The joy about a brown dwarf companion is that--as we have seen in the news
recently--you can have lots and lots of planets!

Hello Michel, Phil, Bernd, Louis, List,
I was under the impression that recent thinking and evidence show that a
binary star system could not have accompanying planets. In fact, we aren't
even looking for planets around binary stars, only single star systems like
our own. (Naturally, I forgot
what the reasons and evidence are for why this is now thought to be the
case.)
At any rate, the result of this thinking and evidence would either: 1.
preclude any such companion star for Earth's Sun, or, 2. if there is a
companion star,
then the current thinking and interpretation of data is incorrect.
The third option would be that we don't actually exist. We just think we
do, due to some massive etheral ego created by a severe anomaly in the
electro/magnetic realm. What??
Cheers,
Julia
