234: Chapter 234: The Eight Planets Originated from the Sun Itself!

"Super prehistoric civilization?" Xiaoyu was instantly left speechless by this statement. "Big Brother, this..."

In the live stream, a flood of comments surged across the screen.

"??????"

"Holy crap, what did I just hear? A super civilization?"

"Too much information, brain overload!"

"Big Brother, are you sure this isn't the sci-fi channel tonight?"

"..."

At the National Astronomical Observatory, the conference room fell into a sudden, dead silence.

Director Wang Weiguo frowned deeply. "This..."

Had he not previously verified the value of the J-Sphere and Formula J, he would have long since dismissed all the researchers and left.

"Isn't this too exaggerated?"

Several young researchers nearby looked on with faces full of doubt.

"This is simply too irresponsible!" one bespectacled researcher couldn't help but rebuke angrily.

"Exactly. The angular momentum problem hasn't even been solved yet, and he's already jumping to the civilization level. The logical leap is too great, and it lacks evidence."

Another researcher echoed, full of resistance toward pseudoscience!

Professor Zhang Qinian watched his colleagues' excited reactions and couldn't help but offer a wry smile.

This was nothing. If they had heard about how one's destiny could be attributed to quantum delayed choice, he feared that his statement today would still be considered too conservative!

He didn't speak, only raised his hand to quiet everyone down so they could continue listening.

In the villa living room, Jiang Zhe looked at Xiaoyu's face, his lips curling into a smile. "And this hypothesis, Big Brother calls it: The Solar Fission Hypothesis."

"As the name implies, I believe that all the planets in our Solar System were not originally formed by the slow accretion and condensation of nebular material."

"They are more likely..."

He paused for 2.5 seconds to let Xiaoyu fully absorb the concept before continuing:

"Earth, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus, Mercury, Saturn—they were all cast out by the young Sun! Because it was rotating too fast, it flung them out from itself, much like scattering water droplets!"

As these words fell, in the History Staff Quarters, Old Chen, Old Liu, and the others sat up straight instantly, their faces filled with disbelief.

In the living room of Qingfeng Temple.

"Pfft!" Zheng Ming almost choked on his black tea. His fists clenched, and even the veins on his forehead were faintly throbbing. "I knew it, I knew it. I originally thought that since he obtained a postdoctoral degree, he might be a bit more normal and talk about some profound concepts and theories that people could believe. As it turns out, today is even more outrageous!"

"If he talked about sci-fi, I wouldn't have the knowledge to judge. But if he talks about something slightly more practical... the Sun throwing planets out??"

"Why doesn't he say the Moon is Pangu's glasses???"

Beside him, Fang Xu's expression also shifted from previous appreciation to astonishment and skepticism. "This tone is truly too bold; even the astronomers in my think tank wouldn't dare say this."

"From the perspective of astrophysics, for the Sun's mass and gravity to throw out planets, the initial angular momentum would need to be unimaginably large, and the subsequent dynamics..."

"This is simply!!!"

"Fantasy!!!"

Celestial Master Zhang, however, was unbothered and said slowly, "Everyone, calm down. Is the breath of creation between heaven and earth something that mere human arguments can fully fathom?"

"What he says is certainly earth-shattering, but the Great Dao is simple. It even makes me, a Taoist, vaguely approve. Perhaps there is some truth of the Great Dao within it!"

At this, Zheng Ming and Fang Xu finally calmed down.

In Principal Fu's office, Ren Xiaoyao said with a bewildered face, "Thrown out?"

The mere thought of this image was too horrifying; he found it unbelievable!

Even Old Yu, who had always had great confidence in Jiang Zhe, was stunned into silence at this moment.

Inside the professors' building at Huaqing University, in Professor Ouyang's dormitory.

On the large bed, Professor Ouyang, who had been sleeping soundly, felt his eyebrows twitch slightly upon hearing this sentence in his sleep, and a smile unconsciously curled the corner of his lips.

On the big screen, in the living room.

Jiang Zhe looked at Xiaoyu's expression of disbelief, said nothing, and picked up his tablet to bring up a simulation image.

"Yes, Xiaoyu, the planets were indeed thrown out by the Sun."

"Just like this!"

He pointed the screen at Xiaoyu, showing a primitive Sun rotating at super-high speed. The equator bulged due to centrifugal force, and pairs of incandescent matter were flung out from both sides of the Sun. Those two masses began to orbit the Sun.

"In Big Brother's Solar Fission Hypothesis, the young Sun was not as lazy as it is today; it, like many stars, may have had a very fast rotation speed!"

"For example, Beta Pictoris, 27 light-years away from us, or T Tauri stars, possessed super-high rotation speeds in their early stages, with powerful centrifugal force countering gravity, ultimately making it easier for matter in the star's equatorial region to be ejected."

On screen, the rotation speeds of these two stars were clearly super fast, dozens or even hundreds of times faster than today's Sun!

He put down the tablet and nodded slightly.

"And Big Brother's hypothesis can beautifully explain at least two core problems."

"First, the angular momentum problem that has plagued astronomy for centuries."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhe held up a finger with a serious face.

"If the Sun was indeed rotating at high speed when it was young—just like the fast-rotating stars you saw just now—then it carried a massive amount of angular momentum itself."

"Then, the star began to throw out matter."

"Every time the Sun threw out a mass of matter, it was equivalent to throwing away part of the angular momentum carried by that mass as well."

"The more the Sun threw out, the less angular momentum the Sun itself had left, and its rotation speed naturally slowed down."

He turned to Xiaoyu, then covered his own heart. "It's like Big Brother's heart, if two holes were broken in the upper and lower parts of Big Brother's heart."

"Then blood would spray out from the top and bottom as the heart contracted violently!"

"And the Sun, just like that initial heart, was spinning crazily, spraying out matter!"

Hearing this, the corner of Xiaoyu's mouth couldn't stop twitching. Who uses themselves as an example? Big Brother, I'm not that stupid!!!

"Eventually, when the Sun had thrown out enough matter to form the planets, its own angular momentum dropped to its current low level."

"And those ejected masses condensed into planets, carrying with them the huge amount of angular momentum they had inherited from the Sun!"

"So, the planets have high angular momentum, while the Sun's angular momentum is low—this is not a contradiction, but a natural result after distribution. In this way, everything makes sense."

Xiaoyu gasped in surprise; the dry and boring astronomy was actually quite novel in Big Brother's words!

Like countless viewers, she was instantly attracted by the mysteries of the Solar System.

At this moment, at the National Astronomical Observatory, the conference room was silent.

The researchers who had just been questioning now all stared fixedly at Jiang Zhe's demonstration and explanation on the screen, their faces full of shock and contemplation.

Director Wang subconsciously said, "This viewpoint, from the perspective of explaining angular momentum, is actually... so self-consistent!!!"

He felt an unexpected conceptual impact on the spot!

You must know, the astronomical community had been arguing about this for over three hundred years, and now, in one night, it was explained so novelly by Jiang Zhe!

Even if it were eventually proven wrong, this viewpoint was unique!

"Damn, I underestimated him!" The young researcher who had just questioned looked amazed. "It sounds like this was tailor-made for the Sun's angular momentum problem. Although the assumption is incredible, the logical chain itself is impeccable!!!"

"It's too bold, and too direct!" Another middle-aged researcher's eyes lit up. All previous feelings of resistance toward Jiang Zhe were instantly washed away, replaced by curiosity and appreciation.

Professor Zhang Qinian looked at his colleagues' changes. "Everyone, don't rush to conclusions. Little Jiang's viewpoints are always known for being cutting-edge and subversive; you must stay calm and keep an open mind. This is just the beginning of a hypothesis, otherwise, you might have your cognition shattered if you keep listening to his views!"

"Then that will be very interesting!" Director Wang and the other researchers looked at each other, disbelieving. Even so, they sat up straight, their expressions becoming serious.

Inside Qingfeng Temple.

Zheng Ming still wanted to complain, but was stopped by Fang Xu, who raised his hand abruptly and placed his index finger to his lips. "Quiet!"

His previous astonishment had also turned into curiosity.

"This viewpoint is starting to get interesting."

"He is not spouting nonsense with physics formulas, but constructing a brand-new set of initial conditions."

"The act of throwing out itself can indeed theoretically transfer angular momentum from the parent body to the child body."

"Although this initial condition itself is very special and incredible; from the perspective of explaining the angular momentum paradox alone, it provides us with a truth!"

Zheng Ming was stunned for a moment. "What, Fang Xu, are you saying he guessed right?"

"Not guessed right," Fang Xu shook his head seriously. "He proposed a possibility that, while extreme, is self-consistent."

"The key is that he dares to propose it, and proposes it so confidently."

"As for evidence, that is, of course, a question on another level; he cannot provide evidence, which only proves it is a cutting-edge hypothesis. We might as well listen to how he explains other unnatural phenomena first."

Zheng Ming finally suppressed his urge to refute and looked back at the big screen.

Xiaoyu was so intrigued by Jiang Zhe's explanation that she gasped and shook her head. "This is so interesting, Big Brother!"

"I didn't expect astronomy could be like this. It feels like I solved a difficult problem myself."

"By the way, Big Brother, besides angular momentum, what else can it explain?"

Jiang Zhe smiled slightly and held up a second finger. "Second, it can perfectly explain: why the eight planets of the Solar System all orbit on the same plane!"

He brought up a side-view diagram of the Solar System—the orbits of the eight planets overlapped into a thin line.

Viewed from the side, there was only the Sun in the very center, while the other planets were cut off on the upper and lower sides of the Sun, weirdly maintaining a single plane!

"If we follow the traditional accretion model, it is possible for planets to condense randomly anywhere in the nebula. Why do they all obediently line up on the same planetary disk line in the end?"

"Traditional theories require an extra assumption of a very flat protoplanetary disk, and require all matter to collide and accrete obediently within this disk to barely explain it."

"This in itself is an unnatural initial condition."

He slid his finger across the screen, switching to the animation simulating solar fission.

"But with my hypothesis, everything falls into place!"

"Because planetary matter was thrown out from the rapidly rotating solar equatorial plane!"

"And the direction of the Sun's greatest centrifugal force is the equatorial plane; therefore, all the ejected matter was mainly concentrated near the equatorial plane."

"After they were thrown out, they were instantly captured by the Sun's massive gravity, and began to condense and evolve on this plane. The resulting planets naturally ended up on the same plane—just like water droplets thrown from a spinning umbrella, the droplets are all on one plane!"

Xiaoyu watched the simulation animation and nodded repeatedly.

Big Brother's explanation was so intuitive that one couldn't pick any faults.

"Not only that,"

Without giving Xiaoyu a chance to speak, Jiang Zhe continued: "This can also explain the third unnatural phenomenon: why are the orbits of the eight planets all close to perfect circles?"

He nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the night sky outside the window. "If the planets were formed by natural accretion, then the planets' orbits around the Sun could be elliptical; they could also be very flat ellipses."

"But!"

"Looking at our Solar System, all planets have circular orbits!!"

"If we explain this circular orbit using the accretion hypothesis, it's very troublesome and requires many coincidences!"

"But in Big Brother's solar fission model, this is not a problem at all!"

Speaking to this point, Jiang Zhe turned his head, his gaze falling on Xiaoyu, and he said decisively: "In the Solar Fission Hypothesis, when matter is thrown out from the super-fast rotating solar equator, the initial velocity direction determines the shape of their orbits."

"In an ideally symmetrical ejection process, the planet's matter will naturally form a nearly circular orbit, which is actually the most natural and most likely result—because that is the most stable state."

At this point, he paused for 2.5 seconds, a meaningful smile appearing on his face. "Xiaoyu, when we humans send an artificial satellite into space, when the satellite is not severely disturbed by external forces, what shape is its trajectory around the Earth usually?"

As soon as this hint was given, it instantly left Xiaoyu, millions of viewers, and countless experts stunned and shocked.

Almost instantly, an answer that was simple to the extreme yet terrifyingly so emerged in everyone's mind.

If the eight planets were satellites, if they were initially launched from the Sun...

Then the eight planets would inevitably be like artificial satellites on Earth...

Once an artificial satellite enters space, it will inevitably be attracted by the Earth's gravity!!

Eventually, the motion trajectories of artificial satellites and the eight planets will inevitably form a regular...

"Circular motion!"
