Thread: If there was another planet would you go?

I'd go for the snorkeling.

That's like being marooned on a deserted island with 1 million dollars. You can't spend it where it's not valuable. And as Raetin mentioned, diamond, while sparkly.. would make for a horrible place to live on.

What about food? Diamond dust for breakfast, lunch, dinner?

gravity would make you super buff

I would probably check things out there if i could for a week. U could atleast see space while ur moving to that place, that alone would be nice to experience. But live there if it's basicly the same as earth? Don't think so..

Having just seen Ridley Scott's Prometheus, I might be inclined to give it a little time.

Now, if you asked me if I wanted to be among the first civilian colonists on the moon, well that's a different story.

Also, what does the spin on a large planet have to do with living longer. I would think due to the sudden change of planets, it would make life much more difficult.

by passing satellites past it we can calculate its weight and look at light spectrums from the planet. Mars is 0.15 times earths volume but 0.1 times earths mass, the same could be applied to this 10 times bigger planet. Its all astrophysics.

Second question; life wouldn't change, as we move at the same speed as the planet we are on you wouldn't notice.
You would live longer than people on earth because of time dilation. In space the faster the go or the heavier a planet the more time is stretched, So while we would feel like we lived a hundred years people on earth would have seen us live 105 years

The spin on that planet would be insane, also you wouldn't want to get near the neutron star. Here's a fun fact "Neutron stars crush half a million times more mass than Earth into a sphere no larger than Brooklyn, United States."
"the surface gravity of a neutron star is 10,000,000,000 times that of earth"
"to fly away from the surface of a neutron star would require a rocket that goes 100,000 km/s"

Agreed. And I just saw it too. Though I think I need to see it again, some stuff confused me. Plus I'm going deaf and couldn't hear everything they said.

So the conclusion here is that if people wanted to go to another planet, they would just be mocked with science, making the thread pointless. Lol, isn't this cute. Almost thought this was ED for a moment.

A poll would've been nice, so people can just vote and unsubscribe

[On Topic="On Topic"] I wouldn't mind going to another planet, if it included internet.... and some kind of inter-dimensional Router for Earth. [/On Topic]

Inter-dimensional Internet? What service provider do you know of could possibly pull something like that off without you squandering the wealth of the world to keep up with monthly charges?

There's not enough extended discussion logic in your post, which makes you sound like an ungrounded idealist. Similar to the author. The only idealism to be tolerated on the new planet should exclusively be about levee architecture.

Didn't think the inter-dimensional internet would be taken so seriously, but okay.

Imagine getting linked up to the wrong planet. Lol the awkward moment when you webcam with an alien.

If it was a female alien that had a race that could eradicate mankind easily, but still favored my existence, there goes my funding.

Oh, and Tsoukalos would become the new ruler. I can see it now!

I hope people know I'm joking.

Dont know if you are joking or you didn't get that he was joking.

Of course, it's Jeff dude.

Would be great owning a huge piece of beautifull land full of exotic animals and trees an rolling green hills with soft grass and a sky which contained two suns. Imagine how nice and calm that would be. Also would be cool if all the planets life was connected through a huge neural network, so you could even acces how the plants grew in your garden and have organic curtains.

I see your knowledgeable in this field, I only know the basics of astronomy.

If you wanted to be picky, he said 10 times bigger, not 10 times as massive. So gravity shouldn't be an issue. It might be an artificial planet with a hollow core or something, but the outside was terraformed into a living planet and looks like earth.

I would consider going though, it sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

How does light from Mars tell you anything about the core..? :/

The effect would be minuscule. Nothing like 5 years. A few hours maybe, if that.

3.2G is still pretty intense gravity to be living under. It would make falls more intense for one thing. The plus size is that we'd need robots to do any kind of heavy lifting.

If we survived there for a year and came back to Earth, we'd be the strongest people on Earth!

Xei,
Things like seismic data can be obtained through high and low wavelengths, which in turn gives indirect evidence to a possible composition of the core. There are off course many ways we can predict the composition I happened to only name these few.
I know you wouldn't even notice the time dilation, i was only kidding.

Or weaker cause we would all rely on machine suits .
