There may have been other threads, wondering about the mystery of Venus. Or to sum up: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/feature...enus/venus.html There seems to be some explaning to do here for the boldface. We have some tidal - gravity lock mechanism that may have caused that rotation stop, but we may need a asteroid impact to slow down the planet first. There may have been a runaway greenhouse gas mechanism for the extreme temperature but what can cause a complete resurfacing of the planet? Acne redecorating limited? I figured out an idea that may logically account for all four of those enigmatic features. But it requires some thinking out of the box. Anybody ready for debunking me?
