![]() Ignoring the younger people, he walked directly up to the anthropologist. He was dressed in a thin, shorty wet suit for diving in warm waters. The landing skids were still in the air when the fuselage door opened and a tall man with wavy black hair made an agile leap to the ground. The tops of the surrounding trees were whipped into a frenzy as the helicopter began its descent into a small clearing beside the sinkhole. "They'll come through," offered Chaco in a hollow tone. A minute later a turquoise helicopter with the letters NUMA painted on its sides swept into view. The faint thumping sound of a rotor blade beating the air came toward them, growing louder with each passing moment. In an expectant hush everyone around the rim of the pool listened. Can you arrange to have a dive rescue team rushed to the sinkhole?" Then with shaking hands he gripped the radio transmitter and began sending out an urgent call for help. Their plane isn't scheduled to land in Lima for another four hours." "Not possible," Chaco replied helplessly. Two more victims added to the countless number who had disappeared into the morbid waters through the centuries. They had to be dead, their air used up long ago. Nothing could save Shannon and Miles now. Any attempt at rescue now seemed an empty gesture. One hour and forty-five minute had passed since Shannon and Miles had entered the sacrificial pool. "Can you send the dive team ahead by helicopter?" asked Miller. "They planned to resurface after thirty minutes." "I will, I promise you," Miller said grimly. I'll keep chuggin' along and continue to keep informing you all."We've seen no sign of their air bubbles for the last ten minutes." ![]() You'll understand after the first 1000 yrs. So now for those who can't grasp the concept of how many billions of years it took for Earth to be formed. Even for the thought of adding our own asteroid belt into our system. It's been quite impressive on how much has been done in this amount of time.Īugury - I agree, that would be a neat feature to have. The 2 asteroids that I have are a similar size ratio to the Moon as Benard is to the Sun. ![]() Then, off in the distance, place our moon. Then place the Benard Star right next to it. The size of the 2 asteroids that I've created are as follows: Now is probably the point in which it will start taking ALOT of yrs. It's been 150y and I have 2 main asteroids that have grown over the time. I have slowed the sim time down to 6hr/sec, just for more control of stray rocks. I will repost some results in about a month. I'll get started today, and expand daily and continue into the unknown. They will attract and collide and grow into a larger body.Īlright! So now getting the idea of how things are working in the program, time to expand on my project. no relative velocity) moon in it and then continuously placing more still moons. Originally posted by Greenleaf:It can work, which can be seen by making a new simulation and placing a still (i.e. In there, select the number of bodies.Do not choose 250.000 bodies -) Then let it run and see what happens.Įdit: Just tried a 2-4 radius ring around the sun with 500 bodies and that dense (all things relative) a ring, with that much relative velocity, does actually quickly enough show accretion. Choose one of the preset types and click the little pencil icon bottom right on the ring icon. If you want to run this test, I suggest turning off fragmentation, placing a star and then using the ring tool to create the bodies. The latter can be handled by simply turning off fragmentation, though, in which case all collisions are just merging, so. If, however, you scatter just a few thousand bodies in orbit around a star, the odds of any two bodies moving close enough to collide is rather low (small objects and large space) and the odds of this happening at a relative velocity which is low enough to not just disintegrate them are no better. They will attract and collide and grow into a larger body. It can work, which can be seen by making a new simulation and placing a still (i.e.
