I'm back. And I got a bunch of books that I haven't read.

Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman!
Sky people (the 1st one)
Last 3 books in the Worldwar series (then I have the last 4 overall after this)
And the Foundation trilogy

Just got the three-body problem!! Can't wait to read it.

So I found out today there's a Robin Hood 2058 in production.

I actually want to see it, even though there's a 99.99% chance it's going to be bad. I just hope it's the "so bad it's good" side of things.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!!

Avenger's Endgame comes out the day after my birthday!

Still several days before a weekly update on the main post, but I've recently hit over 10,000 words on The Children Between Worlds. Less than a week in as well Maybe I'll get to 12k tomorrow.

Anyone doing NaNoWriMo tomorrow? I'm reviving The Children Between Worlds Yes, that one.

Looks like I'll be Newt Scamander for Halloween.

Youtube is down for everyone, nooooo. I wanted to watch some Isaac Arthur videos before I wrap up

Worked out some values for a civilization in a book that may be familiar to you... (Hint. It's on the forums)

Parent star (Unnamed): K2-type. 0.85x the mass and 0.88x the radii of the Sun. With 0.61x the luminosity (Values from "How to build a star" by Artifexian) Inner HZ limit ~0.74 AU, outer HZ limit ~1.07 AU.

Main planet (Unnamed): Temperate Terra. 0.37x the mass, and 0.66x the radius. With ~1.22x the density of Earth, and ~0.85 g on the surface. Semi-major axis: 0.75 AU, orbital period: 278.9 days. (Values from "Terrestrial worlds: physical characteristics" also by Artifexian)
Speculative/Random values: Day/Night cycle, 19 hours, 13 minutes. Axial tilt: 33 degrees (Within the range of a habitable planet, from "Seasonbuilding 101"). Atmospheric pressure, 1.6 atm. Gases and temperature are subject to change. (From "Designing Earth-like atmospheres") 10.8 Celsius. Atm gases, 68.5% N2, 27.6% O2, 2.5% Ar, 1% CO2, 0.4% trace gases. (You can see why it's subject to change. I don't know of calculators/calculations that can give me a quick and dirty temperature value based on CO2 concentration, albedo, and atm pressure).

Moon (Unnamed): Temperate Selena: 0.00227x the mass, and 0.1476 the radii of Earth. giving it a surface gravity of 0.104 g. It orbits 's 30 planetary radii (Based on the above planet) out from the planet, giving it an orbital period of 15.88 days. (From "terrestrial Moons")

Now I need to find the geostationary height of the planet, think of tectonics, albedo, and of some interesting aliens. Finally, filling in the gaps for the rest of the solar system. Whew  

I know a lot of people are tired of reboots/remakes/live-action versions but damn I'm excited for this. One of my favorite shows. I've wanted to see these battles and characters in live action for a long time. The best part is that the original creators are a part of it.

It's embarrassing to say this, but I haven't read Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy yet. On the plus side, I just got it today, so that will change

I got Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds yesterday!!

Sorry for my absence, I was at Dolly wood with my family, and I got back yesterday. It was a lot of fun, we were also with my aunt and uncle, and we went on rollercoasters, looked at the glass shops, did the forbidden caverns, and a lot more.

I was going to post this in the SpaceX thread, but I didn't want to throw it off. But it has over a quarter million views!!! I wonder how long it'll take to reach a million. A few more years?

Yeah, yeah. This is a excrementspost, so here's something a bit more serious.
A video about designing Earthlike atmospheres!

We're seeing Infinity war this afternoon! Super excited for it xD I heard it was really, really dark too, so that sounds really good.

Hey guys

Do you think I should make a thread for this?

Anyway, 1 week until I'm a legal adult!

The new infinity war trailer has me shook

I'm taking a look at some of my early posts trying to jog my memory of one of them... sorry for being an idiot.

I know this is more than half an hour late, but happy New years!!

I've been playing stellaris all day.

No, I do not regret it.

Anyway, I have 9 planets, and terraforming another. But there were practically NONE tundra, artic, or alpine worlds near me, which stunted my growth, and let my neighbors box me in. So I'm pretty clustered. Thankfully they like me.

And because of me needing frontier outposts to keep territory, my influence dropped, so when my scientists and leaders started to die, research went slow, and I couldn't get new ones.

Ascension perks are good, should be able to get megastructures at some point, and my tech level is ok, but everyone is superior or overwhelming (again, crap planets at the start). I think I'll increase the hab planet percentage and play in a small galaxy next time (I'm in a tiny one).

I think it's picking up again though, mineral/energy production are around 50-65 right now, unity is really high too 70 something I think, my food limit is still 200, but I'm making more than enough, and I have a 4.4k fleet. I also have 400-500 influence, somewhere around there.

Hey everyone!

So.............. writing.

I have some pretty good ideas for Infinitum, I think you'll like them And I think the storyline will be infinitely better honestly. I'll release a brief overview of the plot on the main thread before Christmas.

My friend and I are busy with our Urban/Science fantasy novel Nathan Frost Exousia Project.
And lemme tell you, it's probably the coolest thing I've ever worked on, Harry Potter? Heh, we're gonna blow it out of the water.

I really really want to finish Infinitum and The Children Between Worlds, so I'll probably be doing those simultaneously while my friend and I are planning it out.

But, er, I'm starting Calculus soon. Any tips please? I really suck at math Once it clicks, it's great! But it takes so. long. to get to that point.
I don't need a step by step guide, just important rules, general stuff, and things to remember, etc

According to the calculator here; the potentially habitable world K2-18b has a surface gravity of 14.9 m/s^2, or 1.52x the gravity of Earth. Not bad in all honesty; considering it's almost 2.3x the radius of Earth. But it's probably a super water-world. Could be fun for JWST to check out

Oh my God, I'm so hyped right now!!

Theorize all you want, but I'm not replying, nor confirming anything
