Conclusions
Beats me!
The two best alternatives are:
- The Sun formed in a binary system.
- But why did things grow in the KB?
- Will not produce bimodal inclination distribution (I think).
- A very large, eccentric, inclined planet excited the Kuiper belt
- But, it needs to stay around longer then simulations thus far predict.
