On the Possibility of Discovering Exoplanets within our Solar System

It has previously been suggested that the rate of exoplanet discovery, doubling roughly every 39 months, is indicative of a runaway increase in the number of exoplanets in our galaxy. In this paper, we posit that - due to the finite nature of space in the milky way - it will become increasingly like...

description It has previously been suggested that the rate of exoplanet discovery, doubling roughly every 39 months, is indicative of a runaway increase in the number of exoplanets in our galaxy. In this paper, we posit that - due to the finite nature of space in the milky way - it will become increasingly likely that one of these exoplanets will be found within our solar system. We calculate the odds of this occurring pass 50\% on Friday 9th December 2146. We go on to suggest novel methods for influencing where this exoplanet may be discovered, note possible drawbacks of the discovery, and finally explore how the previously-hypothesized `exoplanet singularity' (both figurative and literal) could be averted.
