To us accretionist’s the concept of a loose planet is heresy.

All planets are accreted.

The concept of a Fluke (loose) planet is however interesting

Based on her background, I would say it was more like a planet of the loose women!

Yes, the concept of a Fluke planet is interesting. The theoretical danger of such “loose” planets cannot be overestimated. Are these Fluke planets given free contraceptives to keep them from multiplying? Or would that only reward these loose planets?

Why hasn't the asteroid belt accreted into a planet yet? I've been puzzling over that since I was a kid.

Not having studied it (at all), my working theory is that it once was a planet that was busted up by impact. The accretion process should be ongoing now.
