Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars — even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.
This seems like an argument from ignorance as detection of exoplanets is very difficult compared to detection of stars (whether binary, the majority, or not.)
The way we do detect exoplanets would probably be hindered by binary star systems. Call it glare from the second sun? Masking the dips in brightness.
But hey maybe NGT will show up and give me a lecture.
