Here is a bit more on this bizarre and very clever theory:
If Nemesis traveled through the Oort cloud every 27 million years, some argue, it could kick extra comets out of the sphere and send them hurling toward the inner solar system — and Earth. Impact rates would increase, and mass extinctions would be more common.
The Kuiper Belt, a disk of debris that lies inside of the solar system, also has a well-defined outer edge that could be sheared off by a companion star. Researchers have found other systems where a companion star seems to have affected the shape of the debris disks.
What do you think? Does this explain some of the mysterious geological events that have taken place in the past that are not documented extensively? Feel free to comment with your ideas on this one and check back as new updates come in!

All depends on if Jupiter fuses and ignites, it is in perfect condition to do exactly that.
I always imagined a planet with a binary star to have another sun on the sky in some kinda way. It sucks to think we have a type of sniper binary star hidden out there shooting bullets at us.
The star Sirius is bound to us
Stfu!!!!!!!
Ours is a red drawf.
I first read about this more than 40 years ago. I’ve entertained the notion for all these years.
