This demonstration of inductive heating is awesome... Kinda makes you want to run out and buy some copper pipe right now... Seriously, is this real or some sort of trick?

Actually such planets could hold onto hydrogen, if the mass was afew times greater than earth it could be hydrogen so thick it would have liquid water at the surface even interstellar space. But even without that extreme an earth sized planet at that distance could hold onto hydrogen, helium, argon, nitrogen and liquid methane. A thick hydrogen atmosphere can retain quite a bit of heat, UV from the sun would cause an effect similar to the effect of the sun on Titian but probably at a reduced rate.

What would a rocky planet look like that far from the sun? It could hold onto hydrogen and a NASA expert says that hydrogen can be a very effective greenhouse gas under enough pressure. The idea of life on Titan and various other new ideas about how we think about cold planets makes the idea of an Earth sized planet that far out very interesting..

It's quite possible your memory is a bit retroactive, memories can be like that, a bit like dejavue (sp?)

I thought there was another thread that mentioned life in our solar system and life on Titan specifically but I couldn't find it but I did find this great talk by Dr. Chris McKay (NASA Ames Research Center) about life on Titan told as a mystery, it's long but well worth the watch if you have the time... I was truly engrossed in the video, Dr. McKay was extremely interesting to listen to and his lecture was easy to understand. It made me think of the titan equivalent of Earth's black smokers in our oceans except with water magma and super heated methane leaching various chemicals from the magma and hot rock (liquid and hot frozen water) as water does on earth in hot SiO2 magma. I see no reason why the H2O magma wouldn't be as impure as SiO2 magma on earth and the liquid methane could leach various chemicals out of the water magma, ammonia, possibly various chlorides, and even light metals like sodium, potassium, lithium ect. His ideas are exciting and raise many questions that needs to be answered...

Intelligence is the ability to learn, wisdom is knowing that you have yet to learn everything...

Can you demonstrate anything that is nothing?

I can honestly say that I have never heard a religious explanation for reality that wasn't wrong, I am open to the possibility but claiming god did it has never explained anything i am aware of..

Wasn't that what i said?

I often wonder if in 100 years scientists will be laughing at us for discounting UFOs as imaginary or all hoaxes like scientists today do 18th century scientists who were so sure rocks could not fall from the sky... UFOs could represent something completely different from aliens but still be real manifestations of something unknown but ridicule keeps anyone with real credentials from investigating thoroughly what is going on.... IMHO, something real is behind at least some of them, exactly what is of course speculation but so was ball lighting until quite recently...

I think Acme's explanation has some merit, different cultures do see different things, South Americans are morelikely to see little hairy dwarf and the sexual nature is usually a beautiful female alien actually seducing a human rather an anal probe... Hmmm might be something to this anal probe thing... Hmmmm

Nothing unreal can exist, nothing is not real, therefore nothing cannot exist...

WORD!

Great song and video...

They wick effect has been demonstrated with pig carcasses, they burn slowly after the initial flare up and result in a burn pattern very suggestive of SHC, in fact at least one body was found burning and the wick effect was confirmed, only a small smokey flame burned out of the body as it slowly consumed the body, it was murder...

Issac Asimov in one of his many many science books suggested an absolute limit to the size of a nucleus due to some limiting factor even if we ignore radioactive decay. It was much lower than 534, something about the strong force i think, it was long ago and far away, sorry i can't remember the book...

yeah and getting an anal probe, and some cultures see completely different beings as well

DNA recovered from an apatosaurus fossil and injected into an ostrich egg is currently incubating in Britain. named spot, the excitement of the impending hatching is building... http://news-hound.org/british-scientists-clone-dinosaur/

Actually Earth ejects significant amounts of material during large impacts...

True, but they could be our alien overlords just as easily... I've read some speculations about silicon life on Titan, complex silane based, we haven't seen enough of the surface to be sure they don't have cities but no detectable technologies. Of course complex but less stable than our own hydrocarbons is a much more likely possibility. There was a novel about intelligent life on Titan, a race of intelligent machines that landed on titan millions of years ago and proliferated into an ecosystem based on nano type machines and larger macro type machines. I can't remember who wrote it but it was a good novel... I have most of a short story written about life on titan as well..

I would have to see something more than the assertion that X claims Y happened before even discussing this. There is an explanation for spontaneous human combustion which is not entirely accurate to call it spontaneous... Most of the time it's either murder or accidental... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_human_combustion

Why element 534? What is that based on? Just curious where you got that number from...

Actually in the "New World" the wheel was not used in anything but children's toys but they had the concept... I am pretty sure they had writing as well...The great pyramid was built in Egypt not meso america, also though they did have pyramids and stone buildings... I have also seen pictures of arches that predate European influence...
