And in turn with the cloud being compressed, shouldn't it start to form its own gravity well, and start gobbling up more matter on its own? Therefore creation should still follow destruction...??

But new observations of a well known nova system called RS Ophiuchus shows that isn’t the case. The dust was there already, and a nova blast just clears it all away. (more…) [...]
