Idk how to feel about Jerusalem Post links. I was going to comment about how the article is devoid of any details, and then I read the last line: they use GenAI to help write their articles.
I was wondering how the scientists went from proposing a planet that was 1.5 to 2 times the size of earth, to proposing it being 5-10 times the size of earth.
This article was written in collaboration with generative AI company Alchemiq
But it’s not badly written.
The evidence is like a million textbooks from 30 years ago that all say there are 9 planets. Pretty convenient.
That’s good enough for the AI.
Wait til we discover the launchpads in the geologic record.
I have it on good authority that the dinosaurs didn’t go extinct, they predicted the Chicxulub collision and escaped the Earth on arks. Of course they realized that their warm blooded servitor species would survive the impact and evolve sentience much like their own (they created our genomes, so it was easy to predict), so they hid the launchpads until we would be ready to see them.
The arks landed on Planet 9 (the big one, not the lil one), since it was less likely to be hit by similar events. They hollowed it out, helping to create Pluto and Ceres, and have been living in there ever since.
Discovering the launchpads will show them that we’ve achieved sufficient technological prowess for them to reveal themselves to us. I can’t wait!
I hate it so much that I can’t tell if you’re dead serious or joking…
What could be more serious than the future of humanity in the stars? Once we reunite with our glorious reptilian creators, we will ascend to the stars!
Yeah please stop?
I know you’re kidding and all but right now I’m getting severe “I have a podcast about this” vibes from you and it makes me feel rather… Aggressive.
I’m so extremely done with dumb people shouting their voices on the internet, running the world, that I seriously consider the internet a failure, and humanities biggest mistake ever. Smart people keep to themselves, do their own thing, and all the removed out there start shouting their stupidities and theories and whatnot. And whoever shoots the loudest, wins. After this last trump victory, it’s been a bit of “the last straw” for me.
As a subscriber to /c/insanepeoplefacebook it took me a couple paragraphs to figure out if you were serious.
When the dinosaurs send arks to bring us home to glorious Planet 9, I’ll make sure to save you a seat.
I eagerly await the ascension.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Musta been while you were kissing me.
It’s going to be glorious.
Then they escaped to the Delta Quadrant.
All this was foretold in that documentary sent back from the future: Star Trek Voyager.
The dinosaurs want us to be successful and join them, that’s why they keep helping us!
I never supported the discrimination against Pluto and all the mobbing calling it names like “dwarf” and saying that he is too small. It’s just disgusting how mean people can be sometimes. Want a ninth planet? I’m in team Pluto!
If you accept Pluto, you have to accept at least half a dozen trans-Neptunian objects as well as the asteroid Ceres, in which case planet nine already exists and would be Neptune. Well, most of the time anyway. Sometimes Pluto passes inside Neptune’s orbit.
Or maybe you’d like to consider Triton, Neptune’s retrograde moon as a planet as well, on account of how it was probably a dwarf planet in its own right until Neptune plucked it out of its orbit. Once a planet, always a planet, right? Neptune even tried to do the same to Pluto which is why it has such a weird orbit.
Be team dwarf planet. Lots of new friends outside the regular eight, and Pluto’s a founder member.
Yet no planet to be found! And they’ve looked. I propose a micro black hole instead, much harder to spot with similar gravitational influences
Primordial black hole as they’re called. They’re still a theory at this point but I find it very plausible. And how cool would it be to have a primordial black hole in the neighbourhood? Even the name is cool.
