Because this issue comes up again & again I'd like to repeat the IMO *only* scientifically sound argument made for its existence, explained on this website:
http://www.binaryresearchinstitute.org
In short: seemingly the wobble of the earth's axis that lets the "polar point" go round in a circle very 24.000 years can also and *better* be epxlained by a wobble of the plane of the planetary orbits (ecliptic). It would look the same from our point of view.
This can be calculated to be originated by a binary twin, either a black hole or a brown dwarf (because anything inbetween would shine and we would see it).
the aforementioned group of scientists went to great length to explain it all on their website so I just present the gist of it in regards to the ongoing discussion.
The main point IMO is the calculated mean distance, depending on the mass of the object, 0,06 x sun for a brown dwarf (bd), 6 x sun for a black hole (bh). (the actual size of both could vary but these are the most likely values)
The distance would be either 800 au (bd) or 1500 au (bh), the nearest distance in a *very* eliptical orbit not under 100 au for a bd and double that for a bh.
The maximum inclination of said orbit is also relatively small with 1.5 degrees, so artificial pictures are wrong that show a much higher inclined orbit.
This should put arguments made for "close to Jupiter" orbits to rest :cool:
It also leaves no room for a "Planet X" unless this would be orbiting around the binary, however even if it had an extreme orbit, like pluto, it would not reach near the inner solar planets.
so, rest in peace and be advised that all youtube videos showing "planet X" or "the brown darf" are lens flares or other technical abberations.
the math, which is really only 10th grade highschool level, can be found here:
