Massive Exoplanet Discovered, Challenges Established Planet Formation Theories 129
sfcrazy writes "A giant exoplanet that is in the most distant orbit ever seen around its host star, has been recently discovered. Dubbed HD 106906 b, the newly discovered planet is relatively young (13 million years old, compare this to our 4.5 billion years old Earth) and bigger than any other planet discovered till date. It is 11 times the size of Jupiter, and that's what makes it a most singular discovery."

Guesswork. They take what they think they know and use it to make a guess that will change every time they find out what they thought they knew was wrong. It's fun to follow but don't put too much faith in it.

Too bad your comment doesn't.
Seriously, the religion-bashing knee-jerk comments are garbage. Too bad the mods don't have the common sense to just mod you as off topic or over rated and maybe you'd be forced to make an actual intelligent contribution to the conversation to maintain a good karma.
If you're only contribution to science is shouting down theists than you're not doing much better than the theists shouting down science. Go pick up a book and learn a little science and have something more than a lame warn-out old crutch to hold you up in these kinds of conversations.
