Nah, if they got to big their metabolism would be to slow to support life, there are physical limitations of the chemical processes that support life.

Perhaps the planet formed around a larger star and as the article suggests WAS a seed for a gas giant as was typical of planets that massive, but then the star collapsed sending the planet off into space and stripping the gas off leaving the seed adrift where it could have come in contact with another system and fell into synchronous orbit. A lot of speculation in this theory and it might be too convoluted to be true, I’m also not sure if the time even matches us right, but it’s always possible.

The note says “sunlike star” but also says the system is 11 billions years old. A sunlike star would be a red giant at that age. Something is not right.

It seems to me that any active life on this planet would be strong but very lightweight to allow movement with a reasonable level of effort

Or would suggest that larger mammals with more muscle density have thrived

I think all the math is wrong at some point, causing these theories to be misleading. When we figure it out, I think it will hit us like a brick upside the head.

Man, I’d hate to try and be a land animal on a planet with 17 times the mass of Earth. The gravity must be horrendous.
