  • Without the Sun our world would be a frozen wasteland, and for this reason any efforts to colonize the galaxy must focus on huddling in the tiny oases of warmth around stars, separated from each other by enormous gulfs of interstellar space. But what if we could make our own stars at the places of our choosing? And can we merely mimic nature or create stars unlike anything which nature has formed?

      Isaac can you please explain to me here why this video I post here (the entity that designed our world speaks 🖖🐶. Why is it my second fave scene on screen ever. ROTJ when daddy says to his son "so.. you have a twin sister.. If you do not ........ ..... perhaps she.... etc... " always gets me... brrr.
      Anyway why is this so brilliant and how is it so relatable to our fragile and confusing condition?

And often they were boring, repeating the same old things. And now, every other day, a new video about Isaac Arthur, Fraser Cain etc. We slowly got used to this, but If I had to move back 20 years in time, I think It would feel like I was cut off from the civilisation.

    Oooh, Subterrainian Cities - cool! Have you read The Descent (book) by Jeff Long? It was great! The movie wasn't anything like it, although a good movie. The book and its sequel (Deeper) both contained underground cities. He also had a couple of other Sci-Fi books I enjoyed. I recommend The Descent as the "the book of the video" selection for underground cities/civilizations. (CS Lewis' A Horse and His Boy also had an interesting underground city/civilization.)

    I wonder if fission stars are possible.

    • @hosmerhomeboy
      @hosmerhomeboy 5 лет назад +13

      I'd bet they are, since enough fissionable material crammed tightly enough will lead to a chain reaction. No idea how long one could last though, I think to get one to exist for more than mere instants it would have to have the right composition and density of fissionable elements. Seems to me it would need to be far more unenriched uranium and thorium than say u238 or plutonium. something with a lower nuclear output or cross section would have to be used for the bulk of the matter to gain gravity and density. Perhaps it would even need to be doped with things that are lighter but will accept new particles to become larger, unstable particles to absorb some radiation. Seems that they would never form naturally, but I bet a k3 civ could make one for kicks.

    • @bigchungus6827
      @bigchungus6827 5 лет назад +8

      @@hosmerhomeboy You generally don't want a chain reaction in a star, though. Stars are stable if they have a constant fusion speed that's in equilibrium with it's gravity (I believe isaac mentioned this). If you have a runaway chain reaction the imbalance is gonna tear the star apart pretty darn quick.

    • @treasurehunter3744
      @treasurehunter3744 5 лет назад +2

      If you think about it, earth has one in its core.
      It has enough radioactive material to keep it pretty hot in the core. Now, we'd need a lot more to make earth glow, but either by decay, or by a nuclear chain reaction, it is possible.
      For the fission chain reaction, it would be controlled by the density, which would be controlled by the temperature. It should stabilize, as long as you had plenty of breeding fuel.
      Of course, I haven't experimented with that.

    A god-damned K3 stay at home civilization. That is both inspiring and terrifying. But I think you nailed it, a K3 seems unlikely to just be a scaled up K2 (Dyson swarms around virtually every star) because without ftl its not really a civilization, but this is the same population and energy (even if for a somewhat smaller galaxy) and its essentially local.
    It makes me wonder what kind of shift is needed to spark a K4 Civ.

    Going into this video I was filled with a little trepidation-a recent story I wrote included a K2 machine-intelligence civilization building a ring of stars using the "gas giant smooshing" technique. They were farming said stars with Dyson swarms, of course, as well as using starlifting to gather the materials needed to build said swarms and more ships to send out to gather more giants. They were in it for the long haul.
    Surprise surprise, however, when I find you touch on exactly this method. Thank you for yet another wonderful episode and building this amazing resource for writers such as myself to "get things mostly right".
