I´ve heard about "the Fifth Giant" before, but here is a new hypothesis: there was also a Sixth Giant! One of the additional ice giants / gas giants collided with Uranus, which (of course) explains that planet´s strangely tilted axis and apparently also the anomalously large amounts of ice on its moons. Both extra giants were then ejected from the solar system.
The most fascinating proposal is that the Fifth and Sixth Giants still exist...somewhere in the deep dark space in between the stars. I see the potential for some kind of science fiction movie here!
