Here is one fact the author and the supporters of a binaries system
never mention. If the binary companion was a black hole, the jets of
material and the surrounding disks of infalling material would be
very noticeable in just about any telescopes of binoculars, if not
the
second brightest object in the sky...

If there was a black hole orbiting our sun, it would be the second
brightest x-ray object in out sky, the jets from of in-falling matter
being ejected from the disc would make a comet pale in comparison,
and it would be so powerful it would over power micro wave radios.

Good grief, stop and think for just one second. No wonder you are one
of the butts of AUK's jokes.

I figured that. That is why I asked if there could be a "dead" one in
orbit with the sun. If there is nothing falling into it, there would
be no jets, nothing. Just a gravity well outside of the solar system
changing orbits and nothing else. Once all the matter around the
black hole is "eaten" there would be nothing for it turn into x-rays.

I'm not an astronomer. I know there is nothing around our sun that is
big enough to be called a companion star that is visible. The only
thing that I know of that would be invisible and would have the effect
of a star is a dead black hole. If there is no chance of one being
anywhere near the sun (which appears to be the fact) then there is no
companion to the sun and this study is bull. That's all I wanted to
know.

There's no such thing as a "dead black hole", you drooling moron. If
it has the mass, it has the gravity. If it has the gravity, it has
random crap (if only stray hydrogen atoms) falling into it. If it has
stuff falling into it, it's emitting x-rays.
