Blue Giants start out as seeds...stellar metamorphosis

 

3. Blue giants are not born large — they grow from a dense seed

This solves several issues in SM:

  • How do you get a huge, luminous star from a diffuse nebula?
    → Because the nebula first compresses electromagnetically before expanding.

  • Why are massive stars short-lived?
    → Because their expansion phase is only a brief “flash” after a strong EM collapse.

  • Why do many massive stars appear in clustered regions?
    → Because EM filaments collapse in groups.
