As two massive objects pass near each other, gravitational forces induce dramatic physical changesdecompressing, melting, stripping material away, and even annihilating the smaller object. You can do a lot of physics and chemistry on objects in the solar system without even touching them.
More Quotes from Quentin Williams:
It's like uncorking the world's most carbonated beverage. What happens when a planet gets decompressed by 50 percent is something we don't understand very well as this stage, but it can shift the chemistry and physics all over the place.Quentin Williams
