Imagine if the reason we have water—and all those awkward beach days—is because our planet had a cosmic fender-bender! Researchers at the University of Bern propose that a collision with a Mars-sized planet billions of years ago might have delivered water and other essential compounds to Earth. It’s a wild thought, isn’t it?
Just think about it: without that galactic smack, we might still be living in a dry, lifeless rock! Who knew that the origins of life could be traced back to such an explosive event? Next time you sip a refreshing drink, you can thank an ancient game of interplanetary bumper cars!
What do you think life would be like without water?
