The Planet X fleet was there too, but they're the stealth fleet so they were radio silent.

That’s the kinda firepower that could take on the Infinite Empire and the Star Forge fleets from Starwars. Damn. Kinda sexy yo, a bit sorrowful at the loss of so many celestial bodies but still a fine work nonetheless. Especially if it’s in the name of preserving life.

[@stevedixon921]

Overkill, for when the enemy just refuses to understand that surrender is the only course of action they have left. Burn the living to death, burn the corpses to ash, then burn the ashes. Finally, burn the fire.

I’m just saying that those ships were probably not just the planets. The star (a yellow dwarf) could’ve been added to the fleets, that would explain the readings of a star that his ship got.

[@matejlieskovsky9625]

Jupiter is (AFAIK) big enough to sustain some level of nuclear fusion in its core - if it were much bigger, we'd have a binary star system

[@matejlieskovsky9625]

@Kenric Young you are right and I was wrong. I was told long ago that Jupiter is still emitting more energy than it receives, but somehow missed the fact that it is due to Kelvin-Helmholtz and not fusion. I am sorry for spreading misinformation :-(

[@matejlieskovsky9625]

@Kenric Young you sure about that rate? At 3cm/yr it would have to be roughly double its current radius 5 billion years ago even without the rate being higher in the past.

its probably based off the idea that to measure the exact state of each neuron would apply enough energy to vaporize it, thus suicide when the brain scan copies your brain data atom by atom.
