Incredible Footage Shows Planets Circling a Star Light-Years Away

Then what is your explanation as to what we're being shown here? It's fine that you don't want to take it at face value, but at least offer up your alternative explanation.

Good question. I think it is some kind of Hawking radiation. Since it doesn't match our conventional newtonian gravitational dynamics I would assume it is more relevant to Einstein's relativity theory. Hawking radiation therefore would be right in front of our eyes this whole time. Just like a rotating black hole is a possible solution to Einstein's field equations, I believe a rotating white hole could be responsible for a system like this, emitting light in a predictable orbital pattern.

This would also begin to resolve the very large discrepancy between Newtonian dynamics and observable phenomenon beyond our solar system. It seems silly in hindsight that we wouldn't apply Einstein's relativity theory to the observable universe, as it has been proven to be applicable with various empirical experiments.

Hawking radiation would appear around the object in all directions, and wouldn't imitate the appearance of 4 separate planets in four separate orbits. How could you get the maths to show Hawking radiation from a rotating white hole or whatever you propose to end up looking like 4 planets orbiting? I'd love to see those calculations.

You criticize the calculations of the scientists, so fine, where are your better calculations which match the observations better?

A rotating white hole would be like a conventional gravitational object except the opposite. It would be a central body with radiating hubs orbiting around the central point of emission. It would be like the anti-particle of a conventional solar system. These sorts of structures are necessary to exist if there are in fact black holes that exist. It allows a resolution for where all the information/energy goes when it's sucked into a black hole.

It's speculation, just like the speculation that it's a solar system. My reasoning that it's not a solar system is that no sun that big would have planets that close that would survive incineration.
