I was thinking of some of the mechanical problems related to life on higher-gravity worlds-- thought up a few points, but then decided, why reinvent the wheel? I'll google up some good stuff: http://www.sciforums.com/Has-anyone-thought-about-creatures-would-be-on-high-gravity-planets-t-24869.html a short mention here: http://www.molvray.com/sf/exobio/astron.htm and 4 points here (not all of which I agree with) http://io9.com/325109/four-theories-about-creatures-from-high+gravity-worlds ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
