Any non-zero mass has a gravitational pull.

No life form even remotely like anything we know of would ever get large enough to retain a meaningful atmosphere. Estimates for the total amount of living mater on Earth seems to run from 2 to 200 billion metric tons. Mars on the other hand may be a bit too light to keep an atmosphere around for long, has a mass of 642 billion billion metric tons.

A reactor is a vessel or other such thing in which reactions take place. Every single cell in your body is a biological reactor. You still need a steady supply of food, water and oxygen to sustain you.

If his starts in the states then 'we' would be Russia, China or some other foreign power, and it sparks Armageddon anyways because the Yanks didn't have the leadership to destroy the thing themselves, or to admit to it's existence in the first place. Got tot save face, even if it means blowing it off. Centuries later the thing is long destroyed, along with most of the world, but some particles escaped. Mutated animals are blamed on radiation, the truth is far worse, although nobody's any the wiser, and everybody's better off for it.

Just need to grow a transparent membrane, to keep the atmosphere, and let sunlight in for photosynthesis.

Specialized cells do their job... Tis what your skin does, basically, keeps the bad stuff out, lets the good stuff in through that special tunnel running down your middle. Hell, even some ants have units so specialized that they can extract oxygen from water, and keep the hive breathing during heavy rains.

Granted, in Remnia's case, it's quite a bit larger than Earth or Mars, with stronger gravity, and maybe constantly putting out so many strange gasses, that it wouldn't much matter even if they could escape.

Would have the problem of fusion of one sort or another happening towards the center, but hey, that's just another burning compost source of energy, really.

Remnia's also from another dimension though, so physics shmysics.

Although, tbh, with that comic, the existence of a giant biological planet is the least broken bit of physics in the whole story.

The story is a parody of romantic melodrama, centering on Ermengarde Stubbs and her relationships with villainous mortgage-holder 'Squire Hardman, would-be rescuer Jack Manly and fiance Algernon Reginald Jones. Daniel Harms calls it "a take-off on the Horatio Alger 'rags-to-riches' genre".[2] An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia suggests that a more precise target for Lovecraft's satire was writer Fred Jackson, whose novels often "have exactly the sort of implausibility of plot and sentimentality of action that is parodied in 'Sweet Ermengarde'."

Sort of.

Living tissue as we know it can't take the the kind of pressure that exists at the mantle or core of planets.

So uh, this meat planet...

What does it eat? This is a clearly unbalanced ecosystem. It can't be photosynthesizing, because then 1) it'd be the Plant Planet, and 2) there just isn't enough energy in sunlight to power a whole layer of animal matter, because animals have by definition a much higher-energy metabolism than plants.

And it can't be eating itself for thermodynamic reasons.

>>36497099
Other planets, probably.
Somebody work out how many calories are in all of Earth's biomass, including bacteria.

>>36495265
Hey I just met you.
And this is crazy.
My spores are in you.
So organs maybe?

>>36497099
Remember, its not really doing much but quivering, i assume somewhere in the meat sea (all sweat?) there are some Meatalgae that photosynthesize, get eaten by bigger meatfish, then the meatfish die and get absorbed into the meatplanet, creating new energy, that or it eats comets n shit.

>>36497180
Too many. The planet will have to exercize for AEONS to get all that fat off its equator.

>>36497218
It'd still have to mostly not be photosynthesizing, or else it wouldn't be pink and meaty, it'd be green.

Or at the very least brown; I think you can photosynthesize with melanin.

And there's still the fact that animals have to be only a small proportion of a photosynthetic biosphere, due to energy reasons.

>>36496481
>>36496823

All of the above, its just a setting after all.

>>36497250
If it is photosynthesizing, it would have to have been originally next to an O-A class star, in order for it to be worth not absorbing infrared rays.

>>36485640
Hell yes, I've finally found The Dogscape.

>>36497180
An extremely rough estimate:
Including bacteria, Earth has probably something like a trillion tonnes of dry biomass.
Dry biomass (at least plant matter) is something like 5 kcal/gram.

So that's around 5 quintillion kilocalories (or "food Calories")

If we also throw in the fossil fuel reserves as dessert, that comes to three times as much - nearly 15 quintillion kcal.

>>36497250
Melanin brown's a nice fleshy color. I'm OK with the Meat Planet getting a suntan.

>>36497346
During the night (on the dark side of the meatscape i guess?) all the new skin flakes off and flies out into the Dead-Skin ring, ensuring that there is always one side bright pink, and the other dark brown, also skin rings.

>>36497374
What causes the skin to fly off

>>36485640
>the planet is alive
Wouldn't stop me
>and... quivering
Nope. Time to move on.

>>36497405

The quivering. And erosion.

Send the probes first, why bother 'invading'?

>>36497324
Further rough estimate:

The blue whale has, I think, the lowest basal metabolic rate of any animal, and I think there might be some theoretical reason bigger stops being better in terms of metabolic power/mass of flesh.

So assuming the meatscape keeps the blue whale's hastily-googled ratio of about 3000 kcal/day/tonne, and assuming it's about a meter deep over the entire (Earth-sized planet), and 1000 kg/m3 (about as dense as water, as meat normally is),

then that comes out to around 1.6 quintilion Cal (or kcal) per day.

That's equivalent to licking the whole Earth clean once every few days.

Since the galaxy probably has around 300 billion planets in it on average, if 1% of those are inhabited as richly as Earth, then the Meat Planet will lick the Galaxy clean in just 3 million years.

Although if it can metabolize methane and ammonia too, and thereby start slurping up gas giants, it could last a good deal longer.

Also, we could maybe assume the meat goes dormant and hibernates most of the time.

I order this..thing destroyed by the handy dandy planetkiller I've kept in my fleet.

Any pieces left of the abomination will be towed by tractor beams and disposed of into the local star.

The op will then be called out for the faggot he is.

>>36497374
So what you're telling me is that the planet has tan lines.

>>36497497
>Will devour the galaxy in a few million years

Jesus Christ, how horrifying.

I think we're also assuming it moves faster-than-light and is capable of propelling itself without rockets via Psychic Powers Or Something, but my autism is OK with that for some reason.

>>36497589
it moves by expelling gasses...

In order to usefully alter the momentum of a planetary body you'd need to shed a considerable portion of that body's mass as reaction fuel, and do it damn fast, otherwise gravity will draw the spent fuel back towards you and sap thrust.

>>36497887
The problem with that as a villain is that "Shoot It With Missiles Until It Explodes While It's Really Far Away And Can't Do Anything" is a viable solution.

>>36497921
It's a PLANET. One that can psychically or magically or whatever move other planets around through control over gravity or whatever.

Planets are already hard enough to destroy. You think you're going to start blowing up one that's smart enough to start swatting or possibly eating asteroids?

No, your only option will be to start seeking out an ancient superweapon, or possibly a gravitationally stable artificial rosette hive-mind of living planets grazing off of the energy of a Dyson sphere.

Anything above "shuttle" in the federation is able to ignite a planet's atmosphere. In one episode a klingon cruiser vaporized the top 10km of a planet as a parting shot to make sure the federation couldn't get a DNA sample of anything that had ever lived on that planet.

Yeah, they don't show it as much in TNG (specifically to make the Feddies more peaceful) but in TOS vaping the entire surface of a planet in a few max-power phaser shots or torpedo spreads was a semi-common tactic.

And in TNG there's even assorted not-technically-a-weapon tech (soliton wave generators, subspace field tractor beams, etc) that can easily destroy planets just by accident.

This is one of the reasons why Starfleet acts as a giant galactic daycare for hyper-overachievers. Put the cutting edge scientists in a military hierarchy so they're more likely to listen when someone tells them no, and kick the SCIENCE! out into deep space, where it's less likely to accidentally an entire species / planet / quadrant when it inevitably fails for dramatic tension. You'll note that a significant number of storylines are about Starfleet having to come in and fix it when some independent party is stupid enough to do SCIENCE! on or around an astronomical body.

I don't think I ever remember TOS glassing a planet at all. Like, at most they would aim the phasers at a single building they wanted up-fucked.

Do they vaporize a planet's surface in the movies or something?

>>36498447

There's multiple times where Kirk has destroyed planets

1.) Used an anti-matter bomb, turned into a Dead World
2.) Used phasers, burned away an atmosphere
3.) enabled a star ship crash into a planet, same as 1.)

The Genesis Device in the movies was considered a failed experiment because it didn't work properly for terraforming... but it still worked by literally blowing up the entire planet and then rebuilding it from subatomic particles. This was why Klingon Doc Brown in Search for Spock went literally crazy trying to get his hands on the secret of the device.

And there's red matter from the new movies, which in even small amounts can create a black hole and easily destroy planets.

Oh man, i love Gigerverse.

>>36499136
Well, for certain limited definitions of "destroy."

And there's also the fact that getting sizable things to 0.9c is really extremely difficult, and I'm not sure any of the (playable) races in my setting could manage the task of constructing and launching an RKKV fleet up to the job.

>>36499674
I tried calculating the difficulty of getting a 1-ton projectile up to 0.9 c with the relativistic delta-v equation here
>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_rocket
And the answer I got is pretty ridiculous.

Even assuming an absolutely incredible exhaust velocity of 1,000,000 m/s for the fusion rockets my setting has, then the relativistic delta-v equation looks like

0.09 c = c * tanh((1,000,000 m/s / c) * ln(m0/(1 tonne)))

~300 * arctanh(0.09) = ln(m0/(1 tonne))

m0 = e^(300 arctan 0.09) tonnes

m0 = 6.5 *10^191 tonnes

In other words, since m0 is the "wet mass" - i.e. the mass of the payload plus the fuel, this suggests that my setting's awesome fusion rockets would still require nearly a googol squared tonnes of fuel to get a single tonne of RKV payload up to 0.9 c.

Needless to say, this seems like it would be slightly ridiculous for my setting to attempt to construct.

And if it did manage to impact, the 1 tonne RKKV impacting at 0.9 c would release 10^20 joules - a sizable number, to be sure, but 1000 times less than the impact that created Chixculub crater on Earth.

Now, Chixculub crater is quite large, and the impact did kill the dinosaurs, but Earth remains resolutely undestroyed.

GASHUNK

>>36499813
The trick is to exist in a universe where FTL travel exists, and can set your exit momentum to any fraction of c. Few space-going species exist in these universes of course, becuase they've all been blown up by RKKVs created by their first FTL experiments.

>>36498447
>If your setting makes it easy to blow up planets,
We're in a setting that's easy to destroy planets, you just launch something at a decent fraction of c,
It's not really that hard to do. We could build something that could do that now, provided we had the infrastructure in orbit, we've just never had a reason to build that. True, at our current tech level aiming it at a moving target would be hard but if you have the tech to build an interstellar ship, you have the tech to build a planet obliterating missile

>>36495416
....damn it anon, that makes too much sense. To be fair though, the Coralian didn't destroy the world, it just grew over it as a shell. Underneath its crust was a perfectly preserved earth.

There is a Henderson in every setting. It's the one true law.

I once played Venerable Brother Henderson in Deathwatch game. He was old as balls and claimed to be a retired Thunder Warrior amongst other often contradictory bullshit.

>>36502594
There's also Ego the Living Planet, Sagan's Meat Planet, and all sorts of other bullshit out there.

Hell, Pandora from Avatar is pretty just a giant brain covered in acacia ants.

>dorfs vs cosmic horror
>dorfs get their shit pushed in and then blame elves for not helping them
FTFY

If dwarves can't even handle fucking goblins, why the fuck do you think they would be able to cope with the very planet desiring their death?

Let's get something straight, buddy, "weeaboo" does not mean "anything Japanese", a weeaboo is one of those people who nerdgasms at the mention of Japanese "culture"(or rather the stilted view they get through exposure to anime, manga, and the like) without actually understanding any of it. They're the neckbeards who use Japanese words like "baka" in everyday conversation because they think it sounds cool. A weeaboo is not just someone who happens to like anime or manga.

You're not even trying.

You could pass it as the planet has a structure made of wundermaterialum which is a series of shells connected by columns.

Those are dead and absrorb all the preassure. ()which means you can0t have water bodies inside otherwise the pressure will go out of control.

The rest of the planet lifes in between those layers.

>>36500602
You are incorrect. Getting things to a decent fraction of C is really hard, and planets are not as easy to destroy as you think.

>>36513584
>which means you can0t have water bodies inside otherwise the pressure will go out of control.
I would assume that the space would be filled with the accumulated corpses of a million years worth of marine life, rotted down to fine silt, spread even by currents, and packed down by pressure. At some depth the pressure is going to crush it all down to something resembling rock anyway.

That planet would be the hydrocarbon motherload.

>>36513749
That's not so much a living planet as it is a massive space station that's been eaten by space cancer.

>>36500602
>We could build something that could do that now
No, actually we couldn't. We currently do not have any functional method of propulsion that could reach relativistic speeds. Chemical rockets (as well as plasma jets, ion thrusters, Orion drives, and other reaction mass systems) top out at the rate of gas expansion, there's no material strong enough to hold a railgun that powerful together, a solar sail large enough to accelerate a craft to relativistic speeds before leaving the heliopause would be torn to shreads in the process and would need surface area riveling the Earth's. Current technology can't even hit .1c without massive leaps in material science.

how is this bad?
does it hurt? what are the negatives beside the "woooo, so spooky"?
just because my house it a flesh mound now doesn't mean I can't get cable right?

>>36500602
>We could build something that could do that now

No, we really couldn't. We don't have rockets with specific impulse even close to good enough - even Orion's not going to get you close to C without insane amounts of fuel. And we simply don't have the technology for fusion or antimatter propulsion.

Beamed propulsion could get us close-ish to c, but it's hard to steer and requires incredible amounts of energy and infrastructure - we'd need to be well within Kardashev 1 and would have to build a laser the size of an asteroid. (Particle propulsion has massive but less ludicrous energy requirements, but has focus issues and unsolved technical problems.) And that's still very difficult to steer and not going to get you even close to planet-destroying energies.

>>36513846
And again, launching a "weaponized anything" at 0.9 C won't destroy the planet, because we've been hit by comparable (in terms of energy) impacts before and our planet has not been destroyed yet.

Planets are really big.

I'm assuming by "destroy planet" you mean "kill everything on at least half of the planet's surface", because it gets even sillier if you mean "blow up the planet" or something like that.)

>>36515132
ok, ok. how about this: we use a negatively charged strangelet to "kill" the planet by converting its whole mass into strange matter.

>>36513694
That or the planet actually is incredibly light, and uses the shell method not only to grow larger, but to retain atmosphere. Each new layer holds in the air for the second last.

As it grows, the old layers break their tower supports and orbit the core. They are, after all, perfect suspension bridges.

>>36514619
This.

This is the reason its scary, guys.
