Darwin in the Sky?

Prof. Lin has this insight (note below from the NYT):

"In Dr. Lin’s view, planetary evolution is a kind of Darwinian affair,
as embryonic planets compete to enlarge themselves with heavy metal “food” from the disk, while struggling not to be consumed by a sibling or pulled into the mother star."


Does it support my view of a Generalized Selection Principle?

You bet, it does!
