TL;DR Summary

A new study proposes that remnants of the ancient planet Theia, which collided with Earth billions of years ago and formed the moon, may still exist buried within Earth's mantle. These remnants, in the form of molten slabs, could have embedded themselves in Earth's mantle after impact and solidified, creating two massive blobs known as large low-velocity provinces (LLVPs) that are located deep within the Earth. The study provides additional support for the giant-impact hypothesis and offers a potential explanation for the origins of the LLVPs, which have remained a mystery to scientists. However, the theory is still a hypothesis and requires further research and investigation.
