The Avatar World(LOK) is ISOT to The Verse(Firefly)?

[Gurgeh]

So, what if: By act of ROB the Solar System from the Legend of Korra time period from Season II has been ISOT to the Verse after the events of Serenity. How do you think this new solar system will fair with the Avatar World as of Legend of Korra time in the Verse from Firefly?

[Simon_Jester]

Probably rather well; I seem to recall that planet having at most industrial age technology.

[Batman]

Since we essentially don't know beans about the setup of the Avatar solar system (other than that stupid comet coming by and making firebenders really awesome every once in a while) and even our knowledge of the planet the series takes place on is rather limited I vote insufficient data.

Well the Avatar world doesn't have space travel or firearms but is otherwise on about a tech-level with many of the outer worlds. Bending will be of considerable interest to the Verse, as will the spirits.

A lot depends on what shape the Alliance is in post-Serenity. We could conceivably have everything from "Alliance glasses planet, covers up" to "the rest of the Verse joins the United Republic in protest to the Alliance and bowing to their spiritual superiority, as seen in their powers and easy contact with the spirit world.

Given that fire and water bending are powered by the specific sun and moon of the Avatar's world. Would benders even keep their powers of world?

The OP states the whole solar system is transported, I assume that means the sun and moon as well. From what I remember, the 'verse is actually several solar systems in close proximity to one another, or a solar system so massive it contains multiple suns spread out over several light years.

I have a map around here somewhere that pegs it as a dual binary star system.

That's two binary solar systems orbiting each other around a common barycenter. Actually quite cool, if you have Universe sandbox the system map is available in program.

EDIT: As to how probable it would be for something like that to exist in real life... no fucking clue.

Castor, of Castor and Pollux is actually a double-binary.

[Eternal_Freedom]

Yeah, double-binaries aren't that rare. double-binaries with multiple worlds int he habitable zone...that I have no idea.

Incidentally, there are at least a few triple-binaries. Mizar (in Ursa Major) is one IIRC. It's basically a double-binary with a third binary orbiting the first two pairs. I'd love to see a map of the Lagrange points in such a system, it would be incredibly messy.

Also, the Twelve Colonies of nBSG are apparently a double-binary as well.

[Esquire]

Didn't know either of those things. Neat!

And relevant to this thread, if we're inserting a third star and its planets into a double binary.

Gravitational effects aside, would the new star(s) be close enough to mess up planets' day/night cycles and climates?

[Batman]

Um-if it's a double binary wouldn't we be inserting a fifth star?

[Document]

You're right; I misread that.
