Star Births? Stellar Evolution? 3

Stars are found where astronomers agree they could not evolve, near
the center of our galaxy. These short-lived stars orbit a massive
black hole, where gravity is so strong that gas and dust clouds could
never evolve into a star. Instead, the black hole's massive gravity
would pull such clouds (supposedly evolving stars) apart. (e).

Nor could stars have evolved in globular clusters, where up to a
million stars occupy a relatively small volume of space. Wind and
radiation pressure from the first star in the cluster to evolve would
have blown away most of the gas needed to form subsequent stars in the
cluster (f). In other words, if stars evolved, we should not see
globular clusters, yet our galaxy has about 200 globular clusters. For
so many stars to be packed so tightly together requires that they all
came into existence at about the same time.

e. "In fact, given our current understanding of how stars form and
the properties of the galactic center, it's [stellar evolution near
the galactic center is] not allowed to happen." Andrea M. Gaze, as
quoted by Ron Cowen, "Mystery in the Middle," Science News, Vol. 163,
21 June 2003, p. 394.

"For example, no one can explain how the stars-which are 15 times
heftier than our sun-got there [near the center of our galaxy].
According to most astronomical models, they are too big to have formed
in the chaos of the galactic center but appear to be too young to have
moved there from farther out." Robert Irion, "The Milky Way's Dark,
Starving Pit," Science, Vol. 300, 30 May 2003, p. 1356.

"The bizarre question of the hour is what the young stars are doing
there at all. Clouds of gas need a calm and cold setting to collapse
into a ball dense enough to ignite nuclear fusion. Yet gravitational
tidal forces-from the black hole and from stars in the galaxy's nucleus
-make the galactic center the antithesis of such a [stellar]
nursery." Ibid., p. 1357.

"Ironically, stars such as these have no business being so close to a
black hole ... there is no plausible explanation of how and why the
hot, young stars near the centre of the Milky Way and Andromeda got
there." Fulvio Melia, "Odd Company," Nature, Vol. 437, 20 October
2005, p. 1105.

f. "Little is known about the origins of globular clusters, which
contain hundreds of thousands of stars in a volume only a few light
years across. Radiation pressure and winds from luminous young stars
should disperse the star-forming gas and disrupt the formation of the
cluster." J. L. Turner et al., "An Extragalactic Supernebula,"
Nature, Vol. 423, 5 June 2003, p. 621.

Theories for the Evolution of the Solar System and Universe Are
Unscientific and Hopelessly Inadequate
