(now everyone is laughing at you instead of just me….) You have no idea how large or small endor is. So using your flawed system of scale, you can then make anything you want from the numbers you make up.
Canon tells us how big the DS is because of the ICS.
Canon tells us how big a SD is because of the ICS.
Wong tells us that endor is the same size as earth, (which he doesn’t know) and because we have the size of endor we can figure out how big an ISD is. This is obviously flawed.
Well, we already know how big an ISD is because LUCAS tells us how big it is. So to arbitrarily make up numbers, because it has the same gravity, and atmosphere. retarded.
First off lets learn some stuff about planets and how they work.
Atmosphere of a planet is NOT based on its size. That has nothing to do with it. Water and relative distance from the sun, make an atmosphere of a planet. So you first point is moot.
The gravity IS effect by the size of the planet because of its rotation. Jupiter has a stronger gravity because of its rotation, which is caused by its mass. Orbits of planets are caused by the sun. as the sun performs a revolution, it cause the planets around it to orbit. Once a planet starts to orbit is spins because of the pull of the sun, which causes gravity on the planet surface.
(this isn’t exactly what happens, but I had to dumb it down, because of time. I’m in a rush.)
now knowing that, lets talk about titian. Titian is similar to earth in size and make up. Titian has what NASA believes, is an early earth atmosphere, but its gravity is way more than earth. Why? Because Jupiter is pulling at it from one side and the sun is pulling on it from the other, as a result titian has many cracks and fissure, from the resulting force on its plate tectonics. It has violent and massive volcanic explosions (which leads to its early earth like atmosphere), another result of the gravity of the sun and Jupiter pulling on its surface.
So what does this tell us? That a moon that is the size of earth, caught between a gas giant, and a sun which would have to be located in the sweet spot around said sun, to support life in the first place, would be ripped apart by the gravity of the sun and the gas giant at that range. So in other words, it would look nothing like endor in the first place.
So what does this tell us? That endor with the environment that it has CANNOT exist, as far as science can tell us today. So there goes that.
Now back to the problem of math. Since you do not have any proof of how large or small endor is, from any reasonable source. And since we have the measurements of an ISD and SD. Would it not make more sense to use the measurements that no trekkie can argue with to prove your point, instead of saying in your first sentence how canon doesn’t work for your malignant theory? USE CANON EVIDENCE to prove your point.
Wongs “observations” are just that. Some crazy guy, who chooses to make a web site, and post his thoughts on any given subject he sees fit, doesn’t canon make. (god bless free speech)
His theories are fun to read, and his math is sound, its just his information is wrong, his sources are wrong, and thus his conclusions are wrong. It’s ok to have an educated guess, but in the end that’s all it is, a guess.
Wong is not canon.
Others and I have already refuted his bullshit but I figured the board would get a good laugh from this retard.
