Re: A deep thought regarding life out there
[quote]Now keeping in mind that all things throughout the galaxy are made up of the same elements, what would happen if you lit a match on a Methane world? BOOOOOM
How about on a Hydrogen world? Big BOOOOOM
ummm, that is incorrect. If you can even get a match to ignite on a methane or hydrogen world, then you are a god. the reason being is that fire is nothing more than a chemical reaction in which a substance is oxidized (albeit somewhat energetically).
Therefore if you light a match on a methane world, nothing happens; there isn't any oxygen for the methane to react with. Same thing on a hydrogen world.
sorry to burst your bubble
