Stars Migrate Through Galaxy

[junglelord]

About half the stars in our celestial neighborhood may have traveled great distances through the Milky Way, according to a new study, which suggests our sun may be one of them.

Oh no! more mathematicians playing with equations.
Space.com also has a story on the same study:

I don't know how much significance one can attach to the conclusions reached in the study referenced in the article. That is, whether or not we can learn the path the Sun has taken in its' galactic journey from a model that is essentially "gravity only." It has been observed that stars in the spiral arms of galaxies do not conform to the [url2=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_rotation_problem]expected motions [/url2] that the laws of gravity demand, hence the need for an ad hoc assumption of a model saving and undetectable (other than through gravitational effect) Dark Matter. Which is assumed to be totally oblivious to EM radiation but, nevertheless still exerts a gravitational influence.
I have to ask questions of the scientists who made the study, are they even taking into consideration the fact that stars rotating around galactic centers don't typically care to obey the laws of gravity? are they factoring in the fantasy of Dark Matter's influence?
From what I can gather from the article these conclusions are based on a gravitational study (it's from mainstream so why wouldn't it be?) of our galactic neighborhood.
Since the initial assumption of the model (galactic rotation is solely gravity driven) is incorrect, it casts doubt on any conclusions that can be taken from the model.

But if the findings of Roškar and his colleagues are true, stars would not necessarily originate from the place they're observed, making the analysis of galactic regions based on the makeup of stars difficult. "It makes galactic archaeology, if you will, more complicated," he said.

I guess we can agree with that.

Say, Nick, all the evidence must eventually support the correct theory, so if evidence from gravitational observation correlates with the likelihood of migrating electric stars, this is welcome news indeed. The failure of gravity-only cosmology doesn't preclude the importance of gravitation based observations, eh?

Hello Webolife,

Agreed. The migrating stars are consistent with the EU. However, I was questioning whether the conclusion that the stars have migrated is based on calculations, or a model, that has assumptions that don't conform to galactic reality, so the model does not really tell us very much. They have not made observations of stellar migrations, it is only a model...equations and calculations from which they have arrived at some conclusions.
The Electric Universe teaches that stars are balls of electric plasma formed by a z pinch effect on galactic Birkeland currents often in forms of a chain, or, the result of fissioning into two usually unequal parts as a result of electrical stress. The HR (spectra) diagram represents the electrical state of a star. This is in sharp contrast to standard models.
So, if this study's initial assumption is gravity only for both galactic rotation and star formation, and that the HR diagram represents stellar evolution, then any conclusions must certainly be invalid in the context of the EU. If those conclusions are consistent with the EU then that has to be chalked up to coincidence since the path taken to reach those conclusions was invalid.
