According to main stream scientists a planet crashed into the earth, and then again which created the moon. Now assuming this is true could that planet be planet x? If so, it's crashed into the earth twice, so when's it gonna do it again?



Would post a link to the theory but I'm on my phone.
Your thoughts?

Dear God! Both of you are wrong!

There is no Planet X and there will never be a Planet X.

Dear God... You didn't even took the time to look at the link I posted, did you ?

You would have found my answer pretty well backed up with seemingly solid arguments and evidence in favor.

No, what is commonly referred to as "planet X" is actually Eris, one of many smaller bodies found in the Kuiper belt. the object that was hypothesized to have crashed into Earth and created the moon eventually is called Theia and it was roughly 1/2 the size of Earth (more or less the size of mars). It is called the giant impact hypothesis.

If the moon formed after a collision between Earth and planet X than chances are Planet X was destroyed and its debris became part of the moon. It wouldn't have survived in tact and certainly wouldn't be lurking around the Solar System waiting to hit us again.

Here's a lovely video about the early solar system, especially focusing on the Giant Impact Hypothesis.

Here's another video that goes into more detail, explaining it pretty succinctly.

(Or you can just read the nice wiki article linked above.)
