As we make our way through the solar system, our third stop brings us to Earth, which is almost certainly where you are sitting as you read these words, unless my content is still being watched hundreds of years after its release on some base on Callisto! How did the Earth form? And what about the moon? There is lots to discuss here so let's get into it!

By "Creationists", I'm sure you mean people who believe the world was created in only 7 days, 6000 years ago. Some creationists beleive the universe was created 13.8 billion years ago, and that God is bigger than the literal interpretation of Genesis. After all, according to Relativity, if you're travelling close enough to the speed of light, seven days for you could be 13.8 billion years for somebody else. There is, of course, no evidence that God exists. But for the longest time there was no proof that bacteria existed. Then the microscope was invented and suddenly many biological processes made more sense. Perhaps at some point we'll have the technology to look into higher dimensions, and we'll discover the nature of consciousness itself.

The body that collided with the early Earth to form the moon is called Theia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theia_(planet) It's difficult to find out exactly what its exact composition was, and where it formed, because its remains are integrated into Earth and the moon, although there is some evidence that most of Earth's water came from this body. It was once thought it had to be a glancing blow (which would make the moon almost completely formed of Theia's remains, with the rest absorbed into Earth). But recently it's been determined that it was a much more direct hit, that actually blasted a lot of the proto-Earth's mantle into space as well, which makes the moon a mix of that mantle material and Theia remains. The remainder of Theia was absorbed into what became the Earth as we know it, which explains why the moon's composition is so similar to Earth's mantle. It's interesting stuff.

It also explains why Earth's core is so big compared to its size, and why the Moon's core is so small compared to its size. Most of Theia's core never made it into space and sank down to merge with proto-Earth's core.

It is remarkable just how many unique circumstances came together to create this one little ball capable of supporting such diverse life. On the surface it make it easy to so see why some think Earth might be the only planet with life in the universe. What are the chances all these conditions happened anywhere else? But at the same time the discovery of other Earth-like worlds in recent years could lead one to think maybe these circumstances are less a cosmic fluke and more the norm than we ever thought.

Hello Professor Dave. Perhaps there's a video better suited for me to ask the question, but I'm curious. I'd read something a couple of years ago that speculated that Mercury may have been the core of a gas/ice giant that migrated into the inner solar system a long time ago and had everything but it's dense core stripped by the solar wind. Has anything on this subject been settled? Was this debunked/confirmed?
@ProfessorDaveExplains

I've never heard that but it seems highly unlikely since the probability that it would have such a near circular orbit is infinitesimally low. I'm sure there are other reasons it doesn't make sense in terms of composition.

@@ProfessorDaveExplains I think I had seen it first on Anton Petrov's channel from back in around 2016. It got me thinking, because of the discovery of gas giants that have migrated inward in other star systems and now they orbit very close, fast, and not in highly eccentric orbits. Pretty sure this was the case for the first confirmed exo-planet if my memory doesn't fail me.

Little known fun fact: "It is the pull of the Moon’s gravity on the Earth that holds our planet in place. Without the Moon stabilising our tilt, it is possible that the Earth’s tilt could vary wildly. It would move from no tilt (which means no seasons) to a large tilt (which means extreme weather and even ice ages)." (Royal Museums Greenwich) So it is doubtful life would have arisen here given the eccentric gyrations of a moonless earth. Probably should rename it Goldilocks given how many things had to be perfect for life to evolve.

the flag was folded up when it was erected and is held up by a vertical bar at the back and a horizontal bar at the top. since theres no atmosphere on the moon and the gravity is only 1/3rd that of earth the wrinkles it had when the astronauts unfolded it remained. thats why it looks like its moving when it realy isnt.

@RocketCouch
@RocketCouch 2 жыл бұрын
I doubt it. If we assume that "russia" in this context is the entire surface of the country and the entire section of the crust beneath it, then it would be comparatively pretty small. The crust is very thin compared to the other layers of the earth.

The interior of the earth is not speculation. Ask a geologist. I'll grant you that there are slight elements of speculation in the origin of the moon, but you're ignoring things like its composition and details about its orbit that are extremely clear indicators of its origin. So labeling it pure speculation is not correct.

To all the commentators on this accurate comment, it seems that you have heard every argument pro and against creation, God, Christianity, etc. So it seems to be a waste of breath for me to rattle off and refer you to credible people who scientifically and theoretically disproved the Big Bang, evolution, etc. . Therefore, I will ask you this: What will you say or do if people tells you things BEFORE it even happens, claiming to be prophets of God. WELL READ THIS: *DONALD* *TRUMP'S* A 2-TERM PRESIDENT & HE WILL ALSO HAVE HIS PICK ON *5* ( FIVE ) SUPREME COURT JUSTICES! Trump will be reelected in 2020 (2 years from now)! HE WILL NOT GET IMPEACHED. -Probably once the 5 Supreme Court Justices are in, Roe vs. Wade will be overturned! -OPEC (that evil regime that uses money to fundraise for terrorism) will be annihilated. -Cures for cancers, dementia, Alzheimer’s, and such will finally be released. -US and Russia are the two main entities that are going to overthrow ISIS, similar with the overthrow of Nazi Germany back in WWII. (*Trump* *just* *said* that ISIS is pretty much defeated!) -US and Israel will be energy independent! We will no longer be importers of oil, but leading exporters. (*And* *guess* *what*, America's the LARGEST CRUDE OIL PRODUCERS. RESEARCH IT!) THIS HAD BEEN ACCURATELY PROPHESIED BEFORE IT HAPPENED . -Bush Sr. will be the first to go before Carter. The other three (Clinton, Bush Jr. and Obama) including Hillary Clinton and probably some congressmen will be going to prison or coming close to it. There will be mass arrests coming; military-style tribunals are coming for their treason. People will stand trial. GOD IS USING TRUMP FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS TO GET AMERICA BACK TOWARD RIGHTEOUSNESS!! [Research Mark Taylor Prophesies]. Thank you for you time and have a wonderful Thanksgiving, 2018!
