20 Minute intro to the Ganymede Hypothesis
Ganymede is Jupiter's largest moon. Just a bit smaller than Mars, it is an icy wasteland now but that appears not to have always been the case. There is reason to believe that a few tens of thousands of years ago, it would have been a warm, fresh-water ocean world with islands and floating bergs of pumice and luxuriant vegetation.
There is a Youtube channel called Ganymede Hypothesius containing related materials.
The unabridged version of the story is a free download in pdf format, around 340 pages.
This theory is not exactly genesis but it is closer to Genesis than it is to any kind of a book on evolutionary biology. It eliminates any ideas about humans descending from apes or hominids.
Men are from Mars and women are from Jupiter?
More like hominids such as the Neanderthal were from Earth, modern humans are from Jupiter/Ganymede.
It’s an intriguing theory.
Jupiter and its moons are a billion miles from the sun — more than ten times Earth/Sun distance. Surface temps on Ganymede vary between -170 to -290 Fahrenheit. Water at that temperature doesn’t just freeze — it rivals steel in terms of strength. Ganymede may have liquid water beneath the ice layers covering its oceans from geothermal sources. But on the surface? Not a chance.
That IS the case NOW... But the most normal situation in the Milky Way is for gas giant planets to be up close to the stars they orbit, hence the term "hot Jupiters" that you read. That WAS the situation with Jupiter a few tens of thousands of years ago. You might wanto to watch that 20-minute intro.
The event in which our present sun captured that ancient Southern/Saturnian system caused everything in our system to pile up in a sort of a heap temporarily, and then everything spread out to eventually become what you see now.
Out of town for a few days starting in about an hour, back Wednesday or Thursday.
My understanding is that Jupiter has such strong radiation emanating from it that life as we know it could not exist.
But, then, there’s Europa…
That itself is an idea that has no basis in fact, nor any evidence to support it. The planets formed where they currently are billions of years ago. The sun didn’t “capture” anything.
From page 79
“the most likely scenario for early humans to have gotten to earth [From Ganymede] involves an electrical water bridge and a splash saltation event that most likely would have landed those early humans in the waters of the Pacific Ocean. On their own, they most likely would all have drowned. Our working assumption is that they were assisted by other aquatic mammals with whom early humans had symbiotic relationships, and the most likely large body of land for them to have ended up on would have been Australia.”
Very creative novel.
Trying to avoid saying from which planet the alphabet groups originated.
