You mean all the flash floods were not of water or something else but of crude? wow

Flash Flooding Paved Streambeds on Titan | SpaceRef - Your Space Reference

I wonder how the lightning reacts with all that crude on Titan.

Detecting Thunder on Titan - This could help astronomers find lightnings as well - Softpedia

Do these crude rains alternate with the methane rains in a predictable pattern?

Don't wet yourself Beave unless you are very well versed in chemistry.
Methane = oil right?

And apparently he thinks all hydrogen is hydrogen....

It's no secret that enzyme specific reactions show favoured isotopes. This broad finding cannot be explained by simple methane synthesis from inorganic sources, and thus you can't expect to be able to explain heavier hydrocarbon production isotope values if inorganic synthesis of methane is the feedstock.

Pssst. It's not crude Anna. It's methane but beave thinks there is only one type of methane.

Beave has red a bit of chemistree. So could we burn Titan or not? If so what has happened to the Titanian clams and dynosours? I'm redding lately that hydro-carbons are a precurser of life rather than the other way arround. I could possibly be wrong, but that is soooo totally unlikely.:smile:

I'm not well versed in anything but I will wet myself whenever I damn well please.:smile:

I don't, surprise surprise. I think Titan would burn just like the "organics" contaminated stuff we find here on ert.

Unless there's some process going to begin happening on Titan to release the oxygen from the CO, CO², and ice there, there will not be much of anything burning.

Which came first hydro-carbons or biologics? I haven;t got all evening to wait for an answer guys I have an elbows engagement later , one to lean on and one to pour with. It's all most friday night here and it's Victorias long party weekend.

When we get there we will liberate the oxygen and shovel the hydro-carbons into the fuel tanks.

What came first the "biologics" or the alcohol?

You go ahead. I'm happy here.

Quite a pipeline required and I am sure some Eco group would complain and space animals and how endangered they are.

Oh! You are such a party pooper, goober. We could develope a tractor beam and pull Titan into an orbit around Earth, create a worm hole to siphon off the fuel and have it land in huge tanks down here and save having to space truck it down. Common man, show some initiative.

Would that not affect the specific gravity of those of us that make our own beer?

The Cosmic Thunderbolt

The latest release from the Thunderbolts project has been posted to YouTube.
The Earth-Sun connection is a little more than just some irradiation from a radiating star (our Sun) onto an electrically inert planet (the Earth) and is why Anthropogenic global warming theory is simply nonsense. The observed and measured thermal anomalies are not due to humans but to the underlying physical plasma processes that underlie the physical universe.

Sorry no clams and dinos are needed to make methane. You could burn Titan IF you broke the si O2 bond but if you could do that you wouldn't be pissing around with clathrates.

The Constraints of the Laws of Thermodynamics upon the Evolution of Hydrocarbons: The Prohibition of Hydrocarbon Genesis at Low Pressures.
J. F. Kenney, I. K. Karpov, Ac. Ye. F. Shnyukov, V. A. Krayushkin, I. I. Tchebanenko, V. P. Klochko, (2001), Energia, 22/3, 18-23. PDF version. What do you say to The Prohibition of Hydrocarbon Genesis at Low Pressures? I'm ignorant enough to believe in abiotic oil. A great many others are not in the least ignorant and believe. Don't forget you have bet five hundred dollars.:smile:

Read you links closer. EARTH sciences....or Titan?


That is the first earth sciences paper I've read with more words than numbers. Why is that?

BTW beave your paper has absolutely NOTHING to do with or even mention clathrates.

Why not? If oil is formed from nonliving circumstances then clathrates would be mentioned repeatedly but not a damn word. Why not Beave?
