YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAfter discovering thousands of planetary systems orbiting other stars, we are finally at a point where we can start looking at the patterns we see to hopefully understand how they formed. But hold the phone - because maybe the configurations we see are nothing but purely random. Dynamical evolution tends to disorder initially pristine systems, so do planets even still remember how they formed? Is the ordered nature of the Solar System typical or rare? This week we dive into these questions by discussing a new research paper by Prof Kipping on the topic.
