Veritasium did a video about Planet 9 [1] with one of the authors of this article, Konstantin Batygin. It also features David Jewitt with opposing arguments regarding the existence of Planet 9.

- prideout 5y agoIt sounds like the opposing arguments are: (1) if you want something to exist, you'll be biased in your observations, (2) we might simply be unaware of a bunch of Kuiper objects, and those unknown objects might be exerting their influence, and (3) we haven't actually seen P9 yet, visually, so skepticism is healthy until then.
- yamaneko 5y agoYes, thank you. It's been a while since I've watched the video, so calling it "opposing arguments" was a stretch. More like a healthy dose of skepticism.
