Nice, but who would colonize place like this?

Make it Orky!!!!

>>6103053

Manly Men

>>6103053
WHO THE FUCK WOULDN'T COLONIZE A PLANET LIKE THIS?!

>>6103053

Mining there would certainly be pretty easy. Just run around with buckets to collect the rain.

Life Insurance premiums would be a bitch though.

>>6103155
>run around
On the MOLTEN SURFACE?

>>6103053
According to the article, it is a tidal locked planet, meaning that it has no "days" or rotation. So, the far side of the planet is around 50 degrees above above absolute 0 (So thats what? -275 celcius or something?) That side could be colonized. Sorta. Or rather, rape that side for metals and such. It is an earth density planet, so metals abound in the crust. Surely you could get some mining going on the planet. Not sure about cost feasibility though...

I swear that as I live I will find a reason to send my Traveller players to this place.

Rocks will fall.

Well if they were seeking colonizers, I'd insta voulenteer. That's certain.

>>6103232
i already picked out a nice spot on the border of the day/night sides

>>6103219
Continuing:
Most of the "workers" would have to be robots and shit, but at least the company that mines could do so without worry about the "environment" or some shit.

Course, what would a sci fi game be without a robot uprising or some shit?

>>6103219
>(So thats what? -275 celcius or something?)

-223 celcius, absolute zero is -273.

>>6103220
>Rocks will fall.

Ba-dum PSSH

>>6103268
here you go

>>6103253
I heard that place is looovely

>>6103264
so what happens absolute zero?
can it get any colder then that or is that like the "limit" on how cold it can get

>>6103203

Speed boats. Teams of miners on speed-boats, zipping around on the molten lava using buckets to collect precious metals as they fall from the sky.

>>6103291
Are the boats made of non-meltium?

>>6103253

Temperatures at the border would probably be fun. Lots of weather.

But what about the uh, gravity n' stuff?

>>6103287
Actually, it can.

And no, i don't understand it. My friend (who's a dual major Mathematics/physics grad student) explained it to me.

Somehow you use lasers to cool atoms below absolute zero.

>>6103304
its earth sized so gravity may be around the same

>>6103311
Lasers.

Dear god...

>>6103301

Yes.

Some sort of ceramic, probably.

>>6103287
It's an impossible cold, where everything is frozen in place, every molecule has zero kinetic energy. Of course, it's postulated that this is impossible, naturally and artificially, to create.

>>6103314
Well almost twice as big, but comparing to suns and that, it's nothing.

>>6103311
non-science guy here
so cooling is when things lose their energy and slow down. so would aboslute zero be when the atoms stop moving all together?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_zero

>>6103334
To my understanding.

But like I said, my friend explained experiments where they go past that.

It's got something to do with energy levels, and having more of high energy atoms than low energy atoms.

I was drunk. He ruined the drunk.

>>6103311
No. Absolutely zero is the point at which atoms stop moving. You know the entire reason heat exists? You can get something to absolutely zero (at least theoretically) but below absolute zero is an impossibility.

>>6103366
Okay. I'm not going to argue with you. I don't understand it.

I will say this though: he is a particle physicist. i trust him.

>>6103264
Sorry, couldn't remember the damn number. It's been awhile.

Either way, you would need space suits and shit to walk around on the surface on the "cold" side. Course, mines and stuff could be climate controlled for the mining bots.

>>6103334
Absolute zero is one of those fun things that's impossible to observe, because being able to observe it would mean that there's some amount of energy being bounced around, and thus it wouldn't be absolute zero.

Look at it this way: you perceive colors because light is bouncing off the atoms of whatever you're looking at. If the atoms were completely at rest, you wouldn't be able to detect any light - but if there was any light being bounced around the atoms, then they wouldn't be completely at rest.

>>6103366
NONSENSE!
WHEN ATOMS GET COLDER THAN ABSOLUTE ZERO, THEY START MOVING BACKWARD IN TIME.

what would happen to a person exposed to temperatures anywhere near absolute zero? would it be along the lines of what happens to those poor fucks in crysis? instant human popsicle

>>6103413
Cryogenics.

>>6103384
Absolute zero is a situation when there is literally ZERO energy in an environment. To get a lower temperature would require the environment have negative energy which is completely impossible.

Either your friend is talking bollocks or you misunderstood him.

Oh and umm, friend of physics nerd here.
*cough*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature

I'm right, you're wrong.

I still don't get it.

>>6103366
So when you cool something to absolute zero, does it mean that it ceases to exist because?n You know, if it was possble...

>>6103425
No, a human popsickle would be a better example. Cryogenics is weird, as the human body kinda dies.

>>6103425
yah but in crysis they used it as a weapon the froze a entire fucking island solid and those bot things froze and shatterd people like it was going out of style

>>6103442

>By contrast, a system with a truly negative temperature is not colder than absolute zero; in fact, temperatures colder than absolute zero are impossible. Rather, a system with a negative temperature is hotter than any system with a positive temperature (in the sense that if a negative-temperature system and a positive-temperature system come in contact, heat will flow from the negative- to the positive-temperature system).

Well.

>>6103442
Didn't read that article very well, did you?

No, you're still wrong.

>>6103366
What about below sub-zero?

>>6103460
Hey! Stop that! I was on this thread first!

>>6103449
water molocules would form ice crystals inside your cells and shred them apart. frost bite is a bitch

Probably like wormoles: "Hey guys, we used your theory and with superior computing power followed the diagram to the other end. And guess what: There's a wormhole and a white Hole at the end. Of course both of them only exist in a space perfectly free of any exterior physical pehnomena!"

If I recall correctly guys, he was arguing that you couldn't get a temperature lower than absolute zero.
>>6103366

>but below absolute zero is an impossibility.
>>6103430
>To get a lower temperature

Which is exactly what a negative temperature would be.

The molten ocean of rock evaporates into the sky where it condenses into small pebbles, which begin rocking down to the surface of the planet, completing the rock cycle in its entirety.

No doubt there are even metals and heavy metals that are carried along in this process, so there is possibly a metal cycle in addition the a rock cycle.

There are heavy metals rocking down to the surface of this planet every day.

>>6103513
This is the greatest planet ever invented by NASA

: O

>>6103513
I say, lets turn the whole fucking planet into a dorf fort.

>>6103513
make sure to bring a umbrella
made of of ceramic titanium

>>6103460
That's because they used some strange mathematical mambo jambo to make their models work...

>>6103486
reminds me of a physics joke with all these requirements

It's something to do with horse racing, and trying to come up with a way to win.
Anyway, at the end the phycisist is like 'yeah, I've come up with an equation' and everyone is all 'really'
and the physics guy is all 'yeah, but it assumes that we are in a vacuum and we have a spherical horse'

I remember there was a planet on the Tiji sector that did something similar.

Although I believe instead of molten rock rising and then falling, the planet's orbit was so strange that it caused part of the planet to rip off, including landmarks, would be ripped off the planet, orbit it for a bit, and then fall back to the planet at another point in the orbit.

ADVENTURES ON THE HELL PLANET

EPISODE SEVEN

EVERYTHING IS STILL ON FUCKING FIRE

FUCK

>>6103512
You can get a negative temperature in celsius and fahrenheit.
You cannot get a negative temperate in kelvin.

THERE.

>>6103715

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_temperature
>In physics, certain systems can achieve negative temperatures; that is, their thermodynamic temperature can be of a negative quantity. Negative temperatures can be expressed as negative numbers on the kelvin scale.

>>6103576
It was a planet with a poisonous atmosphere that rotated twenty-four times faster than Earth.

As in, one hour of Earth was an entire day on the planet.

We rule-of-cooled that the rotation was so fast that rubbles was spun off of the planet and was later drawn back in by the heavy gravity, before the cycle was repeating over again, with gigantic rocks skipping all over the planet.

>>6103633
I don't know why, but I laughed my fucking lungs out.

>>6103777
I would assume that a human on that planet would end up "bouncing"
That must be fun.

Reminds me of Crematoria from The Chronicles of Riddick.

>>6103743
how the hell do you get negative energy?

>>6103633
PREVIEW FOR EPISODE EIGHT

HERES A HINT

THINGS ARE STILL ON FIRE

GOD DAMIT WHY IS EVERYTHING ON FIRE

So, battle plan is:

Colonize the dark side of the planet
Periodically strafe the meridian that lies between the two sides in some sort of Mazinger-esque alloy forged ship and collect falling rocks
Profit

Artist conception of COROT-7b transiting orange dwarf COROT-7

>>6105011
FUCK MY EYES

WHY THE FUCK ARE WE LIVING HERE ANYWAY

>>6105041

Probably because we got conned by some megaconglomerate mining corporation that exists in abot half of all sci-fi.

The planet has a maximum surface temperature between 1800 to 2600 °C (3300 to 4700 degrees Fahrenheit). Due to the high temperature, it may be covered in lava.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COROT-7b

COMING IN EPISODE 28

THE SEASON FINALE ENDS IN A THRILLING CLIFFHANGER SCENE WHERE EVERYTHING CONTINUES TO BE ON FIRE

>>6105051
Right

Fucking blue shirts

Holy shit, it's the best death planet ever.

Corot 7b is the home to the Corotian Hellraisers, the manliest Imperial Guard regiment in the galaxy.

>>6105011
fucking awesome, lets live on a planet where if the radiation doesn't manage to kill us before the heat, We'll go blind.

>>6105183

Or we could, y'know, live on the dark side and not have to deal with solar radiation.

Fuck it, I'm cancelling Delta Green and running Traveller, purely so I can send my players to this planet. This is awesome.

OP here.

I just came back...

You guys are fucking awsome and have made my day.

>>6105202
Really? I mean, this place is pretty much the definition of 'Nuclear Chaos'. Just make it Azathoth.

>>6105202
>Fuck it, I'm cancelling Delta Green and running Traveller, purely so I can send my players to this planet.

Or just find an excuse to send them there in Delta Green.

...granted, it'd be an instant TPK...

>>6103018

>rocks fall

But everyone would die....

So just to see, I went on wikipedia to see what sort of materials mining ships for the hot side of the planet could be made of. Turns out there's lots of options, before we even begin to think of compounds.

But the best was Diamond. Mining just got fucking pimp. Speeding round lakes of molten metal in a diamond hovercraft.

Fuck yes.

>>6105271
But what if you hit a diamond wall in the air?

>>6105283
then dimond rocks fall and every one every where dies

>>6103018
Kharak is burning...

>>6105410

*manly tears*

>>6105410
You know what the history of this planet is? Do you?

Dwarfs lived there. Real dwarves. They lived in huge stone cities underground. And one day, one particular dwarf came to rule one particular city. His name was Sankis. The world burned.

>>6105053

So what you're saying is, the floor is now lava?

>>6105446
everything is lava now that or it is on the other side of the planet and is frozen solid

If Delta Green agents had a few space suits they could wander around on the other side of a dim-gate... hell even a wetsuit could keep you going for a few minutes before you froze to death on the dark side.

Rock Storms could still be a hazard on the dark side as there would be some weather crossover (errant magma mist storms spinning off to die in the dark side!)

Not sure who would live there though...even Mi-Go would die in a semi-molten boulder hale (without proper magitech prep of course!)

>>6105576
Right. Do you know what makes planets and suns hot? Especially when they have no atmosphere? It's Nuclear fusion, kay?

NUCLEAR.

So this planet is nuclear, right? And, I mean... it's pretty CHAOTIC. There's CHAOS. NUCLEAR CHAOS. Only BLIND IDIOT would want to go there. You'd have to be some kind of GOD to survive.

*ahem hem cough cough*

Any ideas?

Homebrew Chaos Marines chapter?

>>6105625
Gentlemen, we build, inside the sun.

>>6105625
Fuck, I lol'd

>>6105576

I could definitely see the "Greys" giving the puny humans at MJ-12 the technology to make Gates, except only Gates that lead to COROT-7b. Oh how they'd chuckle in their emotionless, Grey way.

>>6105625

That's Azathoth, not some perfectly normal star. Fire Vampires might go to COROT-7b for a holiday though.

>>6106220
Gentlemen, we make the buildings from the mythic plot hole material.

>>6106252
this just gets better and better

On the topic of absolute zero: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose-einstein_condensate

Basically, shit becomes entangled. When it stops moving (loses all heat) the matter involved takes on a wave-particle duality and all kinds of strange shit starts to happen.

>>6103018
Looks like a place where these guys would live.

>>6106788
Fuck them, that planet is ours.
