it is possible to make a man-made planet?

Question

we know how the core operates. And the land.
i been coming up with ideas by stablizing a core and making a magnetic field along with gravational forces

we invented gravity and magnetic fields some trains have them they are kept from magnets

so if we can do that can we make a planet like that man-made and possible control its orbit and temperture almost like a planetary spaceship and possibly make it habital for life to survive on the planet if it was as big that it would take 2 hours to get out the atmosphere and possible 10 years to get to one side to the other. This may sound ridiculous but it also sounds possible

do you think its could be done in the near future and as great
espicially if it was as advanced as one big city covering it

calia i hope your weret being sarcastic

THE DEATH STAR?

god i wish i would blow up uranus haha

Answer 1

Sure, in theory, it is possible to build a planet, but it won't happen in our lifetimes. First, where would you get all the material? If you want a planet with earth-like gravity, you'll need to build a planet with the same mass as Earth (there are no gravity machines or anything else that "makes" gravity - I don't know what you mean by "we invented gravity" - gravity is a result of how much mass there is, nothing else). So where will you get all that material? All the asteroids in the asteroid belt wouldn't be anywhere near enough mass. Venus has almost enough mass, but why would you destroy one planet just to make another?

As for controlling the planet's orbit, all we can do is place it in an orbit and let gravity do the rest (you know, Newton's Laws and all that good physics stuff). In fact, you'd probably have to build it in the place where you'd want it to go.

Answer 2

I suppose it would be possible to make a planet, but not in the near future. The real problems would be material and energy. Not to mention time and technology.

Material could be collected from the asteroid ring, or we could simply use already available planets, like Venus. If we could move Venus into an Earth-like orbit, all we would need to do is figure out how to convert the atmosphere into something that can support Oxygen-breathing life. Then bingo, we have a planet.

Of course, moving Venus around or collecting stray asteroids would be no cake-walk. It would require massive amounts of energy, much more energy than we have currently available. The first step we would have to take would probably be nuclear fusion. If we can figure out how to make a practical fusion reactor that can fit on board a rocket, we have a nearly unlimited source of energy that can ferry us about our solar system.

But this would still take a lot of time. Astronomic distances are (I'm sure you're getting tired of this pun by now) astronomical. And even if we have loads of energy available, it would still take years to move Venus, and even longer to collect enough asteroids to make a planet.

And finally, we simply don't have the technology to do any of this. We haven't even sent a manned craft to another planet yet. We barely have the technology to do it. We obviously don't have practical fusion reactors yet, and we have no way to develop any of this quickly.

So theoretically, it's doable. Realistically, not in this lifetime. Or many, many more to come.

Answer 3

It is possible, the science fiction writers have been predicting a similar structure. They call it a Dyson Sphere. It is named after Charles Dyson, who postulated the possible existence of such a structure. In his hypothesis the sphere was made from the remains of a solar system similar to ours and measured some 10 astronomical units in diameter. it was made with all the land features that we have here on Earth and even had oceans and other bodies of water. Now, this is a little on the large scale, but I think that we might be able to produce something on the much smaller scale, say about the size of our moon or Pluto. As to when construction could begin, I say look to the International Space Station. The I.S.S. is a good example of human kind creating artificial living environments in a hostile environment for the survival of the explorers of that environment.

Answer 4

We did not invent gravity and magnetic fields. We discovered them. We experienced them and gave it a name.

Gravitational force is one of the threads in the fabric of universe. If you look at the grandness of the universe we are nothing compared to that. What we know doesn't mean that we know it for sure. We consider what we know is correct unless it is proved otherwise. So its only matter of time. What holds good on earth may not hold good say even outside our solar system!?!

Certain things are best if left undisturbed. We have caused enough havoc to earth in the name of development.

Answer 5

Out of reach of 30000 AD Star Wars technology.

Answer 6

Why? In order to make a planet, you'd have to have a planet-sized body for raw materials. So if you have one already, why remake it? This is truly one of the dumbest ideas I've yet heard.

Answer 7

It could be possible to create a small planet the size of a conventional satellite... But not sure it could be useful... As for a bigger planet, you have seen too many star-wars... It can't just be done with conventional technology, but we do know how to destroy a planet, this for sure!!

Answer 8

Been done - the Death Star.

Answer 9

There aren't enough materials on the Earth to do that.. however if we could somehow push Mars to where it needs to be or something like that, then you might be on to something!

Answer 10

Where you gonna get the trillions and trillions of tons of stuff to form it ?
