Didn't Stephen Hawking say that encountering life on other planets is a turrable idea? I think we should listen to him.

I'd say let's visit, but then we would find something of theirs that we want and ultimately ruin another civilization.
And how would this planet work exactly? There is no night? So the planet never rotates eh? So wouldn't it need more than 1 sun? Or does this planets Sunlight reflect off another things surrounding it?
I don't understand because of our obvious source of light and how we obtain it here. The earth rotates, so we receive light at different times.. But how does this work?
It's definitely interesting, but am I understanding the article correctly?
No one answered this question in four pages? (mentioned in 1st)
The article mentioned the orbit of the planet being like our moon. Since the amount of time it takes for the moon to rotate is the exact amount of time it takes to circle the earth, you end up seeing just one side of the moon.
Well its easier this way. take a ball and put it on the ground next to a reference object (say, a quarter or a baseball). Point the logo side of the basketball towards the reference object and move the ball in a circle around the object (don't roll it) if you dont rotate the ball the side opposite the logo will eventually face the reference object. Now take the ball and move it around the reference object while always keeping the logo side of the ball pointed towards the reference object. You're rotating it. That's what that planet is doing around its sun and what the moon does around us.
That would mean perpetual night on one side of the planet. Depending on what angle axis the planet is tilted on it may still have seasons despite it's tidal locked orbit.
Someone let me know if I'm wrong please, I barely remembered the class where I learned this stuff

Probably writing how our planet is just a bunch of hairless monkeys running around thinking that they doing it.

word how can they know so much about a planet so far awayOriginally Posted by J de PHX
It's over 100 trillion miles away though. Won't it be thousands of years before we even get near there?
Things like this make me want to live for a long time
