Again, I cannot argue your views.

Well, it is not nearly as bad as all the Kook to Kookers (Coast to Coast AM) that are convinced that ET is zipping around all over Earth.
OK, so how is hydrogen inside a bar different from ordinary hydrogen?
If this star is 375 light-years away, the light they are analyzing left the star about the time Harvard College was founded.
Yup, sounds impossible, that system should be on the edge of the visible universe if I'm thinking about it right.
The article explains it is thought the star is a remnant of an ancient galaxy that collided with our own galazy billions of years ago.
Wow!, Wow, and Wow!!
So, some planets are dense in metals, and others are not: 375 light years away; a Carl Sagan “billions of years ago.”
I guess that will make it very difficult for the super heads to explain Earth, a metallic planet: vs. with Jupitor or Neptune, gaseous planets. Here, in our own sun system. Who woulda thunk?
How much grant money is funneled to these folk???

They charge more for it...
“OK, so how is hydrogen inside a bar different from ordinary hydrogen?”
‘They charge more for it...’
Not on ladies night...

I doubt there will be any.
From what i have gathered in the past NOTHING 375 light years away can be 13 Billion years old.
13 Billion years ago this local space did not exist.
“It says it was formed somewhere else and this galaxy picked it up.”
This star system wasn’t dragged 13 BILLION light years.
or maybe it was........
Astronomers have shoestring bugets.. In 2005 NASA had a budget of $16.2 billion, this includes not only the human spaceflight division, but also other engineering projects, and science funded by NASA. The total federal spending budget in 2005 was on the order of $2 trillion ($2000 billion), making the NASA share 0.8% of the budget. By comparison roughly 19% of the budget was spent on the Military, 21% on Social Security and 8% went to paying interest on the national debt.

I was thinking more of a globular cluster where this star originated from and then ejected.Globular clusters are generally composed of hundreds of thousands of low-metal, old stars. The type of stars found in a globular cluster are similar to those in the bulge of a spiral galaxy but confined to a volume of only a few million cubic parsecs. They are free of gas and dust and it is presumed that all of the gas and dust was long ago turned into stars.
Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar.
One says, “I've lost my electron.”
The other says, “Are you sure?”
The first replies, “Yes, I'm positive...”
In physics, a bar is equivalent to 10 newtons, per square centimeter.This is the pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere at sea level
