Clearly it’s Bush’s fault.
The fact is, their theory of planetary formation, namely the “planetary nebula” hypothesis, has already been thoroughly compromised by other observations, but they don’t have any new theory to replace it, so not many scientists will admit as much.
Hopefully, as they keep finding data like this, they will eventually realize they can’t keep up the charade and start entertaining more feasible hypotheses.
It strikes me that the method by which planets are discovered requires on-plane display to the Earth. The odds of that being the case see low. Even if most solar systems are in a similar plane to the galaxy, we would be looking up or down at most of them.
Or Genesis 1:1
The trinity is not a pair nor symbiotic
If it was a Dyson sphere, we wouldn’t see it as the star would be inside it.
Seems like I remember reading years ago somewhere that OUR solar system is nearly 90 degrees to the galactic plane................
Yeah, the vacuum would have sucked it in....................8^)
“Strange new worlds”...
i know. The giant planet might contain a tiny star. The visible star being the “other” star in a binary Configuration.
Ahh—gotcha.
There is also the matter that outer planets have much longer orbits 30 to 100+ earth years) so we are only seeing inner planets right now.
“The odds of that being the case see low. Even if most solar systems are in a similar plane to the galaxy, we would be looking up or down at most of them.”
Well, yes, but the thing is, the distances between stars laterally are much greater than the differences in “altitude”, compared to the galactic disc. So, say you are on the first floor of a building, looking at something on the 20th story of another building, but that building is 20 miles away. For all intents and purposes, at that distance, the angle you are viewing is practically zero degrees.
When I look at the night sky the are an equal number of stars I all diections, if you ignore the very distant glow of the Milky Way.
“if you ignore the very distant glow of the Milky Way”
The Milky Way is actually closer to us than many of those lights you are looking at in the sky. We are IN the Milky Way galaxy, so all the stars near us are located along that general plane. Anything far above or below it is really far from us, too far for them to be detecting any exoplanets there I think.
That said, there are basically an equal number of stars in any direction. That’s actually an interesting fact that highlights a funny thing about the current cosmology. The scientists take it as a presupposition that there is no local “center of the universe” to speak of. However, when we look at the distribution of stars, and especially their red shifts/blue shifts (whether they are moving towards us or away from us), it is obvious that we are actually located at or very near to the center of the universe. The data proves this, but scientists don’t like to admit it because they are attached to their supposition, which reinforces the idea that there is “nothing special” about earth or our solar system.
The Milky way is 10,000 light years in depth. We are searching for exoplanets within 30,000 light years. Therefore, it is very much like trying to look into the windows of the 20 story building a block away.
“The Milky way is 10,000 light years in depth.”
Yes, but the vast majority of stars in the galaxy are located in the middle of that distribution.
Thanks Red Badger.

Yes, but the “typical hot jupiter” itself is not compatible with the planetary nebula hypothesis. The fact that we find them so common just makes it that much more difficult to explain them away.
