According to various studies, more than one half of stars exist as members of binary and multiple systems. Therefore any theory for star formation must account for this fact. In other words, the problem of the origin of binaries has a far broader implication than is implied as a part of binary-star study. For this reason one cannot overexaggerate its importance.
