GordonG 2 Oct 1:52pm, 2 Oct 2023 10,038 posts	0 GordonG I'm no expert (! x a million) but the idea of two planets being thrown out of a star's system and then sticking together as they drift through space, and it happening multiple times, seems unlikely to me.
HappyG(rrr) 2 Oct 1:56pm, 2 Oct 2023 47,915 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) The idea of a whole universe springing from a single lump of nothing into time and space and all the billions of stars and planets around us is unlikely too though, innit? I know what you mean though - but forming as binaries from nothing seems unlikely too. So does collision from another body to form two things (like earth and moon) but not orbiting a star etc. all insufficient explanations. Weird and wonderful! G
