Universe is a computer simulation.
None of space is real.

What if…the planets in our solar system….are all the same planet…in different stages of its life!?
Mercury - newly born… Venus - maturing… earth - alive in prime….mars-dying… asteroid belt - disintegrated/dead….Jupiter - gravity reforming light elements, larger pieces as moons…..Saturn - moons disintegrate, become rings, core becomes more dense…Uranus - dying gas giant…..Pluto - dead

No, that doesn't work at all, I'm afraid.
Mercury is not newly born -- in fact, there's a lot of craters on it and on Venus and all the other planets.

Different sizes, shapes, compositions, atmosphere, colours, orbits, angular moments, magnetic fields, electrostatic effects, to name a few points of difference.
Not to mention that they are all gravitationally linked, physically distant and affect each other in more ways than reflected light.

maybe.. but do you really know that it really doesnt? lol

how about
newly born, without a magnetic field or atmosphere...like a volcanic hard crust moon
hence being unprotected against meteors
and with venus..its growing an atmosphere
ie...just been hit by a comet
once again just saying
Mercury has a very tenuous and highly variable atmosphere (surface-bound exosphere) containing hydrogen, helium, oxygen, sodium, calcium, potassium and water vapor, with a combined pressure level of about 10−14 bar (1 nPa).[2] The exospheric species originate either from the Solar wind or from the planetary crust. Solar light pushes the atmospheric gases away from the Sun, creating a comet-like tail behind the planet.
Despite its small size and slow 59-day-long rotation, Mercury has a significant, and apparently global, magnetic field. According to measurements taken by Mariner 10, it is about 1.1% as strong as the Earth’s. The magnetic field strength at the Mercurian equator is about 300 nT.[63][64] Like that of Earth, Mercury's magnetic field is dipolar.[62] Unlike Earth, Mercury's poles are nearly aligned with the planet's spin axis.[65] Measurements from both the Mariner 10 and MESSENGER space probes have indicated that the strength and shape of the magnetic field are stable.[65]

I also wonder about the logic of a disintegrated dead planet (the asteroid belt) doing the jump from rubble back to a gas giant (Jupiter) in the middle. How does this form anything like a sequence?
Additionally, the true sizes and spacings of the planets are not actually anything like in this image.
