[@Wustenfuchs109]

@@peterclarke7240 To be fair, you don't have to be furry in a denser atmosphere. Fur is there to protect you from the (extreme) cold. Fur as nothing to do with the density of the atmosphere, it is an insulator. Now, that being said, a denser atmosphere means that things cool and warm up faster in them, depending on their temperature, but it is again tied to temperature, not the density itself. For instance, water is denser than air - in 10 degrees Celsius air on Earth you'd be mostly fine even naked, while in 10 degrees Celsius water, you'd get cold very fast. It is denser, meaning more molecules touch you and take away your heat. So in that sense, in a very cold atmosphere that is also dense, every level of insulation is a plus. In this case fur. On the other hand, in a dense but hot atmosphere, you wouldn't really like fur, just like you would not like a blanket when going to the beach in the middle of summer.

[@austing5951]

@@Wustenfuchs109 Wouldn't the purpose of the fur be to protect from wild swings of internal temperature. A cool breeze will freeze you quicker. A hot dessert gust will rise your core temperature quicker. So you'd need the fur to essentially slow that effect. However, Titan is cold, so what Brian Cox said is still correct by what you said.

Interestingly enough, Mars may have it's own rings 'soon' (in ~40 M years) as Phobos gets so close that it exceeds the Roche limit (meaning the gravity of the parent body will overcome the local gravity of the orbiting body, and likely will tear it apart). Now Phobos is not dense enough to be made of rock and some scientists think there may be significant ice deposits under the surface. So if everything goes perfectly, tiny shepherd moons could form and keep the ice rings around Mars just a tiny bit longer. Of course, there could've been recent discoveries about Phobos that I missed and completely dismiss this idea, but the idea that some moon broke up and made the rings of Saturn isn't immediately dismissable out of hand.

The fact that the rings are made of ice is not incompatible with the theory that they're a disrupted moon -- since Saturn's moons are in fact mostly made of ice and not rock. (Phoebe may be an exception to this.) Enceladus, for instance, has a density almost exactly that of water ice, it's surface spectra shows that it is covered in water ice, and the material that comes out of its geysers is definitely water.

[@CameoAfro]

The show is known for shock comedy and off-color humor, so Alan was joking that what Stephen described would fit right in on the show.

[@hippyfriend]

But also I suspect this is a reference to the fact that female comedians tend to report having a bad time on there (particularly when this episode came out).

Interesting. I've only seen mock the week as clips, and generally enjoy it, but didn't go with watching the show for some reason.
