    If Venus and Mars tried harder at school we could have had 3 Earthlike planets. Imagine how much of an incentive space exploration would have if Venus or Mars had a rich biosphere with millions of alien plant and animal species to study, maybe even intelligent life?

    I've often pondered what it would be like if Venus, Earth and Mars had all developed life and were each still thriving. Unfortunately, if there were lifeforms that developed anything like we did and were equally as intelligent and advanced as we are, we'd surely be at war with at least one of the two planets because that's just what we do. And yes, I'm fully aware of how unrealistic that is but, technically, it's not entirely impossible.
    Of course, when I get to thinking about that kind of stuff, I like to wonder what it would be like if Venus, for example, was still in the condition to support life and had also developed dinosaurs (but not humans) somehow and hadn't experienced an extinction level event, therefore leaving these hypothetical "dinosaurs" to continue to exist there to this day. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty unrealistic as well for so many reasons, but again, not entirely impossible.
    I honestly find these types of things pretty interesting to think about, personally, and even somewhat fun to imagine literally countless scenarios, realistic or not.
    Somewhere out there, though, there may very well be a solar system with multiple planets that each developed life in very different ways and the thought of actually seeing that is exciting, even though I'm fully aware that it's not something that I will actually ever get to experience.

      One interesting thing to note is that in this scenario one of the planets must have developed advanced life first. Most likely millions of years before the others. That means a few things. First of all that civilization must be sustainable and, second off any conflicts they do have internally do not result in their destruction. We also know one other thing, they are ok with another intelligent species existing. Otherwise life on the other planets wouldn't have time to develop a technological civilization before they destroyed it (ie: even half a century ago our civilization would have struggled to survive if martians decided they wanted to rain thousands of nukes on our largest cities, they could have even more easily eradicated our hominid ancestors if they wanted.
      So, given that it seems extremely likely that the far older civilization would have time to study and establish communication with the others before they were even remotely a threat to it. Like, the main issue with not being able to decode a alien message kinda evaporates if they're within your backyard and you can slowly build trust through gifts and gather tons of data and video or the local language being used. Once you figure out the proper greetings, know what gifts they like, and learn something like "can you sign/tell me a story" or "can I check out a book" everything becomes way easier.
      Let's be honest, the fact that the other civilizations had time to arise is proof enough that they'll avoid some catastrophic war which would wipe out the younger species.

    This paints a nightmarish picture of a world whose plate tectonics ground to a halt prematurely. Maybe life continued as normal for a while, but then half a billion or so years later the magma pressure built up to such an intensity under the entire fused surface that it burst through the lid in a single catastrophic release. It's like that firework display where everything went off at once instead of in sequence. All the volcanic activity that would have happened slowly on Earth over billions of years all happened at the same time, leaving a charred, dead, blown-out world with nary a shred of evidence that it had ever been otherwise.

    • @nocount7517
      @nocount7517 11 місяців тому

      Tectonic activity is part of the water cycle, so Venus likely lost enough water to halt plate tectonics. And by that point, any life that might have been there would have disappeared long before such a cataclysm occurred.

      Part of the difference between earth and venus is because of the loss of oceans. I belive we know the water was gone before the resurfacing. Otherwise we would find rocks that form in the presence of water amongst the ones that scatter the lowlands (the highlands predate that resurfacing)

    Is it possible that the key difference between Venus and Earth is that Earth happened to evolve not just photosynthetic life, but also life forms that create calcium carbonate (limestone), and Venus didn't? I'm not talking about the Gaia hypothesis per se, just the idea that Earth got lucky: the life which evolved on it happened to stabilize its temperature as the sun got brighter.
    Relatedly, it would be really cool if you could do a video on the silicate-carbonate cycle sometime. On Earth, there's about 10,000 times as much carbon locked up in limestone and other sedimentary rocks as there is in fossil fuels, and about 100,000 times as much in sedimentary rocks as in the atmosphere. My guess is that no planet around a sun-like star could remain habitable over the long term without a functioning silicate-carbonate cycle, but I'd love to hear your take on it!

      The same Runaway Greenhouse Effect that happened on Venus was never possible on Earth, due to Earth not receiving enough solar radiation for that to be possible (regardless of any other possible factors).
      In the very distant future (2 billion years from now) this fate will become possible (and inevitable) on Earth as the sun slowly brightens.
      Biomineralized shells/skeletons only started half a billion years ago.
      The most prolific producers of calcium carbonate, by far, are Coccolithophores (single celled organisms with coccolith shells)...these only arrived during the Triassic.
      Even Cyanobacteria on Earth didn't exist until 2 billion years after the birth of Venus, by that point Venus probably already had it's Runaway Greenhouse period.
      Venus might have started to become a hellscape as early as 600 million years since it's birth (due to increasing solar luminosity making a Runaway Green House possible on Venus early on...and an unknown time after it became possible, it happened).

      i think there is more to Earth having a moon than most people consider. up to 2/3 of the mass of Thea is believed to have been absorbed by Earth on impact - that means that Earth will have an abnormally large core, providing more heat energy and driving plate tectonics for much longer than the other terrestrial planets. the Moon's gravity also provides gravitic flexing of the Earth's crust that keeps the plates from fusing.

    • @Drahko12
      @Drahko12 Рік тому +37

      That’s a theory being discussed since is mentioned true moon could influence earth’s plate tectonics due to gravity. Without something pulling and pushing maybe that’s what caused the Venusian plates to stop moving.

      Earth Mass 1.00 Earths
      Venus Mass 0.815 Earths
      Rotation
      Spin can be a factor of many things so lets say earth stays 24hours and Venus is about 23.9 / 24.9 hours long
      Now plate tectonics is a major factor on earth and it might be another MAJOR reason life was able to get a foot hold by stopping constant eruptions and slowly moving the volcanos away from the hot spots and having calm period's.
      And Venus has a slight tilt like us 23.9 Degree say Venus is 23.7 or 24.1
      Lets not forget that the planet that help create our moon might of given us our magnetic shield :)
      I play around in sandbox games of the universe and Venus was 71% chance of life compared to earths 99% if it was like this in our universe.
      Plus the planets rotation direction since if the planet rotates wrong way it effects planet differently like Venus due to the way it goes around the sun it slowed down to spin slower then its year.
      If all this besides the spin direction was present I think we would send rovers to Venus and Hell it may still have water of some sort.

    2) Venus is nearly tidally locked to the sun so it's rotation has little to no effect on the movement of it's crust.

    I read one a theory about the resurface event:
    Venus had oceans, but they started to evaporate. As water is a even more potent greenhouse gas, the planet heated even quicker. This basically lead to temperature so high that the crust melted. The water in the atmosphere than reacted with the lave ocean, thus splitting it in hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen reacted with the molten rock, and the hydrogen left into space.

    • @durshurrikun150
      @durshurrikun150 8 місяців тому

      "This basically lead to temperature so high that the crust melted"
      This is nonsense.
      There's not enough energy available for that to happen.
      The melting point of rocks on average is 1200 °C.
      A planet crust could melted to such an extent only when it receives energy: that can only happen either through intense tidal heating ( by being in a very elliptical orbit around a star with a massive planet nearby) or being orbiting so close that the radiation heats the rock to such an extent that they melt.
      And if that happened to Venus as you suggest, most of its atmosphere would have evaporated and lost to space.
      Venus would be severy depleted of volatiles, not just water.
      "The water in the atmosphere than reacted with the lave ocean, thus splitting it in hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen reacted with the molten rock, and the hydrogen left into space"
      Except you need temperatures up to 2000 °C to decompose water.
      Hot rock doesn't react with water, hot rock is not a metal and it can't form oxydes, especially because crustal rocks are mostly made of silicates and other oxydated material.
      In reality, the water was photodissociated and the free oxygen reacted with carbon.

    It is interesting to consider that Venus's fate was met in part because of too little water. If there was more liquid water perhaps it would've been enough to encourage plate tectonics and keep the atmosphere thin. And considering how quickly life appeared on Earth maybe that could've been enough to keep the atmosphere "clean".
    A lot of comments here show their woe that our sister planet lacks life, but it is true. It is unfortunate that Venus was so close to being habitable, but circumstances just didn't come out the way it could've. Maybe the most comforting thought to have is how lucky we are that Earth turned out differently, and we're the unlikely result of twin worlds of life.
    The great tragedys, Mars who was too small to hold onto its water, and Venus who was too far away to get enough.

    It is interesting to consider the idea of living things in the clouds of Venus. Have you considered the possibility that it might reside underground instead? Maybe there are water reservoirs beneath the surface like on Earth, and life has been able to survive the hostile surface through avoiding it entirely. Just a thought.

    I believe that Venus was exactly like Earth; it even had a 'moon'.
    Whatever struck Venus, it was powerful enough to alter its rotation, and send it's moon into another orbit.
    That moon became the planet Mercury. 😐

    • @durshurrikun150
      @durshurrikun150 8 місяців тому

      What you believe is nonsense.
      It's pretty clear that Mercury was accreted from material orbiting the Sun closer than Venus.
      Also, a giant impact wouldn't supply enough energy to an hypothetical moons of Venus to escape Venus' gravity and end up in an orbit around the Sun at such a distance.
      If Venus had a moon and suffered a giant impact that made it retrograde, then the moon would have been tidally decelerated and impacted Venus.

    If our simulations for slow rotators is correct then Venus must have boiled off before slowing down, else it would likely be very habitable right now.
    Also interesting to notice Venus is dramatically enriched in neon and especially nitrogen compared to the Earth, even accounting for the different oxidation state it would have if it had oceans and free oxygen (which would have trapped maybe 1-2 bars of N2 in the crust).
    A denser N2 atmosphere might either have helped warm the planet through band widening or cooled it through Rayleigh scattering (hard to predict) but I doubt it would have been relevant to trigger the runaway greenhouse.
    Anyway, this makes me think the Earth lost a lot of volatiles during the Theia impact.

    It's been postulated that colonies on Venusian mountain peaks (above the cloud level) is possible and would require only breathing apparatus and some minor acid protective gear (due to light acid rain/mist). NASA were/are considering future missions to investigate this option (following the Moon base and Mars missions).

    Isn't our moon gravitational effect on Earth also a significant factor in keeping our tectonic plates from solidifying?

    • @deheavon6670
      @deheavon6670 Рік тому +2

      Tidal heating from the Moon is just around 3 TW, which is small compared to the Earth's internal heat budget at more than 48 TW.
      But since that heat is mostly dissipated in the upper mantle, it could have weakened the lithosphere enough to help/hinder plate tectonics back when or if the Moon was much closer.
