It's always nice to have proof of theories. Still, it would have been cool to have seen it!<br /><br />FerrellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494544263897150929.post-54996838200137709142009-08-11T20:38:32.315-07:002009-08-11T20:38:32.315-07:00'Wow' is a pretty good summary, I agree! I...'Wow' is a pretty good summary, I agree! It's one thing to read, in theoretical articles, about the demolition derby phase of planetary systems - another to come across recent, specific evidence of it.<br /><br />Again, it is like coming on the accident scene so soon afterward that bits and pieces are still skidding across the freeway.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932015378213238346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494544263897150929.post-51709665229466016862009-08-11T20:06:54.503-07:002009-08-11T20:06:54.503-07:00What to say, what to say...? Hmmmm...
Wow.
Now t...What to say, what to say...? Hmmmm...<br /><br />Wow.<br /><br />Now that that's out of the way... This is a fairly strong bit of supporting evidence for the Super Sumo Slam hypothesis of lunar formation. .555% of observed star systems show clear evidence of collisions between rocky protoplanetary bodies, although this latest one is too recent and too destructive to be much good to anyone. But the newness of the event is a big part of how the researchers found it. A big cloud of hot grit is comparitively easy to spot. Cooling dust clouds or coalescing 'sandstorms' would probably be harder to identify as collision remnants. And if the impact had happened, say, a billion years ago there probably wouldn't be a fingerprint left to spot. This is support for the Velikovsky Big Smash theory, but we need more.<br /><br />And, again, wow.<br /><br />Ian_MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
