... how would we have known that planet existed at all?

Ineed, any planetary body that was ALWAYS on the other side of the Sun from us at all times?

I know it's an unlikely coincidence, but no more unlikely than the Moon being closer than the Sun to the Earth by almost exactly the same factor as it is smaller than the Sun (enabling perfect Solar eclipses to occur)... surely?

Thanks for all answers.

I've been wondering about this. I'm also curious as to know how we could shield the astronauts from the effects, would the effects be present on the Martian surface, and how can we test for possible methods of shielding and the effects of these radiations? I saw an article recently on how some fungi use radiation as an energy source - perhaps that is one way.

Can any astronautical boffins give me a rough estimate of how fast you'd have to go to get to the nearest solar system/s to ours? Return journey, what's the point on going if you can't come back and tell people? Bonus points if the elpased time on earth can be worked out too.

Science fiction [SF] writers have often been able to predict future[s], or so it seems. Is this the case or are we just copying from SF.

For example; the cell phone [mobile phone] first seen in the 1960s TV series "Star Trek" [beam me up Scottie].

Did we just copy that idea or was it a prediction?

NASA confessed they designed their set up on the Star Ship Enterprise. Copyists then!

If something weird crashed somewhere and it was a UFO, why would the government want to cover it up and say it was a weather balloon or something? Like the Roswell incident?
