Yall none science types are starting to piss me off with you “wobble” arguments. First the article is not about our ability to detect small earth like planets. Everyone knows we can’t do that yet. The article is about the MODEL used to explain how solar systems form. It seems that the MODEL might be incorrect, and if the MODEL is incorrect THEN maybe solar system like ours are rarer then we used to think.
Jezzz.
Erm, read the article again. It is being proposed that the model might be incorrect because we haven't found any stable terrestrial planetary systems yet. My point was that we haven't found any stable terrestrial planetary systems because our detection methodology favors the location of elliptical gas giants. They are basing their suppositions about the formation of planetary systems on flawed and heavily biased data.
Nothing found to date invalidates the standard model for planetary formation, or even throws it into any kind of serious question.
