Formation of the Inner Solar System
As described by J. Marvin Herndon (pictured), all stars and planets formed as gas giants. The current thinking is that stars ignite due the friction and compression of in-falling matter achieving the requisite 100 to 200 millions of degrees temperature to ignite fusion. This cannot happen.
The Stephan-Boltzmann equation can be expressed as follows:
J* = sigma x T4
That is, the radiated energy flux from a black body in space ( say, expressed in joules per sq. meter) equals the Stephan-Boltzmann constant (sigma) times the absolute temperature of the body raised to the 4th Power. Quite obviously, the radiated energy would dissipate heat at such a rate as to preclude the 100 to 200 million degrees required for thermonuclear ignition.
Ergo, Herndon’s argument for a confined fission reaction at the solar core igniting Fusion is a logical extension. Stars ignite as large Hydrogen Bombs.
Since all major celestial bodies formed as gas giants, when the Sun ignited it blew away the gas/liquid overburden on the four (4) rocky inner planets. The blast was so violent on Mercury that it vaporized the surface. The surface of Mercury shows evidence of extremely high temperatures, molten rock, and a higher composition of Iron. The Iron-rich core of Mercury is more fully exposed. The lighter rocky strata was vaporized. This material re-condensed to contribute to the asteroid belt. One face of Mars is severely cratered, no doubt from the debris blasted from Mercury.
The best that astronomers can deduce is that our Moon was formed from a planetoid located between Venus and Earth ( or a large Venusian moon). This planetoid was thrown into Earth in a glancing blow that they call the “Big Splash” or “Big Impact”. Astronomers call this planetoid “Theia”, the Grecian mother of the moon.
Theia was struck by the Sun’s blast wave before Earth. The Earth’s proto-atmosphere had not yet been blown away, thereby protecting the Earth. Theia broke apart and the major remnant became our Moon. The Moon Mom threw herself in front of the blast wave to protect Mother Earth and so Theia perished. As is Mars, one face of the Moon is heavily cratered, no doubt from Mercury’s debris.
This scenario requires that Theia and Earth were roughly in alignment. Mercury, Theia, Earth, and Mars were at least in the same quadrant or arc in their orbits. The Moon remains as the reminder of romance and to move the tides. Powerful is this daughter of Theia. Recall that aerobic life began in the tidal pools of Earth, wetting and re-wetting our ancestors.
The debris scattered from the destruction of Theia are logically the meteoric dust which gives us the Perseid and Leonid meteor showers. The debris would split on either side of the impact region. You can sweep and sweep yet you never get up all the dust.
