Well. In theory a blackhole could sling shot a planet towards our solar system at such an angle and speed that it eventually becomes trapped within the sun's gravity well and enters a stable orbit. The odds of that are about as good as finding alien life though...

So you are saying there is still a chance!!!!

This kills the earth. A super earth, meaning an earth plus more, would cause everything out of balance and we would push and pull on them. It could push us closer towards the sun or crash into the new super earth.

That sounds scary. I still remember seeing it in my dream and it was so awesome! I just recently saw star wars and seeing all the different planets with multiple moons probably made me think of it. Thanks for the reply.

If you replace the Sun with a black hole with exactly the same mass then everything would be the same (gravitationally) just very dark.
If you put 3 super-earths between Earth and Mars then they would interfere and all planets would probably become more and more elliptical and erratic.
There are many gravity simulators out there but this one is pretty accurate: http://www.astrograv.co.uk

Interesting. Ill check out the link. Would it still be pretty crazy and chaotic if it were just one planet the size of Earth?
