At the time Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, other smaller planetary bodies were also growing. One of these hit earth late in Earth's growth process, blowing out rocky debris. A fraction of that debris went into orbit around the Earth and aggregated into the moon.
Gas-rich planets such as Jupiter and Saturn grew from a disk of dust and gas which eventually crumpled like a piece of paper under its own gravitational instability -- or so one theory goes.
Now a computer simulation suggests that this idea falls apart under the turbulent forces within early protoplanetary systems.
The old, favored theory relies on the protoplanetary dust disk becoming denser and thinner until it reaches a tipping point, where it becomes gravitationally unstable and collapses into kilometer-sized building blocks that form the basis for gas giants. But 3D modeling has shown for the first time that turbulence prevents the dust from settling into the dense disk necessary for gravitational instability to work
Six exoplanets out of twenty-seven were found to be orbiting in the opposite direction to the rotation of their host star — the exact reverse of what is seen in our own Solar System. The team announced the discovery of nine new planets orbiting other stars, and combined their results with earlier observations. Besides the surprising abundance of retrograde orbits, the astronomers also found that more than half of all the so-called "hot Jupiters" in their survey have orbits that are misaligned with the rotation axis of their parent stars.
...
Hot Jupiters are planets orbiting other stars that have masses similar to or greater than Jupiter, but which orbit their parent stars much more closely.
Planets are thought to form in the disc of gas and dust encircling a young star, and since this proto-planetary disc rotates in the same direction as the star itself, it was expected that planets that form from the disc would all orbit in more or less the same plane, and that they would move along their orbits in the same direction as the star’s rotation.
…Like many alien worlds found after it, 51 Pegasi B was a "hot Jupiter," a gas giant as close or closer to its star than Mercury is to our sun, unlike "cold Jupiters" that orbit farther away such as Saturn or, naturally, Jupiter.
Of the 429 exoplanets discovered to date, 89 have been hot Jupiters, likely because their large size and proximity to their stars makes them easier to spot by current techniques.

Easy on the Einstein bashing.
Besides everyone knows the moon is made out of green cheese.

Absolutely nothing. The OP author has a fetish with manifests itself in numerous threads he penned, with titles like "All science is a Lie" etc. He bashes Einstein in all of these virtually identical threads. Dr.Freud would have had a field day with a patient like that.

The thing is, the electric universe theory is just that--a theory.
It's not a law. There are thousands of theories, they cannot all be right.

And how do electric forces work? What's the mechanism?

One thing is for certain, Einstein's general relativity isn't going to give you an answer to that question.
If you want to know how electric forces work, there was a guy named Maxwell that pretty much summed up the bulk of what we know about them today.
they are electrically ejected from stars.

The thing that interests me the MOST in all your threads isn't the science.
It is your obsession with Einstein. Where does this stem from? Do you then agree with all other mathemeticians, physicists, cosmologists, etc.?
Why only single out ONE?
It says more about you than the theories.

No explanation of how the forces work, how the electric fields are generated, where the electric current comes from. I do like questioning popular theories, but any form of theorizing or open debate is immediately destroyed by something I would almost call a religion, and thats a shame.

I agree with your observation about mnemeth1. I had similar thoughts when I posted this:

as well as numerous threads about Bob Lazar and John Lear. It's pure psychology, a defensive reaction of somebody who's not equipped to absorb scientific knowledge which is indeed devilishly difficult.
