  2. Theia (planet) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theia_(planet)

    [1] [2] Collision simulations support the idea that the large low-shear-velocity provinces in the lower mantle may be remnants of Theia. [3] [4] Theia is hypothesized to have been about the size of Mars, and may have formed in the outer Solar System and provided much of Earth's water, though this is debated. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant-impact_hypothesis

    If a separate proto-planet Theia had existed, it probably would have had a different oxygen isotopic signature than Earth, as would the ejected mixed material. [51] The Moon's titanium isotope ratio (50 Ti/ 47 Ti) appears so close to Earth's (within 4 ppm), that little if any of the colliding body's mass could likely have been part of the Moon ...

    Theia, an ancient planet, collided with Earth to form the moon, scientists believe. A new study suggests Theia could have also formed mysterious blobs called large low-velocity provinces, or LLVPs.

    4.5 billion years ago, Earth experienced a cataclysmic rendezvous with a planet named Theia. Evidence of the impact is still buried deep within the Earth. 2% of Earth's Mass May Be Debris From the ...

    Another Trans-Neptunian planet at 1,500 AU away from the Sun, proposed by Rodney Gomes in 2012 [20] Theia or Orpheus, [21] a Mars-sized impactor believed to have collided with the Earth roughly 4.5 billion years ago; an event which created the Moon. Evidence from 2019 suggests that it may have originated in the outer Solar System. [22]

  8. Twin Earth thought experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Earth_thought_experiment

    On Twin Earth, there is a Twin equivalent of every person and thing here on Earth. The one difference between the two planets is that there is no water on Twin Earth. In its place there is a liquid that is superficially identical, but is chemically different, being composed not of H 2 O, but rather of some more complicated formula which we ...
