Re: Speculation about jump starting Jupiter

In Response To: Speculation about jump starting Jupiter (Gre'Thor117) : You know, NASA once posted up a documentary on television years back on how : Jupiter is cooling down. Now, the only reason why I remember this : tidbit is because it itrigued me, and I once saw a movie back then about : how a vessel had to "jump start" a gas giant because the normal : sun was failing or something. That movie is probably 2010, the sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey. I thought it was neat, and a lot less "brown acid"-inspired than its noble predecessor. : I doubt this is probable, but if someone : nuked Jupiter and "jump started" the fusion, we would have a : star. Not really. It might spark up, but Jupiter doesn't have the density to stay lit... in 2010 the Monoliths had to jigger seriously with its composition in order to get Jupiter to fire up. : So, Jupiter could have been a star that failed to hit the critical fusion : neccesary to radiate like our sun. True, in the sense that any gas giant can be considered a "failed" star. But that's different than a brown dwarf, for some weird astrophysics reasons that involve lots of equations that I've forgotten. (A brief description is buried in my earlier post... but real astronomers would snigger at trying to use this as a proof.) -- Steve, densely
