Do you have a favorite planet?

[Matthew Mussolini]

I used to enjoy studying planets and asking people what their favorite dinosaur is, while stoned on marijuana or psychedelics.

However, I don't let any chemical that can cause delusions into my system anymore.

I sometimes miss it, but with drugs that can cause delusions, best thing for self and society is to avoid getting near such chemicals, and avoid tempting situations.

But when stoned, thinking about planets, what their purpose is, why they exist, was entertaining.

I like Jupiter, Neptune, Venus, and Saturn. Venus is probably my favorite, because of the link it has with the Roman Goddess of love, sexuality, romance, and beauty , as well as it's link to Mesopotamian Queen of Heaven Inanna.

Venus is also "The morning star", 8 pointed star that Babylonian Monarchs wore, and Lucifer , the Virgin Mary, and Jesus are all called "Morning Star".

Some of those are not technically planets. Do you like one more than the others.

It has to be a planet, star, moon, or a place on the image, where no cities have been carpet bombed, and no mass murderers live on, for your vote as "favorite", and not every planet in the picture qualifies.

But you can say the Sun and that counts

[Matthew Mussolini]

Nothing survives without the Sun.

[Undies]

So I can list the sun as my favorite planet but not earth, which is actually my favorite planet?

I've always found Venus interesting. It sounds pretty dystopian as far as planets go. I don't remember the exact stats, but I think I remember it being super hot, super poisonous, and none of that matters because you would be instantly crushed when you enter the atmosphere.

On a vaguely related subject, I recently saw a video simulating a heavy object falling on a car in various planets' gravities. It was an interesting watch, I'll try to remember to look for it when I get home.

If I were looking to join a forum, I would not be deterred because one person posts some stupid threads about dead dictators. I probably would avoid signing up if every thread has some guy brutally attacking the thread starter for starting the thread though.

I like Venus, also for the connotation to the Goddess of love

But the reality of the planet isn't all soft and romantic. The reality is that Venus will smelt both man and lead alike. Bitch will fuck your shit up

good for her

Big ups for including Pluto.

this is it. i don't know if it's actually accurate, but i hope so.

If you're including stars, I'll mention my favorite type, although I don't know the names of any particular one, I'm sometimes stoned when learning this stuff.

Pulsars are my favorite, they are neutron stars, incredibly dense and spin crazy fast, to such an extent, beams of radiation shoot off of them across vast distances of space

They were originally called LGM (Little Green Men) referring to the frequency at which the radiation pulses were picked up were so regular that they thought it to potentially be a signal from aliens.

Their composition is extremely weird, I wish I knew particle physics to explain it better but as the name suggests they are made of neutrons on the surface and an inner layer is referred to as "Nuclear Pasta" (obvious FSM evidence) and is supposedly some extremely bizarre state of matter, there may even be another layer that would have to be made of some sort of exotic matter or something we don't know about... (Perhaps it's a synchronicity generator). The surface can have "star quakes" like we have earth quakes.


As far as planets, Jupiter was the most fascinating to me growing up. Massive Size, storms raging for centuries, and it just looked cooler than every other planet, perhaps with the exception of Saturn.

[Matthew Mussolini]

this is it. i don't know if it's actually accurate, but i hope so.

That is fascinating!

[Matthew Mussolini]

That is fascinating!

I thought the Sun gravity was insane. Even if temperatures were bearable on the sun, and there was food and water there, I don't think people could function or survive with gravity like that.

I still don't understand how people went about proving what the gravitational pull is, how it began, what would cause it to exist , and vary so much from planet to planet.

yeah i'm sure we'd be instantly crushed in that gravity. way worse than venus.

i have no clue how people first figured it out, but i assume they can calculate it based on what orbits the planets and how far away it is. which of course means the sun would be required to have a massive gravitational pull, in order to hold all these planets in orbit, some of which are really far away from it. the only part of the calculation that really confuses me is that i assume you would need to know the mass of the moons or whatever is in orbit, and i'm not sure how you figure that out. unless it's based on the planet's gravity and the distance of orbit, but then we're back were i started; you can't use gravity to figure out mass and use mass to figure out gravity of the same thing.

Neptune, because it was in conjunction with the sun and the moon at my birth.

[Matthew Mussolini]

Neptune, because it was in conjunction with the sun and the moon at my birth.

Oh wow! That took me by surprise, because Sarah Stern, killed by her best friend for ten thousand dollars in Neptune City, she is part of my litany of Capitol Hill Queens who I pray to in a litany every morning, that her name is in.

Sarah means princess , and was the name of Abraham's wife, and Abraham means "Father of many".

When I saw the blue car in the above video, I was reminded of Neptune being blue, but because she lived in Neptune City, which has a nice shrine to honor her, (because she was never found, a shrine that includes a butterfly).

But I called her the patron Saint of Neptune City her hometown, and Neptune the planet, furthest from the sun.

I know Kami would never bless dishonesty, so I'm not lying.

I had greater devotion to Sarah this morning than other days, praying to her for grace to never desire much money (because she was killed for money), and I was praying to never be greedy.

So, it is an actual trip that you are saying Neptune was in conjunction with the sun and the moon at your birth, because while chanting my litany, praying for the intentions, will, desires, dreams come true, glory, and perfection, of the "Queens of Heaven", I mentioned "Sarah Neptune Stern" more than once, where I usually just invoke names once in a litany.

If she did become patron Saint of Neptune like I thought, that might make her one of your patron Saints who prays for you.

I love Neptune though. I mentioned it as one of my favorites in the OP before you said anything.

It's my favorite color:

• I appreciate you telling me that , Neon.
• A year on Neptune lasts 165 Earth years. None of us lives a year of Neptune.
• Neptune is named after the Roman god of the sea.
• Neptune has 6 faint rings.

An apple fell on Issac Newton's head... That's probably a myth but basically people started exploring gravity with Earth objects before planetary objects. Newton saw gravity as a force which still, to this day, effectively works to describe gravity on Earth but Einstein saw gravity as a curvature of space and the more mass of an object, the more curved space around it or the stronger gravitational pull. I believe Einstein's theory became accepted for celestial objects after some calculation of Mercury's orbit where his predictions varied from Newton's.
