Our Sun in a binary system, 2012, a shift in consciousness (Page 1 of 2)

This is a very interesting theory, and it provides an alternate explanation for the precession of the equinox, which is supposedly caused by the earth's 'wobble'.

I have seen "The Great Year". .it's definitely worth watching.

I don't buy the idea that our sun is part of a binary system.

If there is a brown dwarf companion, even if it doesn't emit light it would still be visible due to reflected light. And if that isn't possible, then surely there would come a time when we would see it transit across the face of the main sun.

As for the precession of the equinox, it was my understanding that the precession is due to precession - based upon rotational physics.

Although some books are good, they can be written by anyone. People who have no idea about a subject can write a book, and make it appear as controversial.

It's really quite pointless to argue since we don't really know, but you are incorrect in assuming that the sun's companion would emit visible light, or that it would be visible when transiting the sun.

The common theory about precession is that it is due to a wobble in the earth's rotational axis.  Yet nobody has provided a verifiable explanation for how that wobble got there in the first place, or for why the earth's rotational period does not appear to be slowing down.

The models which consider the possibility of a binary sun system take two facts into account.  The first is that most of the star systems we have studied are in fact binary.  The second is that a binary model provides for the precession of the equinoxes without having to introduce a new variable.

As far as precession being due to precession. . um.. what are you trying to say there?  The precession of the equinoxes describes the apparent motion of the galaxy relative to the earth's pole, yet it is obvious that the galaxy is not rotating around the earth. . .

matt, check out http://montalk.net/twin.pdf for some calculations I did on the twin sun which show it's possible. If the twin burned out long ago, it would emit only the weakest infrared levels and require special infrared telescopes to detect. The most promising of those was a new Australian observatory, but that burned down in  a freak wildfire several years ago. The twin's orbital path would take it around the sun, perhaps at a far enough distance that its return wouldn't be immediately obvious.

That's correct - at its greatest distance, the binary companion to our sun would be very far away, while at its closest approach it might not get any closer than near the outer planets. Maybe that is why Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus have such extreme tilt/orbital characteristics. The orbit of this twin would have to be incredibly eccentric (narrow).

Richard Mullerdeveloped the Nemesis theory:

Cataclysms also tend to occur in 3600 year intervals. Mark Hazelwood collected some research on that cycle in his Planet X book. The theory sketched out in the Cassiopaean transcripts is essentially a combination of both cycles - that a dark companion swings by every 27 million years and sends a comet cluster from the Oort Cloud towards the solar system. It is this cluster that establishes a 3600 year cycle and sometimes wreaks havoc. Every 27 million years brings a fresh cluster, and each cluster swings through in synchronization with the older ones. So when the comet clusters approach, they are several in number - old with new.

All I did in the PDF is plug data the C's gave into standard astrophysics equations to see if they were consistent and matched other observed facts. They were. So yeah, that scenario is plausible. I do not believe in a singular Planet X with a 3600 year orbit, especially not one which is home to the Annunaki. I think it is instead one or more comet clusters with that orbital period.

Back in the 1600s-1700s, sunspots became abnormally absent. C's claimed that the twin's approach would suppress solar flares, so there might be a connection. Interestingly, in the middle of that period, the astronomer Flamsteed catalogued a bright star that other astronomers later could not be found. Some say it was a supernova, but it might have been the dark twin getting close enough to be illuminated by the sun. The C's mentioned that the twin was currently (well, ten years ago) in the constellation Libra... according to my calculations, the angular distance between Libra and the star Flamsteed sighted matches precisely how much the twin has traveled across the sky since. The length of the sunspot absence, known as the Maunder Minimum, also correlates with  how long it would take the twin to whip halfway around the solar system and leave again.  So all that checks out.

When the twin crashes through the Oort Cloud, it drags with it a comet cluster...if the twin swung by three hundred years ago, then the new comet cluster is already on its way. I could not figure out what the time lag would be, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened by 2032.

No doubt there is more to our solar system than most people know about. There could be one, two, three or more additional planets. Whether any one of them qualifies as THE  "Planet X" depends on whether they swing through the inner solar system periodically and cause all kinds of upheaval.

Sitchin believes that Nibiru has a 3600 year orbit and allows the Anunnaki to land on earth whenever both get close enough to each other. I don't have confidence in that particular idea, but its pieces seem to be related to factual elements, like the bit about something cosmic returning every 3600 years, or that there are alien overlords, and also that a combination of both could play into world events during our lifetimes.

There are many variations of the Planet X theme... some pretty crazy, some just incomplete or misguided, and some relatively accurate. Whatever best fits the facts, the math, and the observations should be more reliable, I would think. Lens flare is not good evidence, though

Seeing either a comet cluster or a cold dead twin requires some pretty sophisticated infrared telescopes. There are lots of brown dwars out there but not many have been catalogued just because they are so dim and thus difficult to spot. I once got some scope time at college and checked out the coordinates given by zetatalk, but found nothing there even though the sensitivity was good enough to detect what zetatalk claimed was a red dwarf. If the real thing is colder, it would be harder to see. In my opinion, the twin itself is not a threat since it never gets near enough to the inner solar system to do direct damage. However, indirectly it can cause cometary showers among other things.

According to James McCanney, and to the electric universe theory, comets induce solar flares due to their electrical charges. If comet clusters were on the approach, solar activity should have to increase.   So that's something to watch for. If solar activity keeps increasing, then that would be a possible indicator.

As for the orbit of the clusters, the C's said it's like a spirograph. That makes sense - anything that comes by and interacts with planetary fields will have it orbital direction shifted slightly, and thus over time it would trace out a spirograph pattern. But they also said the first ones would be sighted coming from the Magellanic Clouds...those are in the southern hemisphere. The only scope of the proper location and technology to perform that job was the Stromlo Observatory in Australia, the one that burned down in that freak fire. And interestingly, the observatory at Mount Lemon in the Southwestern US, which was known for being instrumental in the discoveries of some new comets these past few years, almost suffered the same fate when a freak wildfire came close to destroying it as well.

I would say that comets are a greater threat than either a Planet X or a Twin Sun, mainly because there are so damn many of them, they are positioned in the Oort cloud just waiting to be thrown inward, and geological evidence shows that comets have smacked into us before in a "shotgun pattern" that does maximum damage with least amount of cratering effects except in the most extreme cases.
