What’s he gunna do with Cheney’s bunker under 1 Observatory?
He can spy on everyone’s couches at once!
This isn’t “I want to believe”, this is “it would be irresponsible to not consider”.

Good catch! Thanks for checking the source.
There is a difference between naming the Permian basin briefly in an article and cataloguing, naming, and shaming the biggest polluters.
I read the article and upvoted your parent comment because I’d LOVE to get an interactive map of daily/annual emission hotspots of a quality that could be sent to local officials to demand change.
Yeah, I gave up reading at
it’s a shocking reminder that there are forces outside of the internet that still affect our digital lives.
It absolutely depends on the context.
They are!
Electromagnetically and gravitationally and chemically they act like stars.
Gas giant simulations are often performed by stellar codes such as mesa. Stellar physics and stellar simulations with fusion turned off. Morphologically, they are stars. We should move on from the cold war brain’s fusion chauvinism.
They are fundamentally different objects than planets. They have their own planetary systems. They’re stars, just unlit.
Juno gravity results imply Jupiter’s core is dissolved hydrogen plasma sludge, also known as the dilute core model. Kronoseismology (using saturn’s rings as a seismograph; Cassini read it like a DVD) implies the same is likely true for Saturn due to the discovery of g-mode waves mixing with the f-mode signal detected by ring occultations.
Yes.
Y dwarf stars are a mix of what was previously classified under those mass classifications.

Here they are on Wikipedia’s list of Y-class brown dwarves.
Jupiter and Saturn are in fact brown dwarves.
Stellar classes are OBAFGKMLTY, from most to least massive.
Jupiter and Saturn are brown dwarves, and fit many definitions of “star”.
They are both large enough to have developed a hydrogen plasma core furnace that dissolves the rock and ice that was once their core. They are more than just a hydrogen atmosphere, down to the core they’re a big ball of plasma undergoing all of the same physics as stellar tissue, except the pressure at the center isn’t enough to ignite fusion.
Uranus and Neptune, meanwhile, are likely too small for this, and maintain a fluid ice layer and rocky core beneath their hydrogen envelopes. There is not enough hydrogen for it to take over these worlds. Therefore, they are planets, not brown dwarf stars.
Jupiter and Saturn, however, have grown large enough for the hydrogen to have turned to plasma and dissolved and supplanted their cores with a plasma furnace.
The solar system has three stars. We are not too early to explore other star systems. We know of many planets around Jupiter and Saturn. The extraterrestrial planet with most earth-like atmosphere and surface geology that we know of is Titan, and it’s in our neighboring (sub) star system. Huygens and Juice and Europa Clipper and Dragonfly are humanity’s first missions to planets around other stars.
No factory default due to data corruption, so I uninstalled it as bloat. Then I wrote a few of my own to play with, but instead of dynamically assigning at boot I set up hotswapping.
Replace “makes” with “is correlated with” because we don’t have sufficient evidence to infer causality.
That word is especially disgusting because we all know Bill Gates chose it so he could name his company after his penis.
Never have I ever seen Rocky Horror Picture Show, and multiple people have told me that I should in the past few weeks.

Yup!
Sediment gathers at the bottom of a lake or sea. Builds up deeper and deeper layers. Each layer is formed by a sediment deposition event. Each layer you go down is going further into the past of that former water body.
Because sedimentary rock requires standing bodies of liquid to form, they are only found on Earth and Mars (and maybe Dragonfly will find sedimentary deposits on Titan which would be very different in chemistry).
No, Mars was not formed by the moom-forming impact event between Gaia and Theia. The moon is the remnant you’re talking about, not Mars.
And then ctrl+y to paste it back and recover that text.
From the formation of the CMB we know that the whole universe was a hot and dense plasma that cooled and became transparent.
Are you proposing that these galaxies existed before and external to the CMB plasma ball “big bang” that we came from?
As in, a bunch of matter appears inside of a pre-existing universe as a local big bang, whose galaxies spread out amongst preexisting galaxies from older big bang events?
Then you propose that matter which has been hoarded by black holes may be the source of the matter in subsequent big bangs, to achieve a steady state.
I like the idea you are proposing.
My biggest question is: why didn’t our “bang” blow all of the older generation of galaxies away from it such that we would never see them? My understanding is that spacetime itself is what expands / inflates in λcdm. It does so faster than the speed of light such that there is material in our universe from which light will never reach us. It’s very hard to see things outside of a universe that expands faster than the light we use to observe it. It’s spacetime itself that’s expanding, not just the objects moving apart.
But, MOND is MOdified Newtonian Dynamics, and currently doesn’t work with Einstein/GR… at all! So, if MOND is right maybe we should expect a different mechanism than Einstein expansion.
Most likely we just don’t understand what stars and nebula looked like or how they formed back before metals existed and so we don’t know how bright these galaxies should be to begin with because we don’t know how stars work without metal. The assumption in the paper is irresponsibly invalid, we can’t just assume that stars back then followed the same patterns as stars do now. Stars form from nebulae because metals condense out and coalesem creating nucleation sites for mass accretion. Earlier generations of stars would need to rely on different formation mechanisms, and likely had a different size and brightness distribution. We won’t understand these early stars and galaxies until we’ve been looking at them for at least a decade.
