Jupiter and Saturn are regular rocky planets surrounded by an ice shell that is in turn cloaked by debris from a crash of early planets; looking at evidence in the era of Juno and Cassini

Abstract:

A model of planet formation is hereby submitted for consideration. Juno results have pointed to Jupiter being very different from what was expected, and yet the same initial models are still the only ones being considered. A different, competing model could greatly increase our understanding of Jupiter, Saturn and other planets.

Overview of the Mass Vortex Theory model of planet formation: A large swath of iron atoms (with lighter atoms accreted around it) leaves the flow of the protostar disk when it has too much inertia to follow the curved pathway of the Vortex (cyclonic separation). When it leaves the Vortex, this aggregate object starts to spin. Iron in space is below the Fermi temperature, so it is magnetic. When it starts to spin, an induced electric field is produced. This electric field provides the means for atoms to form molecules which causes the whole body to rapidly compact. There are 3 basic densities of compacted molecules: iron/metal in the core, heavier rocky material (mantle), and lighter rocky molecules (crust); they compact at different speeds. Steam escapes into any spaces between layers, and a gust of vapors rises from the hot surface. Cold space interacts with the gust of vapor to freeze it, forming an ice shell around the planet that traps inert gases and additional vapor that did not freeze. The non frozen vapor condenses and drops to the surface to form an ocean covering the surface of the crust.

The inner planets lost their ice shells due to different causes beyond the scope of this presentation. The outer planets still have their ice shells; however, a crash of two planets caused them to become covered with debris. Composition analysis of Jupiter gases and nanograins above Saturn’s surface and other features provide supporting evidence.

Multiple independent lines of evidence are compiled to support the claims made above including research from others and original research. For example, gravity harmonics analysis supports rigid-body rotation under the external gases on Jupiter and Saturn, published infrared research reveals Jupiter’s ice shell at the poles. Bulk density profiles for Jupiter and Saturn respectively are shown to fit within the known mass density of each respective planet.

Many observations work together to validate the Mass Vortex model of planet formation.
