    Gas Venus
Click For Summary
The discussion explores the hypothesis that Venus's spin has halted due to a "design flaw," resulting in extreme heat that could have evaporated its oceans and transformed it into a gas giant-like state. This transformation is likened to the characteristics of gas giants such as Uranus and Jupiter, which are known to generate more heat than they receive from the sun. The author expresses a desire to investigate the similarities between Venus and gas giants further, despite having multiple ongoing projects. There is a suggestion to prepare for a new submission to an outside-the-mainstream forum to continue this line of inquiry. The conversation emphasizes the need for further exploration of these planetary dynamics.

My Venus- thread that leads a disgraceful existence in crackpots corner may be known here. It argues, supported by lots of evidence that Venus'spin has come to a standstill due to a "design flaw", generating an enormous heat in the process. This would have evaporated the oceans and dissocated the water, I tried to visualize how that would have looked at then another flash hit, probably like a gas giant like Uranus, Jupiter etc. A large gas ball with a denser but very hot core.

Hmmm

The gas giants all seem to be generating more heat than they receive from the sun.

Maybe not so much difference at all. Must investigate, but I have three more projects running.

Any ideas?

Thread 'Population 3 star (Pop III) candidate LAP1'

"Pop III stars are thought to be composed entirely of helium and hydrogen with trace amounts of lithium, the ingredients left over after the Big Bang. They formed early on, around 200 million years after the universe began. These stars are extremely rare because they died out long ago, although scientists have hoped that the faint light from these distant, ancient objects would be detectable. Previous Population III candidates have been ruled out because they didn't meet the three main...
