From Conclusions: "Conventional planetary forma-
tion models, such as core-accretion, do not pre-
dict Jovian type planets orbiting within 0.1AU
from their host star to be in highly misaligned or-
bits (Ohta et al. 2005; Winn et al. 2005). Yet
the WASP-79 planetary system joins a growing
list of known systems that are in significant spin-
orbit misalignment (as shown in the study by Al-
brecht et al. 2012b)."
Could nature give a more blatant hint that the conventional planetary formation models are seriously outdated?
How long will resistance persist to the idea of capture/ejection phenomena in stellar system formation/evolution?
If atoms do it, why not stars?

Because it's a fractal world.
