I had an interesting thought lately. We all know Earth is known as "the blue planet." Reason being is that nearly three quarters of our surface is covered in water. Well, we all also know that planet Earth isn't the only blue planet in our solar system - Neptune is even bluer. So I had the thought: what if planet Neptune is a waterworld?

I base this speculation on a few things. In order to speculate, we need to recall some of John Lear's past statements:

1.) John Lear has stated that he believes there are no such things as "gas giants," or more formally, "the only gas giant in our solar system is NASA." This would mean that all planets have some type of solid surface.

2.) John Lear has stated that the sun is not a giant thermonuclear ball of fire, and that is actually an electromagnetic sphere. The sun's electromagnetism interacts with the atmospheres/electromagnetic properties of planets. This interaction then generates the planet's temperature. This would imply that a planet's distance from the sun does not dictate its temperature, and as long as the planet is within reach of the sun's energy (within the heliopause), the planet could be sufficiently warmed.

If these two things are in fact true, that would mean that Neptune could have a temperature similar to Earth's, along with a solid surface to walk on.

Here is the assumed "accepted" composition of Neptune:




To John Lear, Sleeper or anyone else that knows more than the average Joe: do you believe the above diagram is accurate? Basically, what are your views on Neptune? Do you believe that it possesses a solid surface and a surface composed nearly entirely of water?



Bright blue, white wispy clouds...it sure looks beautiful. Does anyone possess the belief that Neptune is not a gas giant/ice giant and is in fact a giant planet covered in a vast, blue ocean?

I just thought it was an interesting possibility...

There are no "water planets" in our solar system. Just like there are no ‘gas giants’ in our solar system. That is a myth propagated by NASA to promote the belief that 'we', the 'human' race' are the only living beings in out solar system.

The major reason that NASA promotes that belief is to make us feel like we are 'alone' and dependant on earth invented technology. They don't want us thinking that there are 'better' or different places.

NASA is controlled by 'forces' that we know nothing about. Mike Griffin is a figurehead; he knows very little about what is really going on. You would really be surprised at all of the 'projects', 'planes', 'vehicles' 'satellites' 'space stations' and who all knows what NASA has out there.

There are secrets, within secrets, within secrets of which 'we', you and I know very little. About all we know is that a space shuttle goes up to a space station every few months and drops off parts that usually don't work.

The truth is mind boggling. There is so much stuff going on 'out there' not only in orbit around the earth but on the moon, on Mars and on many of the other planets it would make your head spin if you knew ten percent of it.

No. Neptune is not a 'water planet'. People live there like they do on earth. We have an amazing solar system but you are not allowed to know anything about it. Why? Because those in charge here on earth don't think its any of your business. Thats why.

Oh, one more thing. The only 'gas giant' in our solar system is NASA.

ChocoTaco369 I think your speculation of the planet Neptune if fairly accurate. Neptunes surface looks like it's made up of mostly water and ice.

Supposedly the winds there are very strong, upto around 1000 mph in speed. If the winds are that fast, then the winds there could easily raise ice particles high into the atmosphere and cover the planet like we see it in the photo.

I'm very sure you are right ChocoTaco369 that Neptune is a water/ice covered planet. There is also the high percentage that there might even be land sticking out of that mass of water/ice, since there seems to be indications of "near surface" magma activity.

Neptune is not a gaseous planet, because there are no real gaseous planets or stars. I know that people are going to say there are gaseous planets but they are not thinking right. Here is why.



Lets compare a cloud in the sky circling the Earth to what a gaseous planet would be like while circling the Sun.

We all see gaseous clouds in the sky circling the Earth, at least for a short period of time. The clouds usually change their shape quite often, and they always form, change their shape and then disappear. They are never able to keep their shape or to stay permanently.

Now.... you and I know by simple logic, that when you see a planet circling the Sun that they don't fade in or out, or disappear. Somewhere inside of the gaseous atmosphere is a planet. Just because it has high winds on those planets to raise the dust farther from their surface, definitely doesn't mean that it's a gaseous planet.

Yes, more gases and dust have been raised into the atmosphere, but down below is a solid mass with a strong enough field to keep the gases and dust in captivity while the planet makes its revolutions around our sun.

You and others can see that for yourself by the extreme definition of Neptune. If it were really gaseous, you would be looking at something more like a Nebula, which is gaseous. How many of you have seen a Nebula circling a Sun/Star? ... and you never will see a gaseous Nebula circling a star; if you do, then tell me which Nebula it is that circles a star; ha there are none. Therefore, there are no "real" gaseous planets.

When you look at Neptune, you see a fairly crisp outline of its ball like exterior. You can see that it has an atmosphere, because its surface isn't clear. But its fairly crisp ball shaped outline lets you know there is definite mass not far down under the veil.

The planet Neptune has a very small iron core in comparison to the Earths, per size vs volume.

The photo of Neptune describing its composition I believe is incorrect. I believe the Upper Atmosphere and Atmosphere are correct, but the Mantle is incorrect. The Mantle should be rock intermixed with magma. Also, there is the possiblity that there is crust sticking out of the ice/water in places.

If a Scientist/Astronomer wants to belong to the club, hold on to tenure, keep a chair, feed himself and his family he needs to toe the party line. And the party line is: whatever the National Science Foundation says it is. Period. Some haven't and they have paid with their reputations and careers. And, no, if you are interested you will have to do your own research but you can start with Hansen, Lowell, Pickering and Firsoff.


I really want to take issue with this.

Are you making this rubbish up as you go along?

Maybe I have looked into the wrong Hansen, Lowell, Pickering and Firsoff.


Peter Andreas Hansen 1795 - 1874

He twice received the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society and was awarded the Copley Medal for correcting earlier measurements by others on the distance to the sun, amongst many other awards.


Percival Lowell 1855 - 1916

He studied Mars, specifically the canals and thought that these were not natural formations, leading to the idea that Mars may have life. Spent the last few years of his life searching for a planet beyond Neptune. Founded the Lowell Observatory.


William Pickering 1910 - 2004

Worked for JPL for most of his life and worked extensively on the Mariner probes. Retired from JPL aged 66 in 1976. Received numerous awards and accolades during and after his career.


Axel Firsoff 1910 - 1981

Amateur astronomer from Sweden who moved to Glastonbury, UK. Worked for the British Olympic Ski Team in the 1950's. Wrote books about ET life and thought the craters on the moon were volcanic.


If I have used the wrong Hansen, Lowell, Pickering and Firsoff, maybe you should be more exact when dishing out names of astronomers. From what I can tell, none (ZERO) of these paid with their reputation or career for having unusual views or having challenged what was beleived to be true at the time. As for Axel Firsoff, he was never a 'proper' astronomer, just an enthusiastic amateur, so had no reputation to tarnish.

Maybe I have this all wrong. I don't think so. I think you do.

oh well that is a relief! No underwater worlds!! phew

I had a freaky dream where I saw these human aquariums. There were women all attached to some jelly fish via tentacle giving it life and then becoming jelly fish spawn... No joke. I was like... I don't want to be a queen jellyfish or jellyfish spawn.

Kill the underwater jellyfish king... LOL and then I was running around severing the tentacles. That was a freaky dream but I am feeling relieved now you state there exist no underwater worlds!!!

woo hoo
