I don't think it refutes anything, its just an anomaly. Basically physics tells us that due to the size of the star a planet should have a near impossible probability of forming.
But here we are looking at one so it just adds more mystery to how things in the macro scale work.

From what I can father this is a fairly new thing, not an established type of show.

>gaslighting each other back and forth the entire time.
Is that not a prerequisite for like any main kdrama romance? Lol

I recently got into kdramas, a rare few of them are surprisingly good at delivering realistic life interactions and friend groups that you just don't see in western shows. Yet I never really noticed any kind of gay representation in the shows with the exception of one.
Decided to look it up and apparently South Korea has basically no rights for same sex couples or even gays in general. Good to hear that they are making a change.

Well i think he's asking about the possibility that ancestral biological structures might have been very similar. Like say ancient vacuoles maybe existing on their own and using RNA as a means of building other vacuoles. The RNA strands might have been extremely simplistic by today's biological standards.
Then you have other extremely simplistic structures that originated somewhere else, using RNA as means of doing extremely simple and menial tasks. Then these proliferate and eventually come into contact with each other and by coincidence form more complex relationships as single structures over time, kind of how the mitochondria is theorized to have become a part of the cell millions of years later.
When they combine maybe it would be difficult to determine that they were two distinct lines of life because they used the same means of relaying genetic information.

So looked it up a bit. This dude was doing his PhD while filming Star Trek Into Darkness and submitted his thesis the same year the movie released.

If I go by the coins in the pic which appear to be roughly the size of a quarter then I'd say each coin is about 1 ounce. So roughly $60k-$80k at face value but maybe different if a collector is allowed to buy it.

The fact that he is saying "can't" in this situation is pretty disingenuous. The probability of a planet of it's size forming around a star that small are just very small but not impossible.
This wouldn't even be something entirely new if you throw in all star types into the mix. We have discovered planets orbiting neutron stars before that likely formed after the star collapsed into its neutron dense state.
But again, it's not refuting anything. The probability is still very small that saying "it wouldn't" form isn't necessarily a lie but we shouldn't always deal in absolutes when it comes to this stuff.
