    Time Travel and the space-time continuum

    If someone were able to travel back in time and change an event in history which resulted in a divergent timeline from the one you came from would both timelines be part of the same space-time continuum? I suspected they could be because part of their timelines are shared and connected to...

    If there was steal between earth and the sun instead of a vacuum

    well actually according to this: the atmosphere of the sun gets pretty hot so I'm not even sure what would be an appropriate value to use as a tempurature. It would be nice to have an equation where I can input my own core temperature and see the various tempuratures of the steel at...

    If there was steal between earth and the sun instead of a vacuum

    Yes this is what I'm after, the steady state after the sun has been explosed to steel 63 million miles thick. Once equilibrium is reached, what would be the tempuratures along the steel sphere surrounding the sun. Given that the surface of the sun is around 6,000 Kelvin. This should be a...

    If there was steal between earth and the sun instead of a vacuum

    I'm witnessing an argument elsewhere about whether a vacuum is a good insulator in space. Person 1 said this: Person 2 said this: I said this: what would really happen if the vacuum between us and the sun were replaced with steel?

    Accuracy of the exploding asteroids in The Empire Strikes Back movie
