    Gas Venus
AI Thread 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?

Any ideas?

We're closing up shop on TD soon. Best to prepare a new submission for the upcoming outside-the-mainstream forum in order to rekindle the discussion...

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect...

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
