I wonder if fission stars are possible.

[@hosmerhomeboy]

I'd bet they are, since enough fissionable material crammed tightly enough will lead to a chain reaction. No idea how long one could last though, I think to get one to exist for more than mere instants it would have to have the right composition and density of fissionable elements. Seems to me it would need to be far more unenriched uranium and thorium than say u238 or plutonium. something with a lower nuclear output or cross section would have to be used for the bulk of the matter to gain gravity and density. Perhaps it would even need to be doped with things that are lighter but will accept new particles to become larger, unstable particles to absorb some radiation. Seems that they would never form naturally, but I bet a k3 civ could make one for kicks.

[@bigchungus6827]

@@hosmerhomeboy You generally don't want a chain reaction in a star, though. Stars are stable if they have a constant fusion speed that's in equilibrium with it's gravity (I believe isaac mentioned this). If you have a runaway chain reaction the imbalance is gonna tear the star apart pretty darn quick.

[@treasurehunter3744]

If you think about it, earth has one in its core. It has enough radioactive material to keep it pretty hot in the core. Now, we'd need a lot more to make earth glow, but either by decay, or by a nuclear chain reaction, it is possible. For the fission chain reaction, it would be controlled by the density, which would be controlled by the temperature. It should stabilize, as long as you had plenty of breeding fuel. Of course, I haven't experimented with that.

An idea to build up moons, planets, or a gas giant to a stars. Would be to send a telescopic RTG (squid) craft. Several hundred craft are sent out to attach to asteroids with spooled out metal bands. Dozens of Rovers attached to metal bands are sent out in all directions to collect regolith and return to craft body to launch the regolith out of it's telescopic body to launch to another celestial body(s) to add to it's mass. Depending, regolith could be selected, depending on it's composition. So somewhat only the material needed at another location are sent. Once enough of the asteroid is expended, the craft could relocate to another asteroid, to repeat the process again.

I am a simple man.....I like SFIA videos before I've watched them.

Love the early release, I can at least listen to it while at work, thanks

[@levigriffin5553]

Stellar episode, Isaac!

Amazing content as always, it's fascinating how many different and interesting topics are covered on this channel and i love how in depth they go. I find it's much more engaging to listen to the videos at 1.5x speed, just putting it out there in case someone else might enjoy watching it this way as well. But i do understand that in normal speed it's just like a slow chill podcast, anyways great work and all the best!

As usual, great food for thought.

[@palfers1]

Very thought-provoking. Kudos.

If you have the deuterium in masses, why wouldn't you use it for small scale fusion, getting a more efficient energy source?

I’m loving the graphics!

Excited by the Panspermia episode.

I would call it a Dyception Swarm

So many sun-puns, and even a whole section on Black Hole Suns, and yet not a single Soundgarden remark.

Arthur, I really dig this episode, but the scene where you talk about a geocentric sun-moon really tickled me, especially with the flat Earth visuals. You have the uncanny ability to make normally preposterous ideas into something much more plausible, just one reason I've seen every episode you've made. Thank you for the great work you do!
