Ah, got it. I thought this was referring to rouge systems and stars.

Apparently, Jupiter might have been our second star and make us a binary system. “If it has been more massive.”

Balderdash. The Sun accounts for 99% of the matter in our solar system. Of the remaining 1%, Jupiter is 2.5 times more massive than all the other planets combined. Jupiter would have to be 13 times more massive than it is just to be considered a brown dwarf. There was never enough matter in our solar system for Jupiter to ever become a “star” so saying “might have been” is a bit of a stretch.
