    I have no idea why this talk of the formation of planets and the kuiper belt, gives me a strange desire to see a project of just start throwing all the KBO's at each other to form a new planet. I wonder just how possible/impossible that would be. Eventually you'd get enough of a mass that it would start attracting the other smaller objects into itself.
    You wouldn't really have to launch objects hard, just nudge them into the right direction.

      @@MrGrumblier That only really would apply if the the target object/ objects were already in a highly elliptical orbit that brought them in close enough to the outer giants. Keep in mind the belt is way farther out than we might like to think of it.
      The kuiper belt and oort cloud have substantial objects several times the distance from Neptune than neptune even has to the sun.
      Neptune probably wouldn't be that big of a factor, or at least on any mortal timescale.

    These repetitive images of countless rocks flying very near each other are highly misleading. If you were to sit in any random KBO without a binary companion observing the sky, you would unlikely be able to even see any other KBO due to the enourmous distances between objects. The visible sky would be only your own rock, a very distant sun, the still much more distant stars and a vast empty void between all of those.

    Why not call the "Kuiper belt" the Edgeworth comets torus? there's a gap in the two tori ("toruses") called Kuiper cliff in the video, as far as computational discovery goes (yet), so would there be an object in between? in this "documentary" there lacks a lot of content, from comparisons or not. The maker of this video must have dealt with some restrictions forcing "him" to avoid the larger part of data... like the Grand Tack or planet migration in general. Or as the question if the hills cloud (you don't know) would be pulled inward due to the missing of "Nemesis", the sun's twin or silbling (feeding Jupiter). For being published in mid-2024 there would have been a lot of data (re)sources to optimize this elongated "info-tainment" that "viewers want to see in this way". Telling "us" why some told observations would be so deeply as-t(r)on-ishing. Such video stuff "is all about" not (being able to?) tell an american truth (of "must-know facts") to viewers in countries foreign to the "U.S.", i'd add. Or did i mis-lead me into Kindergarten here?
