Forum:Earth like planet found!

Earth like planet found! Lets hope it isn't the flood =D
A earth-like planet orbiting a star approximently 20 lightyears from earth has been discovered by planet hunters.The planet catalouged as Gliese 876 is theorised to be able to support life itself.Ponder this question,do you believe?*X-Files music starts playing*Hope and pray it isn't the flood! =D

Your insane astronomer,

Wow, this is sooo cool! -- Caboose   Orange Juice  and  Cookies  23:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

It is very cool indeed if this planet supports life it will rock NASA and the world.

Just hope it's not the Covenant, with the Holy Rings. That would... be bad. Unless we have like Spartans... now I have gone to too far... :]--H*bad (talk) 00:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Being a spartan would SO rock! =D

lol man if that were true- hey i lost contact with Harvest... WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!!! Nobo dy says Hello.

really? I'll have to steals my dad's Scientific American some time soon then. i say we should send a military expedition their way to secure it. You never know.--Lieutenant Alan 10:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 'Cept it's 20 light years away. If they were to discover us, the maximum they could go is light speed, which again would take 20 years. So I would be....36 at the minimum. And probably, if they are advanced, 50-70.--H*bad (talk) 13:06, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * However if we have slipspace drive it will take what 6 months? Or since we have invented ion drive it will take...Um I seriously need to crunch some numbers here.

Our technology wouldn't be so advance, so even they discovered us, we will be doom like sitting ducksΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 13:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Well assuming we build slipspace tech in the next 20 years or so(i read the techs at NASA are trying, although failing), we might just have to settle for throwing sattelites at it. Also keeping in mind that a "normal" space flight would be about 189211000000000 kilometers long, 117600000000000 miles and 6.13756 parsecs long. Now doing the math for HOW LONG IT WOULD take, we have to keep in mind that in a second light travels over 299,792,458 meters a second., so it would be a short hop to this planet. However if you in a rocket traveling abou 17 000 miles an hour, you would be there in about I think 365 years. Remember to pack a lunch(by the thousands) --WRAITH 14:32, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Ahh yes. Planet Gliese 581 c. 13 DAY YEARS! orbiting a Migit. An orbit smaller than mercury. One side always midday, the other middnight. Yeah sounds like a planet worth dying for. (pleese note: on your trip there you WILL die!)
 * PS. If you travel in a Space vessel (u can't say shuttle now coz they're going obselite and being replaced in 2010), launched from a space station (so u dont use up the rocket fule). If nothing was in the way, you'd get there in about 50,000 years. Also if u go to light speed youd implode (thats crushed 2getha then explode) and become a black hole! or Youd have mass (impossible if u cant go lightspeed) and then cause the creation of a black hole.
 * No offense, but that's erroneous. A collapsing object with a weight of over one solar mass will become a black hole. All objects somewhat smaller than a solar mass will become a neutron star, I think...and under that, I don't think anything noticeable will even form. I don't mean to offend you, Forerunner, but ts'all'.

 * You took that from Wikipedia didn't you! A neutron Star can like destroy other stars near it. Also, it's so strong that nothing can even orbit it! If say a neutron star was the size of sol, a planet the same size and orbit of Jupiter would slowly, then quiker and quikly be pulled into it! Thats how stong a neutron star is. Technicaly, its like a Black hole, only it has light.
 * Heh. No, I didn't. I found it in sixth grade using a variety of reference books when I had to research black holes. And no, sorry, but I don't believe neutron stars are "like" black holes to the degree that you are describing. And no, neutron stars are not light! The gravitational force is so extreme that protons and electrons are fused together to become neutrons - not photons. Neutron stars and black holes are alike because they have extreme gravity, but black holes, because of the engorged solar masses that went into feeding it, have infinite gravity, and are not physically really anything, only a singularity at the bottom of the gravity well. That is, if you discount the accretation disk. But Foreruner, I'm glad that someone else at Halopedia knows astrophysics too!

 * RELENTLESS! You're too smart for a 13 year old, and top of that you won't admit it!! GAH! :D Anyway, noe that I think about it, he (RR) is right. Plus here's my retarded and likely incorrect reasoning: if light can travel at the speed of light without turning into blackholes, then shouldn't other objects be able to do the same? -- Caboose  [[Image:Caboose.jpg|35 px]] Orange Juice  and  Cookies  04:05, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

If there is a sentient race, perhaps we could communicate using flashes of light aimed in that direction. We wouldn't be able to have a conversation, but we could get a "we are here" message across. Maybe even a message encoded in binary? Would that be a universal creation? -- Dragon<font color="FF0000">c laws ( talk ) 11:37, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * light might not work that well, as it might not even be seen by them. it's like when you're next to a candle and you can see it perfectly, but if you go a few miles away, you can barely see it, if at all. we should do what they do in andromeda strain, which is send some kind of organism to announce our existence.

75.5.224.54 20:02, 27 April 2007 (UTC)if we find other life formes and thay don't like us humanity will be crushed. Halo tells us that (and just about every other Si-Fi games ever make exept star trek) tell us we don't have a hope of winning.
 * Star Trek! They're covered in them. To date there have been over 9 seen footage of the earth being attacked, and like 30 more in the novels. PS, if it were the Daleks we'd b e totaly screwed. Search on Wikipedia.

But did you see, if the planet is far more advance than ours, it means that if we declare a war upon them, we won't have any hope, the conversation aboves is logicalΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 03:30, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

If they turn out to be peaceful, I wonder how Christians will try to convert them. I mean, even for the far east they could say something like, "There was this man long ago who died for your sins." But how could you really explain that to ETs? Maybe they'll try to convert us to something else? -- Dragon<font color="FF0000">c laws ( talk ) 10:46, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

How will muslims convert them? =0 General  Sparty  time     "I'll save the environment by giving PowerPoint presentations!" 15:51, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Yup, Christians are like that. and if the aliens are closer to the edge of the universe then we are i think they'll be close to us or less then use in technology. But if there closer to the center then they would probly have more time to advance then us, that is assuming that there evolution and beliefs and customs are even close to ours, theres to many things that could be or not be for us to make any accurate assumptions.-- Running  Riot   Ryan  11:19, 28 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Soz 2 tell u this, but it is physically impossible for there to be an edge or a centre.

Let's put this news to the back of our mind, I don't think it matters (right now), but I don't think that they can detact Earth, ΜΆŜΤΈŖČΗέÏΣΡΈΤΤΥОΓΓïČëŗ 05:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Imagin we find a planet with Humans, they speak latin or English, and the had a sattelite find us. That wouldbe cool, like Hi, we are humans from the planet Earth, I guess we are not alone in the galaxy., then they say, ''Do you have any spare Oil, after global warning all the Oil was gone. we say, NO, OUR OIL!!!!!!, so they say, ''Okay, planet ? send out the ships'', they attack us and we lose. I have no idea if that makes sense but I'm bored. Darth tader,Talk to the Tader,My work 00:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

SOL
Technically if a non-energy based "thing" would try to travel the speed of light they would achieve infinite growth and infinite mass so you would most likely die (In this known universe, with different laws of science you could). Also the G's on you would be so intense you'd implode. Implode is not be crushed then explode. Explode is gases and force pushing out while implode is being crushed due to the amount of pressure per cubic ft. of skin. The only reason light can go that fast is it's ions and photons. Fork 10:28, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, and thats why halo uses slipspace, it has different rules of science.-- Running  Riot   Ryan  14:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

But if you go near the speed light, time would slow down for you. So a ship could make the journey in theory, but they might find the planet colonized by intellegent apes. -- Dragon<font color="FF0000">c laws ( talk ) 09:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
