But the statement offered another confirmation that the Russian military is actively scouring the seabed for evidence that might shed light on its collision theory.

Collision theory treats reacting molecules as hard spheres colliding with one another; this theory neglects entropy changes, since it assumes that the collision between molecules are completely elastic.

In the collision theory of the moon's formation, the impact occurred after the earth's core was formed, and only iron-poor material closer to the surface was ejected into orbit.
24.
Most experts ridicule the collision theory, saying that a foreign submarine wouldn't have been able to limp away, and point at the torpedo malfunction as the most plausible cause.
25.
The Russian navy favored the collision theory shortly after the disaster, blaming a Western submarine, but most experts have pointed at a flaw in the torpedo as the most plausible cause.
26.
Scientists believe the collision theory also explains why the moon contains so few " volatiles "-- chemicals that easily evaporate, such as water-- because the heat from the impact vaporized them.

Fueling the collision theory of ring formation was Cassini's rapid discovery of high concentrations of debris in the large gap between Saturn's two widest rings and within one of the narrow outermost hoops.
29.
"' Collision theory "'is a theory proposed independently by Max Trautz in 1916 and William Lewis in 1918, that qualitatively explains how chemical reactions occur and why reaction rates differ for different reactions.
30.
But Dr . H . Jay Melosh, a professor of planetary sciences at the University of Arizona, said that the age of the zircon crystal did not pose a problem for the collision theory.
