austenandrews Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Re: "Neat" Pictures Re: Gigan picture Off-topic, but does anyone know the name of the Godzilla villain with a drill on his head, or somesuch? My first-grade son played him in a computer game once. The character drills underground and pops up under his opponent. We tried to find a movie with the character. We got Godzilla v.s. Gigan, who apparently looks similar; but no drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austenandrews Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Re: "Neat" Pictures Could be. I'll look for Godzilla v.s. Megalon at the video store. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if so, would you happen to know the generator?[/quote'] Sorry, don't know. It could be a fractal, I suppose, though at first blush I don't think so. Fractals aren't a specialty of mine, and while I do like them, I've only ever fooled around with some of the more common ones. So if it is, I have no idea about the generator. Sorry.

Cancer Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Re: "Neat" Pictures Hyperion, enhanced color, from the Cassini mission. As always, click on the image in the page that comes up to get a larger wallpaper-worthy (and in this case, rotated) version. That's one strange-looking hunk of ice. Now, if the Space Maggots were to emerge from that, one planet-devouring maggot per crater (Hyperion is about 250 km across), and take flight looking for their next meal ... there's an adventure for your superheroes.

Dr. Anomaly Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Re: "Neat" Pictures Wow! Funky stuff there! Planet-devouring maggots, you say...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Re: "Neat" Pictures Sure. They'd be, oh, maybe 100 meters in diameter and maybe a kilometer long in larval form. That's be about right for the craters you see there. Just think, when they infested Hyperion a million years back, it was the size of Titan (diameter about 20 times the long axis of Hyperion now). Wait'll we see the surface writhe, and then they'll emerge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the maggots have waste products, then some mass would come back out the other end, right? So the moon wouldn't have shrunk that much?

It compacted into superdense materials in the maggots' innards, to be later expelled as a means of propulsion to their next meal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Of course, I'll refrain from noting that the mass, though very compacted, could still be detected by the moon's influence on other bodies. And since the moon doesn't compute to be that massive, the mass must actually be gone. But since this is comic-book 'science', that can be ignored. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
