Maybeso Pikachu_Dad, but science in its infancy is infant science. A lot is presumed about a Universe that we don't know much about.

I'll bet you my bottom donut that the "planets" that revolve around red giants at a distance of three million miles are revolving around an observational error rather than on empirical reality.

Time will tell, wanna bet?

Nope. Not on this claim. This is by a European group. I'll wait for our scientists.

I agree that the science is in its infancy and that there will be many false and mistaken claims early on.

However, the end result will that we will find a lot of earth like planets.

Care to back this up with hard data?

FYI it's a red dwarf, not a red giant.
