Oh now we have observed it all happening? Do you have a source for this? Because I think this would take millions of years of observation.
He said we have observed all stages, not observed one solar system going through all stages.
To make an analogy, try to imagine that a species lived for millions of years and that an infant growing up into an adult takes allot longer than you can live. In fact observing one individual throughout your life time, would not show much aging. However, you have many individuals that all are of different ages and that gives you the clue of how they age, even when you have never observed one individual going from infant to adult.
Apart from discovering other solar systems with their own planets (I mean hundreds in just a few decades) we also have observed protoplanetary disks with young stars, or in normal english. Just very young solar systems with a sun and a big dust cloud circling around it due to
GRAVITY YOU FUCKING RETARD!!! - with kind regards, desertphile
and thus is in the process that the nebular hypothesis proposes.
