Could Planets Have Dual Cores Similar to Cell Structures?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the possibility of planets having dual cores, drawing an analogy to cell structures and conjoined twins. It suggests that while the idea may seem unconventional, there could be some validity to it. However, the consensus is that planetary formation and collisions typically result in molten states, which would likely prevent the formation of dual cores. If a planet with dual cores were to exist, it would likely be in a highly unusual situation. Overall, the concept remains speculative and unlikely based on current understanding of planetary formation.

This i know sounds like a really odd question, but thinking along the Lines that i am.. i guess it has a sense of validity.

Could it be Possible, that Planets exist with Dual cores that internally orbit inside a Planet.. or partially joined. Thinking along the lines of Cell structure and how "Conjoined Twins" develop..

Probably not. When planets form or collide together to form a larger planet they are usually molten or become molten. This would probably preclude two cores forming. If one did exist, the planet would most likely be in a very unusual situation.
 

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.

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...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
