    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.

    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!

    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
