Scrash Posted July 3, 2010 It really looks awesome, I have to say. Considering three of the planets are ones that I have made, I have to thank --V-- for making it. Awesome job, definitely. The planets definitely look how I imagined them. Can't say that this is awesome enough times. =P Quote Link to comment
BioGio Posted July 3, 2010 Toa_Ausar & --V--: How many of those planets are inhabited, precisely? You mention forests being as far as three-hundred-thousand mio from Solis Magna, in Terra Magna, and it seems to be implied that Jattillus is inhabited. If they all are, I would find it highly unlikely, although I don't recall the convertion of mio into miles/kilometers. Still, it's not very likely that all of the planets are in the "Goldilocks Zone," seeing as only two can be found in our Solar System. Of course, this just requires a bit of suspension of disbelief. Additionally, it appears that this Solar System was naturally created (i.e., not by the Great Beings), and thus I noted a lack of any gaseous planets. Still, I'm willing to suspend my disbelief. Regardless, the cartograph itself is wonderfull; good job, --V--. ~ BioGaia Quote Link to comment
Toa_Ausar Posted July 3, 2010 BioGaia: All five of the planets shown are inhabited, and I take issue with the concept of a "Goldilocks Zone" for a few reasons:The hypothesis assumes alien life has the same requirements as terrestrial life, but almost certainly what is needed for biomechanical beings differs greatly from that which is necessary for humans. Assuming the requirements are the same, suitable environments may still develop outside of the accepted "habitable zone", for example:A. Primordial Earth exhibited an atmosphere that was not habitable by life as we know it due to it mainly being carbon dioxide, much like Venus. But this was drastically altered by initial types of plant life into a breathable atmosphere, so any area outside of the "habitable zone" for life as we know it, can over time transform as a result of even the most primitive plant life and their subsequent photosynthesis. B. Also, Jupiter's moon Europa is thought to have a subsurface ocean with an environment similar to the deep oceans of Earth, thus the likely evolution of life on Europa, similar to extremophiles on Earth, is certainly plausible, despite the fact that Europa is no where near the presumed "Goldilocks Zone". Furthermore, the building block of life are what makes up the primordial soup ocean on Europa, so the likelihood of life there is extremely possible.Lastly, the width of a prospective "habitable zone", as well as its' relative distance from the star, are directly proportional to the density of the star, and thus it would be different for each and every solar system.In short, life can evolve to tolerate extreme conditions anywhere, under the principle of natural selection, as various pressures dictate, and thus it is not necessary for the conditions to be "just right". As for Jattillus, yes it is inhabited, and I know more than is currently revealed, so you'll have to wait for an upcoming Short Story by Iro to get a more detailed answer on this. Anyway, this was a fantastic job here by --V--, who never ceases to amaze me. ~ Åusår Quote Link to comment
