Did our solar system once harbor an extra planet?
A computer simulation has shown that our solar system couldn't have formed without an extra planet. But if that theory is true, what happened to it?

yes there is another planet do some research its called nibaru or plant x as ome ppl call it
Yea there was another planet Pluto.....LOL Just kidding..
Hopefully it won't come find us
Anyone got gas?
doesnt the bible explain this somewhere???
Maybe it does; but if it doesn't I'm sure it will come out in the next edition to be published next year, which was actually written 2,000 years ago... lolz
so .... no one noticed that there was and asteroid belt out there that may have once been more?
The asteroid belt doesn't even contain enough material to even make up an earth let alone another giant gas planet... Also their talking about a gas giant, not a rocky planet. Try reading the whole article before you imply that scientists are dumb.
we know so much and yet so little...I love it!
"This scenario is backed up by recent discoveries of free-floating planets in interstellar space, likely expelled from their solar systems."
Correction: Star System, there is only one Solar System, ours.
I was born 10,000 years ago
Nothing personal, but had a fifth giant gaseous planet been a member of our solar system even now, would it have prevented the human population of Earth from killing each other in stupid wars that make no sense; murdering innocent foetuses and then complaining that the working population is not enough to support future Social Security recipients; education paid by taxpayers that is free to all children who graduate still unable to read, write or spell correctly; rampant corruption in politics,.... More
Or maybe the other comments are jokes made by people with a sense of humour... chill'out...
That extra planet? It stays hidden behind Jupiter at all times... it only comes out when the Klingons are on Uranus.
The gas giant was named Al Sharpton
Sinners repent... Wormwood is on approach
It was raining for 40 daya and 40 nights when the two planets colided and it knocked the ark right off the planet over to mother earth.Can't build a good ark like that any more!
The opening sentence: "a computer simulation has shown that our solar system couldn't have formed without an extra planet," is poorly worded to use the phrase "couldn't have formed," when the second paragraph says "it seems unlikely that our solar system could have formed at all."
"Couldn't have" and "unlikely" are not equal.
It's the "Mother Nature Network", what do you expect... It's good enough the author didn't stop in the middle of the story and forget to finish it because they were high... lolz

Duuuh, ever heard of Zecharia Sitchin and also The Babylonian Epic of Creation??? Duuuhhhh.
Old news people. The Sumerians called it Nibiru and NASA is looking for Pl anet X.
Read for yourself. http://churchofcriticalthinking.org/planetx.html
Anyone that believes those "prophetic" rants is probably not capable of understanding what this article is writing about.
Maybe the lost planet was Atlantis? And what do you think the Meteor belt is???? The lost planet maybe???
That's Asteroid Belt, and, scientists have determined that the total mass of the belt wouldn't add up to much less that about that of a good sized moon.
With the human race's luck, we'll probably end up with a real-life replay of "When Worlds Collide"---Bellus and Xyra are coming!
GAAAAAAH! ;-)
Two words: peer review
:l pluto
I wonder if he factored in the complete Mass of the asteroid belt? It seems like this could more than make up for the 5th planet
If the asteroid belt was a planet it would have been rocky planet not a gas giant.
"orbiting some 15 times further from the sun then our planet Earth."
A writer, and you do not know the difference between thEn and ThAn!?!
thEn = sEquence; thAn = compAre
I would rather be given a million dollars, THEN have my head cut off?
Zechariah Sitchin has been writing about this since the 70s...
Duh, of course there was another planet, Nibiru will be returning next year in 2012! Pfft...
Duh, Nibiru will be returning next year. OF COURSE there was another planet...duh...pfft...
Makes me wonder about such a huge body floating through space and eventually hitting earth.
so, how has your mom been?

It's already happened, the prevailing theory about our moon is that it originated from a collision of a primordial semi-molten earth with a Mars-sized planet.
Read the following page and let me know if you beleive in this prevailing theory.
The probability of such an event occuring are quite nearly infinitesimal Don't lose any sleep over it - the chance of dying in a traffic accident is millions of times higher.
Damn your probabilities! There could be a rogue planet heading for us right now! If that's not an excuse to invent bigger, better bombs, I'm not sure what is!
*runs around in utter pants-wetting panic*
I believe the odds are... astronomical!
