Default Re: Neptune and Uranus. Are they really there?

AGN (or anyone else),

Are you aware of any models that have been run on supercomputers that simulate the formation of the solar system, based on the increased data we now have as compared to, say, 10 years ago? I checked the Cray and NCSA sites and didn't find anything indicating such a study.

It would seem that with the additional amount of knowledge we have of the Solar System as well as what we now know about extra-Solar systems, we might be able to do some meaningful and informative planet formation simulations.
