If there IS something going on then we will all get to see it tomorrow morning. Why so defensive if this is what you believe? Why am I not allowed to question if these theories match observations in any way? Jupiter is way too small to become a star; if it were going to it would have done so a long time ago. Any astronomer will tell you the same. I'm trying to be fair here by actually doing the footwork and going out to see if Jupiter has changed in nature since the last time I observed it.

There's no theory that Jupiter ignited. Theory requires science. It's just a SWAG that it ignited.

Post those pictures and the 'Ignited Jupiter' theory is a dead horse. Let's see who wishes to flog it after that!

-it's the plutonium aspect of this that you're missing.
we're putting SOME actual ... phenomenon into this.
also.. i love how all humans know 100% of all probability and understanding of everything in the universe.
