Scientist on trail of mysterious 'Planet X'
| Quote From Source: | Tadashi Mukai, a professor at Kobe University, found himself in the spotlight after he announced that his calculations strongly suggested the existence of Planet X--a hypothetical planet that some scientists believe orbits the sun in the far reaches of the solar system on a 1,000-year cycle.
If the planet is actually discovered, the 62-year-old scholar will be the first Japanese to make an imprint on the history of planetary discovery.
"I had been skeptical about the existence of Planet X until a year ago, but our computational accuracy has increased through a process of trial and error, and I've come to believe that it exists," he said.
Its discovery would likely revive the controversy that erupted in astronomical circles after Pluto was declared not to be a planet in the summer of 2006.
"I'm looking forward to causing a storm, as that would really draw people's attention to planetary science again," Mukai said.

Nibiru?
As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
