Our cold cold planet...

I never said it didn't make sense I merely said exactly what you are getting at' date=' that on the scale of things we are pretty cold. But as stated on the previous page, much of the universe is much colder on average, so it sort of makes the whole premise fooey..[/quote']

 

How are you qualifying that?

 

What I was getting at is that it's pretty relative. And really the nicety isn't really the overall temperature, but the lack of insane extremes. This is due to the presence of water, it's high specific heat, and how it moderates our temperature.

I am basing my assumption on the physics experts remark in page 1. Did I read it wrong? I just found it odd originally that with such extreme temperatures that could be reached in the universe we are at a pretty constant low compared to those extremes. Kinda makes sense since the earth has alot of solid mass on its surface (and we have some solid mass in us). I guess I am saying we are partly solid cause we are "frozen" of sorts. That was what I was getting at. Hope I explained it well (I never do good with explaining my thoughts).
