      The Theia hypothesis is fascinating... but... how did the earth keep enough water and gaseous elements, from not being torn or burned away in the collision. I use a term called timestamps, which mean in this case points in a temperial record of a timeline. Now, keep in mind the timestamp points of events for planetary age and that of the Solar system timeline. Age of the moon at about 4.5 billion years and first ocean on earth at 3.8 billion. Also, then the evolutionary timeline for the development of Life on Earth at about 3.7 billion. Then add into account the Required time to cool and stabilize a forming planet after such even like that Theia hypothesis. Now, where did the water and gaseous materials come from in time to form our atmosphere after Theia collision to match the timeline for the development of a stable water world and the atmosphere that also coincides with our proven dates for life on Earth?

The formation of planets, the first form of life, the first fish on land, the first use of fire, the discovery of penicillin, the death of the last member of extinct animals, the nuclear bomb impacts etc etc. If I had to give up my life, which I do enjoy, and never communicate with anything ever again, I would.

    As soon as it was mentioned that the earth and moon have very similar isotopic ratios this theory is what came to my mind. It just makes sense that a collision would rip the mantles of both bodies apart but leave the more dense and gravitationally bound core more or less intact. And that the exterior of the smaller body would be mostly buried in the larger body, while the exterior of the larger body would make up the majority of the debris, meaning once all the dust settles the two bodies would have similar exteriors.
    Though I do understand that “it just makes the most sense” isn’t exactly something you can get published in a journal, and when the early simulations all contradict your intuition, you have to follow the data and not what you think is right

    I love videos about the moon, and this one had it all concerning its creation, even the epic 2022 simulation and Theia's potential mantle pieces beneath earth's surface, thank you.
    I would love to see a similar video sometime - "Our moon - the full story", that covers not only the moon's origin, but all the implications that come from its anomalic existence - why such large moons are rare, what impact that could have had on earth's composition, how the moon might be related to events on earth like the tide, or even the origin of life itself. Where Theia might've come from - did it form in Sol's protoplanetary disc, or was it a rogue planet, or might it have even been an early collision with another star system which also explains some of the other bodie's retrograde movement?
    Could also be a cool crossover episode between your PBS colleagues like PBS Spacetime.
    I believe that our moon is the key to many odd and outstanding properties of earth. It could be the thing that truly sets us apart and makes earth "special", and might even be the solution to the famous Fermi Paradox.

    0:38 Pluto, a dwarf planet, still has moons. It's moon Charon is about half its size, so it has the largest moon relative to its size, that we know of, in the solar system. They redefined the word "planet" to exclude Pluto, but they have not changed the definition of "moon" so far as I know....

    • @NZBigfoot
      @NZBigfoot Месяц назад +2

      Thing is, technically Pluto is 2 dwarf planets orbiting each other since the barycenter for their orbit sits outside each of them... technically people sometimes think the same for the Earth and Moon, although our Barycenter sits still within the Earths crust, but just barely... but given the moons size and the like you could still argue for the Earth Moon being a dual planet system... i mean it would be cool to say we come from a twin planet system, AND theres the idea that the moon technically orbits the Sun in many ways, it just shares the same orbit as the Earth basically like two cars driving down the highway passing each other periodically.

    • @Pandaemoni
      @Pandaemoni Месяц назад

      @@NZBigfoot NASA's website refers to Charon as a "moon" though I agree that they could be a double dwarf planet (especially as they orbit a point that is outside Pluto itself), Still, there is no formal definition of what counts as a "moon" (or natural satellite) so that term is still used for Charon. The Moon is still the largest satellite relative to its orbital partner that any true "planet" has, but that makes Charon all the more interesting to me.

    I remember first seeing this idea on TV when i was a kid, and being absolutely awestruck by it. Though i seem to remember that the theory at that time was that Thea grazed the earth, then rebounded back into it and those two impacts were what made the moon. Granted that was over a decade ago, so this version is likely more accurate.

    That's always has been my concern when I read or watch video about the formation of the moon and that was made by a strike with the Earth. I have always thought, for sure that impact it should left a mark in some place in the world. Well know it looks like that these marks are inside the mantle of the Earth, that's super interesting!
