These findings, which appear in two studies in Astronomy & Astrophysics, reinforce the conclusion that similar architectures are most common and suggest that ordered systems like our own are the rarest. “In a few years, I believe, we’ll have something like a ‘standard model’ of planetary formation,” Mishra says. “And how different architectures of planetary systems emerge is a question that any standard model will have to answer.”
We Live in the Rarest Type of Planetary System
Another example of how extraordinarily rare life is likely to be. The number of things that had to go right to get us here just keep mounting. That we are willing to throw it all away is extraordinarily stupid.
They are a little ahead of themselves on the data for this but the singularity pattern is growing.
