    Of course there is no discussion regarding whether this
    is an attempt by a Zeus (Jupiter) brain to rip off knowledge
    from a Chronos (Neutronium) brain... The elaborate story points
    out the lengths that astronomers will extend their theories to
    so long as the universe can remain "dead".

    Someone who enjoys probability theory ought to compute the
    odds that the story of this planet is indeed a "reasonable"
    explanation.
