Our solar system is a binary system with an asteroid belt consisting of the remains of a planet that blew up a long time ago. My father who was an astronomer said that our sun (a binary sun system) is slowly dying, but we still have billions of years left.
Can you provide evidence for this claim? I can find no evidence that our system is binary. Why do you believe it?
My dad was a mathematician and taught physics and astrophysics at the university. He was simply teaching the wisdom of his time. He was working with the US government so he had access to the latest research by JPL and NASA. He said that our solar system is a binary one from the latest evidence, but that the "dead" star companion was way out in space in its own orbit, but that it is not visible as it does not give out rays like our primary sun. He mentioned something about telltale wobbles and the science of magnetic attraction that can be calculated with highly advanced math and that those calculations indicate a missing planet and a smaller companion dwarf sun. I do not have access to his lecture notes. My mom might but she does not know how to operate his computer.
