The Missing Object – The Asteroid Belt – Thursday 9th March 2023

An article yesterday was discussing a chaotic impact upon the planets of the solar system if there was a planet situated between Jupiter and Mars.

My first thought of course was that the mass of the asteroid belt is naturally only consisting of the small particles that remain in the vicinity when such an impact occurs. The larger pieces don’t behave in the same way as the dust and debris.

I wondered what provoked the idea of studying/calculating the result of placing a planet in that space in the solar systems present state.

If we were to witness an impact of the type that results in fine matter and debris, eventually that debris should form something very much like the asteroid belt.

My work indicates that Earth is younger than Mars and Venus and Mercury are younger than Earth. It’s feasible then that when this debris formed the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, Earth didn’t exist yet. My conclusion is that Mars was in existence and that if Earth was present at that time, it was very young with nothing between it and our star.

The solar system evolves and if it loses a planet due to impact, it evolves differently than it would than if said impact didn’t occur.
