sister sun???

aloha everyone! so i was just on facebook when i stumbled upon a 2012 page. this person said that the sun has a sister sun which orbit each other every 13,000 years. and the closest that they are going to get will happen on 2012. this post caused a lot of fear to people. and if so, i would like to ask favors from you guys to please explain this before people will commit suicide. i know i can rely on you guys and i can trust you 100%. lavyah all :)

this person said that the sun has a sister sun which orbit each other every 13,000 years.

So why has no one seen or otherwise detected it? Irregularities in known orbits would be obvious to even amateur astronomers, in the event such an object resided close enough to matter. Even if it exists (which it doesn't), what could it possibly do that we should be worried about? Nothing, of course.

thanks. you really are the greatjuju *talking like darthvader* lol. i know and plus wouldn't NASA had detected or known about it since before?

Yes. You don't miss a thing like another star. What is being refered to here is known as a binary system. Stars with binary partners tend to be violent, especially if it's binary partner is in close proximity. This is simply not our star, the sun, which is very stable and works in regular cycles. Ignore anyone who goes on something like facebook and spreads rumours, they are attention seekers, nothing more.

If we were in a binary system then the sun would have a barric centre outside the sun.
The lowest Brown dwarf mass calculation shows that the mass would be minimal 1.25% of the Sun mass.
This would show up in the redshift as a clear signal that a big mass is out there.

13,000 year orbit means that it is very close too!

Just did a quick calculation.
An object orbiting in 13,000 years would be around 560 AU away.
Pluto is now 32 AU away. so it would be a mere 17 times further than Pluto.

The barric centre would be at 6.82 AU so Earth would wobble relative to the stars and be visible in the redshift. We have red-shift measurements 100 years ago to compare with.

Maybe you should ask him how far such a second sun would need to be for a period of 13,000 years.
Ask him how close it will get.
You can also ask him why it does not show up very bright as an Infra Red lightsource?

And how on earth would an orbit that is 13,000 years have one specific period of a day or week? The closest approach would probably last a hundred years or so.

Here's some fact that people making these theories ignores.

Humans has been around for 250,000 years. If a giant planet/sun/thingy was due to be close to earth, it would most likely pull the moon away from us.
No Moon = No Life on Earth.
Now tell me, how can people have been around for 250,000 years, if a planet/sun/thingy crosses every 13,000 year and our moon is still here?

I agree and even if it did not pull the moon. The moons orbit would become very eccentric which clearly is not.
