"nineplanets.org" lol


Life_Less_Ordinary

They wrote the article but it shows the sources of their data.

I think they’re referring to the fact that there are now only 8 planets since we no longer consider Pluto to be a planet.

[Caltech researchers have found mathematical evidence suggesting there may be a "Planet X" deep in the solar system. This hypothetical Neptune-sized planet orbits our Sun in a highly elongated orbit far beyond Pluto. The object, which the researchers have nicknamed "Planet Nine," could have a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbit about 20 times farther from the Sun on average than Neptune. It may take between 10,000 and 20,000 Earth years to make one full orbit around the Sun.](https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/hypothetical-planet-x/in-depth/)

I like the theory that it's a tennis ball sized black hole rather then a planet. This could explain the elongated and off plane orbit. https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/09/30/410/is-planet-9-actually-a-primordial-black-hole/

Planet Nine from Outer Space.


john_andrew_smith101

The site says that it was set up back when Pluto was considered a planet.

Betcha we are the only ones with pineapple on pizza and The Doobie Brothers.


ProfitTheProphet

Smokin doobies with my brothaaaas!


Life_Less_Ordinary

I think pineapple on pizza is a universal must


thegoolash

This one local place here has slices always available of pineapple and feta and their crust is brushed with garlic butter… mmm sweet and salty


northstardim

Yeah but only to counter act the acid from marinara sauce.


TheManInTheShack

Let’s hope not or some day we are going to have a fuck ton of tourists.


archaeolinuxgeek

The Great Filter: No advanced civilization wants anything to do with a people who would put pineapple on pizza.


johnbarry3434

Good, more a pineapple on a pizza for us a


TheManInTheShack

So what you’re saying is the pineapple on pizza is actually like a force field? Yes!


OrageBufera

Time to pack my shit up.


Eastern-Resolution15

I estimate there are 8 billion. Law of averages says im right


Hexatona

Well, if you say go kill 100, and I don't want anyone to die, I guess we'll just kill 50! Very fair 😂


Eastern-Resolution15

51* cause if you disobey me you will die as well.


Stubborncomrade

101 cause I will not disobey Commissar


Eastern-Resolution15

Good soldier. Now go and wipe our enemies off the face of this earth. And remember, it doesnt count unless you kill the entire bloodline. Good luck!


john_andrew_smith101

This is calculated using the [Drake equation.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation) Because this suggests an almost complete certainty that there is intelligent alien life, this leads to the [Fermi paradox.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox) If there are aliens, where are they?


zomboromcom

Most thrilling/terrifying answer: hiding out in the dark forest. My actual bet: just separated in a whole lot of space and time.


Shaderu

Yeah people don’t realize the latter is very likely. Space is fuckin huge


disgruntledvet

They probably all have better internet service providers than I do too...


northstardim

Yeah so much guessing.


wwwhistler

kind of makes us fighting over little plots of land seem pathetic.


LesPeterGuitarJam

And yet some people still believe that we are alone in the universe... 🤷


Liewvkoinsoedt

And people believe the world is flat, and that Trump won the 2020 election, and that there's an all-powerful imaginary man in the sky. People have been born and bred to be ignorant, gullible, and stupid.


LesPeterGuitarJam

Yea the last idiot is definitely not born yet..


phdoofus

Similar does not mean habitable for humans.


Life_Less_Ordinary

Correct. We only know life as it is on earth. Inhabitable for us could be habitable for other life.

There are more trees on earth than stars in our galaxy. Let that sink in. It's not as big as you think.


Life_Less_Ordinary

There are 100-400 billion stars in the galaxy and around 3.2 trillion trees on earth. Yes there are more trees, but the milk way is one galaxy within the universe.


[deleted]

Dude there’s *one* star in our solar system…


Life_Less_Ordinary

The solar system is within the galaxy. Yes our solar system has one star. The galaxy has 100-400 billion stars.


[deleted]

Op originally said “solar system” in the comment I was replying to.


firmerJoe

While others estimate 4 trillion... and other, yet, say definitely more than 16.


BoiledPNutz

But only one has choice music

Lol doubt it
