Dan6061 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Click.Heard it on the radio at work yesterday. Be really weird to move planet, if that's even possible. Especially how there's similarities, such as water etc, but then the differences - Size, being able to it's sister planet from 'New Earth'.Thought it'd make an interesting topic.Anyone up for travelling 120,000,000,000,000 miles?

guineasmithpig Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 road trip, anyone? well, space trip. i reckon an A6 diesel would do it on one tank full Smithy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 road trip, anyone? well, space trip. i reckon an A6 diesel would do it on one tank full SmithyYeah, no worries. Hit 100mph then slip into neutral, turn off the engine and cruise the rest of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey23 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 It would suck for trials, bigger planet, more gravitational force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 That's pretty awesome. It'd be very interesting to see what kind of life (if any) is on that planet. Imagine if we managed to communicate with them BBC Article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6589157.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 that'd depend on who's more advanced really. if it's them we're f**ked, if it's us they're f**ked. Stephen Hawking says so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 5x the gravity, nah thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hmm, I'm sceptical, how the fudge can they determine the planet's surface gravity?? Which btw () "is probably around twice that of the Earth and the atmosphere could be similar to ours."That's why I linked the News24 article, they don't publish quite so much tripe!

Greetings Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Yeah but imagine if there are aliens on that planet which ride trials. They'd be unbeatable on Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 They can figure out its gravity by looking at the size and mass as well as orbit around its sun. Its do able. They haven't however discovered if it does have water or even "life", they just know its in the right region of space,as in its close enough to be warm but not to far away so its cold. They've only said "it could" support life. I'm talking about the actual astronomers here not the media, they've hyped it up a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikey23 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Isn't it 5x the mass, that means 5 times the gravity?Nah cause gravity is related to the radius of the planet aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 That was just quoted from the article - I've no idea to be honest.So it's possible to figure out a planets pull with it's dimensions and dimensions of the sun (plus the orbit jazz)? Is gravity formulaeic in that way? I just thought it varied from planet to planet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Lovely, a new planet to mess up... can't wait! Give us 3000 years, and it'll be f**ked. Like Earth atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which btw () "is probably around twice that of the Earth and the atmosphere could be similar to ours."That's why I linked the News24 article, they don't publish quite so much tripe!The roughly know the mass, and they know the radius, so using: E=GM/R^2 one can calculate the value of th gravity, simple really.If there is life on that planet, they'll be roughly twice as strong as us.

Gaz M Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 That'd be a awesome place to train for trials in harder gravity, reminds me of dragonball z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
