And TAB is actually more willing to entertain this idea than the non-collision options.
But he also said that there's been a lot of computer simulations that just don't support that our Earth would have been stable.
spinning that fast enough to do that and still have like the Earth-Moon system we have today.
So this brings us to why scientists think the most likely Ceres events was that Theia, this early proto-planet, smashes into Earth and makes the moon.
Well, I mean, we were still a proto-planet ourself, you know, like it was still that roller derby.
All these things were happening.
We were getting pummeled by like asteroids.
So baby Earth was like, no, just more of the same.
So scientists think that Theia was possibly Mars size due again to computer simulations.
But of course, there's like debate over that.
The exact size, the speed, if there were more objects than Theia, what angle Theia or maybe these other objects came in at.
