As a massive Dr Who fan, this I can appreciate! Will watch for sure thank you!

The premise is quite unique for Travelers, a relatively new take on an old trope.

Way to miss the point, I don't need a book/teacher is essentially a blnd faith; or did you spontaneously learn everything?

Again, you are trying to obfuscate the issue, you are being deceptive, the book you are discussing is not just any book, you are trying to say you are talking about books in general while you continue to quote a specific book of mythology. I do not require mythology, from a book or otherwise to learn.

I talked about belief in general and the varying degrees of belief, specifically our need for some sort of bible to bolster our ideology; blind faith is a different conversation.

In poker, the nuts represent a winning hand, it doesn't matter what you believe... 😉

I don't need a book to bolster my ideology much less a book of nonsense. If your ideology is based on faith then you have no vision. Be that as it may you cannot know my mind, so you cannot know that I have faith in anything much less a book. You lost a suckers bet.

Yes, it literally does mean that, in this 'rapist bible' context and the in the context of my post.

What exactly is your point? Please elaborate.

 

The way I view that passage is that he's (someone) simply pointing out that we're all human beings and as such we're all capable of human behaviours, good and bad; "there but for the grace of god go I"

 

My point is that you used "The Bible" in your quote but insinuated that you were just talking about books in general instead of the specific book of bs called "The Bible" I do not believe "The Bible" so you lose the bet. It was a fools bet but instead of admitting you can't know my thoughts you used your usual tactic of doubling down to bring kaos into the conversation.

OK, so you don't believe in any book or teaching? 

Bible, in this context, doesn't mean just any book and you know this, so stop trying to be deceptive.

We 'all' have a bible that we believe, for many different reason's (including rapists), some are just better at interrogating what was meant when it was written and rapists just want to believe.

This is from your source:

"Jupiter’s equatorial field, at 4.3 gauss, is more than 20 times stronger than Saturn’s. If one represents Saturn’s magnetic field as produced by a simple current loop with a specified magnetic moment, then that magnetic moment is about 600 times Earth’s, whereas Jupiter’s magnetic moment is 20,000 times Earth’s."

Can anyone explain what a "magnetic moment" is?

There is an inconsistency.  Your article says Jupiter's field is more than 20 times stronger than Saturn's, but it also says that Saturn's is 600 times Earth's, whereas Jupiter's is 20,000 times Earth's.  20,000/600 = 33 times stronger at Jupiter than at Saturn.  So I suppose 33 is more than 20 times?  What is more accurate?

 

You got me on that, I simply googled the strengths of Jupiter vs Saturn magnetic fields.

Every planet and moon in our solar system is strange in its' own unique way.  Every world, even every asteroid, is VERY different from all the others.  Titan is a freak, like all the others.  What about Jupiter's powerful magnetic field is 34 times as strong as Saturn's?

"Jupiter's magnetic field is...about 20,000 times stronger than Earth's."

"Saturn's...is...about 580 times stronger than Earth's...."

-ChatGPT

Now that is a significant difference! If it were accurate,

At Saturn’s one-bar “surface” level, the maximum polar field is 0.8 gauss (north) and 0.7 gauss (south), very similar to Earth’s polar surface field, while the equatorial field is 0.2 gauss, compared with 0.3 gauss at Earth’s surface. Jupiter’s equatorial field, at 4.3 gauss, is more than 20 times stronger than Saturn’s.

I asked your question of ChatGPT and here is what it said:

"Planetary history, including factors like past impacts, volcanic activity, and geological processes, can affect a moon's ability to maintain an atmosphere. Titan has a complex geological history, including processes like cryovolcanism, which can release gases and contribute to atmospheric density. Jupiter's moons have different geological histories and processes that have led to their current atmospheric compositions and densities.  While Titan's dense atmosphere is influenced by factors like its distance from the Sun, composition, and geological processes, Jupiter's moons have different characteristics that result in thinner atmospheres. Each moon's unique combination of factors determines its atmospheric properties."

While accurate its not very satisfying, I still have questions but I suspect that answering my questions would take a book like manuscript at least. I struggle with figuring out what is fundamentally different about the Saturn Titan system and the Jupiter Galilean moons system. Gravity is similar on all five moons, composition is similar, temps are similar, cryovolcanism is similar. I wonder if there is a book about this concept or even papers going into detail about this, it would be a very interesting read.  I do have my own speculations about this but they are just speculations. 

There is a fine line between a numerator and a denominator. Only a fraction of people understand this.
