      “Stripped stellar core” is a crazy concept I could never come up with on my own. A literal diamond in the sky.

      Great video!

      What a weird setup.

      I love all of this crazy stuff we've been finding recently. And not that this planet could support it, but I also love what this unexpected diversity in planetary bodies means for the possibility of weird and unpredictable formulas for life.

      I hope we keep finding crazy stuff like this. I hope it accelerates. I hope we find life soon. I need it.

        Hopefully we find evidence for post-great-filter life too…

          Great filter might involve harsh tradeoffs like "no stupidity allowed". Do you really want to know it?

          Speaking of "great filter", I often wonder about the hypothetical case that we live in a fragile universe.

          Whatever the first civilization is to cause something like vacuum collapse could destroy the entire universe at the speed of light. Maybe it's already happened somewhere and is currently propagating our way.

            Maybe it even is happening but will never reach us from their local observable sphere.

    Getting flung around a gamma ray emitting pulsar while baking on diamonds doesn't seem very groovy

    The aliens living there have silly high pitch voices.

      You should hear what the clowns on Sol-3 sound like.

      They are also rich, it is diamonds everywhere.
