I suggest going to space.com, slooh.com, nasa.gov, adlerplanetarium.org and other reputable sources. Not kooky Scientology sounding garbage.

Solium: there is such a thing as junk science, and it's very plentiful, but you're way off base here. Metryq is pointing to the work of careful, serious scientists who are exploring alternative explanations for phenomena whose observed behavior doesn't always support the mainstream theories.

No one doing honest work in science wants to be confused with the innumerable con artists out there, but on the other hand, if nobody ever challenges an accepted orthodoxy, then maybe group-think and "going along" has become more important than searching for the best answers.

What are these guy(s) credentials? Have they debated scientists and astrophysics with credentials? What was the response from the scientific community? Also this was posted by someone who believes the impact craters on the Moon are not impact craters. Or accepts any established science whatsoever.

It's a falsehood to call scientists group think. By nature they are not. It's a underhanded way of nullifying generally accepted ideas brought about through years of independent research and observations. Also lets not confuse real science with science programs. Here I agree there can be a difference between fact and fiction.

Yeah, there's ppl who will tell you there's no global warming, Earth is 6000 years old, we've been visited by aliens, Moon landings are fake, and Bigfoot is real and living in Canada. So forgive me for being suspicious.

The favored ice-skater-pulling-in-her-arms analogy points to another conundrum—there's too much angular momentum in the system (see Hannes Alfvén). Also, compressing gas heats up, further retarding any tendency to collapse.

I haven't studied any of this but the first thing that strikes me with what you wrote is: whatever heats up cools down. Compressing gas heats up, as you say, but then won't it eventually emit that heat as radiation and thereby lose the retardation of collapse?
