Gaia and Theia

Then when the solsr system needed him most, the Plavatar disappeared

Earth and theia, the sweet sisters . Gravity the attractive dude in the class. Both earth and theia attracted to him and because theia was hotter earth killed her out of jealousy

Theia fucked around and found out.

It's basically Bob and Monets origin story.

My sister and I collide like that all the time.

@@jcepri Is that how you got her pregnant ?

I feel like that much tidal disruption would have to cause enough friction for the affected masses to glow incandescent, though.

​@@atimholt it was Glowing when it hit tho

It shouldve glowed waaayy brighter @@davidaugustofc2574

not really. For this to happen the collusion would of been in an instant. Not long enough to stretch both planets like that.

It’s not that accurate. NASA computers came up with a better visual model. It’s right here on RU-vid. It was less like two solid rocks colliding and fracturing and more like two blobs of jelly whipsawing around each other like the two blobs are circle dancing around.

Earth stll may have had rings as the debris from the impact orbited Earth. Debris within the Roche Limit would fall back down to Earth, some would coalesce with the primordial moon and some would be flung into space to be lost forever.

It would have had rings for a short while but rings aren't really stable long term

by now... today... the rings would have vanished, swallowed up by the Earth over time

It's interesting to think, how many planets in our solar system had rings and for how long, Saturn's rings are only somewhere between 60-100 million years old (poor recollection on my part) and Mars will have a ring when it's gravity eventually pulls its closest moon too close and pulls it apart. As others have stated Earth once had rings but nothing lasts forever.

Well, if you love it, put a ring on it. Ammi right?

Theia is the eldest Titaness in Greek Mythology. The eldest sister of Kronos and Rhea. Therefore she is the aunt of Olympian Gods such as Zeus, Hera, Demeter, Poseidon, Hades and Hestia..

Earth ate her sister. There's definitely a Greek myth in there somewhere. ;)

@@CoffeeFiend1 lol wut

Nah, doesn’t look anything like the planetary collisions that happened here the past few years. Usually the smaller planet will take a cautious helical approach vector towards the anus of the larger planet. Then it makes a mad dash in when the larger planet is temporarily blinded by a solar flare.

@@TheTrueNarthumpulous you didn't pass the vibe check

We would very likely be at total war with them.

That would’ve been the real space race

A nuclear war would take a whole different meaning

I’m writing a novel with that exact plot right now. Currently planning draft two, hoping I’ll be done within the next few years (I’ve been working on it for seven months so far). And I’m using Theia as our sister planet.

same thing happened to Venus... but that changed the Venus rotation to opposite, and could also slingshot the moon of Venus - Mercury into direction of the Sun... Who knows... We had many planets hitting each other in that time.

If it ever happened…

As a trained astronomer, I can confirm that this CGI rendering is rather poorly done from a scientific viewpoint, and shows only a few aspects of the collision correctly (those being the pre-impact distortion of Thea and the white-hot collision point). The real event would indeed be powerful beyond the CGI renderer's imagination. A few choice effects to consider: That distortion of Thea would go along with earthquakes stronger than anything humanity ever experienced and the activation of volcanoes. Instead of rocks levitating and the surface breaking up into city-sized blocks that magically stay together, Proto-Earth would suffer a similar deformation with the same side effects. The collision would send an even stronger earthquake across both bodies, crushing every rock, reaching every part in hours, but still before the collision is over. (Would an astronaut stand on the surface, these tremors would throw him around with several Gs, likely killing him before any of the other effects arrive.) Meanwhile, at a slower speed, a fireball would travel out from the collision spot, eventually enveloping everything, melting all the remaining crust. Meanwhile, the collision would progress. But don't picture two rocks smashing into each other, imagine two drops of water. The collided planets will morph into a complex blob of lava, the majority of which will eventually (after several hours) regain a ball shape (Earth), while other parts will shoot outward like a spray of water, and a blob in that spray will coalesce into the Moon. This is the big picture, but parts of that lava blob spray will coalesce into temporary larger blobs that fall back on Earth or onto the Moon, other parts coalesce into billions of small and smaller asteroids and rock and dust that rain on the bigger bodies.

@@williamrutherford1873 I suspect your scepticism is rooted in religious fanaticism or some other form of active anti-science views, but it not: this is pretty much settled. The main reason is that there is no other explanation for the special composition of the Moon: its surface rocks are chemically very similar to the Earth's surface rocks while it lacks a major metallic core like all the rocky planets. If the Moon had formed in orbit around Earth, or elsewhere in the Solar System, it would have more metals. In addition, there are fundamental problems with both alternatives. For the version of the Moon forming in orbit around the Earth at the birth of the Solar System, it's very very unlikely that something this big could assemble in a stable way this close to the parent body. For the version of the Moon forming elsewhere, for the Earth to capture it, you need a very unlikely constellation: the Moon would already need to be partnered with a similar-sized partner, which would then be ejected in a three-way interaction with Earth.

@@Daneelro oo thank you! Deff cool to get a professional opinion on the topic. I can only imagine what it must have been like

The Highlander

Technically still two because this is how the moon was formed

​@@FishAreFriendsNotFood moon formed from the earth and some part of the defeated earth twin sister

Earth: *"We were the chosen ones! It was said that we would be solar system's binary planet, not planet and moon!"* Earth: *"You were to bring balance to the orbit, not leave it unstable..."* Theia: *"I HATE YOU!"* Earth: *"You were my sister, Theia... I loved you"*

Indeed

Wow, that is very interesting. I'm going to have to look it up.

@@melodiefrances3898 Yeah, there was a recent super computer simulation made that is supposed to be the most accurate representation of that collision.

Also, it seems there were two proto-moons that formed in the same orbit. The smaller one caught up with and smushed slowly over the larger one, creating the lumpy Moon we have today.

There is even higher level CGI which is currently unmatched for space videos. Just look youtube channel of Melodysheep. Probably the best channel of all time.

WHAT!? The CGI might _look_ amazing, but it is absolutely unscientific. The issues that bothered me start with the two things that impressed you: Rocks would not float up. Why would they? For rocks to float up, Thea would need to have a stronger gravitational force on the surface of the Earth than the Earth itself. What would happen to Earth instead would be a similar deformation as what happens to Thea. As for that deformation, the egg shape is roughly right, but even the side opposite the Earth would get somewhat elongated, and of course Earth would also distort similarly. What really bothered me was the crust of Thea breaking up like an egg shell and all those big slabs of rock. However, on the scale of planets, the crust is not like a thick egg shell, but more like milk skin, it won't have rigidity to hold together blocks tens or hundreds of kilometres across. So, if you want to picture the collision of Earth and Thea, on first order, forget about the crusts, and picture two drops of water colliding. That makes the final stages of the CGI simulation wrong, too: instead of debris floating around two half-cracked solid bodies, you would see seriously disturbed blobs of lava, eventually with jets shooting out in some directions, and debris forming only when those fly out to be thinned out, cool & break up. Now, what _would_ happen to the crust of the two planets? First, an extremely strong earthquake would travel out from the collision point on both planets. Instead of splintering them like an eggshell, all rocks would be cracked at a much smaller scale. These earthquakes would travel out at multiples of the speed of sound in air, but that would still take about an hour around Theia (and longer around Earth), not a few seconds as on that dumb simulation. However, travelling slower than the earthquake but not stopping either, the fireball from the collision point would eventually envelop the entire surface and melt the entire crust of both planets. At that point, you would literally see just blobs of lava, which I described as first approximation before.

@@Daneelro I knew it looked bad but I just don't have the expertise for it. Thanks for clearing it up.

​@@Daneelro@ Your explanation is really insightful and visually impactful, but you did not have to disrespect the work all the people put into this documentary 😂. It's cool to educate without all the pompous language.

@@undercover_idiot This doesn't deserve to be called a documentary, it's more a piece of infotainment. No, you don't have to respect everyone expending effort on something. The makers of this video could have put the same amount of work into making an actual documentary (one respecting the science).

This is funnier if you meant this as a Bruce Almighty reference.

@@drakesmith471 It must be a sign of my age that the reference wasn’t obvious to everybody.

@@Jonesylmao possibly. My parents a couple years ago went on a bit of a Jim Carey binge they wished us to take part in. In so doing, I got to see Bruce Almighty and Liar Liar. But hey, don’t take that as a bad thing. It’s akin to liking older music, if it was good, generally it will maintain that quality, and the time which you saw it shouldn’t matter. So don’t let it speak to your age, but your taste.

I regret that I have only one thumbs-up to give to this comment. That life exists in the universe at all is just so astonishing.

@@MaureenLycaon It really is incredible.

This show be required viewing. Gave me goosebumps over and over.

I wish people knew that random events did not lead to life developing here. Its mathematically impossible. We were intelligently designed. There are reams of evidence to support intelligent design, but, because it would mean that we have a creator, most people refuse to consider or even acknowledge this evidence, which has been successfully been suppressed by modern science and modern education. People who choose to believe that we are the results of random events must have a tremendous amount of faith, much more faith than any religious person has.

God made all this happen.

You witnessed all that? Dude…

yea also props to the vfx designers rendering these stuffs or smthing idk im not a designer

@@randomized6969 Rendering? Its all natural

Except it wouldn't be a moon, Earth and Theia used to orbit in the same path. At some point they'd crash.

@Ale Zuvic but what if they just ended up a binary system? Ik there would be volcanoes and stuff, and heat from tidal forces would be insane, but it'd be cool if they both just ended up habitable instead. This was just a scenario I imagined it doesn't have to make sense just go with it, I know what gravity and tides are.

If they somehow never collide we almost certainly wouldn't be here, Earth would be smaller without Theia's mass and no moon. Less mass means less gravity, no moon means that the Earth would tilt heavily, ironically if Theia hadn't collided with Earth we wouldn't have our current 23.4 tilt and would normally lead to having no season but without the moon the Earth would tilt uncontrollably which means violent and unpredictable weather. Also I'm no sure on this one but iirc Theia's impact is the reason why our core still remains pretty hot, so if our core had cooled down without Theia's impact it means no electromagnetic shield for Earth which means no protection from the sun's deadly rays which means bye bye atmosphere and water since they evaporate like how it happened to Mars. If that happens to us it would also happen to the smaller Theia so instead of one habitable planet with a uninhabitable moon you have 2 lifeless barren rocks.

@Neon Nemesis It's a what if scenario, anything can happen, stop being a bummer. Maybe some other planet came and hit our core and maybe that's what makes Theia in orbit as opposed to a crash course. Bam now we tilt and have seasons, and a habitable moon see how fun this can be?

@@AlejandroLZuvic Incorrect they'd orbit around a barycenter like Pluto and Charon do.

Watch (214) Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey with Neil deGrasse Tyson, great 13 episode series as well.

@@Crashed131963 I did! I love it! I’ve rewatched it a few times. 😊

@Jason Mafia that is so stupid and overused "joke" Although it was never actually funny

what ep is this clip from

@@harshitprajapati5887 Episode 6 "Force of Attraction"

not sure it'd be that simple of an alternate explanation

Yeah, that's not a sure thing, at all. Just from the get go, being smaller would be a problem to hold the same atmosphere as Earth.

We don't know what effect moon had on life to evolve on earth. For all we know that collision and moon forming from it could have been a most important event. Theia could have been deflecting asteroids carrying water and therefore stopping or changing their course with it's gravitational influence so earth could never had received those asteroids and no water means no life as we know it

@@AlejandroLZuvic On the other hand, having it being the Earth's moon might make conditions on Theia different than similarly sized planets. Would the Earth's gravitational field be enough to keep some atmosphere on Theia? Our current moon is just a rock, so that's different.

@@AlejandroLZuvic you don't remember titan? Size isn't the problem, the core matters, core generated magnetic field which is essential for blocking the sun wind, unlike mars theia is melted enough on the inside it could really hold it's atmosphere like earth does.

The moon is highly underrated as a place to colonize.

My sister and I collide like that on a weekly basis. As in Fight. lol

The same can be said about the biblical God. Yet we still believe because it's our faith.

Science in that way, can be very similar. There's multiple studies that are literally based on theories but have real life formulas and properties that can be deemed as evidence.

True but it is the most mathematically sound. As well as the materials brought back from the moon. Think Budweiser and Bud light. Both are the same. Just one is lacking the full volume.

@@aurorajudith-ramirez7389 good one 😂

@@aurorajudith-ramirez7389 true, but they still shouldnt push it as though it can be confirmed 100%. It would be great if they could because it means they are actually learning more about the history of the planet

It's not a secret but not many classes teach about Theia. I discovered when I was quite young but only because I loved reading Encarta, not because of school.

In my school it was literally a small footnote on an Earth time line, it didn't even mention its name

Some theories say it was a rogue planet. So when nasa went to the moon they found Earth's crust on the moon.... Something cataclysmic would have had to have happened to fling land mass 200k miles away from earth to the moon while also beating Earth's gravity to try to keep its own crust connected. The moon is the remnants of theia and earth that didn't not combine to make the actual earth reformation.

how can something come out of nothing? how can you have order from chaos? does the big bang just defy the law of physics?

@@strawberrymelonpie2505 its well explained in the series, million and billion years of transformation , war of chemical , biological and quantum reactions .

This isn't our planets birth, it's the moon's

All those wrinkles? Yep.

Au contraire, the moon is actually slowly drifting away with every revolution around the Earth. One day the solar eclipses won't be total any more as the moon would not appear large enough due to its distance from the Earth to block it out completely in our skies. :D

Life would've been different or there wouldn't be any at all.

We wouldn’t be around then most likely but if we still had it and it turned out the same way as now we can travel between both of them but life will probably be different so we should be thankful it crashed into earth but the moon is most likely the remnants of theia I believe but Parts of her is still with the Earth today might be inside the Earth as well

@@ConsumptiveSoul the moon is a bit of both planets. The grave to a long dead world

@@ClockMaster_3100 The collision with Thea thinned our crust allowing continental plates to move around which was (and is needed) to maintain life. It also left much more iron to our core for it to be bigger and cool down slower -> maintaining our magnetic shield against radiation (and to keep our atmoshpere) It also resulted in our 'giant' moon, which helps stabilising our axis of rotation creating a very stable environment for life to emerge If Thea remained in either a stable twin planet configuration or just stitting on a stable point on the same orbit, we would most likely not be here discussing this. Thea would be the same dry desert as Mars is today (not big enough to keep a metal core warm enough for too long to generate the magnetoshpere -> ergo lose all of its water and most of it's atmosphere) - and we would be too wobbly and probably also a no longer functioning magnetosphere - like Venus. It would be most likely two dead planet rather than two with full of life. That event was needed for us to be here :) so we are thankful for Thea for giving all she had for us to live
