Mystic Wanderer, great mystic you always hit on point if we were to cross this threshold I don't think it would end very well pretty much all atoms on the earth would be charged to such extent it would turn all the atoms on earth nuclear Great weed all be turnt into dust atleast it would be Quick...
The history of Earth concerns the development of the planet Earth from its formation to the present day. Nearly all branches of natural science have contributed to the understanding of the main events of the Earth's past. The age of Earth is approximately one-third of the age of the universe. An immense amount of biological and geological change has occurred in that time span. Earth formed around 4.54 billion years ago[3][4][5] by accretion from the solar nebula. Volcanic outgassing probably created the primordial atmosphere, but it contained almost no oxygen and would have been toxic to humans and most modern life. Much of the Earth was molten because of frequent collisions with other bodies which led to extreme volcanism. One very large collision is thought to have been responsible for tilting the Earth at an angle and forming the Moon. Over time, the planet cooled and formed a solid crust, allowing liquid water to exist on the surface.
Okay, so the solid crust allowed liquid water to exist on the Earth's surface. But, where did the water come from?
The past theory has been that comets hit the earth and their ice melted over the land. But, recently the study of the composition of comets has shown that they are not the celestial snowballs they were once believed to be.
Our little white @wrabbit2000 told me during a private message:
The recent interceptions of comets in deep space and closer examination of others have shown a shockingly SMALL degree of water and NO water at all in some, where they had believed a comet to often be little more than a big rocky snow ball. Now whether its a snowball or rock isn't THAT important in the grand scheme of things ...until you ask yourself a follow-on question. If comets are proving to be very lacking in water ...then where did our water come from?
Good question! Anyone have any theories?
I came across this article that talks about where our water on Earth came from and thought I'd update the thread:
Scientists May Have Discovered The Origin of Earth's Water

I actually found an article about rocky planets having water on them and that is why they were looking for rocky planets because it was an indication of life. That was around three or four years ago. This article actually clarifies how it works which is very interesting. The Russians noticed that the rocks deep in the earth produced water, they were stumped as to how the rock was doing that and weren't exactly sure how it worked. That Russian finding is what opened up our eyes to planets rock being able to form water.
I had some black rock I took in and I used a propane torch to see if I could melt it. It turned to liquid and ashlike substance. I have no clue what kind of rock it is, I thought it might have been a silver ore at first. I melted it on an old silver spoon, maybe the silver of the spoon acted as some sort of catalyst or something.
well deserved!
atleast it would be Quick...
