Re: Atmospheres
Ultimately, our understanding of science is limited to our experience, and more, to the experience we feel is relevant. So while the science we understand may rule out chlorine breathers, et al, all we can say with certainty, and even then not with 100% certainty, is that they're not possible here. In different regions of the galaxy, different conditions may prevail.
While we're talking about this, doesn't the air we breathe contain more N2 than O2? So why is it an oxygen atmosphere in the game and not a nitrogen one? I guess it's partly because the real nature of atmosphere is much more cmoplex than the one-gas model in the game. I also would like to see more gradation in atmospheres in the future of SE.
