If you point out one of his many mat...Typical Bara. If you point out one of his many mathematical errors he will call you a homo out to get him S.O.B. If it becomes clear that one of his many theories are just plain wrong. He will deny being wrong and blame the powers that be for covering up "his truth" because they are scared of it.<br /><br />Same shit will happen with Planet 9. If it is discovered, Bara will claim a victory, and begin the preen-fest and yet another search for a mate. If Planet 9 is not found and another explanation that does not require a ninth planet is put forth. Bara will claim a cover-up and a victory. It's always a win-win situation for pseudoscience.Binaryspellbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267580272489277927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-5863166895672852452016-01-21T06:50:42.917-08:002016-01-21T06:50:42.917-08:00George: Yes, I've edited.

Thanks.<br /><br />Dee: It's a fair question. <a href="http://w.astro.berkeley.edu/~gmarcy/astro160/papers/brown_dwarfs_failed_stars.pdf" rel="nofollow">This document</a> says:<br /><br />The distinction between hydrogen-fusing stars and brown dwarfs is well defined. But what distinguishes brown dwarfs from planets, given their similar sizes and atmospheric properties? Astronomers vigorously debating that semantic question fall mainly in two camps. One advocates a definition based on formation—a brown dwarf condenses out of giant molecular clouds, whereas a planet forms via core accretion in a circumstellar debris disk. The other focuses on interior physics: A brown dwarf must be heavier than the mass threshold for core fusion of any element, roughly 13 Jupiter masses. Pluto’s recent demotion has focused attention on the ambiguity of the term “planet” in the solar system. Brown dwarfs are forcing us to reexamine a related ambiguity in a galactic context.expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369924104634464934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-14756731414938451652016-01-20T22:42:33.799-08:002016-01-20T22:42:33.799-08:00What would be then the exact, defining difference ...What would be then the exact, defining difference between some very low-mass, ultra-cool brown dwarf and a gas giant? In terms of detection of course. Or is it the "loose binary" statement which is more problematic? I suppose even the tiniest brown dwarf would show a clear gravitational pull on more orbits than those of just a few rocks? <br /><br />I suppose one could say that Bara tried to create one "cosmic" speculative laymen theory which <i>requires</i> a couple of major changes to current scientific leading theories to stand some chance. In some way it's one giant betting game <i>against</i> "established" ideas. And everyone can then "buy in" to this wild bet when purchasing the book or promoting any of its subculture. Or just even entertaining it I suppose.<br /><br />DeeDeehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_dwarfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-83785505020298659842016-01-20T17:24:04.140-08:002016-01-20T17:24:04.140-08:00I think you mean "way out into the Oort Cloud...I think you mean "way out into the Oort Cloud", instead of the 30 to 50 AU Kuiper Belt.G-Zeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045778466138756755noreply@blogger.com
