We obviously can't test the origin or stars, and I don't think we've ever observed a star being born (have we?). Same with the origin of planets - it would take probably a billion or so years to watch space debris coalesce under its own gravity to form planets; we can't very well perform controlled laboratory experiments on it either.

So is our current model of the formation of solar systems also "not even a hypothesis"? I am so confusedUndecided

We observe all the different stages of star formation. We also can create simulations in computers programmed only with laws of physics which produce results that support the theory.

Ok, stars are good then Smile

What about planet formation? Any ideas on how that's observed?
