6. There are several oddities in our system that this might explain

Why is Uranus on its side? Why does Pluto have such an odd orbit? What screwed up the rotational period of Venus? How did Sedna form so far out? Why did the water vanish from Mars 4 billion years ago? Why did the first life appear on Earth about the same time?

An intense gravitational disruption caused by a close pass with another star could explain these mysteries, and a few more.
