Earth has life thanks to the planet Theia rushed in

Scientists have found evidence that the big Theia planet event with Mars plunges into the earth, begins life and creates the Moon is real.

In the paper, it was published in the scientific journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, a group of scientists from the University of Bristol (UK) claiming that life on Earth originated earlier than we ever thought of 100 million years, ie 3.9 billion years ago instead of 3.8 billion years as some previous studies.

To find the oldest common ancestor of earth creatures, the team of scientists used molecular data from 29 genes of 102 different species of living organisms, refining with data of nine fossil forms to search for. the first unicellular creature.

The results showed that this first organism was born about 3.9 billion years ago after hundreds of millions of years of embryonic development of the earth. are 3.4 million year old microorganisms discovered in Western Australia. However, there were earlier signs of carbon dating to 4.1 billion years. Pristine carbon is known as the initial material to form "life building blocks" , like what NASA found at the bottom of the 3 billion year old lake in Mars.

The team claims that the series of miraculous reactions to the embryonic earth's first organism stem from a horrifying planetary collision: Theia's "hypothetical planet" is real. Theia is about the same size as Mars, and has hit Earth 4.45 billion years ago.

Theia crumbled, its material mixed into the earth and changed our planet forever. Many fragments from the collision shot up Earth's orbit, forming a giant rock cloud. This cloud then settles down and coalesces into the moon. That's why the results of moonstone analysis show that it shares similar materials to the earth. Theia in Greek mythology is the titanium that gave birth to the moon goddess Selene.

In the article in The Conversation, Holly Betts, a paleontologist at Bristol University, member of the research team said they will continue to refine the results as people find more. Other ancient fossil evidence. They hope this research will shed more light on a period of primitive history with many mysteries.
