New discovery of the solar system

Small spots of graphite in Australian zircon crystals (1) discovered by American geologist Mark Harrison (XNUMX) change not only previous ideas about the origin of life on Earth. They also force us to change our view of the solar system...

1. Biogenic traces 4,1 billion years ago

So many! The biogenic traces that the scientist found in the stones date back 4,1 billion years. This shifts the dating of life on our planet by 300 million years ago.

The problem is that the conditions that existed on Earth at that time were in no way suitable either for the creation or for the maintenance of life. At that time, there was a real hell here, seething with red-hot lava and volcanoes, constantly bombarded by space debris (2). So why?

Sam Solar system (3) after all, not much older. According to classical theories, it began to form from a cloud of cosmic dust and rocks that collapsed under the influence of gravity, creating the Sun about 4,6 billion years ago. Then, as the cloud around the star cooled, planets began to form.

3. Planets of the solar system, the Moon and the Sun

In the context of Harrison's discovery, it's time to create the appropriate conditions for the emergence of life, especially since traditional models speak of massive asteroid bombardments that haunted the Earth-Moon system.
