“Your speculation, in fact, many people in the astronomy community used to speculate like this.”

Lang Tongguang nodded when he heard Fang Yuan’s speculation and continued to explain: “At the beginning, I thought it was small The planetary belt was originally formed by one or several planets, which were split and formed under the influence of some external factors.

“However, after calculation, it was found that the total mass of these asteroids is larger than that of the moon. It is small, so it is not enough to form a planet. Later, this hypothesis was slowly not recognized by most astronomers.

“Astronomical circles now believe that the asteroid belt is formed by some rock fragments that formed Early-Stage in the solar system. Because of Jupiter’s domineering gravity, it cannot be aggregated into planets.

“However, This statement is actually a speculation, no one knows what the truth is. The age of the solar system is 5 billion years. In such a long time, no one knows what has happened.

“If the microbes in this meteorite are really microbes native to the solar system, maybe they will give a new answer.”

Fang Yuan listened to Lang Tongguang’s explanation and thought about it. I asked: “The total mass of the asteroid belt is so small?”

“Yes, the total mass of the asteroid belt now is not as large as the mass of the moon.” Lang Tongguang confirmed again.

“So, my guess is completely impossible?” Fang Yuan frowned and thought.

Lang Tongguang replied after thinking for a moment: “It is not entirely impossible. According to the current research on the asteroid belt in the astronomy community, it is believed that the formation of Early-Stage in the solar system, the mass of the asteroid belt, and Earth Almost. It gradually decreased in the later evolution process.

“After all, the volume and mass of the stars in the asteroid belt are too small, and they are easily affected by the gravitational force of other stars. .

“Jupiter is a very domineering planet, more than a thousand times the volume of Earth.

“In the solar system, in addition to Jupiter, Earth, fire star, etc. The total mass of the planets is less than half that of Jupiter.

“Everyone should know that in the solar system, the mass of the sun accounts for 99.86% of the total mass of the solar system. It is conceivable that almost all the mass in the solar system is in the sun.

“However, the existence of Jupiter makes the center of mass of the solar system not inside the sun, but is pulled out of the sun.

“Let’s put it this way. Jupiter may even become a star if its mass is greater.

“So, Jupiter’s gravity is very domineering, pulling the stars in the asteroid belt, Prevent them from forming planets. “

Lang Tongguang went on to explain: “However, it can also be seen from this point that the stars in the asteroid belt are easily affected by other planets due to their small mass.

“In a few billion years, there will be asteroids captured by other stars continuously, and the mass will be continuously reduced.

“According to research, early formation in the solar system -Stage, the mass of the asteroid belt is similar to that of Earth.

“Therefore, the probability of an earth-like planet in the orbit of the asteroid belt still exists.

“However, no more evidence has been found to prove this point. , All speculations are just hypotheses. “

Everyone discussed the evolution of the asteroid belt.

After that, they turned their attention back to the microbes of the meteorite.

Fang Yuan pointed out Looking at the five-meter-diameter meteorite in front of him, he asked: “Professor Lang, can you know where this meteorite comes from through analysis? “

Lang Tongguang answered patiently: “In fact, before we came, we had checked the relevant information and knew the original orbital data of this meteorite. Before approaching Earth, its orbit was indeed near the asteroid belt.

“It is certain that this meteorite was indeed part of the asteroid belt. However, its orbit is a bit offset. Before entering the asteroid belt, it is hard to say whether it came from other galaxies. “

He said that, paused, pointing to a location on the meteorite, and said: “Look here, there are cracks here.

“From the cracks It can be seen that this meteorite was originally not so small, but it was hit and shattered into many pieces. This is one of them.

“Perhaps, its orbit has changed because of this impact.

“In short, based on the current known information, it is still not certain that it is from the solar system. Or other galaxies.

“If you want to make a choice, I hope it comes from another galaxy.”

After Lang Tongguang finished speaking, he was sighed insignificantly.

“Why?” Fang Yuan asked curiously.

“If this meteorite is really native to the solar system, then your previous guess may be true. If that is the case, then the fate of the solar system is too rough.” Lang Tongguang exclaimed.

When everyone heard his explanation, they all understood what he meant.

According to Fang Yuan’s guess, there was once an earth-like planet near the orbit of the asteroid belt.

On this terrestrial planet, there is a kind of life, even an intelligent species.

However, in the end this terrestrial planet shattered into 600,000 pieces. How was this terrifying event caused?

If this guess is true.

That shows that mankind is not the first civilization of the solar system. There was a civilization before mankind, but because of a terrifying event, it was destroyed in the long river of history.

Now, mankind faces the same fate.

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and asked: “Professor Lang, will the collision between Earth and Star Beast world burst into hundreds of thousands of pieces?”

“This… …That is beyond the scope of knowledge I know, and I can’t give an answer.” Lang Tongguang slowly shook his head.

This question is indeed beyond the scope of astronomy. It has already involved the four-dimensional field, and it is indeed not something he can answer.

Fang Yuan thought of another possibility.

If there used to be an earth-like planet near the orbit of the asteroid belt, and there was a civilization on it.

In the end, this terrestrial planet shattered into hundreds of thousands of pieces, as if it had collided with other planets.

If this guess is true, what is this so-called collision?

Now Earth and Star Beast world are colliding in the fourth dimension. If they collide, what will happen?

Eve heard what Fang Yuan meant, frowned and said, “It should be impossible. The collision between Earth and Star Beast world is so slow, and it will take twenty years to completely collide together. So slow. Even if they collide with each other, they won’t explode, right?”

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, “That’s not necessarily true. The collision between Earth and Star Beast world seems to happen very slowly, but Don’t ignore one thing. The three-dimensional distance between Earth and Star Beast world is 1,000 light-years.

“At such a distance, in several decades of collision, do you still think the collision is not intense? “

Eve was stunned when he heard this thought.
