Here is a very interesting and complete presentation. I've posted it because it addresses various underlying themes that are going through the forums- even though I don't necessarily agree with some of what's said, I found it very satisfying, and urge whoever watches it to watch the whole thing- please don't be put off with some aspect of it- you'll be glad you saw all of it, all the way through the end.

Around 25:13 - 25:33 he claims that every solar system is at least a binary
system. I found two sources which doesn't really agree with him:

"Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope has found that planetary systems are as
common around double stars as they are around single stars, like our own Sun." here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6506081.stm)

"It is estimated that approximately 1/3 of the star systems in the Milky Way
are binary or multiple, with the remaining 2/3 consisting of single stars." and here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_stars)

His ideas of the creation of the Moon (30 minutes into the video) are also unusual
compared to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_creation#Theia).

At 35:08 -35:24 he talks about the size of "The Brown Dwarf" star, which
is not in accordance to estimates given in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_dwarf). His size would ignite.

Like I said before, I disagree with many of his points-but it's interesting nonetheless, and I liked the last part (3/4 of the way through) the most.
