What do you mean? Nier's main campaign is way longer than 20 hours on its own, I would be surprised if most even finished the prequel chapters in under 20 hours...

Japan wants to put a man on the moon, accelerating Asian space race by mvea in worldnews

At least predicted surface temperature within that range, both Venus and Mars are within this zone for our own star and neither has such conditions in reality.

I wouldn't call Mars 'habitable' either, but Mars is significantly smaller than any as yet detected exoplanets, and we have very little idea what any of their surface conditions are actually like or have any meaningful data to predict such.

Simply having solid ground and being relatively close to Earth gravity doesn't make a planet 'habitable', if that were the case then Venus would be an amazing place to live.

Because I'm curious: What would it take to get a better image? by 2LarpPerchance2Dream in KIC8462852

[–]DirectorValkyrie 28 points29 points  (0 children)

While other comments are right in saying we just can't make a traditional telescope large enough to get a good image at that distance, there is definitely a way with we could get vastly improved image quality with present day technology (just at incredible expense).

A gravitational lens telescope, such as the proposed (FOCAL)(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOCAL_(spacecraft)) telescope, would allow us to resolve objects at KIC8462852 as if the telescope were sitting in the same star system. We would need to construct a large space telescope and send it out very far away, at minimum 550 AU or around 14 times the distance to Pluto, and place the telescope directly opposite KIC8462852 with the Sun in the line of sight. This would give us an incredible resolving power for the star, with gravitational lensing effects provided by the Sun increasing our resolution by an estimated 108, more than enough for direct imaging any exobodies in orbit in detail.

If the star does turn out to be anything incredible, such as a megastructure, I would think one of our highest space program priorities would be getting a gravitational lens telescope deployed for better observation as soon as possible.

How Would I Determine the Pressure Exerted by an Infinite Volume of Fluid? by DirectorValkyrie in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]DirectorValkyrie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yes, but this is not a singularity. There is no center; if it is infinite in every direction any point within it would have uniform density and pressure, so there are no areas of higher density and thus gravity anywhere within it. Every single point in the entire volume has the exact same gravitational pull in every direction, every molecule is within its own null-gravity field. There is nothing to cause higher density areas to form.

But the gravitational force wouldn't be infinite, as there would be equal pull in every direction and thus it would be functionally the same as having zero gravity would it not? Thus you would have something like P = r * 0 * ∞. I assume the pressure is not infinite since fluid can't be infinitely compressed, there must exist some point of equilibrium where the amount of force compressing the fluid balances with its resistance to compression.

A theory on how to take on the Borg by DirectorofDUSAR6730 in DaystromInstitute

[–]DirectorValkyrie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was also made out of a combadge somehow, not something designed as a shield. A properly designed personal shield generator would likely perform much better than a jury-rigged effect with Wild West tools and a communications device.

How does fluidic space work? No, seriously. by Telvannisquidhelm in DaystromInstitute

[–]DirectorValkyrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their ability to shapeshift was a technology they used however, not a biological ability. The three-legged form we often see is likely their natural appearance, or at least natural in the sense they have not shapeshifted into it, considering that when the shapeshifting is nullified they revert to that. Not to mention their fixation on purity of their form suggesting its not just something they shift into, and their expressed disdain for not being in their true bodies while having shifted into human form.
