Perhaps Jupiter Created Us

Jupiter, however, put an end to those early occupiers of the inner orbits, bulldozing in and sweeping them into the sun, according to a paper published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Jupiter's epic, planet-shattering journey toward the sun and back out again laid the foundations for the creation of Earth and the other smaller planets nearby -- Mercury, Venus and Mars.

Anymore, when I read stuff like this, I immediately think, 'Is this even remotely true? Or is this just somebody trying to get 15 min. of fame?'

 

Seriously -- all of a sudden, Jupiter pushed stuff into the Sun and allowed Earth to be formed? I'd like to think you can't make this stuff up. But that's exactly what it sounds like somebody did.

Jupiter protects our butts… the planet has a huge influence on the inner solar system and has made life on earth possible by it's massive gravitation which keeps most smaller bodies from smashing into us. It may have other effects - but this one I know about.  :D

Evidence for second (and third) generation planets orbiting the same star is accumulating.

Curiously enough, the very first planets ever detected outside our solar system (extrasolar planets) must be second-generation planets.

That's because a pulsar is the remnant of a star that's exploded as a supernova.

That explosion would have vaporized any first generation planets or ejected them, propelling them into interstellar space.  Therefore, the pulsar planets we've detected must have formed from the debris left over from the supernova blast.

 

Thanks,

 

BAA.

"It is thought to be the diamond crystal core remaining from the evaporated white dwarf, with an estimated 1031 carat weight."

 

I see some good sci-fi coming out of this. Humans going off to mine diamond crystal core planets and get filthy rich back on earth....

This sounds like a step toward post scarcity in sci fi plots

That murdering bastard.

 

You can't just commit planeticide and get away with it!
