  3. Chemosynthetic bacteria have been found in the deepest wells ever drill into the earths surface. Whether or not it makes sense to you, no le hace, it makes sense to those that study the deep cores. http://oregonstate.edu/terra/2010/11/in-earths-deep-crust-microbes-abound/ http://www.livescience.com/29857-microbes-discovered-in-earths-crust.html http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/microbes-buried-deep-in-ocean-crust-may-form-worlds-largest-ecosystem-11966443/ http://www.bioedonline.org/news/nature-news/life-found-deep-earths-crust/ The deeper a strain of bacteri us found the more likely it to be found in isolation of other strains, or some strains do not respond well to laboratory growth conditions,mwhich means they are two specialized to live outside a confined set of growth conditions.
  4. Not true, chemosynthesis can occur deep underground just about anywhere were there is a latent heat source or chemical energy. It helps that its close to the vent only because of the motion of the water and thus the avialabikity of nutrients increase.. The rate of chemical reactions in biology 2 fold per 10'c, sobthat the more diificult the thermodynamic barrier to over come the more likely heat and catalysis will overcome the barrier. But also as heat increases so do unwanted side reactions, which is a particular problem for complex life forms. Most of these live in the thermoclines surrounding the vents. Thermally created chemisynthetic life will probably never push the development of really complex life, but it could create commensal communities of single cell organisms. Local black bodyradiation is a problem, if the object is hot enough to create hv required to create complex high energy bonds (which is not hard to do) but keep them stable long enough to fulfill function you are talkiang about temperatures in the 1500 to 5000'c range, which at production densites stable water cannot exist. Light brings those high wavelengths into contact with water but at low enough densities not to boil the water off at once. We can think of light as adding powerful talents to biology, augmenting the default talents that come about after coalescence into planet, but that for these augmentations to take place there is a need for residual water and soluble micronutrients.
  5. Granted but its only avialable to modders. I wish there were more - posters in the numbers war.
  6. A different thread the moderators said not to spread. (infinity)1/infinity
  7. Gee, no, impraclical 3/10 http://m.wickedlasers.com/arctic Workds mist powerful handheld laser.
  8. Yeah tedwins back, now we know the game will get excitingly confused. 1
  9. Not knowing what katana is i eat both of them. [burp] I send a negative energy waves equal to the masses of all the object the kerbin system across the the system at the next player.
  10. -2 . I added the i2 ---- nullified by previous post -----
  11. Hmm, i should watch where those religious kerbals decide where to build their spires. Anyway, minmus gets stuck in eclipse behind kerbin, cooling to 0'k and your drill bits shatter at that temperature. I send a sputnik launch to a hyperbolic orbit that leave the kerbol system.
  12. Well you could try flapping your flukes and moaning -3 (-)
  13. If you flap your wings real hard and chirp, it might help you. -3 (-)
  14. [Snap].....[burp] I gather science from the lauchpad. This requires a capsule, simple crew report and recover vessel.
  15. Its not the mods, the thread has the invincible cheat.
  16. But its the way, hmm, now i guess i have to respond -3 (-)
  17. Strictly speaking that's not technical English. Spent should be used instead of spend. Superlatives like "too many", "too much" or prejoratives are to be avoided. "Isn't", "as high as most people think". If i see more than one of these in a manuscript it gets sent back for a technical English rewrite. I'm counting about two of these per paragraph.
  18. When they talk about accidents, most traffic accidents are the result of several unexpected coincidental events, so the reality is that a vehicle that avoids such coincidences by slowing down or avoiding high risk situations whike generally not be causal.
