The 9th Planet in our solar system
No, not Pluto. That's not a planet. Yeah, I know. It WAS classified as such, not long ago.However, Pluto turns out to be little more than a relatively small ice ball and there's thousands of those in our solar system. In reality, there's are only 8 actual planet's......... that we've seen.
Regardless, it seems, that there is actually a 9th planet in our solar system.
But it is way out there. It may have been a lot closer long ago, but was kicked out of
the solar system for smoking. Just kidding.
But, it may have been kicked out to the edge by a slingshot effect
from a gravitational interaction with our largest planet.
Some believe, that interaction actually saved Earth from destruction.
It may have altered the movements of our largest planet to miss a collision course with our Earth.
Regardless, we now postulate the existence of this 9th planet in a similar way that we
postulated the existence of the 7th & 8th planets long ago. By the effect on other orbits.
Some big effects.
Here's a TED talk about it;

I Interesting Jim are you looking to move anytime soon?
Moving to another planet may be the perfect solution for many.
I won't come myself as they say, you should never replant an old tree............
Elon Musk may feel differently. Perhaps he can take Trump with him.
I'm guessing your little package has fit in easily with quite a few.
Believe it or not, there's a song titled... Copernicus.
But it has little to do with him, or the sun;
This is a song about the place I come from
It's not on the moon at all
Where people's hearts are filled with passion
I miss it so, 'cause I'm here chasing love
In my land of great romantics
I'm the biggest dreamer of them all
No way to stop their desire to change
And to improve our world
One invented Esperanto
Ready to move and to try something new
I'm convinced that Chopin too
Would dig samba if he had a chance to groove
Though it's true
That I only know very few simple words of your language
I've cracked it I've decided
Because the only words we need to communicate
Are the ones that can help me say
"I do love you"
And that make me understand you love me too
Now, the interesting ancillaries to these dreams are, when I am having one of this series of dreams, the dreams themselves are not the same. I'm not having a repeating dream. I am having repeat venue visitations. The venues have their own story line and I seem to be popping in and out of awareness of them--as one might if all dream realms had their own reality and one were simply shifting attention between said venues/worlds. When I'm awake in one of these "visits"/dreams, I have a history and friends there--a life to which I waken in said venue and in which I am perfectly comfortable. Yet, comphy as I am there mostly, while I'm there, I keep remembering this world, the one we agree is "real". Like I recall (from our consensual world) these dreams, I recall from the dream venues I visit in this way, (There are 5 or 6 that I know of.) this world. That's all a lucid dream is, really: You remember this world from within a dream, just the way you remember a dream when you are awake. It's almost like when I'm sleeping here, I'm living in other worlds with my attention shifted there.
Anyway, great blog! I love science!
One does not know what one does not know, and to know that is to have a clue--and half a chance of surviving another day in this (quickly tilting) layer of Hell.
I ain't no Little Mary Sunshine these days. Can't imagine why...
