Incredible Discovery of a Rogue Planet Growing Faster Than Any Planet Ever Seen
Huge discovery for planetary science

The mindset of contemporary science is centered around a top-down scenario. That is, the Universe is believed to expand into a very sparse state of matter, from which galaxies gradually condense through accretion. A similar top-down paradigm also persists in explanations the condensation of interstellar gas into planetesimals via accretion. However, observations of distant galaxies already present a challenge: the top-down scenario requires more time than seems available for Big Bang cosmology. Now, a similar issue has emerged with planet formation. This suggests we may need to consider a time-reversed, bottom-up scenario, in which dense fluctuations of dark matter and interstellar gas formed first and gradually condensed into heavier objects. Such a scenario would require a reconsideration of inflationary models, but it could explain phenomena like the Titius-Bode law observed during stellar system formation.
Totally unrelated, but have you tried pinging larger creators like asmongold? He is good at leveraging his youtube contacts to get issues like video glitch fixed for smaller creators than himself. Love your videos, if I can help get in contact with someone at youtube I will. You are large enough you should have a assigned rep/se/tech rep, etc assigned to you at this point. Stay wonderful Anton!
I don't seriously believe that Dark Matter is really just rogue planets and/or other normal mass that we simply haven't detected yet, but the thought amuses me.
Do you think rogue planets could gain enough mass to become most red dwarf, due to lack of outputting anything means the should be adding mass all the time. The reason planets around stars don't add mass all the time is due to them being around a star that due to its photon or light emission plus its magnetic fields prevents mass gain. But if the planet is solo it can gain enough mass to become a red dwarf.
