Both of them have masses similar t...

Hello all, Long time no see. About the polar ice cap. Having it melting, it mean that many fossil or freeze remnant of ancient animal might appear to the naked eye. Those wont stay intact in the atmosphere and will degrade with the weather. Any of you know if advice had been given to any expedition ...

Hello all, I read an article a long time ago that was saying that the supernova rate start diminish enough for life to appear around 5 billions years ago. And before that life was probably destroy as it was create because of that rate of supernova that was high. Just saying that if it's true then li...

So, water world might be plausible untill proven otherwise. Interesting possibility. Can a philosopher have an happy life just thinking? (no access to fire and metal and ....) what would be the thought overthere?

that one is interesting.

When water met iron deep inside the Earth, did it create conditions for life?

That look good. Pick the one you want among those.

One of the reason life stagnate for a long period on earth. http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Limited_phosphorus_recycling_can_suppress_a_planets_biosphere_999.html And an informative article how life is strong. http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Scientists_identify_key_factors_that_help_microbes_thr...

Who knows, there may be remains of black holes in the ongoing expansion that date from the prior contraction phase and passed intact through the bottleneck of the bounce," http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Physicist_assumes_the_possibility_of_vestiges_of_an_Universe_previous_to_the_Big_Bang_999...

then may be " rare thought"

Life appear in what we consider harsh environment. But fot that lifeform it aint that harsh. So it replicate relatively easy. But also for it to evolve it need a change in the environment. And it doesnt seem to have happened frequently (over a few billion of years). So, if condition are there, life ...

OK, so i do not need one by law. Thats good for me.

An aberration is a good word to describe it. I like it.

As for evolve and complex life form. yes, it is what i mean.

My writing in english aint that good. So finding the right word is not easy. That is why i am often wrong ( It is a normality for me).
You should ear my speaking.

How do i do that? I mean having a personalize rank.

i think from what we know or what i think i know about life: 500 to 800 millions years after earth creation, life appear. Primitive life. It stay a very primitive lifeform for around 3.5 billions years (almost all of the earth age). Then 500 millions years ago it evolve untill today. Wich was fast c...

"A tiny slowdown in Earth's rotation next year could trigger more earthquakes than usual, new research suggests." https://www.space.com/38860-slow-earth-rotation-triggers-earthquakes.html Past periods of slow rotation over the last 100 years have coincided with more earthquakes than averag...

At first i tought it was possible for it to have been in the Oort cloud and it encounter planet nine wich make it come toward us with a little above our system's escape velocity. But since it was dryed i suppose its not possible. just a tought.

I notice samething for my cherry tree and prune tree. i tought it was a late summer coming and cold nite that kill the insect. For the first time i have nice perfect cherry and prune . They were delicious. But my apple tree still have worm. May be less then the other years. Dunno what to think about...

yes, that graphic lookgood. it seem to work. That's great.

Researchers have found what appears to be the second-largest black hole in the Milky Way, which falls into a rare, intermediate-mass category. A newly discovered object may be the second-largest black hole in the Milky Way, weighing in at about 100,000 times the mass of the sun. Now, scientists thin...

Just realise i have 499 post done.

So here are my 500th one.

Interesting article Doum. Don't know about your wishful thinking though. On the one hand, older stars put out less flares than when they were young. But otoh, they still flare often enough to be a problem for the retention of atmospheres and oceans. That's a lot of blasting to take from close range...
