I didn't say "we don't know cr*p"... I said there
was not a definitive answer. We know a lot about
the timing, materials, and physical conditions
needed to make chondrules and CAIs, and people
have used these to make models for their
formation. But many of these constraints are
under scrutiny right now, and some pretty basic
things are still controversial. What this means
is... ok, we don't know cr*p. But progress is being made.

Hi, Carl, Francesco, Jeff, List,
Wrong, Carl. A good solid "We don't know
crap about this yet; it's all up in the air"
is the best kind of definitive answer.
There are probably a half-dozen scenarios
for how this data came about and there's few
reasons to choose any one over the others.
I was glad to hear Jeff confirm it.

Ahhh! Good questions, Francesco. I had been
wondering about CAIs and chondrules myself. None
of the books I've read explains,how?
Thanks also for your answer, Jeff. While not
definitive, it seems to be the only answer at this time. Thank you.

Definitive answers to what caused the formation of CAIs and chondrules
