Spanish translation:hipótesis de impacto entre la proto-Tierra y Tea
Explanation:
This is the only thing I can think of which could be related to the elemental make-up of asteroids (it is thought that if asteroids have a composition similar to the Earth's, that proves the Theia hypothesis).

But I concur with Dlyons above in asking whether "SETI hypothesis" could be meant (although I fail to see the link with asteroid make-up).

"I read the Canup paper about a year ago and I would have remembered any totally crazy result like your claim of a "collision of 10^24 J," for the proto-Earth-Theia impact."
