can we live on venus ?

 what if we terraformed venus ?

venus : we have heard about terraforming the moon and mars we attempt to colonize space but what about venus . if we did manage to terraform our neighbour one day it could look like this .....


could we live here one day ?

how different would it be from earth belive it or not earth and venus are very similar at time venus is even reffered to as earths sister planet they are both roughly the same diameter have the same mass same gravity and are both made out of the same material a central iron core and rocky mantle unfortunately the comparison end there unlike earth venus is extremely hot has an incredibly dense atmosphere and toxic fumes one its surface.


what would need to do to make venus habitable ?

scientists and astronomers have been theorizing how to terraform venus for over half a century the two biggest issues that need to be solved are the atmosphere and temperature on venus currently the surface of venus is a sweltering 462 degree celcius hot enough to melt lead and the atmosphere made up mostly of carbon dioxide is 93 times as heavy as earths one proposed way of altering venus atmosphere is to bombs when reacting with the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would creat graphite and water this would fall the planets surface and cover 80 percent of it with oceans mind you they would not be nearly as deep as earths oceans venus would only have 10 percent the amount of water that earth has this would take a lot of hydrogen the only way we could get enough is if  we were to harvest the resource from jupiter or saturn this approch would also reqire iron aerosol a material that can be mibed from asteroids if all went according to plan the dense carbon dioxide atmosphere would be reduced to being just three times as heavy as earth's this would also help to clear the clouds of sulfuric acid that hang over the planet. Now the atmosphere is clear but what about the temperature, one way to cool the surface is with solar shades a series of small space ships or one large lens that would divert the rays of the sun the solar shades could be placed on the surface of the planet or in the atmosphere slowly working to cool down the planet and reduce radiations another issue that would need to be resolved before we started living on venus . In addition to Solar shades NASA thinks we could built floating cities above the clouds of Venus.

These would work as a safe living space as we learn and attempt to terraform the environment to cool the planet even more and speed up the process cooling pipes could be put on the surface of the planet. These pipes would taken heart from the surface and bring it up to colder parts of the atmosphere . Now we have a suitable atmosphere a proper temperature and clean air but there is one other huge issue that humans might have if they moved to Venu. They've extremely long days and nights . Since venus rotates once every 243 earth days . Meaning a day on Venus is 5800 hours long . Not to mention it's the only planet in our solar system to rotate clockwise meaning that it's extremely slow sunrise would happen in the west and sunset would be in the east we could create the illusion of a 24 hour day cycle by using a massive mirrors and having them rotate to reflect the sun if all this managed to work correctly , Venus would feel just like home , with maybe a touch less gravity after all this , Venus would finally be habitable . Sure the planet world rotate differently , and you'd a different view of the sun , but it could be another place for humans to live . Scientists theorize it could be a "backup" planet one day . Venus suffers incredibly strong green house effects , the cause of its extreme temperatures and dense atmosphere by learning more about cooling this planet , it may unlock the secrets to cooling our own , and maybe make our home last even longer.

what if we don't have a brain

  The brain is the most complex and important organ in the human body. The brain is made of soft nervous tissues which control all body functions. It is the center of the nervous system in all invertebrates and vertebrates. It is located in the head and functions as the coordinating center of intellectual, sensation and the nervous system. So can we live without a brain? Well, let’s see if it’s possible or not. The brain is divided into two parts: the cerebrum and the cerebellum. The cerebrum controls important functions like our learning ability, emotion, etc. while on the other hand, the cerebellum controls activities such as balance and our muscle movements, etc. But the brain also determines our personality. There are several cases that show that a brain trauma can change someone’s personality. But back to our main question which is “Can we live without a brain?” To understand this, let us look at a case. In 2014, a 24 years old Chinese woman complained in a hospital about her ...

Kardashev scale

  The   Kardashev scale   is a method of measuring a  civilization ' s level of technological  advancement based on the amount of energy  it is able to use. The measure was proposed by   Soviet    astronomer   Nikolai    Kardashev    in 1964. The scale is hypothetical , and regards energy consumption on a cosmic  scale. Various extensions of the scale have since been proposed, including a wider range of power levels (types 0, IV through VI) and the use of metrics other than pure power. Categories  The Kardashev scale has three designated categories, these are: A  Type I civilization , also called a planetary civilization , can use and store all of the energy available on its planet.  A  Type II civilization , also called a stellar    civilization , can use and control energy at the scale of its planetary system. A  Type III ...

Andromeda Galaxy

  The   Andromeda Galaxy   , also known as   Messier 31 ,   M31 , or   NGC 224   and originally the   Andromeda Nebula   (see below), is a  Barred spiral galaxy    approximately 2.5 million  light-years   (770  Kiloparsecs ) from Earth and the nearest large galaxy to the  Milky way .   The galaxy's name stems from the area of Earth's sky in which it appears, the Constellation of Andromeda    , which itself is named after the  Ethiopian (or Phoenicia)   who was the wife of  Perseus in Greek mythology  .  The virial masses of the Andromeda Galaxy is of the same order of magnitude as that of the Milky Way, at 1 trillion solar masses (2.0 × 10 42  kilograms). The mass of either galaxy is difficult to estimate with any accuracy, but it was long thought that the Andromeda Galaxy is more massive than the Milky Way by a margin of some 25% to 50%. This has been called...
