And he has the grant money to prove it.

suggest that our solar system formed billions of years ago in a vast "bubble" of gas and dust around a giant, long-dead star

The solar system was spawned by Orson Welles???

BS. It was formed by excess carbon dioxide generated by thoughtless capitalist pigs.

I think I remember when that happened.

First, I did not read the article, there was a time I would have, I loved this stuff, but, after all of the global warming BS and the current “Professors study indicates...” which we have seen, I do not believe or trust these people any longer. Sad.

It amazes me how scientists just “know” this. /sarc

Here is another article that obviously requires my ability to translate science stuff into language that even an idiot like me can understand.

Once upon a time there was a star. Not just any star. A big star. I’m talking a star so big that even Joy Behar’s giant head could fit in it. Yeah. Huge.

This star had crumbs on it. I don’t know where the crumbs came from. Maybe it was eating a muffin. A blueberry muffin. And some crumbs fell off.

And then the solar winds picked up the crumbs. That makes the solar winds something like Merry Maids.

Then, a big bubble formed. Why? Who knows? Maybe the solar wind Merry Maids were using that bubble cleaner.

So, here’s how this works out.

The huge-headed Joy Behar was eating a blueberry muffin and she spilled some crumbs and the solar wind Merry Maids came with bubble cleaner stuff and made a big bubble that we now live in.

Thanks for posting, Civ.

Intriguing to think that Earth humans can possibly trace a large share of the atoms in our bodies to a specific hyper-dense star carcass floating some place nearby in our celestial neighborhood.

The nearest black holes are about 3000-5000 light years away, which given the age of the solar system at ~5 billion years, I suppose it’s possible.

Interesting idea that requires a lot more work though.

a huge ‘bubble’ of gas and dust with a dense ‘shell’

One must always keep in mind that “dense” is a relative
term and does not mean dense as a lay person would understand
it, the gas and dust particles might be miles or light
seconds apart...

Not talking to you, SunkenCiv, but this theory is stupid, like most of the recent ones have been.

1. They estimate the age of the universe to be only about 13.7 billion years old.
2. A star like the one they're talking talking about takes billions of years to form, and it lives for billions of years.
3. They also estimate that Sol is already several billions of years old.

Given the above, there's no way there's enough time for that hypothesis to have occurred.
