Probably because we discovered 'dark matter'.
I often think that we're living there.
>>Neither is opinion. You stated as fact that Gor is vilified and 50 Shades is mainstream. Neither is true, the fact is both are considered crap and neither is mainstream.
50 Shades is in movie theatres right now. It occupies an end cap at Target. Your opinion that it is not “mainstream” is wrong. You don’t like 50 Shades and neither do I. That’s why I said that we are in the dark ages now. But pretending that it doesn’t exist as a real part of our sick culture is like refusing to call terrorists Muslims.
And yes, Gor has always been crap. But, it was entertaining crap when I was young and it is vilified today (Google it).
Nope. See post 35 for the diagram. The article gets it right. The point directly opposite the earth would be the L3 Langrange point. That point is unstable in the direction tangetial to the orbit. That means that a planet at that point would stay put if the earth, the sun and that planet were the only bodies in the solar system. They are not. Peturbations from other bodies would lead to the planet moving just a bit ahead of the L3 point or just a bit behind. Once that occurs, the earth’s and sun’s gravity would tend to exacerbate the shift away from L3. That’s what it means when we say a Langrange point is unstable. For the stable ones, such as L4 or L5, peterbations tend to be counteracted by the earth’s and sun’s gravity, so the object stays put. Of course there cannot be planets at those points; we would have observed them by now.
“Doppleganger’.
Astronomers noted a gaseous discharge from the core.
And is protested by both the BDSM community and Christian right. Lots of stuff hits the movie theaters without being mainstream. Even a movie that grosses $129 million is actually only watched by a very small number of people (easy math is divide by 10, $129 million means about 13 million people, or about 4% of the population, hardly mainstream).
Gor should be vilified. It started as crap and turned into violent pornographic crap. Really all the same criticisms lodged against it are lodged against 50 Shades also. Both are criticized for presenting abusive behavior as good. The only real difference between them is point of view, one is from the rapist guy, the other is from the willing to be raped girl. And the complaints reflect that, google them both. They are both equally vilified.
Kill joy!

Actually, if a planet was there, I think its presence would have been deduced from its gravitational pull on Venus and Mars.

Gamera visits a planet on the opposite side of the Sun.
Watch the MST3K version...it’s more coherent.
No No No!!! If there was another planet that would me that there would be two Obamas and two such egos would surely cause the solar system to collapse in on itself and create a black hole. OOOPS! Th think I just made a racist comment!
Everything is opposite! The Obama on the ‘Other’ Earth would be a Raging Right Winger!...............
Paul McCartney and Wings would still be cool.............
He would be escorting illegals across the Rio Grande.................
Everyone has seen Uranus, dude....
That's unfortunate, I always wished that planet was inhabited by nubile maidens intent on invading earth and making men their sex slaves........Oh well....
