Not to say it's not impossible, but isn't your hypothesis much less plausible than the alternative?

- grishka 5y agoWhy is it much less plausible? It's important to explore alternate possibilities when we aren't 100% sure of something. For way too long we've thought that Earth was the center of the solar system and the universe, only to later find out that it's just one of the planets in one of zillions of star systems. Also I'm somehow pretty sure JWST would change our understanding of the universe. (we'll see in a year how well this comment ages)
- 8note 5y agoLess plausible since we know what kind of conditions asteroids go through, along with what conditions things outside of a rock in space close to the sun would go through

- grishka 5y ago> age of the universe We'll see how this goes when JWST begins its observations. And then what's a LOT of time to a human is a blip on the cosmic scale.
