I don't think the EPH specifically predicted anything about Xe-129. If it is an explosion product, however, it doesn't provide a very good test between the...

TVF notes some of the most successful predictions: "One way the EPH has distinguished itself from competitive theories is in predicting that many comets and...
The bulk of the mass would be vaporized, leaving only a tiny fraction remaining as solids, at least according to TVF. I think he cites some laboratory studies...

No, two planet sized bodies would not attract each other and cause a collision. Their gravitational spheres of influence would compete until they went into...

Yes, gravitational influence decreases with distance. So? Two like-sized objects still won't collide unless they are on trajectories leading to a direct hit,...
No, science is about rejecting hypotheses, not retrofitting new data into a hypothesis that is constantly surprised by new data. The fact that the solar nebula...
