Here's an interesting note on the discovery of Neptune: Leverrier had misjudged its mass, and his math describing its orbit was wrong as a result. However, by coincidence, the predicted orbit overlapped with the actual orbit in the 1840s, allowing Galle to see it. This overlap only occurs once every 200 years.

Vulcan vs Neptune vs Special Relativity is a classical example used when studying epystemology, of how when confronted by an anomaly in the data, scientists typically try first to solve it within the then currently accepted paradigm, by twitching here or there. Sometimes this works (as with Neptune), sometimes it doesn't (Vulcan). When too many anomalies start to gather, it's time to take a step back and check out new paradigms, that map yield results from an unexpected place

In a way the same kind of assumption nowadays is in play for the excistance of planet X; the massive planet supposed to exist in the outer reagons of the solar system and influencing the orbits of the Kuiperbelt objects like Pluto, Sedna, Eris, Haumea of Makemake. There could be such a planet, but it also could be an idea-fix based on calculations.
@Aztesticals

I like to hope that it may be more likely as many simulations of system formation show many bodies from 0.5-8x earth mass getting ejected out of the inner system early in life. With so many perhaps one was also turned by another protoplanet into a far elliptic orbit instead of an escape one
@Emdee5632
@Emdee5632 Год назад
As is often the case, many people confuse Planet X with Planet Nine. PX was supposed to be the planet perturbing the orbit of Neptune. When Voyager 2 made its 1989 flyby, they were able to do very precise measurements of its mass. It turned out that the mass estimates in the 19th century were a bit off. There was no need for a hypothetical planet, and that was the end of PX. Planet Nine is ANOTHER hypothetical planet and is supposed to influence orbits of Kuiper belt objects. Brown & Batygin and their team who had run the simulation program are convinced P9 exists - we'll see what happens...
@cykkm
@cykkm Год назад
“In a way the same kind of assumption” - if you're referring to the Batygin-Brown model, it's entirely different. Minor GR correction to the orbit of Mercury vs. a dozen of very obviously perturbed orbits (perfectly Newtonian, just very much out of expected alignment) explainable by a simple, although quite unconventional prediction of a planet on an unusual orbit. We observe a lot of quite weird orbit in multi-star systems. This is not at all prompting for a radical revision of gravity. You want gravity that changes over time, for it obviously perturbed these orbits in the past, but does not perturb them any more? But then did not affect other planets at the same time, so that gravity varies not only in time but from place to place, all within the gravity well of the Sun¹? That's too far-fetched. A past encounter with a massive body is a much simpler explanation for the orbits of the transplutonian objects. Computational models match-and these are many orders of magnitude more precise, multi-body computer simulations, compared to the simplistic Vulcan model in the 19c. Sorry about killing your idea on the spot, but just no. :) _____________ ¹ There _are_ models that attempt to correct GR in the very weak gravity limit, to get rid of dark matter, that stubbornly refuses to get detected. Nothing even close to solid math yet, but this is where we need to keep our minds open. But not in the Solar System, please.

@sparking023
@sparking023 Год назад
dark energy/matter are complicated because they're not easy to measure and/or observe, hence their name. both venues are currently being explored: a model that predicts dark matter/energy, but for that you have to get evidence of it existing, which is the entire problem; or other models that do away with them and propose another underlying mechanism for the laws of our universe. an example would be string theory, or M theory, which is a very elegant and concise solution, but the problem with those is also finding hard evidence of such constructs. In sum, we can't completely check the quantum world, neither the far distant deep space, at least with current technology.

@@sparking023 it’s difficult not to question our math when it comes to these theories. The whole gimmick of dark matter and dark energy is that it isn’t observable, similarly to quantum theory. I really enjoy the math and effort going into them, don’t get me wrong, but it really sounds like a physicist got drunk one night and said, “Our equation is wrong because of an unobservable force!”, and that joke was taken as the leading theory. The James Webb telescope has disproven many things we thought we knew about the early universe, and left others in question. We need better instruments and new approaches, not to write off things failing to add up on invisible problems. And hey, maybe I’m totally wrong, dark matter and quantum theory are really, really cool concepts. And I’d love for them to be true. It’s just hard to say 1+1=4 because of a 2 that if you observe doesn’t exist anymore.

@@karalyzel3177 it's funny because a lot of scientific discoveries were made precisely because something wasn't adding up and then they looked further into it. but I admit that I too feel like a lot of scientists are "making up" formulae and throwing it on the wall to see what sticks. It's not the most refined approach, but in theory, if you try everything, eventually you'll arrive at the correct answer and you're also correct in the difficulty in confirming those theories. I think that until we develop a way to get out there and check those galaxies, we'll never have a definitive answer as to why they're acting weird.

Wouldn't be too surprised if they saw "the anomaly" which is a circular dip in the photosphere that is sometimes associated with solar prominences. That thing can be mistaken for a planet, because it occurs further out from the sun unlike the usual sun spots. (It's probably something to do with magnetic fields that happens to clear out a void or cool off the gases inside it and makes it dark enough to look like an object orbiting the sun.) It's still a kind of weird phenomenon, as it doesn't happen too frequently and brings up a lot of speculation when it gets spotted.

Before I finish this video, what if Vulcan is a misunderstood effect from the sun, like perhaps there’s occasionally a mass ejection of plasma that immediately stops fusion reaction and slows down in an orbit bound to crash back into the sun, and it can get big enough to have its own gravitational pull?

Nice video. One error, somewhere around 9:38: it's not special relativity that predicted the perihelion shift of Mercury, but general relativity (this is correct in the caption above the paper). Also, general relativity/the perihelion shift doesn't have anything to do with speed (that would be special relativity, in principle, but nothing in our solar system is moving that quickly). Still, delightful video!

Excellent presentation. One takeaway is that Newtonian mechanics is a useful approximation, SR is a more accurate useful approximation until we find a more accurate one. Another takeaway is that all planets' orbits precess; Mercury's precession is merely most noticeable.
@Novusod

Vulcan could still exist if it was close enough into the sun. It would be difficult to detect visually and mathematically due to it's gravitational effects being canceled out by the mass of the sun.
@paulhaynes8045

It would have an effect on the orbit of Mercury which would be observable, but not explainable - even with the mass of the sun 'interfering'.

@@paulhaynes8045 Einstein only disproved that no planet could exist at that particular distance from the sun. Newtonian physics predicted that Vulcan would have existed at 10 million km from the Sun. Einstein said nope, relativity proves no planet should exist there. However there could still be a planet at 1 - 2 million km from the sun where it's influence on Mercury would be negligible. Such a planet would be completely masked by the sun's gravity.

@@CovertOperation13 No. Such a planet would be so hot that the surface would be perpetual lava. The planet Vulcan in Star Trek was habitable by humanoids despite being quite hot. It’s likely quite close, though I think Vulcan’s star might be brighter and hotter so possibly not even as close as Earth.
