No, I’m a high school teacher. :)
There are a few conservatives among us. My specialty is history, but I teach in a very good school where they expect all of us to be experts in our subjects and that means I get to talk about these things with people who have reasonable expertise (a lot of us have Masters degrees in our subject area and I have lunch with a couple of science teachers a couple of times a week and this issue came up at lunch the other day.)
What about post #15, did you look at that?
Maybe this planet is too small to be a gaseous planet but would it be possible to have a Jupiter-sized planet in the habitable zone, with moons circling it that could sustain life, ala Avatar?
What do you think?
