What If We Found Planet 9?

What If | May 22, 2026



We all know the Solar System has 8 planets. Well, 9 before we kicked Pluto out. But over the last decade, scientists have noticed something strange on the outskirts of the Solar System, out beyond Neptune, Pluto, even the Kuiper Belt.

Beyond all those icy entities, something odd is lurking. It’s disrupting the orbits of rocky, frozen objects nearby. And that something is a massive, hidden planet. Or at least it could be. It could be something else entirely. What happens if we actually find a tiny black hole instead of a secret planet the size of Neptune? We’re going to find out.

00:00 What If We Found Planet 9?

    Um….. Pluto?? I honestly don't give a rip that they suddenly call it a "dwarf" because dwarf was used as a descriptor, a dwarf_planet._. That's how Iand majorities knew it DECADES ago before the arrogant title change. At some planet uto received another special title they acknowledge the mistake….. Besides, it does have its own moovs, it orbits out sub, doesn't matter if something gets in its path during its orbit so long as it doesn't stop it from completing its orbit. Pluto LEGITIMATELY IS our 9th known planet. The other dwarfs we have no idea….. Shouldn't we be asking what if we found our 10th planet and beyond??

    Could it beurre a rogue planΓ¨te or rogue star …a dead rogue star who passing by million uears ago .. could explain all gigantisme impact we get …all moon impacte get..there scars….and if something rogue with huge gravity..like a dead star….had pass by ..it would had impact all thing in that spot…plus it would had throw a lot of meteor and huge rock every where….could it be when Teyia had pass by and Hurt the HEART ….there a lot of explication not just a nine planΓ¨te or blackhole

    hey what if guy I have a cool idea for a what if you could do. what if the Apollo 11 (July 16–24, 1969 Moon landing) but when we got to the moon it’s has buildings from ancient Egypt and a great pyramid on the moon how would the world react knowing that Egypt building was on the moon.

    Finally, talking about Planet Nine as Chase discovers it.
    What if, Planet Nine is either Super-Earth or Mini-Neptune, is an interesting question, because finding planets in the interstellar zone are a lot more challenging than finding exoplanets outside of our Solar System.

    Speaking of a black hole, what about: What If Chase enters a Blanet?

    Planet 9 could be a brown dwarf or a black hole. There is apparently a big gravitational force back there.
    5:26 Aren't asteroids further apart in reality? It's not like Star Wars.
    I would name a planet Mybigtoe!
    What the flux was that?
    Did Chase die from being crushed?
    Did an alternate universe just happen? We are seeing both a super Earth and a Mini Neptune.
    So did the 3 Chases come from difference dimensions with different things in space?
    A brown dwarf could be out there too instead of a black hole.
    (CRACK) Gravitational anomaly detected.
