Wow, I don't want to even think what the gravity would be like on a world that dense.

as far as worlds go, and assuming its around the same size as earth, probably not incredibly intense (compared to some other planets in our solar system). Significantly less than Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus, anyway. Probably 2, maybe as much as 3 times our own gravity.

idk, they held in water on mars pretty well, and that press conference was announced well in advance. This one was only announced like, today or yesterday. I'd imagine it'd be a big deal if they're rushing to the conference.

Doubt it. I mean, it'd be a pretty big deal. The Russians, Chinese or Japanese, etc... would have announced it. People often underestimate how many space agencies there are, and big discoveries like this couldn't go unnoticed for long.

I mean, I doubt its life they're announcing, but if it is, its completely feasible that one of the worlds best funded, most well equipped agencies is the first to discover it, manages to keep it under wraps long enough to confirm it, and announces a press conference for the next day. Or, perhaps more likely, have discovered it, but can't confirm it, which would mean they'd be announcing the conference within days of the initial discovery.

Well, if they even hint at the existence of alien life, my guess is they'd receive some huge budget boost, no pun intended. But as I said, unlikely. Most informations of this size get revelead long before they're officially disclosed, these days.

Which could explain why the conference seems to be being rushed along - although in all likelihood im just reading into it, since im almost certain its not about alien life, anyway. At least, not absolute proof or nearly absolute proof.

Hopefully it's about the exoplanet made of diamonds, and they're launching a program to bring it into our own solar system and harvest it, and all proceeds are going to me. But probably not. It's probably aliens.

I want to believe.

Most likely they just found another dumb exoplanet, and they're just overhyping it.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

The aliens are finally offering us a book deal.

Humanity: An Autobiography.

It will be written by a combination of our most esteemed historians, philosophers, scientists, religious figures, and diplomats, to give the aliens the real inside scoop. It'll be a page turner. The work will be available as an e-book, or in 519 volume print form.
