I'm lazy tonight. Help me out here.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Your observation would be trivially true even if we'd only ever discovered one extrasolar planet.Comment

I remember reading somewhere that Jupiter is a "substar" and an "infra-red dwarf." That is, there's enough heat generated by its internal friction, so that it gives off more heat than it receives from the sun but, it does not generate enough heat to trigger fusion.Originally posted by MRT144 View Post
Expanding on MRT's comment, if 5-10 times the mass of Jupiter is insufficient to trigger fusion, just how much mass is needed for a gas giant to become a star?

All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.Comment

I have to agree with Asher.Originally posted by Asher View Post
I thought Kuci would point out that it is expected of such discoveries to come in bunch because once you get sufficient technology to detect exo-planets, you find many.
That would have made a lot more sense than what we were actually served

Explain what you think they mean by this and why you think there's a problem with the statement as is.Originally posted by Berzerker View Post12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET
