Don't get uppity and antagonizing.

i really have no idea why these conversations have gone south

lol? What are you loling at me for.

this: Plus extra-dimensional intelligences.

I assumed you were being funny. Apologies if you were being serious.

I've spent a lot of time reading papers on planetary formation, so i'm coming from an informed place. Have you? because there are lots of very serious analyses of proposed aggregation methods out there. Also lots of papers comparing KEPLER observations to theory predictions, and lots of anomalies.

If you are similarly informed, then we can get into the meat of it, but if you are just hypothesising on the fly, then maybe there's no point.

It looks like ridicule directed at me, then you go on replying to me about dust aggregation when I write there is no such thing as pure dust aggregation.

But no, I am not as well-read as you on the topic.

It looks like ridicule directed at me,

was the 'alien intelligence' part meant to be funny? thats what I loled at. you can continue to perpetuate the hard feelings even though I've said why i used 'lol', but that's not productive. Maybe just answer the question. Was it supposed to be funny?

also, 'no such thing as pure dust aggregation' is fine. As I said, the theory of dust aggregation fails until you introduce vorticies. Alien Intelligences aside. Nothing else, no other theory, produces massive planets that fit solar system and kepler extra-solar observations.

Unless you can point me to a paper that shows otherwise?

Of course not. Once I wrote "it's never just dust aggregation" I thought it was amply clear where I stand?

obviously it wasn't clear, since you got upset at my response which I thought was appropriate to the clear statement you made about aliens....
