if a planet revolves where no one is able to journey, do the trees on it still make a sound when they fall?

Oddly the extreme limits of the suns gravitational belt make a “catching place” for objects that are not of our solar system if they are not of high velocity. If they are of high velocity they just cruise past with slightly different trajectories. There is a lot of strange things far outside of Pluto’s orbit once considered a planet. It is a planet in my estimation but I am not an astronomer.

Unlike most... I think it is very important to find this. One more unforeseen gravitational factor we were not aware of. Thank you.

Thanks. I posted a thread myself earlier on this. Different article, though.

Back in the ‘70s we took the kids to the Palomar observatory. On one large wall was a blow up of the heavens. On the lower left was a tiny dot circled in red with a notation. Thinking it was the farthest star, I went for a closer look. No, not the farthest star, the farthest GALAXY. I stood there stunned as the immensity of space finally sunk in.
