U keeping it simple, how do these planets escape gravity's influence.

sorry watching FRINGE only skimmed article, Ok I didn't understand the more tech stuff.

Well of all the crazy places to look for worlds !

Maybe they should put away the telescopes and look for new worlds with super microscopes

Little tiny worlds would sure be cheaper / easier to reach

Kind of too far to get to another star. But, maybe one of these babes is near by?

Then we could create a colony there. But, only if Newt is elected.

And just what sort of life might thrive in icy cold darkness in an inter stellar void? Nothing I’d want to snuggle-up to, that’s for sure!

Actually one of my favorite end of the world scenarios is a rogue giant planet getting pulled into our solar system and changing the earth's orbit. The other thing that interested me is that with various large objects between the systems, a Star Trek like warp speed flight would sound more like a big splat after a few minutes.

Inability to commit is destroying the galaxy!!!

I remember reading “When Worlds Collide” and “After Worlds Collide” as a kid. The destruction of earth and jumping to the rogue planet was fascinating but required a serious suspension of belief.
Now we know that rogue planets DO exist!
