That doesn't make any sense, Solaris isn't in Sonic 3 & Knuckles and the Super Emeralds aren't in Sonic '06. I wanna hear him out.

Most people believe the Echidnas made the Chaos Emeralds 4,000 years a go but the Gaia Manuscripts prooves the emeralds been around since the first Time of Awakening, so it could be possible the emeralds could of been a by-product of Dark and Light Gaia's conception.

However in White Space which is located outside of time itself, after the Modern Era there are these huge cogs that will only activate once Chaos Emeralds are fitted into them, so the Chaos Emeralds maybe alien to the very existance of Sonic's universe for all we know.
