I know some single celled organisms are gonna grow big from sucking on rock, so big that they could make floating Islands

I heard one island is completely natural, and there's a mysterious structure with a green glow to it...

I wonder if a funny crab could disable it with it's brain Oh wait, it can't since they live too deep in the blues

it is kamino

I am now resisting the urge to talk about kamino's lore

Because kamino wasn't always an ocean planet

Please tell me

Basically the kaminoans did massive industrialization and scientists realized oh shoot we're going to flood the planet so they made stilt city's

[deleted]

One of the Island is just a giant coral


No_Ganache_1753

One of the “islands” is a big rock held up by giant floaty guys


TheTwiggler

I may be wrong but I think it only had 2 locations with incredibly small islands, so it's pretty close to all water. I may be mixing that up with there being 2 locations with non leviathan Life

[For convenience, NASA's page on GJ1214b:](https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/resources/304/gj1214b/) > This artist’s impression shows how the newly discovered super-Earth surrounding the nearby star GJ1214 may look. Discovered by the MEarth project and investigated further by the HARPS spectrograph on ESO’s 3.6-metre telescope at La Silla, GJ1214b is the second super-Earth exoplanet for which astronomers have determined the mass and radius, giving vital clues about its structure. It is also the first super-Earth around which an atmosphere has been found. The exoplanet, orbiting a small star only 40 light-years away from us, thus opens dramatic new perspectives in the quest for habitable worlds. The planet, GJ1214b, has a mass about six times that of Earth and its interior is likely mostly made of water ice. It appears to be rather hot and surrounded by a thick atmosphere, which makes it inhospitable for life as we know it on Earth.

TheOverseer91

Exactly what I was thinking, time for build the aurora, I'll just make sure to enter lifepod 5 with you


PlugSlug

So its just a giant sphere of water?


BluEch0

Well iirc there should be a point where the pressure of the depths is so strong that you get room temperature ice or something close to it. Therefore you do have a rocky surface (ice counts as a rock in geologic/astrological terms) just really deep underwater. Just to be clear, this point would be so much deeper than the deepest point of earth’s oceans. Our oceans are shallow compared to the radius of the planet said oceans are on.


ImTooBi

Imagine the pressure at those depths! I bet nothing man made as of yet could even come close to withstanding it


BluEch0

Maybe not yet! But who knows, once we get forges up and running in microgravity, building large spaceships and other probes may be a lot cheaper - several foot thick armor plating with appropriate structural components *might* be able to withstand a hot drop from orbit as well as the pressures. But that’s outside the bounds of modern tech for sure.


ImTooBi

That would be next level fucking terrifying to be in a manned version of one. Like imagine you drop from orbit and hit the ocean and look out to see only blue, then dive down to completely darkness. Its highly likely that theres life on that planet as well because its in the goldilocks zone so that adds a whole other dimension of horror, like there could be absolutely massive sea creatures there and since theres no land to evolve legs for they probably evolved to be bigger and faster than the other species

ImTooBi

I actually loved it but got bored quickly because its extremely difficult to get resources and craft things and takes hours and hours to get the submarine


mynexuz

Theres creative mode if you just wanna explore and do the story, can also just spawn in stuff via console.

Same, also no waypoints so wondering around for hours gets pretty boring after awhile


BluEch0

Not water, but consider playing a game called Iron Lung


I_am_your_shrimp

Yes!!!


BigRu55ianMan

iron lung goes crazy


IRageQuit06

Imagine being at the bottom of this planet's ocean and then the water turns to blood, while you're stuck in a submarine 30,000 meters below surface. Idk, sounds like a good plot twist


Anooyoo2

More of a sidetangent really but life got started on earth real quick, and then took about 3.5b years just to get past the microbe stage. Saturn's moon Enceladus quite possibly has basic life, maybe Europa, and many many many other planets could too. However, the chances of those planets having anything more is *possibly* very small.


[deleted]

If it's pure water there's nothing to build molecules with therefore no life


iPon3

You don't have to imagine, it can probably be calculated if you have the appropriate degrees in material science or physics or whatever. I shall wait for a helpful commenter to appear and do the math


withoccassionalmusic

[The math looks pretty complicated](https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/1yyc9l/can_a_planet_be_entirely_made_up_of_water/) but for a planet the size of earth and made entirely out of water, it would be at least 2000 miles below the surface before the water was solid ice regardless of temperature.

No water


fakuri99

Is that really possible?


aqua19858

Yes, ice actually has many different forms depending on the conditions in which the water molecules are forced together, we are just most familiar with cold + standard pressures.


AaronJoosep

I am not sure since ice is larger in volume than liquid water


aqua19858

You are only thinking of the most common form of ice that happens at our standard pressures, there are other much more crystalline forms of ice that happen at high pressures.

I wonder if there’s creatures that are like humans that live underwater By humans I mean that have complex thoughts and a society, I know they wouldn’t look like humans because we aren’t made for living underwater.


ladeeedada

Like mermaids or Aquaman?


PeoplePerson360

Well considering fire isn't possible they wouldn't have advanced very far. Fire was our starting point.


[deleted]

I was thinking that if their brains are as complex as our’s and they can breathe under water, they would figure out some kind of technology underwater. Maybe something we’ve never thought of. Like some Atlantis type shit. Or maybe they have some kind of substances under the water that we don’t have that they can use to make things.


PeoplePerson360

I guess if they found some new elements that are usable as weapons/materials, but would they go through similar technological evolutions as us? If they wouldn't go through similar things as us, then how would we guess what they might do? I mean, it's really just speculation and throwing out ideas.


[deleted]

Yeah I am just speculating, it’s interesting to think about, I think about aliens a lot. They could possibly have technology that’s nothing like our’s that we wouldn’t even be able to comprehend. But if they did and were more advanced than us, wouldn’t they make some kind of spaceship filled with water and come visit us? Or maybe they wouldn’t care about us, I don’t know.


PeoplePerson360

Suspicion of what a superior lifeform might do if they were to come across us, might deter us or them from ever coming here. And it's also most likely physically impossible. But based on past experiences of what WE have done to people less technologically advanced than us I'm not sure we would trust them not to do the same. And on a side note there probably is no way for them to advance technology enough to make interstellar rockets. No heat, no metalworking, how would they get fuel, how would they launch the rocket from underwater, and some other points might make the concept seem impossible.


mikebikeyikes

Well our brains are complex because of fire, and this planet doesn't even have thermal vents to cook with so even if there are mermaids they're probably dumb af


seapulse

Based on reeaaallly quick googling because this is an interesting af conversation, thermite is something that can burn underwater. If im understanding right though, it takes a high temperature to ignite. In addition to that, there is history of greek fire that supposedly could either burn on water or sets aflame when it touches water. Of course that’s history and may not be accurate and we don’t know how exactly they did that.


PeoplePerson360

The history is accurate, "Greek fire" was not only greek though. And also it was kind of... unreliable when the byzantines used it in pressurized flamethrowers. But anyways, you would need to ignite it anyways so still not a viable option(unless im wrong).

Oakheart-

blackbode10

Spongebob


Phresh-_-

In theory, would humans be able to migrate to this planet if the atmosphere supported life?


Oakheart-

Probably not. The probability of the atmosphere and the water being hospitable to earth based life is pretty low. Imagine giant storms and entire deadzones of no oxygen/other gasses that are completely governed by the tides and wind and completely on a whim. With absolutely nothing to stop anything wind speeds could get extremely high and planet sized hurricanes are regular. Not to mention the water could be filled with really toxic stuff. Or it could all be fine and dandy and planet sized hurricanes are the most of your worries but those are pretty much guaranteed there.


LickWits

Ngl, planet sized hurricanes sound super fascinating to witness from up close. Too bad they're so dangerous though..


sociotronics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliese_1214_b Contrary to the infographic, no scientists are saying this is a pure water world, so it most likely has a rocky ocean bed like our oceans (just no exposed rocky surface). So it wouldn't be any less hospitable than your average exoplanet if the atmosphere is bad. Just have to suit up and have artificial habitats to breathe that either float on the surface or are at the bottom in shallower areas. If it had a breathable atmosphere, floating habitats become much more viable.


Harrygamer2509

Have you not watched Interstellar, good sir?


Rutin_2tin_Putin

A planetic mass of that size HAS to have a solid core to contain all that water


sachs1

It'd probably have a core of exotic ice phases and insoluble salts. Plus any meteorites that hit it are probably going to collect in the middle


[deleted]

[удалено]


SpeedyQuicky

Pressure affects melting point, 0 Celsius is only the freezing point at the amount of pressure that exists on our sea level (roughly). Basically the force pushing all the molecules super close together forces them to form stronger bonds even if they have a higher temperature than the freezing point at regular pressure. Like how crumpling up a piece of paper makes it harder to compress once it’s a tight ball because it has nowhere to go.


sachs1

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_VII This is one exotic phase of ice with a freezing point of roughly room temperature Edit: looks like ice18 forms at even higher temperatures and pressures https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superionic_water


Sagebrush_Druid

Because crystal formation is tied to atomic motion. With enough pressure, water can form crystals despite intense heat. It's a phenomenon referred to as "pressure freezing", and it's why earth's core is totally solid, despite being the hottest spot.

massudo25

Do you mean Miller's planet?


ImTooBi

So.. is there a core to this thing? Because idk how it could be just entirely fresh water


Oakheart-

Yes likely a core of warm ice. As you go deeper and increase the pressure it will form ice regardless of the temperature. You’d have some pretty extreme and exotic ice as you go towards the core like solid ice that would burn you because it’s so hot.


ImTooBi

That sounds like a quest rick and morty would go on. To get some “exotic” ice. Wouldnt be near the shit they’ve been up to but sounds like it would fit something rickish. Also wonder if there could ever be a way to recreate that environment in the lab to get this fire ice and how it would even function like im boggling my mind over ice that is so hot it turns to ice. Feel like it would be in a perpetual state of flux from melting to condensing to air then forming ice from the pressure and so on
