Hi Neal. Welcome to BAUT.
Love your art/animation work. I can see you think well.
I'm into high speed video. Here are some movies I have taken. WMV is a terrible format but its what they wanted.

Keep going. I think there is enough to say this might be worth investigating.
I can come up with few ways to grow a planet.
You just have to realize that the more science you know the more you realize we dont know ANYTHING.
I'm amazed at people who think they have it figured out.
The issue is coming up with an experimental prediction.
If you can do that then your onto something.
