We might find that there are many different ways that planetary systems can form and change as the various bodies gravitational pulls inter-react. The wobble method may not be totally accurate if there are multiple bodies influencing the star being studied. Some assume our solar system is the normal way a system forms. There may not be a normal system as each forms under different conditions.

Or the measurements aren't as accurate as they are being presented.

Happens a lot with star formation too, certain stars were thought to be more massive than was possible, people took more measurements over the years and discovered the original size was a gross exaggeration.

Why is nobody talking about the new planet they discovered with the most distant orbit from a star? Planet is 11 times the size of Jupiter. That's insane.

I may be mistaken, but isn't the prevailing theory on gas giant planets that they are simply failed or not totally formed stars?
 
I wonder what China thinks about the moon now that they've seen the alien base there. Surely the aliens won't allow them to turn it into a Death Star. And if the Chinese do try to make that happen, what happens on earth? War?
 
Nova on PBS has been really stepping up there game lately. I just watched a really good documentary about Curiosity called the Mars Challenge. They had a really good one on ISON not too long ago.

A thread recently got me to thinking about time. What if time is like an electron. An electron is not in one spot in an atom, as electrons resonate, but are more so at one spot than another.

What if matter interacting with time gives off a meta physical resonance and the present time is like the spot in an electron atom where an electron is more so located.

Perhaps our brains only register, or perceive consciousness, at the point of the highest amount of resonance, which is the present. Maybe time doesn't go forward or backward, maybe time just rotates or stretches. The resonance doesn't start over at the beginning after a rotation, the resonance kind of just lays on top of each other, never being quite exactly the same. Just as an electron spins like....I......I just lost my train of thought.

If there is one place in the solar system I want to see explored, it's Europa.

The bottom of the ocean as well as deep within our own planet would probably yield wilder results, though exploring it would be more difficult than a probe to Europa...the inner portions of earth make solar system travel with robots pale in comparison in difficulty. Europa may or may not have a liquid ocean beneath the ice, the speculation of heat vents allowing life is totally speculative.
