No, if you toss "Z-pinch" into that crazy salad, it still doesn't explain why fission of a star is preferable in term of potential energy.
I'm not "tossing" the z-pinch into the salad, this has been explanation for electric star theory since Juergen's came up with the theory.
I think the points in the OP make it clear why fissioning from a star is a better explanation of where planets come from than gravitational theory.

As for explaining planet formation, the astrophysicist wants to reexamine his 2005 research that raised the idea of hurricane-like storms in protoplanetary disks. The quiet eye or center of such storms could theoretically have provided a haven for dust to clump up and provide the seeds for planets, even with chaos swirling all around.
We investigate dust accumulation in elliptical vortices in a protoplanetary disk. We solved the equation of dust motion with gas drag, and obtain the dust surface density distribution in the vortex and mass enhancement factor in the planetesimal-forming region of the vortex. As a result, the mm-sized and cm-sized dust aggregates increase by a factor of 10 and 100, suggesting that the gravitational instability of dust layer in the vortices will occur.

Calling the argument crappy does not make it so. Its only crappy to you because you can't refute it.

Frankly, there is nothing to refute there. You don't provide a quantitative study, reviewed by others, that demonstrates feasibility of "fission" of stars. It's just rant upon rant.
Supernova 1987A (SN 1987A) is the closest supernova event since the invention of the telescope. It was first seen in February 1987 in the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud, which is a dwarf companion galaxy of the Milky Way and only 169000 light years from Earth. The Hubble images of the rings of SN 1987A are spectacular and unexpected. The ldquobeaded ringrdquo pattern of brightening is not well explained as an expanding spherical shock front into an earlier stellar ldquowind.rdquo The axial shape of SN 1987A is that of a planetary nebula. It seems that new concepts are required to explain supernovae and planetary nebulae. The new discipline of plasma cosmology provides a precise analog in the form of a Z-pinch plasma discharge. The phenomena match so accurately that the number of bright beads can be accounted for and their behavior predicted. If supernovae are a plasma discharge phenomenon, the theoretical conditions for forming neutron stars and other ldquosupercondensedrdquo objects are not fulfilled, and plasma concepts must be introduced to explain pulsar remnants of supernovae. If the bipolar Z-pinch pattern is introduced to explain supernovae and planetary nebulae, a new electrical theory of stars is required.

Explain why the suns temp is millions of degrees cooler than its atmosphere. Since you think the op is a einstein basher.
To account for the new retrograde exoplanets an alternative migration theory suggests that the proximity of hot Jupiters to their stars is not due to interactions with the dust disc at all, but to a slower evolution process involving a gravitational tug-of-war with more distant planetary or stellar companions over hundreds of millions of years. After these disturbances have bounced a giant exoplanet into a tilted and elongated orbit it would suffer tidal friction, losing energy every time it swung close to the star. It would eventually become parked in a near circular, but randomly tilted, orbit close to the star. “A dramatic side-effect of this process is that it would wipe out any other smaller Earth-like planet in these systems,” says Didier Queloz of Geneva Observatory.
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.

No.
The first article does not explain that dust does not accumulate into planets. The model in that article shows that gravitation alone is not sufficient to cause the accumulation. It has been shown that vorticity within the disk allows the initial accumulation of material to a level where gravity can take over. Not a new idea BTW.
The odds of what? That hot planets are easier to see than cold ones? The quote you provided gives you the answer.

Because of the electrical loads required, capacitor banks are used to create them in the lab.

Please, tell me the odds of this happening over and over and over again in so many star systems.

odds of that?
come on.
get real.
All of those planets didn't "migrate" there.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune are not "migrating" anywhere due to gravity.
They are in electrically stable orbits.

Yes I get that, but at a star or planet something similar must happen. Where does that pulse come from? Or what else causes this z-pinch?
