Imagine a scenario in which We Built an Artificial Planet, sometime in the not so distant future, we concluded that the usefulness of our planet had run its course, and people expected to scour space to discover some place new to live. However, rather than finding a conceivably habitable Earth-like exoplanet light years away, we'd fabricate our own fake world right in the Solar System. This is WHAT IF, and this is what might occur in the event that we assembled a counterfeit planet.
Rough planets like Earth are born from the extra material of a recently framed star. They get going as grains of residue smaller than the width of a human hair. These grains intertwine into bigger chunks that continue to crash into one another until, following two or three million years, they form into another earthly world. Hypothetically, we comprehend how planets are framed in the Universe. Yet, how might we go about manufacturing a fake one? On the off chance that we people were to assemble a planetary reproduction and populate it, we'd need to produce a stone with an environment of breathable air, the right temperature, Earth-like gravity, and a steady circle around the Sun.
Furthermore, that is only first of all. We'd start the construction in the Sun's livable zone. That would assist us with keeping up Earth-like temperatures on our counterfeit planet. In any case, where might we discover all the materials to assemble it? Space rocks may appear to be a decent source. The issue is, the Earth has the mass of more than 2,000 space rock belts. There's just not enough asteroids in the Solar System to assemble another, Earth-sized world. In any case, there could be enough materials in the Oort cloud - the multitude of frosty garbage that, speculatively, exists in the outermost reaches of the Solar System.
In any case, this cloud is distant to such an extent that even Voyager 1, that has been going at 17 km/s(11 mps) for as far back as 41 years, will not arrive at it for an additional 300 years. What's more, it will not make it to the other side of the Oort cloud for around 30,000 years. We'd need to fabricate some quicker shuttle to get all that residue and nudge it the correct way. We could likewise begin stealing moons from different planets. The entirety of Jupiter's moons, for instance, would give us enough material to craft a planet about 7% the size of Earth. That would be a decent beginning on the off chance that we could figure out how to pull them out of Jupiter's circle. It wouldn't be important to build our new world as large as the Earth to duplicate the equivalent force of gravity we feel now. In the event that we could pack one tenth of the Earth's mass into a circle the size of the Moon, it would do a similar stunt. In any case, it would take us in any event several hundred years to complete the development. When all the designing issues were tackled, and our recently framed counterfeit planet settled into space around the Sun, we'd dump in some water. We'd let it dissipate to create the air.
We could even infuse some of the carbon dioxide delivered by dirtying enterprises on Earth. Then, at that point we'd get the plants. Plants would gradually assemble up oxygen in the climate through photosynthesis. At last, following quite a while of planet-assembling, the principal human provinces would go to the new terrestrial human-made planet. Despite the fact that it would be more modest in size, the Earth's reproduction wouldn't seem much not quite the same as the first. Earth-like temperatures and gravity would cause it to feel like our home planet.
However, it wouldn't be just about as steady as the Earth. Our counterfeit world would require dynamic upkeep - from the planetary climate to our orbital boundaries. Right now, there's so much we don't think about the Universe. Furthermore, we can just think about how a new planet would shape inside it. Now, it very well might be easier to terraform a current world as opposed to building an absolutely new one. Yet, that is a story for another WHAT IF.
