Talk:Supposed Dance of Stars Problem/@comment-67.189.83.6-20150915111224/@comment-25575488-20150915115245

(2 in discussion) No, not quite.

Only that they have a totally different origin.

Creation.

And coming in very different sizes.

However, you suppose they produce light and heat by fusion.

Saying a star is only a few miles across does not make fusion impossible (if it did you are wasting money at CERN), it only means the fusion cannot have started by self ignition after reaching a critical mass which OF COURSE must be greater than that of Jupiter.

Since, if the fusion started by self ignition, if a certain required mass of a body produces self ignition, either Jupiter is smaller than that mass, which is basically what you are saying, and that is why it didn't self ignite, or Jupiter is larger than it and would in such a case have self ignited.

My saying there are stars smaller than Jupiter simply means self ignition was not how stars started to shine. It does not rule out fusion as an angoing process.

Also, there is a question of time here, the smaller a body in fusion, the faster it must burn out. Well, 7200 years is a very much shorter time than millions or billions of years. Plus hydrogen can have been thicker between the stars at the beginning. Plus in a small universe, the redding that is due to interstellar matter (not redshift, which shifts all spectrum, but a cutting off of the bluest parts of it, a distinct thing) would need to be from a denser interstellar matter.

To produce the redding as observed, you either need light passing through a longer distance of less dense or a shorter distance through denser matter.

Coordinating the dance is no problem. I think angels are good dancers (if I may say so) with a very good choreographer, called God.
