But corporations ARE merchants and merchants ARE the ruling class. Who protects us from the merchant monarchy? That's my question. How many times will you avoid my question? I believe this is the 5th time I've asked, for the record.

Example: Zorloc is sick of the powerful Mars Mining Co abusing the Shnnarr'Ghol people and forcing them to choose between abusive labor in the Adamantium mines or starvation. So, after stumbling across an ancient alien artifact which is worth krillions of space credits, he buys the Mars Mining Co and pays the workers a fair wage, until the old Mars Mining Co opens up a new business, the Jupiter Mining Co. Zorloc cannot compete with Jupiter's wage slave labor and is forced to return his mine to old, abusive conditions. At first he feels bad, but eventually, after several protests from his former workmates, he grows to loathe them and feels entitled to what he refers to as 'the sweat of his brow'.

I think the Renaissance Faire is in town. Live the dream.

Earth and Mars are just the tutorials; Jupiter is the real challenge.

The title makes no sence
this is not a Live video
and if anything surly any recordings of spacial fanomanon were live at the time they happend and were recorded.


Have you ever seen "live" concert footage? It's the same concept here, except with planets.

Chris Go was bound to get something like this as frequently as he records Jupiter.

YOU make no sense. All "live" videos suffer from this effect, whether they be "live" or recorded. Even if you're watching it on TV, you experience the .001 (or however many) second delay and technically lose the "live" effect.

This video was recorded "live" and is a huge HUGE achievement among astronomers, both amateur and professional. We stare at the heavens for most of our lives and hope desperately for the chance to see something like this. Seeing it is like winning the lottery. It's amazing.

No i think that's what al pacino says in Devil's Advocate - I'M A FAN O' MAN!

Westy your comments really drag me down. This is such a vacuous point but overshadowed by your spelling - which would make david mitchell cry - i hope you don't suffer from some condition which causes it, i wouldn't want to be like that, but it looks like a lack of effort. Sometimes you make posts which i genuinely can't understand.

Anyway - in your eyes, NOTHING is live, because light will ALWAYS take time to reflect from something happening and reach your eyes, or the camera, or whatever else. Even if it's a billionth of a billionth of a second, that's still a delay. 8 microseconds, 8 minutes, is anything live? Even your senses aren't live, they take time to fire electrical impulses around your body.

This IS live. But before i got on my rant-horse, i was about to say i know 12 year old whizz kids who could manufacture a more realistic looking impact than this real impact

Neat comparison Retro! I didn't realize Uranus was that much smaller than Jupiter.


URanus isn't THAT much smaller... *rimshot

Neat comparison Retro! I didn't realize Uranus was that much smaller than Jupiter.

How about - Evidence, real, physical, in your face factual evidence. Evidence doesn't care what your beliefs are. It doesn't care how you feel about a subject. Evidence is evidence and evolution is a factual reality. So is geological time and speciation. You can spout on all day long about how you "believe" the sun rotates around the earth, or that there's a mystical teapot flying around Jupiter that grants wishes. You can believe anything you want. Reality doesn't care. Reality dictates Reality. Not yours or anyone's personal attempt to do so on their own.

Talking about a lava lamp working "on Jupiter" is a little misleading since Jupiter is unlikely to have an actual surface.


I think unlikely is tad pessimistic. It seems to me that as the planet is so large and relatively cold (the radiation it emits is roughly equal to that reaching it) that the immense pressure approaching the centre would cause heavier elements to solidify, thus creating a surface.

A more valid argument to me would be whether or not the "lava" would solidify on Jupiter.

>> ^Sketch:
Seriously? There's a fucking app for that?


A droid app, it would appear.

>> ^MaxWilder:
I believe that a typical lava lamp has the liquid and semi-solid portions encased in a glass container. Wouldn't that render pressure issues irrelevant? The light bulb is also self contained in glass or similar air-tight container. All in all, I don't think outside air pressure is an issue until it becomes great enough to break the container.


Yea, if it's sealed then the only pressure change would be from the added weight of the liquids inside the lamp due to gravity, which shouldn't be much.

Temperature would be a bigger factor, depending on altitude. Talking about a lava lamp working "on Jupiter" is a little misleading since Jupiter is unlikely to have an actual surface.

Density isn't affected by gravity, after all.
Gravity affects pressure, which in turn affects density.
Solids and liquids don't compress as easily as gases, but they do compress. The amount of compression depends on the materials involved, though in this case I doubt the effect would be noticeable.
I think the atmospheric pressure on Jupiter at an altitude where the temperature is normal for us (~21C) is around 10atm, which should be fine as long as it doesn't break part of the lamp. I could imagine a situation where the red liquid gets trapped at the top, but I couldn't predict how likely that would be.


Point to you. I'd forgotten about compressibility. That said, I agree that 3G's is not likely to affect the density noticeably, especially when the continued function of the lamp actually only depends on the difference of the compressibility of the two liquids staying less than the heat-driven density changes.

The problem is definitely a bit deeper than I'd thought, but I'd still be willing to put significant money on the lamp continuing to function under quite a bit more G-force than Jupiter's.
