Why Planet 9 May Not Exist with Kevin Napier
About this episode
Kevin Napier discusses his research on the existence of Planet Nine and its implications.
Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin wrote the Planet Nine hypothesis paper in 2019. Since then, there has been a concerted effort to find the mysterious planet 9. Last month, Kevin Napier, a PHd candidate from the University of Michigan lead a team to study the apparent clustering of Extreme trans-Neptunian objects, and found that there was No Evidence for Orbital Clustering in the Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects. Is this correct? Do we need more data? or is Planet 9 real? Kevin joins John Michael Godier to discuss his paper and provide a response to rebuttals by Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin.The Planet Nine Hypothesis https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.10103.pdfNo Evidence for Orbital Clustering in the Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.05601.pdfWant to support the channel?Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EventHorizonShowFollow us at other places!Website: https://www.eventhorizonshow.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jmgeventhorizonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jmgeventhorizon/Music featured on Event…
