Of course not a hypotheses. It's a belief based on evidence. It's like our belief that our heart will take the next beat.*
Apologies that you didn't understand. I said no such thing.*
"So how did carbon monoxide form on Pluto? Walter T. Brown of the*Center for Scientific Creation*gave an answer today. According to theHydroplate Theory, all trans-Neptunian objects, like all asteroids, comets, and meteoroids, formed from water, rock and mud from earth. A breakout of a subcrustal ocean about fifty miles below ground threw out vast amounts of this material – perhaps as much as four percent of the mass of the earth. The mud and rock included uprooted trees and shrubs from the forests of the early earth.
"Pluto and its largest moon Charon formed when a swarm of water, rock and mud*accreted*to form these two objects. All such accretions released kinetic energy as heat. The heat on Pluto (and on Charon) eventually caused “slushy geysers” to erupt to the surface. Some of these geysers produced the 3500-meter (11,000-foot) mountains at Pluto’s equator.
"But the heat, says Brown,*also*burned the uprooted trees, shrubs, and other vegetable matter that accreted with the other matter (water, rock and mud) to form Pluto. And of course, that burning needed oxygen. Oxygen came from one or both of two sources. Either it escaped from earth with the solids and liquids, or formed when water vapor dissociated in the sunlight of the inner solar system. But burning in a confined space yielded carbon monoxide, not carbon dioxide.
"When that gas broke out onto the surface (on Tombaugh Regio), it condensed, then fell as rain into a basin in the heart shape. Then it froze. The published photo shows contours of ever-increasing amounts of carbon monoxide as one approaches the center of the lake. One would expect precisely that when looking down on a lake; the contours in fact show its depth.
"As of the time of posting, the*New Horizonscontrol and investigation teams have*not*tried to explain the carbon monoxide. They merely describe it. How they will try to explain it, the world must wait and see."
