## Key points

- J.J. Charfman Jr., M.M.M., J. Dietrich, N.T. Schragal, and A.M. Avsar present a solution to longstanding problems in astrophysics that have plagued astronomers and cosmologists for over a century.
- The natural behaviors of an overwhelmingly large population of exoplanets throughout the universe can explain galaxy formation, dark matter, and the tension in the expansion of the universe.
- Planetary science must be the basis for all science since planets are ubiquitous and can answer every current question posed by astronomers.
- All current funding for science should be reserved for (exo)planetary science.
- There is overwhelming evidence for the existence of exoplanets outside our solar system - estimates predict upwards of one hundred thousand free-floating planets in our galaxy alone.

## Summary

In their paper "On The Planetary Theory of Everything," J.J. Charfman Jr., M.M.M., J. Dietrich, N.T. Schragal, and A.M. Avsar present a solution to longstanding problems in astrophysics that have plagued astronomers and cosmologists for over a century. They argue that the natural behaviors of an overwhelmingly large population of exoplanets throughout the universe can explain galaxy formation, dark matter, and the tension in the expansion of the universe. While some ideas have been proposed before, the authors commend those who are revolutionizing our understanding of astrophysics by proposing new solutions to these long-standing issues. The authors assert that since planets are clearly ubiquitous and can answer every current question posed by astronomers, planetary science must be the basis for all science; therefore they suggest that all current funding for science should be reserved for (exo)planetary science and welcome all astronomers and other scientists to join them in this endeavor. Furthermore, they address skepticism about the existence of exoplanets outside our solar system by pointing out that there is overwhelming evidence for their existence - estimates predict upwards of one hundred thousand free-floating planets in our galaxy alone - thus providing a compelling argument for why planetary science should be at the forefront of scientific research and offering a new perspective on longstanding problems in astrophysics.
