The beginning of this article is a few years ago, when I wrote about the Little Ice Age of 1645-1715 and how magnetic fields in the Sun restrict the motion of charged particles. This was followed by a 2013 letter in Astronomy magazine that made me wonder why planets orbit in the Sun’s ecliptic plane. I thought about this for awhile and decided my Little Ice Age ideas could help answer the question. Then I read about a solar nebula near the Milky Way’s centre which has approx. 45 times the density of gas needed to initiate star formation but is essentially starless, producing no high-mass stars. After some thought, it occurred to me that the ideas concerning the ecliptic could be extended to explain this strange low-star-formation cloud. The original ideas and their extension embrace an idea of Albert Einstein’s - subatomic particles forming from gravitation. Continuing my astronomical interests, I read an article called “Why the universe has no center”. This inspired a couple of queries (and their possible answers) in my mind – “Can the speed of gravitational waves be both finite and infinite?” and “Can an infinite universe expand?”
