Do you believe...

[LauriJ]

That there is an another planet orbiting the same path as Earth but is on opposite side from the sun? I mean, it would make sense, right? We don't really know what's in there and there could very well be a planet or something much bigger.

Sorry to be a party-pooper but I'd be very surprised if none of many probes we're sent round the sun on the way to other planets would have spotted such a planet, or that it wouldn't have collided with Earth by now in the 4 billion years it has orbited (even the tiniest difference in speed would make collision inevitable over millions of years). I also think we would have noticed it's gravitational effects.

 

[Hazy992]

No I don't believe that. There's absolutely no evidence for it.

Sorry to be a party-pooper but I'd be very surprised if none of many probes we're sent round the sun on the way to other planets would have failed to miss such a planet, or that it wouldn't have collided with Earth by now in the 4 billion years it has orbited (even the tiniest difference in speed would make collision inevitable over millions of years).

Or maybe the planet is playing a clever game of hide-and-go-seek?

OT: No no, we'd be screwed by now if that was the case.

Sorry OP, physics wins this round.

I don't believe your theory OP. However I do believe that the moon is made of cheese, mature cheddar to be precise.

I concur that it's made of cheese, as demonstrated by Wallace and Gromit, however the type was never specified other than it's not Wensleydale.

I always carry a spare if you want to borrow it?

 

[DANEgerous]

To put it mildly FUCKING NO even rather basic astronomy can tell you that even without direct observation of such a planet it's presence you be rather obvious simply due to physics. You see anything as large as Earth ha a fairly significant gravitational pull one that would effect other planets just as outs effects other planets and such a mass does not exist.

Nope.. no other planet like ours orbiting on the same path .... would definately have been spotted by now and .. from the other side of the sun.. isnt that still technically our orbit path? since we go AROUND the sun.. i dont see how u mean the OTHER side of the sun... unless u mean inside.. and thats just ridiculous then.

 

[Esotera]

We would observe its gravitational effects on other planets, as its presence would alter the orbits of other planets such as Mars and Venus quite noticeably. As there isn't any evidence of this, I'm going to say it doesn't exist.

 

[jizzytissue]

hahahahaha nope learn science/astronomy then post m'kay ?

 

[BaronUberstein]

Clearly this world is manned by super-scientists who sneer at physics, what with their anti-physics machines that hide their world by making it simply NOT EXIST. Unless they want it to exist.

 

[ReadyAmyFire]

Don't know what's in where? In the sun? Behind the sun?

I think something that massive would be noticed by its gravitational effects. Was it Neptune or Pluto which was found specifically by following an unknown source of gravity?

inb4 jokes about the size or Ur(my)anus.

 

[wottabout]

Have you ever heard of the book series The Chronicles of Gor? It's about a planet similar to what you describe. (Well, actually, it's about people having sex on said planet, but that's a bit off-topic...)

 

[XMark]

We've had a bunch of probes wandering around the solar system outside of Earth's orbit. One of those would have seen the mirror Earth by now.

OP means on the same path but always on the other side of the sun so we can never see it because the sun's in the way. It's a nice idea but I'm pretty sure any number of probes would have seen it by now if we didn't already notice the gravitational effects.

I hear one of Jupiter's nine moons, Europa, has water on in (though it's below a thick layer of ice).

Behind the sun, at the opposite side of earth's orbit. And let's assume that this planet in question is about the same size as Earth and does not cause any noticeable gravitational effects.
