they just got another equation wrong. And it'll stay wrong for another 100 years until someone gets a pair of physical eyes floating around Neptune to check their work.

Really interesting idea. I know it's far fetched, but I hope it's actually true. Having a blackhole in our *relative* backyard would be a blessing to science. One of the greatest thing plaguing modern physics is the fact that blackholes violate the universal constant of the conservation of information. Which, to put it simply, is the idea that if you know all the information surrounding an event, you could reconstruct it. Imagine it like you're playing a game of marbles. If you know that a bunch of marbles went flying in various directions at different velocities then you could, with enough information, discern which marble hit which other marble at what speed that would send all those other marbles flying at those velocities. It's a simplified version, but blackholes violate this by the fact that they absorb matter which can never be released, but also lose mass through hawking radiation. Once matter enters a blackhole, we lose it's information but seemingly new information is generated. Having a blackhole that we could closely study could help us learn about the universe and tell us if blackholes are just gateways to other parts of the universe, simple destroys that actually violate the conservation of energy, or perhaps bridges that send matter from our universe to another where they secrete mass instead of consuming it.

The primordial black hole idea is interesting, but seems like a long shot. Good luck locating it.

Collective gravity or bad math would be the most boring outcome. But failed planet predictions have happened time and time again for centuries.

A real Planet Nine would be exciting. It may even be a rocky planet (a "Super Earth") instead of a mini gas giant. It should have lots of moons since it would be gravitationally dominant.
