"One is the loneliest number ..."

For more than 200 years, astronomers thought that most of the stars in our galaxy had stellar companions

During that 200 years it "was scientific, irrefutable fact", once it is wrong it is "astronomers thought". This is why I don't hand over my life to the limits of scientific knowledge being passed off as irrefutable.

But a new study suggests the bulk of them are born alone and never have stellar company.

I would think that stars form wherever, then wander toward each other to form multi-star systems. Same goes for planetary systems. :')

I'm sensing discrimination against same magnitude steller binaries. I'm calling the ACLU (Astronomical Civil Liberties Union).

Oh, I dunno. Factor in Madonna and it's pretty much the entire galaxy.

"For more than 200 years, Darwinists thought that man evolved....". I guess anyone can make a mistake.

Or single again.... :o)

[Tanniker Smith]

Stars are single? Didn't I just read that some star or other is marrying some other star he dallied and had a baby with a year ago?

Or are they talking about the divorced stars as if they're single?

There are many who believe that life here began out there . . .
