While I don’t agree with all of cyrek1’s ideas, I do think that in many of his posts the content of what he is trying to say doesn’t always come across clearly. In this case ‘collapse’ seems to have come across wrong. Nebulae may collapse back on themselves to form new suns and planet (and the sun collapse from the out the protosteller nebula, if you will), but the individual atoms themselves aren’t collapsing, which I think is his real point. In this case, the matter simply coalescences to form a new solar structure, cyrek1 is focusing more on subatomic structure.

My thought, cyrek1 can discount me if I misunderstood his post.
