>>14065654The universe is all the same age. (we can look back in time, but the universe is all the same age)
>>14067585>>14066394You're not groking the point. It obviously collected here at a certain mass per unit time when the solar system was forming for our Sun to have its metal content and the rocky bodies to be here. So why is that mass per unit time not still streaming through?
According to theory the older the stellar nursery, the more of these stellar remnants it collects. So as time goes by we should be seeing more of this stuff streaming through from supernovae, or else how would even older systems get their increased metal content?
First gen solar systems after BB: Only hydrogen/helium gas giants possible since there is nothing else.
First gen stars go boom: Metal shot out to coalesce around and in second gen stars.
Second gen stars go boom. More metal shot out to coalesce around and in third gen stars...
Where's all the materiel for the n+1 generation stars? It can't be "space is big" because the mass content of a solar system defines how much had to be collected in its solar system sized area.
Every <solar system formation> period we should see <mass of solar system metal> passing through, for theory demands that it had been passing through to be captured by the collapsing gas cloud, and theory says it still is passing through to collect in even greater quantities in younger stars.
