I have wondered for years now why scientists have not brought up the possibility that the planets come from the sun itself. A zoomed in video clip of the sun will show you that whatever the thing is made up of, it certainly is covered with something extremely hot and very similar to molten lava... much like the center of our planet. Constant explosions occur on the surface of the sun, while the magma we're sitting on explodes in the same manner from time to time, bursting through our earth's crust. Is it possible that the sun had one really big explosion, setting loose a small chunk of itself into orbit that would later cool down (creating the planet's crust) as it spun away? And, if this is the case, then are all of the planets slowly spinning out of orbit away from the sun? It seems to make sense, since we know that we DO orbit the sun, the sun IS comprised of a LOT of hot stuff, and we seem to be sitting on top of very similar hot stuff. The idea that all these planets just fell into place and started to spin around the sun AFTER a solar system sized explosion or super nova or whatever just doesn't seem to make sense.

Now for all you science geeks out there ready to rip me a new one for not being competent enough to understand all of the scientific jargain used in explaining the creation of our solar system, just keep this in mind: I'm just your average lay person looking at what I see and coming to a conclusion based on what I know for a fact. The sun is hot, and the center of our planet is hot. The sun constantly explodes, and our planet occasionally explodes. The similarities between the sun and the earth compell me to believe that they were at one point the same entity. Im not saying that scientists are completely off in the creation theory, but I'm almost certain they are wrong about where the planets themselves come from.

The Sun isn't made of lava; if it were, it would be a HECK of a lot denser. Besides, lava is silicates, and the Sun's spectral signature shows it has very little silicates. It's mostly made of hydrogen.Serendi ^pod ous 15:36, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
