Geez, the whole idea's too radical...EVEN FOR ME!!!! Saturn's the birthplace of the planets?? Well, I guess it's got the most moons (hasn't it? = the record seems to shift back'n'forth between Jupiter & Saturn pretty often!)...

Man, the whole notion of "matter into energy" (and vice versa) makes pefect sense to me. A massive old star supernovas itself apart...the rubble gravitates back towards the spinning source...Inside, nuclear fusion erupts...the outside rubble starts spinning around in gravity-locked orbit...forming a disk...energy condenses to matter...matter congregates into larger clumps...planetoids form, getting bigger, struck by meteorites continually...until the meteorites are used up & we see what we see today.

All the meteorites (ie shrapnel) is used up. That's precisely why we exist. Because an asteroid hasn't wiped us out yet! (But it will!).

I bet if someone did a serious scientific study of meteoric impacts on Earth (or Moon...or whatever...) they'd trace a downward curve on their graphs - ie impacts have got less & less over the millennia. There was more "rubble" in the past. Now it's mostly impacted into planets...

Maybe life itself (DNA) got manufactured within our parent Star (along with all the HEAVY METALS = uranium, titanium, vanadium, mercury, etc etc)...

Maybe life is metallic??
