It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.

Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none.
- Thomas Kuhn

Where is the original dust cloud? Has it been so neatly shaped by gravity that nothing lays outside of the hourglass?

Re: Australian astronomers observe star formation at a z pinch
Considering that magnetic fields are NOT frozen into cosmic plasma and magnetism is 39 orders of magnitude greater than gravity, the above statement is rather juvenile."Magnetic fields are supposed to be weak and unimportant to the birth process for massive stars,"
What you have is not a boiling disc but a Plasma Torus surrounding a classic Plasma Z-Pinch (the hourglass shape).
