planet X is not going to hit us because it is not a planet but a ''death star'' or a brown dwarf, it is a failed star because it has to small mass to create nuclear fusion, but its still bigger than Jupiter.
A Brown dwarf is about 20-50 times larger than Jupiter, an object with that much mass, anywhere within a few light years of earth would be a constantly documented astronomical event (I.E. We'd know its Velocity, Mass, Direction, Composition, etc). If this was coming anywhere close to our heliosphere it would first deflect a large amount of of
comets,
asteroids, and planetoids towards the inner
solar system, thus us. Due to it's massive gravity. We would know exactly its whereabouts and every astronomer would be able to see it better than they could Jupiter or any other non-jovial planets.
Now what it means that it is a planet is because the Mayans where convinced that
Planet X where another
solar system with 4 or 5 planets and Earth was apart of it but after a catastrophic occurrence earth became apart of this
solar system instead.
Collected dirt samples on mars,
the moon, and earth all indicate we came from the same astronomical supernovae product. If our
solar system had only 4 or 5 planets in it, the unbalanced gravitational attraction would cause most of the planets to either gain an eccentric orbit and fling them out of our system due to angular momentum becoming greater than their geo-solar escape velocity. And the fact that earth somehow was flung into this
solar system and was able to reside into a perfect 300 mile strip of habitable zone in space, out of the 93,000,000miles between us and
the sun, and the parsecs of space the other way is just to much for an extra solar collision. And also, if the earth was to leave the area of the heliosphere on it's travel towards this system, the gamma rays, lack of oxygen, and temperature would kill any sustainable life.
So how will
planet X hurt us: well when it is going to get close to our star it will get instable and ignite so we will see two suns in the skies and global warming will be a serious problem and when global warming is in the picture you can only imagine what will happen (well see day after tomorrow and you might see a sneak of what will happen)
and approximately 70% (not sure) of the humans will not make it.
There's no reason to believe that a Brown Dwarf would ignite once it got close to our sun, Nuclear fusion is cause by the runaway fusion of atoms and their differentiated masses release energy. The Temperature effects on a brown dwarf approaching our sun's Corona (Hotter than the surface) or Surface would not undergo fusion, but would only have the ability to possibly ignite. Furthermore, Brown Dwarf's Composition is of lithium, which eliminates its ability of solar fusion, since
the sun fuses Hydrogen into helium, and then helium into other atoms once it starts to greatly age (a few billion more years for us). It is possible for Lithium to fuse, and still give off energy, but it is impossible under the idea that approaching
the sun would cause this.
If there was another non-blackbody, light emanating star in our system, the premise of global warming would be far overshadowed and earth's surface would be annihilated, much to the point of it's surface conditions resembling that of Venus due to the extra solar heat of a Binary star system.
There would be no 70% anyways(Did you make that Survival Percentage up?), if this was a binary system, we'd all be dead, in about a few seconds. There is no extra solar object that is going to collide with earth anytime soon.
And is this some fan-fiction website?
What do I know? I'm just majoring in Astrophysics..
