Super Size This


There is a storm on the planet Jupiter that is twice as large as the Earth about 300 years old and doesn’t stop, or at least it hasn't shown any signs of stopping. Just blew your mind, didn't I. Did you know that a blue whale has heart the size of a VW beetle? Blew your mind again. I was just thinking about amazing things today, mostly relating to size. The earth is 11 times smaller than Jupiter. Imagine humanity on a planet that big. We might still be exploring like Magellan. Of course, if we did live on a planet with that much mass we would probably be about 3 feet tall and have thighs like tree trunks just in order to walk around. I take that back, human's would have no chance with that much gravity. If intelligent live existed on a planet that large than it would be so different from human that it would need a different name. Maybe something like Dangpods, because they would definitely be pod people of some sort. Go Phelps!

Maybe if life did evolve on Jupiter it would just be 11x better in every way than earth life since it is 11x more massive..?

The interesting question I find my self pondering is what would life be composed of? Jupiter is a gas giant, meaning that it is made up of mostly frozen hydrogen and helium gas. It is really far from the sun so what would be the prime energy source to create life?

That's not Jupiter. It's a Big Mac

Max Android - Great thoughts...

Honestly, I'm don't think life is possible on Jupiter. At least not any sort of life we are familar with. However, if there was extensive terraforming done and Jupiter was stable. Then....hmmm

Nope nothing can ever live their, unless they are a super advance alien race with gravity control and endless power supplies.
