Wisdom Teachings Season 19 Episode 4 [#146] Mars & The Exploded Planet Hypothesis
- January 1, 2016
Wisdom Teachings is back with an exciting episode on "Mars & The Exploded Planet Hypothesis." In this episode, the focus is on the planet Mars and the theory that it was once a part of a much larger planet that exploded billions of years ago. This theory is not new, but according to the host of Wisdom Teachings, it may have more scientific backing than previously thought.
The episode begins by exploring the basic concepts of the Exploded Planet Hypothesis. The idea is that there used to be a planet called Tiamat that existed in our solar system, and it was destroyed in a massive explosion. The debris from this explosion formed the asteroid belt, while some larger chunks of Tiamat became planets, including Mars.
The episode then delves into the scientific evidence that supports this theory. There are many strange features of Mars that seem to suggest it was once a larger planet. For example, scientists have found that the planet's internal structure is not consistent with what you would expect from a planet that formed naturally. In addition, Mars has a number of vast, flat plains that are very different from the surrounding terrain. According to the Exploded Planet Hypothesis, these plains are actually the remnants of Tiamat's crust that survived the explosion.
The host of Wisdom Teachings also discusses the possibility that there was once life on Mars. There are a number of factors that make Mars a prime candidate for life, such as its proximity to the sun and the presence of water. However, the host acknowledges that there is no direct evidence that life ever existed on Mars.
Throughout the episode, there are also references to other ancient myths and legends that may provide additional support for the Exploded Planet Hypothesis. For example, the host talks about the Babylonian creation myth, which features a god named Marduk who destroys the planet Tiamat. The host suggests that this myth may have been based on real events that occurred in our solar system billions of years ago.
As with all episodes of Wisdom Teachings, this one is filled with fascinating information and intriguing theories. Whether or not you buy into the Exploded Planet Hypothesis, you'll come away with a better understanding of the mysteries of the universe and the history of our own planet. So check out "Mars & The Exploded Planet Hypothesis" and see what you think!
