So since 1984, he's been looking into this.
He's connected the dots.
And I have to say that I think he's figured it out.
The Xenon-129 anomaly indicates a massive thermonuclear detonation in Mars' past, so powerful that it completely ignited the atmosphere and destroyed the life on that planet.
So we can get into the details, but that's basically it in a nutshell.
No.
Oh, well, it might have.
Yeah.
But destroying the atmosphere is an entirely different thing.
Okay.
The scar on Mars and all that debris, yeah, that would have been a bad day or two or a hundred on Mars, for sure.
I wouldn't want to be there for any of that.
So how do we know, why would we think that xenon-129 has anything to do with this?
I mean, why is that indicative of thermonuclear detonation?
Well, xenon-129, not only does it occur naturally, but it does occur in supernova, but it also occurs in very specific thermonuclear detonations.
And the quantity that is produced, that ratio of xenon-129 to xenon-132, you can get by detonating a thermonuclear weapon that is encased with thorium.
And on Mars, there are three large thorium irradiated hotspots.
that don't have any craters or any volcanoes or anything of significance letting you know that anything happened there.
Meaning to say that these were likely airbursts like we had in World War II, Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
There was no craters there, but there was massive nuclear devastation there.
