I can almost garentee that the state I live in has more nukes by it self than Iran has in the entire country. If North Korea was helping them build their tunnels and North Korea just exploded their first nuke this last year then don't yu think that it would be improbable that Iran has more nukes than they do besides the fact (I know some of you are going to try and argue this next point from me but whatever I do not care do not PM or flame me) the UN closely moniters all sales of items required to make a enriched uranium that is required for use in a nuke. They moniter all shipments of such materials but they do nothing about them (There my saving grace for bringing up the UN) I live in Wyoming the nuke center of the world so to speak. During the cold war over three hundred missles were installed inside my COUNTY lines let alone the state. Speaking of the cold war America out produced every single country in the world for making nukes and we still have almost our entire stockpile. So do some more homework before you say Iran has the most nukes in the world.
Now the planet X theory here is the biggest problem say we used the largest sized astroid in the solar system it is about 900km across to give you an idea what thats like the state of texas is about 1200 or 1400km I do not remember at the moment again more perspective if all the known objects of non planet or moon classes were put into one solid objet they would be around 1500km across or less than half earths moon however you want to look at it. Now to the edge of the astroid belt is about 2.7 times the distance from the earth to the sun so this astoriod would have to be traveling at about well lets see the earth is on average 92 million miles away from the sun so 2.7 * 92,000,000 = 248,400,000 So a mile is about 1.609 km meaning the fringe of the astroid belt is 399,675,600km away from the sun or 251,647,600km away from earth meaning that the 900km across astroid would have to travel at 29,370.6349kmph now that is the speed it would take for the astroid to reach earth in one year. Now lets say that this planet x is the size of lets say pluto just to be on the fair side now from the sun to the edgoe of the solar system because of our earths sun the edge of the solor system is about two light years away now because light travels at about 1,079,252,848.8kmph so two light years equal 18,494,076,803,328km so in order for planet x to reach earth in five years it needs to travel at about 432913282.85kmph and then it needs to slow down to a speed that it will be able to enter into earths orbit. and this all depends on if planet x is on a direct course for the exact position where earth will be in five years so I think the probability is very slim that planet x is a reality.
