 . (just a guess i am to lazy to calculate that now ^^; )I guess we will receive signals of others as well before they will be able to travel space But maybe we are lucky and just some aliens visit us to harvest their farming ground. (yes ufo enemy unknown is a great game) Stealing tech is easier then thinking about it XD. Luckily our planet gets a F when it comes to colonysation ... no ressources, hostile lifeforms, strong polution and internet trolls ! edit: oh for the gravity discussion. It is most likely to be higher then earth, but not 3,5 times. Since we only know the mass we can't tell for sure. Theoretical the gravity should be arround 1,7 times of the earth, if the planet consists out of the same material as earth that is. the radius plays a role in gravity measurement. And mass and radius are not proportional in a sphere. | ||

And like I said, bigger planet = bigger radius most likely. Perhaps I should've specified SURFACE gravity, but I thought that was implicit. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/g8PBI.jpg) Don't even worry about tidal effects. This is like 8th grade status gravity we're talking about, not general relativity. You're right. No bites. Good night. | ||

Would the Catholic/Islamic (And whatever others) Church adapt or die? In regards to the actual topic, this is awesome news, I love hearing about new planets being discovered. It's just a shame we were born too late to explore earth and born too early to explore the galaxy... Quite simply it would result in the complete collapse of modern religions, as they have all spent thousands of years pushing agendas that this knowledge would debunk. Like many others, I hope discoveries like this push governments to invest heavier into space technologies that could allow us to send something to places like this in a reasonable amount of time. | ||

The universe is a big place (herp derp). | ||
