KingEbukasBlog: Please this science update did it assert that. -Only earth is known by man to possess life or -Or earth is the only planet to possess life ? |
Scholar8200: Alright then... Can we say the highlighted means these claims are un-verified? If no, on what basis do we accept them for what they have been called? Let me put this in very basic terms. We are earth based life forms, so everything we will judge other planets with will be based on our experience of how earth is.. That is why man came up with the EARTH SIMILARITY INDEX. (based on similarity to earth) if we lived on Mars we would be judging other planets by their similarity with our planet Mars.. (Understand?) So thousands of planets have been VERIFIED AND OBSERVED to be similar to earth according to our similarity scale.. the nearest of this similarity being Kepler 438b which i mentioned.. The universe is filled with countless star systems and countless planets in these systems.. Now we dont all have same academic privileges, how did they all differentiate and some are luminous while others are not? Luminosity is based on the activities of such celestial body.. Stars are luminous because they are extremely hot enough to trigger the process of nuclear fusion in their cores. Hydrogen + Hydrogen ------> Helium... this is the nuclear chain reaction that goes on in a star core that is why a star is luminous. . in fact every other thing in this universe are luminated by stars practically. Our earth is brighter than the moon itself and Jupiter is 16times brighter..this is the amount of light they reflect, these bodies don't produce light Alright. Considering the distance where some of these planets are, would you say they were thrust there by the Bang or they travelled there over time? And did the Big Bang occur at that part where you have the Conventional 9 planets today or in a place Light years away? If i tell you this question makes any sense to me i would be lying.. Please i mentioned that the universe is expanding.. (more-like space/time itself is expanding) and the single point where these rapid inflation and expansion began is what is known as big bang.. Nobody knows the center of the universe neither can anybody claim to be, our solar system has 8main planets and 5 miniplanets for now .. and NO it is a young system not more than 5billion years.. the universe is ~14 billion years old.. No problem. At least I am not pretending to be an expert. To be honest we shouldn't let beliefs stop us from learning what we should, nobody needs believe anything in order to learn them.. Kindly expatiate on the colored regarding were they formed immediately after the Bang or over a long period? Ok first stars were formed like 200millions of years after the big bang, some of the galaxies and stars with estimated age as close to that of the big bang has been observed by space telescopes. But all stars and planets didn't form at the same time.. Millions still form up till now and millions die.. Like our own star which you may know as the sun is 4.6billion years old Indeed, thanks for your time.I suggest you pay more visits to the science section ... I.E: My answers are based on scientific postulations and not my own assertions. |
KingEbukasBlog:[b] Hahahahaha and i even thought you had a scientific basis to assert my answers were wrong even though i made my answers very basic.. Ok let me start a fresh explanation of the Big bang theory... Big Bang as propounded by Georges Lamitre observed the components of the universe are moving apart from each other. This expansion was confirmed by Edwin hubble using the Mt Witlson telescope.. It is not matter itself that is expanding but space and time itself. Space and time is like a fabric with matters on it .. so space/time is expanding and so are the matter on it. simple demonstration is with a rubber band.. make marks on it with a pen then draw the rubber to make the rubber expand, you will notice the marks on it expanding and moving apart with the expansion of the rubber band. So according to Big Bang theory the rapid inflation of the singularity brought about space/time itself and matter after it cooled.. Ebuka i even thought you have read about the Big bang theory? ![]() I recommend theory of relativity so you can grasp the concept of space/time (ultimately understand what blackholes are)[/b] 2. There is NO planet that can CERTAINLY and TOTALLY support life like earth This is your belief or a scientific assertion by the astronomical community?.. there are Billions of rocky planets in the goldilock zone of their host star am sure i mentioned Kepler 438b to be 88% similar to earth. Maybe you checked all the planets to determine none can support life like earth.. did you ![]() This is one problem with belief, making assertions based on emotion than enquiry.. I am still looking where my answers where wrong 3. Is the Big Bang the CAUSE of the expansion of space/time - what that means - atomic and sub atomic particles ? No sub atomic and atomic particles is not same as space/time sir. . Atomic particles are matter which ultimately formed stars and most celestial objects you know through the action of gravity.. I thought you said my answers were wrong scientifically, i was actually hoping for scientific postulations that said otherwise. turns out you were just substituting your emotions in a premise to assert it is wrong when clearly enough you don't understand it |
KingEbukasBlog:Be my guest.. Point them out |
Scholar8200: Even though i was almost blown off my seat by the stack naivete your questions betrayed i won't mind answering them because i believe no question is dumb, can be bluntly naive but not dumb. But after this i will like to beg you to pay more minds to scientific materials other than always going over religious books.. 1. Since all other planets were formed by the same action of gravity on star debris, how come only one perfectly supports life? This is the first naive question.. There are thousands of planets out there orbitting the habitable zone of their host stars just like the earth. according to our own Earth Similarity index there are thousands of them that are like earth out there the closest we know for now being kepler 438b.. 88% earth's similarity according to earth's scale and with time the certainty of finding even more planets more conducive for life is undeniable.. so please earth is not the only planet that can support life or is even likely to be the only, there are countless numbers of planets in the observable universe.. the only problem is that man lacks the technology it takes to travel such distances. Nearest star system to ours Alpha centauri A is 4light years away.. I hope you know what 1 light year is.. 2. As a result of (1), were all the 9 planets formed simultaneously or one after the other? Lol.. planets can form simultaneously or one after the other.. . Newest observations of planetary formations has 3 proto-planets in formation process.. 3. If consecutively, which came first and which was last? The much i know most planets in the solar system have relative age suggesting the formation process were simultaneous or close enough.. 4.5± billion in scientific rendering.. 4. For those who are knowledgeable in Big Bang, did that process bring about the solar system too or was it extant at the time when Big Bang occured? Lmao this is the most funny, even though am not a Big bang theorist .. i see the need to answer this to clear the naive impression. Big Bang according to scientific postulations brought about subatomic and atomic particles which are fundamentals of matter. so yes our solar system is a young system compared to the age of the universe and i thought it should be an elementary knowledge that Solar systems, galaxies, planets, nebulas, blackholes... are all products of matter .. so yes scientifically Big bang brought out the solar system not the other way round 5. If the Solar system existed before Big Bang, then how correct will it be to say planets are formed from star debris? hahahahaha am sorry for laughing at this bro but i cant help it.. anyway am sure i have answered you above.. i suggest you pick up basic science materials, you can start from the science section.... Cus this?... Don't really know what to say.. 6. If the Solar system was a creation of the Big Bang then what informs the formation of more stars sans another Big bang? I think you think Big bang means the formation of a solar system.. (this is why i am insisting you start picking up simple science text books) According to the scientific postulations Big Bang brought about expansion of space/time and ultimately atomic and subatomic particles. 7. Did the Big Bang produce only Earth or the other Planets too? Space/time ..Matter (this includes Galaxies, stars, nebula, planets, asteroids ...etc) 8. What births a Planet, Big Bangs or Gravity's activity on star debris? #sighs should i repeat myself over planetary formations Looking forward to answers. To be honest bro these questions i expect only from primary school students not adults.. one do not really need to believe scientific postulations in order to study, it is understandable that you place your beliefs first but i think you should have studied these things at least for knowing sake because i am awed at these questions. but like i said, no question is dumb only naive or misplaced.. |
CoolUsername: Scientific discoveries and facts destroys Every myth and religious dogmas about the universe. They can only come here to tell you they don't believe scientific findings that it is the devils work. People with brains down writing scientific findings in order to up hold by faith sheepishly primitive superstition and myths.. |
Chai bruuuuh comedy starts.. |
SirWere: There are methods that can take us faster than light even when we are not moving at all..Like WARP travel...distortion of space time.. It is theoretically possible and is being developed and researched into as we speak..If it becomes possible man can travel to Alpha centauri In 2 weeks.. |
CltrAltDelicious:Thanks bro |
Khd95:Who knows God here according to plaetton might be referring to gravity. Some might bolt in here expecting to see some humanoid talking to himself and planets pop out from no where in a second.. |
Planetary formation was a huge leap in space observation because it confirmed our thesis on that subject.. Just like stars are results of the action of Gravity on matter (nebula), Planets are the same action of Gravity on star debris.. remnants or shed offs of a star during formation comes under the action of gravity and comes together to form a spinning ball of hot matter. The complexity, orbital tendencies, formation of new stars, galaxies, planets are all possible due to gravity.. |
Krystalzkris: I think covering her was actually a good thing because the laws of moses which the jews adhered to stipulates death by stoning. So covering her up was actually good if you ask me because she would have been stoned to death. I can't really fathom how these in these ancient times regard murdering someone in a way as cruel as stoning to be a more moral deed than an adult having sex and getting pregnant out of wedlock. I don't understand how killing is a better and desired moral action than Sex. Muslims still practice this barbarism in today's world unfortunately |
Pyrrho:[b] I find these two positions Gnostic theism and Gnostic atheism to be based sorely on Emotion than skeptical deductions.... While a Gnostic Theists asserts to know for sure God exists (without evidence as we all know) a Gnostic Atheists asserts to know for sure God does not exist.. Such absolute assertions to me is all but factual, it is based mostly on the emotional tilt of the person on the subject.. I treat the "God" postulation as a hypothesis, this is personal to me.. I find it a naive impression but i do not make absolute assertions like "There is no God" rather i use "I don't believe there is" I am an agnostic atheist.. This position is that if God exists (any of them you have in mind) it is unknown in principle or currently in fact (Agnostic) But of all the claims about God around i disbelieve all because they are mostly results of a very naive world view and in many ways takes a very implausible and preposterous tilt. So the difference between I (agnostic atheist) and someone who is plain Agnostic (like you have identified) Is that while we both treat God thesis as a hypothesis, You neither believe or disbelieve any of the claims. While i neither believe any of the claims but i disbelieve all of them due to lack of evidence and the fact nothing suggests it to be anymore than wishful thinking. Theists most times mistake Atheism to predominantly mean Gnostic atheism... [/b] |
mrphysics:[b] You see i actually was expecting something arguable to be presented, i was expecting some solid thesis worthy of scientific enquiry and debate .. i even got excited when you mentioned studying physics and astronomy. But Alas what i got was Superstitious belief "Witch making someone in U.S come back to Nigeria" this is not only absurd but deserves to be laughed over and honestly makes one wonder what exactly are taught to our so called astronomers and physicists here in Nigeria. This absurd superstition has nothing to do with Quantum spookiness you mentioned to back it up, there is no relationship between the two.. If you mentioned TELEPORTATION .. even though remains an object of fantasy, that could have been a lot better and would deserve a better discussion on the plausibility of such phenomenon based on Quantum projections. But this? ... This is sad per say.. You even mentioned Heaven that your proof is because we must travel faster than light to reach it.. ( This coming from someone who supposedly studied Physics and Astronomy leaves me awed) I suggest you leave your BELIEFS out of science and stop trying to relate unrelated thesis in such a ridiculous naive manner.. [/b] |
[b]Kepler 438b This by far remains the most promising planet we have so far in terms of Alien life possibility. Kepler 438b located 470 light years away is almost a twin to earth, orbits its star in the Goldilock zone just like the earth (Not too hot or cold zone also called Habitable Zone) It is a Rocky planet and has every required condition to maintain just about the same amount of liquid water and geographical formations as earth. This remains the top captain among all the Exo-planets classified to be earth-like. Because we are earth-based life forms, we judge other planets based on their similarities to what we know which is Earth.. So according to the EARTH SIMILARITY INDEX if the earth is classified 1 (100%) we have many planets that are similar to earth with figures like 0.70 (70%), 0.86 (86%).... etc But kepler 438b is 0.88 (88%) in the scale, so imagine it.. A planet that is 88% similar to what we have here on earth.. Can it get any better than this? of course with more study we may discover planets that might come as close as 0.96 or funny enough planets that we might even regard to be more suitable for life than earth itself ..https://www.yttwebzine.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/w400/n2504/earthlike%20planet_0.jpg [/b] |
(9.)Gliese1214B For people who might have the Impression that earth holds an impressive amount of water, this is for you.. You may want to think again because this Planet will blow your mind. Located 42light years away from earth, this planet earns it's nickname in the science world "THE WATERWORLD" Because this planet is made entirely of water all around it, no land but just water all over the planet and runs deep until you meet the core coated in ice.. This planet may possess clouds (Still unsure) but the amount of water this planet hold makes earth's oceans look like Child's play. The water world is impressively a mysterious planet because i doubt if any of us here ever thought there would be a planet made of entirely of water.. https://www.exoclimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Planet_GJ_1214_b.png [img]http://randomgeekings.files./2012/02/462853a-f1-2.jpg?w=1326[/img] |
(8.)HD 18853 AB Again if i am responsible for naming these planets i would name this one Triple Trouble (T2 This planet is in a triple star system, this literally means it has Three Suns. Now imagine looking up in our sky and seeing not our usual 1 beautiful sun but 2 and 3 adorning the sky like bright balls of glowing trouble. That would have been a sight to kill for, this is exactly the case in this our planet i call T2 It has 3 stars in it's system, that is three light sources and so if you were there you would always have 3 shadows like footballers playing under the flood lights in the night. And not to talk of witness the most beautiful of sunsets and also eclipses would be much more frequent. .. [img]http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/122377main_pia03520-250.jpg[/img] |
[b](7.)Wasp 17b For those people that always make Jupiter out to be a Gigantic Planet, Sorry to burst your bubbles but Jupiter got beaten to a Dwarf in the face of this Giant Ball of Gas. Located 1,000 light years away. In fact this Planet is so big that it contradicts how large we think a planet can get. A planet was never thought to ever get that big.. Affirming once again that nature as we know it always has a surprise for us and we shouldn't always base our expectations based on what we know but expect new things with each steps. This planet has proved to us that contrary to our views, planets can actually and in fact get that big More than 3 times the size of the monstrous Jupiter but relatively very low density .. And it keeps getting strange. This Planet holds another surprise for us, It is has a Retrograde Orbit.. This type of planetary Orbit goes counter-wise the rotation of it's host planet which was the first we observed. . . That was quite a strange thing for us and questions what we know about planetary formation and orbital expectancy .. https://media.apnarm.net.au/img/media/images/2015/05/22/wasp-17b-06ts1eqrappnw7gp7k2_t460.png[/b] |
[b](6.)Gliese 581c This planet is strangely a candidate for possible life forms .. The third planet on it's planetary system, the Gliese 581c is an interesting but strange planet that orbits a red dwarf star. But this planet just like our own moon is Tidally locked in it's axis .. which means it does not rotate in it's axis but one side of it always is facing the star while the other side is always facing away from it. For people who might have been wondering why the moon always has one face towards us.. Here lies your answer ^^^ So Gliese 581c being a tidally locked planet has the side facing the star to be always in day light and expected extremely hot that it can melt any living organism on it instantly (so this side is out of the question for life) The other side of the planet facing away from the star is always dark and extremely cold that it hold a freezing threat to any thing on it.. But in between the hot and cold zone there is a thin line called the twilight zone (That is where the hot and cold meets) this region has a temperature that is just right for life .. Gliese 581c is a remarkable rocky earth-like planet that probably holds a lot of promises for us even though it is based on a little strip of gap in twilight. But who knows "Between two dark clouds, there is a silver lining" this saying might turn out to be true in this case after all.. https://pre11.deviantart.net/5a6e/th/pre/f/2011/329/6/2/gliese_581_c_by_gurra943-d4h8qx8.jpg[/b] |
Nice one though Op... I love this country but we need to restructure and work collectively for our common good.. |
Pyrrho:Agnosticism is the position that the existence of God (anyone you have in mind) is unknown in fact or in principle but neither believes or disbelieves the claims abound. . |
(5.) Wasp 12b A moment of silence for this poor planet ![]() This is a bizarre sad sight of a planet being cannibalized by its own parent star.. it is practically being eaten up.. Wasp 12b is a gas giant like jupiter orbiting a star named Wasp 12 but this planet is very close to it's host star that it is an extreme hot ball of blotted gas being sucked up by the star. You can weep for it, cry or wail but this planet is doomed to die slowly in a barbaric cannibalistic treat by it's own host star that is just about like our own Sun.. It looses Billions of metric tons of it's mass every second... the humongous effect the star has on this poor planet and the lose of it's materials has turned this body into a blotted oblong shape (Egg like shape) instead of round..

(4.)HD 189773B Who ever is the one responsible for naming these planets deserves to be shot in the head If i am the one naming planets i would have definitely named this one THE GLASS PLANET. A saying goes that who ever lives in a glass house, do not throw stones .. so you probably should be careful with this because this is one of those. This planet has an atmosphere made up of Silicon which gives it a very bright blue colour but with an extremely hot surface temperature the silicone solidifies into Glass.. Pure literal Glass.. This glass roam all over the planet, every where at an extreme wind speed of 400m/s.. This is surely no where to be at all..

(3.)Gliese 436 b Like i told you in the starting lines of this thread, Nature has no one way of manifestation.. So brace yourself because you are about to have your Chemistry days ruined. It is established in earth's chemistry that when Ice is subjected to heat, it melts into liquid and eventually evaporates if it continues to be exposed in extreme heat.. But here we have this arch nemesis of this basic chemistry we know, Gliese 436B is an icy Neptune sized planet orbiting a red dwarf star. This planet burns at an extremely hot temperature of 439°C but still all the ice components of this hot sweet heart remains intact and solid. Literally Burning Ice. The intense gravitational pull of the planet compresses it's ice and prevents them from evaporating into outer space even though the heat of the planet is very very extreme.. https://www.thelivingmoon.com/43ancients/04images/Planets/NeptunianExoplanetNASAart.jpg |
[b](2.)55 Cancrie E "Shine bright like a diamond" In Rihanna's Voice (My crush) ![]() It is said Diamonds and ladies are best of friends, so where are all my ladies at now because this planet is literally diamond.. Located 40,000light years away from earth, this ladies friend has carbon particles so dense that they appear in the form of diamond.. So imagine this planetary body, twice the size of earth made 80% of solid diamonds.. I know what's going on in your mind now, what if we go and get this diamond, but wait up it is far bigger than the earth so the diamond is much more than the earth can hold. And if we find a way to travel and retrieve this diamond back on earth, diamonds will run at an extremely common supply that it will be as common and stones and ladies will then find a new best friend.. So we better leave it that way and just watch this baby from afar sparkling like an engagement ring.. When next you sing "Shine bright like a diamond" By Rihanna, have this baby in mind because that is the closest we have in the sky for now .. And Someone remind Rihanna that Diamonds don't shine, they reflect light [img]http://static.haisentito.it/haisentito/fotogallery/495X401/57733/pianeta-di-diamanti.jpg[/img][/b] |
[b] With the emergence of space telescopes into the study of our universe, the picture of the whole setting becomes clearer to us.. But one thing is clear about this universe. It is random and can never be pin pointed or established a way of manifestation.. When we think we know, we learn something else new that contradicts that which we think we know.. The more we learn, the less we know and the more we realize that there is an infinite supply left to know.. There are many Bizarre phenomenons in the universe that baffles us and goes against our (so called) laws on how things work, it has taught us that the universe as we know has no one way of working.. It is a random crazy result of reacting values..... HERE IS A LIST OF THE MOST MYSTERIOUS PLANETS WE HAVE OBSERVED SO FAR IN OUR KNOWN UNIVERSE (Chances of discovering more that are even more mysterious is undeniably certain) (1.) TRES 2B Located 750,000 light years away from our solar system.. Tres 2b is an exo planet that has baffled the astronomical community for years now. Because this Huge ball of Gas Holds the record for the Darkest Known planet in our observable universe. Tres-2B even though very near it's parent star reflects only 1% of the light it gets and so appears to be monstrously mean and dark. Tres-2b is a jupiter-like planet known as Gas giants but is larger than jupiter in diameter and mass. Speculated to be made of gases that absorb light instead of reflecting them that's why it only gives off 1% out of all the light it gets. Because this Gas beast is extremely hot, it glows ominously red and dark giving it a rather mysterious mean and scary look.. https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--KzKtzaGH--/1316741811944354663.jpg comparing Tres-2b, earth and Jupiter in brightness scale..

Man can achieve elongated life span but i doubt the ability to leave forever. Anything that has activities in order to produce results must surely fail when the activities stop. Even a star lives for billions of years and eventually dies ... |
virginboy1:Basically you are afraid right? ...lol... its expected since we all know what threats of hell you have been fed all your life my brother.. It's surely evidential that with this type of mindset, you are not really sure of the actuality of God but simply clutching on it for fear of what it might do to you if it really exists. You are just worshipping your fears.. |
Hahahahahahahaha mankind will deify anything perceived to be superior.. Now the Almighty Google is being deified.. But lets get a point straight. . . Google works a lot more better than churches, mosques and crusade grounds... You don't need to shout or hit your head on the floor then wait till you die to get a result.. Google gives you the desired result in a little more than 30 seconds.. Chia diaris Google oo |
CoolUsername: I believe he is implying that "People also get offended if you say you are an atheist.." |
It is a free world, we all have the right to offend or be offended. when they get mad, see it that they are exercising their right of being offended about anything they want to get angry over... it is their cup of tea. Religious beliefs being unfounded mythical constructs and fantasies have in a way being dogmatized in the mind of the believer even though in a touch of wishful thinking to be an absolute truth. so it is expected that they get offended when you challenge what they so bad want to believe as truth. Religious faith banks on stoic conviction based on stark emotion on a premise they dont really have any reason to believe but rely on faith and emotion. Such absurd assertions are always made against reason, so they fight tooth and nail to defend it against reason and so tend to be aggressively hostile to the one that proposes reason.. they know if reason prevails, beliefs crumbles.. |
chibedo:This is clear you only believe in a God because you are deluding yourself in the wishful thinking of getting another life after you are dead. A childish and selfish want that makes one to make less meaning of the one life they get... If you think your afterlife is going to be better than your current life then surely enough you are not really living just waiting to die.. I choose to live the one life i have without deluding myself swimming in abject wishful thinking, entangling myself in primitive fantasy and superstition.. You are alive now and that is a beautiful thing and a wonderful opportunity, you are busy worrying and chasing after a wishful shadow and fantasy while neglect the very one you are sure you have.. You will end up having never really lived at all.. Unlike you, i choose to live |
