I never got an intuitive understanding of what it is or how it behaves. Electromagnetism can be hard, but it's rather easy to grasp. It's only one dimension (how much charge, one number, there aren't different types of electric charge), although I don't really understand why the magnetic force isn't a kind of charge here. What makes electromagnetism easier than the others, too, is that the exchange particle (the photon) has no charge itself. The strong force is different in both ways: there's thee independent charges (called color) and the exchange particles (gluons) do carry color charged and thus can interact with each other. But at least the exchange particles have no rest mass. And photons and gluons don't interact with each other - neither have gluons electric charge, nor the photon has color charge. Weak force having none of the easy part. I have no idea what charge is for the weak force. The exchange particles can have an electric charge and aren't massless. That's pretty much all I know about it. If you know more, please share.

You should probably check out Roger Zelazny's 1971 novel "Jack of Shadows" to make sure your story doesn't accidentally tread on his. That novel is set on a tidally-locked planet, with the darkside and dayside acting as a metaphor for magic/fantasy vs. technology/sci-fi. Zelazny's story tends more toward the fantasy rather than sci-fi side, though, being primarily set on the darkside with a relatively brief journey to the dayside in the middle.

Is this nonsense or does it also play a role?

It's worth adding that in our solar system Venus is an example of a planet that is very advanced in tidal locking to sun, as it's currently has only 2 Venus days in 1 Venus year (116,75 Earth Days per one Venus Day, and 224,7 Earth Days per one Venus year), so it's pretty much an even worse example of a deadly planet, as even if it had a nice atmosphere that would be ok for life (Earth like density, chemical composition, no poisonous gasses everywhere) it would still most likely could not have any complex life on it, as it would have a slowly moving scorched earth side, and a slowly moving polar side, so the zone decent for life would be also on the move, so no static life could develop there, like plants (except for some ultra extremophile plant life).

@jacobkrebs5026

It's a good idea, but there's a few wrong assumptions here. 1) the reason venus is so hot is because of the greenhouse gas clouds. These clouds reflect 70% of the light. Much of the sun's radiation does not even reach the lower atmosphere, and is not a source of heating. The bigger issue is that there is no tectonic activity and water. Water dissolves the greenhouse gases, which react with the surface to form carbonates and sulfates. These are subducted into the mantle, which regulates greenhouse gases. Venus could very well be habitable if tectonic activity could be restarted. In reality, slow rotators (venus as you said is not tidally locked) cannot be tidally locked if they have an atmosphere. The atmosphere and oceans axtually distribute heat so equilibrium is reached across the surface, even on the shaded side.

@fabiomorandi3585

2 жыл бұрын

Actually, Venus spins once on its rotational axis every 243,69 Earth Days, which makes its sidereal day slightly longer than its year. The only reason its solar day, the time from one dawn to the next, is "only" 116,75 Earth Days is the fact Venus spins on its axis clockwise while orbiting around the Sun counterclockwise, not only making its solar day shorter than its sidereal one but the Sun also rise in the west and set in the east.

Always a pleasure learning aside you and all the crazies! Thanks Nick!

I would imagine that the absence of the rotating day/night cycle, changing seasons and tides would make the environment far more static in any one place, even with a wild variation from day to night side, making them far less likely to develop life.

Also, the evolutionary pressure of a locally fluctuating climate would be far more effective at producing higher forms of life. A stagnant environment would produce stagnant life. In a way, just like the infamous rat utopia experiment, what is "more comfortable for life" is paradoxically not so good for life. Life needs a little discomfort to force it to grow and adapt. All that being said, I stiil think tidally locked planets could produce intelligent life, i just think earth-like rotating planets are better at it.

One of the more interesting videos in this channel. Since the age of the universe is only around 13.8 billion years, anything that takes longer than that to happen have not happened yet, even if it could happen. Just like black dwarf. 7:13 divide by 0 is undefine, not infinity. But that's what usually the scientists or physicists would say, in contrast to mathematicians. What's actually true is if the bottom number approaches 0, then the top approaches infinity. But then, no object is perfectly rigid / sphere. Infinity in this case would just kinda mean it would not happen. But of course something would eventually get in the way to prevent something to happen if the time required is long enough. Death of the star, external interference, proton decay, expansion of the universe, heath death, etc.
