How is this possible from a distance, where Planet X has scarcely moved past the mid-point where it lingers before making its passage? The some 9 Sun-Pluto distances where it spends most of its time is approximately where it rides today, yet slowing has started. The answer is that the magnetic field is BROAD in scope, far larger than mankind imagines when they describe magnetic fields of planets or the Sun. Thus, being within the Sun's field, Planet X does indeed influence the Earth, even from that distance. Thus, the approach of Planet X has changed the magnetic equilibrium of the Earth, so that a few seconds of slowing are occurring, per year, even now. In the scheme of things, not that much, but this will increase to minutes, then hours, then days as the shift approaches. Finally, resulting in a stoppage within a day as we have mentioned, a week prior to the shift. Mankind is not oriented with how fast objects can travel in space. They are held to the concept of speed on the surface of Earth, where friction is a factor. When traveling on the surface, there is drag from the atmosphere or from water, so there is a finite speed attainable. When leaving the surface, an object is fighting gravity, a struggle. And when trying to get to Mars or the other planets, for a peek, a probe is propelled by jets and a limited amount of fuel, so does not attain speed. But in all these cases there is either 1 - friction, 2 - drag, or 3 - lack of impetus. Mankind sees the planets floating about in their orbits and think this the speed that planets attain. But space does not offer friction or drag, so this element is utterly missing. And when there are large objects gravitationally attracted to each other, no jets or fuel supplies need be a limiting factor. Thus, when approaching the Sun, in a direct line that has NOT had the Repulsion Force invoked as yet, Planet X has NO BRAKES. How fast is fast? During the passage, it has NOT achieved the maximum speed that such a traveling world might. It has just STARTED to step on the gas. Humans have a rough estimate of the attraction force, but don't deal with speed. This is where the concept is NEW to mankind.
