Now Glitch I almost got it! Good explanation! I think I got the info I needed. Thank you. Wondercosmos out.

Thanks GloomyGerman, that gave me something to ask. If the nebula is very large that does not implies that the density will be large. Now, if for some reason the WHOLE nebula starts contracting at once I see your explanation valid. On the other hand, if the condensation starts at the center and...

Yes, Vanadium 50, I know but the point is, once the nuclear explosion happens the rest of the cloud is blown away stopping the growth. Why then the gas is not blown away?

I just read something about the theory of stars formation that left me puzzled. I am easily puzzled so please bear with me.

Nugatory, I think I understand your answer. Of course! Thank you. DaleSpam, great article. It shows complexities I did not know. Thanks.

Leaving Earth at constant acceleration will make time on board go slower. Acceleration will take the ship closer and closer to c Question is: How long will acceleration act on the ship? The time as measured on Earth or on the ship? The final v will be greatly different. Of course, given enough...
