    Can we put some respect at this man. He’s been grinding youtube nonstop for nearly 9 years straight.
  • If you are camping in a mountain and you have a fire, and there are lights in a city nearby, it is easier to see cars in that city with binoculars, than to spot a marble a few hundred meters away from the fire. The problem is that you rely on reflected light., and the car in the distance reflects more light than the marble near you. And on top of that you know the car is passing near a city light because you spotted the light first and the car is around. But with the marble you do not know where to look at.

    There is some theories that the reason why Planet Nine hasn't been seen is that is's a very small black hole. A very good video this was though^^
  • @MikinessAnalog
    The more you know, the more you realize how little you know.
  • @jakesta104
    I actually remember as a kid when they said on tv they found a new planet and called it planet x then after awhile it was like no never heard of it.
  • @esko911
    Imagine if he died from a stroke because he found planet X and he was so shocked, happy, and surprised that he suffered that stroke as a result, leaving everyone clueless that it exists lol.
  • @estabonjay
    What are you doing if planet 9 is actually a black hole about to mess us up because it’s working with Pluto.
  • @galilei7748
    It's worth mentioning that the red herring regarding Uranus and Neptune was actually the reason we discovered Neptune in the first place: astronomers inferred based on irregularities in Uranus's orbit that an unknown eighth planet was tugging on it, and that's what inspired them to search.
  • The reason why we found exoplanets before Planet X is the detection methods used. We find exoplanets by looking at a star and measuring the light it gives off. If there is a rhythmic dip in light level, there most likely is an exoplanet revolving around that star. We simply cannot do that with Planet X because it revolves around the same star as us
  • I have always enjoyed watching your videos, and I love all of the research that you do, too! Usually, YouTube videos have very few facts, and a ton of really cheesy, terrible jokes, but not you! Thank you so much for always doing the research, and for knowing how to keep your videos interesting as he*l, but without the stupid crap thrown in!
  • Respect, love the channel, and his reasoning. many, as I have, can learn from this channel.
  • @johncronin9540
    Well, if no Planet 9 is ever found, we could call it “Pluto’s Revenge”.
  • @RelativelyBest
    There's a perfectly rational explanation for all this: The aliens who live on Planet Nine are using their space magic to hide it.
  • @Tain950
    I totally agree just because we haven’t found it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. We have recently found planets that we had no idea existed
  • @Pauleigh55
    Love your work 😊. So very pleased to watch every new video. Seriously impressive.
  • @macumbeiro_xx
    Plot twist: when we find Planet X, its orbit appears to be influenced by another more massive object further away.
