<br />I remember hearing you and Richard Hoagland talk on Coast to Coast AM about the spherules that the MER rovers have been finding, and that they might be fragments from a planetary explosion. Would you please elaborate on this a bit? Data, predictions, etc.?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">It is hard to make perfect spherules at rest in a gravity field because gravity tends to flatten things. But it is easy to make spherules in free fall.

We have massive evidence that half of Mars was altered by a major external explosion event. See "The exploided planet hypothesis -- 2000" at metaresearch.org/solar%20system/eph/eph2000.asp
The spherules would be a natural by-product of impacts on Mars from this explosion -- zillions of melted droplets hurled for great distances, where they condensed and solidified before falling again to the ground.

I presently expect my preliminary comparison of rover data and the EPH to appear in our March 15 issue of the <i>Meta Research Bulletin</i>. [See metaresearch.org/store/advanced/default.asp
for subscription information.] But I have a space problem, and am still unsure what will be deferred from that issue until June 15. I'm leaning toward keeping the rover article in the March issue because of its timliness. -|Tom|-
