Sunday Science

Since it’s Sunday, let’s delve into some cosmic science and have a little fun for a change. Now ... “creationists” will tell you that things happened the way they happened because that’s the way God intended them to happen and therefore he made them happen. So-called “evolutionists” will tell you that “s**t just happens” and we’re all just a 15 billion year long series of accidents.

I tend to agree with the former because the life spark in this hairless monkey body I currently occupy likes to think of itself as somewhat more than the product of an accidental collision between two protozoa a few billion years ago. No, something bigger had to have a hand in there somewhere and I would really like to ask that “something bigger” why He (or She) left me with an appendix at the end of things. But I digress. I’ll take that up with Him (or Her) later.

For now, let’s just suppose for a moment that about 65 million years ago our Solar System looked somewhat different than it does today and in between Earth and Jupiter there was another massive gas giant like Jupiter or Saturn and it had two moons, one of which was destined to become Mars and the other consigned to be smashed into asteroids ...

Both of these planetary changes occurred about 65 million years ago, when suddenly one fine Thursday morning the finger of God reached out and touched the hypothetical Planet V which they revolved around, smashing it to oblivion and starting a chain of events that caused a certain creature to appear on Earth about 3.2 million years ago, as that planet suddenly ended a period of extremely hot global warming and cooled down enough to became a veritable Garden Of Eden.

This is not an attempt to be sacrilegious, I assure you. It is but a feeble attempt to understand the old saying that “God works in mysterious ways” or as Albert Einstein said, “Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.”

I’ll leave it to you to figure out how snakes and apples came into all this. For now though, just wrap your head around this theory and let’s discuss the possibilities. After all, what else are brains for? They’re utterly useless without ideas ....

In this study, we wish to focus our attention on hypothetical original Planet V, which occupied the position in the solar system now held by Mars; and on its original twin-moon companions, Mars and Body C. The evidence that Mars was a moon of an exploded planet is extensive. The existence of a “twin” is required by fission theory if the parent body was liquid or gaseous, and by evidence suggestive of a second explosion affecting Mars. This twin is the body most likely to have held life, as suggested by findings of water and organic molecules and evidence for weathering in meteorites dated close to Body C’s indicated explosion date of 3.2 million years ago.

Of those two moons of Planet V, Mars was apparently closer to Planet V than Body C was. This is because Body C most likely took less damage than Mars did when Planet V exploded 65 million years ago. Had it been the other way around, life of any kind might not have survived or evolved to an advanced stage on Body C. However, we tried developing the dynamical tests in this article assuming the opposite order (Body C as the innermost moon) and found no solutions compatible with the applicable theories and available evidence, Of course, both moons would have been badly damaged by the Planet V explosion. But both managed to survive for the next 62 million years in mutual orbit around each other, which indicates that damage done by the Planet V explosion was not the sole cause of the much later Body C explosion, or of its timing.

Postulate I: Correlation Earth, 65 Million Years Ago

During the End-Cretaceous (K-T) extinction (65 million years ago) eighty-five percent of all species disappeared, making it the second largest mass extinction event in geological history. This mass extinction event has generated considerable public interest, primarily because of its role in the demise of the dinosaurs.

Postulate II: Correlation Earth, 3.2 Million Years Ago

The Pliocene epoch itself contains episodic climate fluctuations prior to the late Pliocene cooling, and our focus for study is a warm period in the middle Pliocene between 3.15 and 2.85 million years before present and, as such, spanned the period of time during which the Earth transitioned from relatively warm climates to the generally cooler climates of the Pleistocene. This transition included the emergence of the direct ancestors of humankind and contains the beginnings of cyclic Northern Hemisphere glaciation.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
