Could we set Uranus on fire to steal its hidden diamonds?
It would be tricky to burn away the outer layers of Uranus, but doing so could reveal a possible stash of gems – in this episode of Dead Planets Society, the hosts reveal a relatively simpler technique to rob the ice giant
(Dead Planets Society is a podcast that takes outlandish ideas about how to tinker with the cosmos – from snapping the moon in half to causing a gravitational wave apocalypse – and subjects them to the laws of physics to see how they fare. )
Uranus and Neptune are remarkably alike, so we don’t need both of them. That’s the reasoning behind this episode of Dead Planets Society, in which our hosts Chelsea Whyte and Leah Crane have decided to light Uranus on fire.
Of course, there is a scientific rationale for this – for one, burning a material and examining its light through a method called spectroscopy is one of the best ways to determine its chemical composition. For another, the deep interiors of the ice giant planets remain murky and mysterious, so burning away the outer layers could reveal what is beneath.
Before we reach for some matches, this episode’s special guest, planetary scientist Paul Byrne at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, says this might be tricky. As he explains, the outer layers of Uranus are lacking in oxygen, which is required for combustion. It might not even help to pump in more oxygen than is contained in the entire solar system.
