New Planet? New patrol! (Off-Topic)

So some scientists are claiming evidence that might point to a new planet 10x the mass of Earth orbiting way out super far from the sun.

Great place to hide a warmind from the darkness, yes? Get on it Bungie. If you start making it now it can be in the game when it's officially discovered in 5-7 years.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Virtually every single mathematically predicted planet has been shown not to exist, with the single exception of Neptune.

I'll be watching, but I won't hold my breath.

I'll allow it. Hope it's called Nibiru.

Also, knowing "scientists", they'll slot this 10th planet into Pluto's spot, forever ruining the world as I know it. :(

What they *should* have done is establish essentially the same functional categories they did, but leave "planet" as an umbrella term, with the clear-the-orbit planets being called "non-dwarf" planets or some smoother modifier. That way Pluto can be a dwarf planet, and conversations about planets need not get derailled if someone dare refer to it as a planet.
