snowflakeuniverse: If the expansion of space includes matter itself, as proposed by the Uniform expansion of space theory, (www.uniformexpanson.com) then Jupiter actually began life as a red dwarf star. The residual heat and nuclear products found with in the core of the planet is what is proposed to be the source of energy for Jupiter’s atmosphere.

Red dwarfs have lifespans up to trillions of years according to currently modeling. Fusion in red dwarfs is much more efficient than in larger O-class stars which have main sequence (hydrogen burning phase) lifespans on the order of a few million years.
If Jupiter began its life as a red dwarf (M-class star) it would still be burning as a red dwarf.

Asserting that Jupiter could have almost been a star is an outrageous proposal; Jupiter has nowhere near enough mass to even come close to becoming a star. The smallest possible star is a red dwarf star, which is believed to have a mass equivalent to 1/4 to 1/10 th the volume of our sun. Jupiter would need to be over 100 times more massive than it is now to have 1/10 th the mass of our sun.

But you're saying that it began its life as a red dwarf. Since its much smaller than red dwarfs today, where do you propose the missing mass has gone?

If Jupiter formed when the Universe was 1 billion years old, 5.5 billion years ago in a 6.5 billion year old universe, we have the following proposed increased gravitational effect. (I know that 6.5 is no where near what is accepted as the age of the universe, but in the proposed model the expansion was faster in the past, which decreases the age of the universe from the presently accepted linear relationship).

Ok, but does your model account for the measured ages of the oldest stars? (Typically 12-13 billion years). Also, the solar system is dated at 4.57 billion years - which is younger than your proposed age for Jupiter. Are you saying that Jupiter is older than the solar system, or that the age of the solar system is wrong.
