And what prompted this “hypothesis” to emerge now, and not at some earlier point in time?
CA....
GIGO
Garbage In, Garbage Out. Just like Glowbull Warming. Basis of models but what is the basis of basis?
We decedents of planet Gog want reparations.
Bush’s Fault
For Rosie O’Donnell, that’s breakfast.
What a coincidence!! So did Mooshell Obummer!!
It’s supposed to be Saturn that swallowed his children, not Jupiter. Maybe they should switch the names of the two planets.
I know you meant this as a joke but there is evidence gases rise to the surface after a long period of time and after a large impact like this.

The earth seen a number of events we call them mass extinction.
The greatest extinction in world history coincide with what seems to be a belching of the earth.
the great extinction of 250 million years ago is very likely one of those burps
Terrible article.
More mass!= smaller core. Same principle behind white dwarfs and neutron stars.
A little more mass and Jupiter becomes a star.
This is the key to the Michael Moore diet.
In a deeper translation, Chinese guys and their wives expel hot gas and heavy elements at each other. Then they get exhausted and get along fine again. That's because they safely drink tea and not coffee from Brasil.
“Get in Me Belly!”
...the giant planet, which is more than 120 times bigger than the Earth, has an extremely small core that weighs just two to 10 Earth masses.Thanks LibWhacker for the topic. Jupiter's mass is nearly 318 times that of the Earth's, and its density is about one-fourth that of Earth, hence it has much greater overall volume. :')

The Earth and Moon are the result of a gigantic collision between two planets the size of Mars and Venus, they said.Well, that's just zany. Venus isn't as large as the Earth is *now*; the Moon is about 1 percent of the mass of the Earth; ergo, in the impact origin model, the proto-Earth was even larger than we see today. Mars is about 1/8th the mass of the Earth, and about half of the mass of the Moon came from the impactor, according to that model.

Darn right. And I demand to know why the Theory of Relativity wasn’t devised by the Assyrians. Something very strange in that.
