http://www.space.com/11699-rogue-alien-planets-milky-common.html It appears that they might be looking for a new theory on planet formation. Did I ever mention the Earth came from the Sun, like all the planets in our solar system did? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Mass evolves to space!
Yeah, we've been through this before. The Earth formed from the accretion disk of the Sun while the solar system was still quite nebulous. If you consider the entire solar system, all the way out to the heliopause, to be the Sun then yes, the Earth came from the Sun. If you mean that the Sun formed and then a rocky mass rose out of it's surface and migrated out to a distance of 96 million miles then you're wrong. The latter is what someone might naturally think you are saying but previous discussion with you seemed to conclude that you mean that former. This is a point I commented to you before, that you're being extremely poor in explaining yourself because you're using a definition of 'Sun' which you need to explain in order for people to see what it is you're claiming. Since you've continued to make the same poorly explained claim, even after this has been pointed out, you're trolling.
I wonder if there are so many of these "rogue" planets as it now seems, that if this may explain the formation of ice giants in our outer solar system. Is it possible that the sun had some extra material to capture in the early solar system?
Move the thread This, and it would seem all of Motor Daddy's thread should be moved to pseudoscience. This unsubstantiated drivel has no place in the physics and math section!
The article about free floating planets is talking about a new discovery. Which means there could very much be other processes involved in planet formation which fall outside the mainstream ideas of planet formation. This new discovery has only detected gas giants as free floaters. There's much speculation that there is also many free floating rocky worlds but not yet discovered because of there small size. I really hate it when people take speculation as fact. If there are only a few free floating rocky worlds, what would that imply? Is it also possible that some gas giants could have formed the same way stars do? But they ran out of material to get big enough to became a star? I'm not saying the current theory is wrong, but it may not be the whole story.
