what is the dynamic encounter theory???

Question

It is a theory of the origin of the earth.

Answer 1

The dynamic encounter theory is the theory for the historical origin of the planets as a result of a near collision of the sun and another star.
This theory was first proposed by Georges Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707-1788), director of the royal botanical collection in Paris. Later Buffon disassociated himself from his own views, affirming (in an echo of Galileo) that he held to the literal Mosaic account and would give up his theory of the formation of the planets, which had been only "a purely philosophical supposition" (i.e., a thought experiment). These statements were probably ironic, since Buffon's later efforts continued his former work.
