M.42 is 30 light years in diameter. Wow. I never knew there was planets that's millions of times bigger than our sun, and hundreds of thousands bigger than our solar system. Sun all way to pluto is 5 1/2 light-hours. Your planet is HUGE.

Somehow I don't think the planet has a 30 LY diameter... I haven't checked but I think you'll find it's the Orion Nebula which that figure refers to.

From memory, a black hole can form out of a star >3 times the size of ours, so if a planet formed that was as large as 30LY it would certainly collapse under it's own mass.

Would it collapse?

Would it?

The planet is hidden within the gas cloud.

M.42 is 1500 light years from Earth.

M.42 is 30 light years in diameter.


Hmm maybe I'm mis-reading it. Is M.42 a planet or gas cloud? I'm reasonable sure it's gas cloud.

The Alien has a question.
The whole Universe runs on fusion,
Why do humans still use oil?

Given the price of oil in recent times....don't make alot of sense, does it. There's an abundance of technology that isn't being used to its full potential because fossil fuel producers would rather see it shelved somewhere dark and hidden.

Geez, wouldn't it be nice if one of our wise alien neighbours would advise on how we could use our resources more efficiently.....and the 'not so wise' powers that be, actually took it.

Our Universe i only one of many out there and they are all expanding constantly. But they are linked to each other by a small passage, though the gravitation is so strong in there, that anything trying to go through there would explode. Perhaps we sometimes in the future could find out a way to expand those passages. It would be interesting to have a day-picnic in another universe...

Hey Joe (think there's a song in there somewhere) I now know what you mean by anti-gravity, and that it really exists...the meds I'm taking make my head feel like its floating above my body

Every so often I have to grab it hold (both hands), just ta be sure it don't anti-gravitationalise into orbit or something

Hyperspace & antigravity are being seriously looked into: http://www.newscientist.com/channel/fundamentals/mg18925331.200.html

GREAT QUESTION!
Fusion is the process that powers the sun and the stars. It is the reaction in which two atoms of hydrogen combine together, or fuse, to form an atom of helium. In the process some of the mass of the hydrogen is converted into energy. The easiest fusion reaction to make happen is combining deuterium (heavy hydrogen) with tritium (heavy-heavy hydrogen) to make helium and a neutron.
Deuterium is plentifully available in ordinary water. Tritium can be produced by combining the fusion neutron with the abundant light metal lithium. Thus fusion has the potential to be an inexhaustible source of energy.

The Human Brain explained and so the question "might" be answered (or not) The human brain is the most complex organ in the human body. It produces our every thought, action, memory, feeling and experience of the world.
This jelly-like mass of tissue, weighing in at around 1.4 kilograms, contains a staggering one hundred billion nerve cells, or neurons.

Recently I mail ordered a replacement part that will remain nameless.
They sent the wrong part…
They sent return shipping labels that didn’t make it through
My spam filter.
I don’t even know where to send it back to.
At the present rate I estimate that I will receive the correct part
Just after the sun burns out…

This, is the work of the Alien…

hopefully that is far into the future, I know it doesn't help your "wrong part & return problem" but I am kind of fond of the sun!

Space travel appeals to me greatly, but I doubt that I'd wanna go to one planet in particular....cos if ya got an itch on Uranus, you'd not be able to scratch it too well thru yer space suit.

We may argue over who discovered the new world first.
But,
The universe is still up for grabs.
At least here on earth it is.
