Earth and Venus are the Same Size, so Why Doesn’t Venus Have a Magnetosphere?....

Two seconds apart with Velikovsky...

The real question is why do scientists think they have an explanation for everything?

Or for anything?

>> Why Doesn’t Venus Have a Magnetosphere?....

Terran privilege, of course. Earth-like planets have always exercised hegemony over Venus. #VenusMagnetosphereMatters

You guys are making this WAY too hard. God just MADE it that way! Imagine puny minds trying to reach the furthest reaches of the unsearchable, omniscient, infinite, eternal mind of “I AM”.

Rare Earth.

We may be on the only habitable planet in the Universe.

Another variable added to the mix. A human habitable planet, MUST be collided with a large sub body, of the precise elemental content.

Rock + Iron = Habitable = Earth

Yep. Just check out the estimated 100,000,000,000,000,000 stars so far discovered in the universe and you will see that there cannot be any other planet anywhere like Earth because there just aren’t enough stars in the universe ... /s

Of course, the Earth-Moon collision, as well a the origin of Earth’s core, are all theories and you know what happens to theories in time, right?


I didn't say there were no other Earth-like planets, I said they they are much rarer than people are led to believe.

How many planet sized objects develop in a solar system? And what are the odds that 2 would collide, and leave an Earth like planet? If we say it is 1/Billion (I believe it's far less likely), that means there would be a grand total of 250 in the Milky Way.

My point was that the media proclaims 'Earth-like' planets are common, that could not be further from the truth. Add the requirement for an Earth like moon to the Drake equation, and it completely changes the outcome.

Gee, what a stumper. It's almost as if they had different origins. :') Thanks BenLurkin .

Just how do you know all those assumptions of yours are correct when no astronomer knows? There could be many ways a planet could form without collisions and still have a nickle-iron core. Who said Drake was correct? They are just theories which are constantly evolving or otherwise changing, there are no absolutes, just guesses.

20 years ago you would have been laughed at to suggest in two decades hundreds of solar systems would be found with planets.

[PIF]

Yeah - amazing minds and all that. I didn’t want to go too far here with that, as half the people here would be very cross with me for suggesting anything outside of the ‘accepted’ status quo, or allow any new ideas to enter (even if the new ideas are 65 years old).

History, like climate change and science, is settled and fixed. Don’t even try to argue different. /s

Couldn’t afford that option as it only available on the XLT model.

[ransomnote]

Because Venus doesn’t have Chuck Norris.

[Oscar in Batangas]

Venus was a woman.

Women don’t have magnetospears

...or any other kind of spear

[dfwgator]

Venus was a woman.

A goddess on a mountain top

[minnesota_bound]

It needed the right stuff. Earth has it and Venus does not.
