Planet Z Theorem

Someone today asked me explain my Planet Z Theorem to them. What the heck is that? Well, let me tell you!

Have you ever had a feeling that something was happening that you could not put your finger on? You just know something is going on, someone is doing something that will impact you. It may be comments from people or a strange set of occurrences. Its just a feeling you get. And then – boom – that “something” is revealed to you – your instincts were correct.

I call this my Planet Z theorem. Two thoughts lead me to this:

1 – In planetary science we can often infer that certain things are occuring which we can not see due to how other objects are effected by gravity. In fact, scientists today are looking for “new Earths” using a variant of this – by looking for a certain wobble in a star or shadows of objects in front of stars we can infer that a planet we can not see exists. They can also calculate the path of planets in a stellar system and compare to what they actually see. If there is a difference between what they compute and what they see – they must be missing something! Come on, you watch the Discovery channel don’t you?

2 – My father tells an amazing story (yeah – multiple times) about a physcology class he took during his undergraduate studies. Their professor brought in a person whom was supposedly crazy and had been abducted by aliens so that the class could interview them. This person told the class that the aliens showed him a planet we didn’t know about (lets call it Planet Z so this all makes sense) out in the far reaches of our solar system. He also told the class that the aliens took his very old dog and placed him into a machine which made the very old dog a puppy again. Scientists later discovered the planet – Pluto – and I have hope someday I will be abducted and get some of my dogs back!

So when you have a feeling that something is going on and your feeling the “gravity” of a situation or sense a set of decisions you may not be aware of have been made that your just not aware of yet – trust your gut – its Planet Z.

I use this gut instinct to make me think more about what may be happening, or how I may be impacting others around me in ways I did not initially understand.

There have been times when there was no “Planet Z” either, so this might just be a bunch of hokum. Maybe I am just becoming paranoid in my middle age.
