Premature birth induced by the high stress situation?
Works for me! Obviously the real explanation is the writers wanted an efficient way to tie the Nero story into Kirk’s story within the movie’s restricted runtime - I think they handled it well enough.
I get that it’s fashionable to hate JJ for the mishandling of star wars and it’s fashionable to hate the 09 trek movie, but when the movie goes out of its way to go HEY WE ARE A WHOLE SEPERATE CONTINUITY CAUSALLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE TIMELINE SPOCK AND NERO CAME FROM… you look like a fucking jackass for whining.
Dude literally did everything he could to go 'this does not invalidate the trek you grew up with. ’
Im calling out Abrams habit of dumping unsolvable “mysteries” in his work as cheap bait to maintain engagement instead of building cohesive stories that engage based on merit. He does this with every single property he works on, and once you see it you cant unsee it.
Its the same garbage Moffat did with Dr. Who/sherlock/etc. Besides a small scattering of standout episodes, his shows are inane, plotless garbage full of “mysteries” that have no pay off at all. Hbomberguy has a long but excellent video about this.
You should read the link i posted. I goes more indepth with the growing issue in entertainment media.
How do you feel about Lord of the Rings? Nobody has ever put more mystery boxes into a story than JRR Tolkien.
JJ Abrams didn’t invent putting mysteries into stories, he just gave it the name “mystery box” in a TED talk. The insane internet hatred of JJ Abrams has resulted in people hating a part of world building that has always existed in stories. Just the Youtube videos you’re watching won’t point it out in the things you like and say things like “LOTR sucks because there’s too many mystery boxes!” because they don’t get any monetization that way. They just point it out in things you’re preconditioned to dislike to create a narrative.
Tom Bombadil is a bigger mystery box than anything JJ Abrams has ever done.

Nah, not enough fog monster for me.
Abrams should have added some random polar bears in too. Gotta work in more “mystery box.”
