We need to move venus outwards to 90 million miles

All the molecules would have the same momentum in the same direction ...

You're thinking of a gun not an explosion.

That's what the bacteria would do ... except the carbon would be used as food ... either for building structural members or as energy to build structural members ... once the photosynthesis starts building up oxygen we can start introducing respiratory microbes ... like green algae ...

Agreed.

You need a physics refresher course. If you were suddenly dropped into the terraformed atmosphere of Venus you would have problems but if you descended slowly, and the air in your lungs was already at 1350 psi of pressure breathing would be as easy as it would be at 15 psi.

Well that's a fine example, if all you consisted of was a perfectly passive pair of lungs. But that isn't the case. It doesn't matter if the pressure is equal, when a car is sitting on your diaphragm. Go outside and try it.

Why not? What is the case?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Why not? What is the case?

The case is that you consist of more than a pair of passive windbags with no thickness to their walls.

Try breathing with a car on your diaphragm.

If what you suggested made any sense, we wouldn’t need submersibles. Only time and pressurized air tanks.

A collision ... but yeah ... like a long-barreled shotgun ...

If the pressure within my body equals the pressure of the surrounding water there is no car.

Would we need submersibles if we could breath water like fish do?

I thought you said we could just use high pressure gas to breath. Why cant we?

Why can't divers?

You still have to muster the strength to displace space against 1350 psi. Deep divers breathing pressurized air report having problems breathing and filling their lungs because of the external pressure.

We need to move venus outwards to 90 million miles using massive solar sails.. Solar sails hundreds of miles in size causing displacement that would allow for the planet to drift outwards. This would probably take hundreds of years, but we could place the planet into a cooler orbit and terraform the atmosphere into a more habitual one.


Ruling over two similar sized planets would be nice.

We should probably learn to manage a budget before moving planets around.

I'm not sure the Sun puts out enough solar wind to move something the size of a planet no matter how big the sails

Sunlight propels a solar sail, not the solar wind

Sunlight and the Solar Winds are made up of protons this is what pushes a solar sail.

Lemme borrow your planet-mover, Matthew.

Sunlight is PHOTONS.
Solar wind is the expelled gasses from the sun

The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun, called the corona. This plasma mostly consists of electrons, protons and alpha particles with kinetic energy between 0.5 and 10 keV.

Yes ... we know ... however, the photons also carry momentum ... we say only they are zero mass at rest ...

Yet none of that has anything to do with how solar sails work.

Again. Solar sails work off REFLECTED LIGHT, not plasma from the sun

Do a little more research instead of digging that hole you're in
