[quote:JustmeTX:MV81MzU4OTU4Xzk4OTMyMTU3X0Y0MjI1RERB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 53549423:MV81MzU4OTU4Xzk4OTMxNzY1XzI3MzlCQzY5] I guess earth just accreates mass from the solar wind. Trapping ions in it's magnetic field and distributing the mass onto the surface. I guess the oceans are quite new too, probably about the same time as complex life around 500M.y.a [/quote] Not sure how much that amounts to, but yes, helium nuclei (alpha particles), bombard the Earth constantly. There was some spontaneous atomic decay theory for heavy water I think it was, that they tested when I was a kid, and they had to do the experiments in a place with less Alpha particle bombardment than the surface of the Earth. So they went down a couple miles deep into a salt mine below Lake Erie. Even down there, they were still getting hammered with alpha particles, but not so many that they could not filter them from the experimental results by calculation. There was a swimming pool of water they built down there, and lined it with photocell detectors to detect the energy flash from a spontaneous atomic decomposition. If an alpha particle played a role in the decomposition, they could detect this signature on the photocells and filter those occurrences from the results. (Is it normal for a 10 year old kid to read about this stuff?) [/quote]
