The
superhuman ability to move planets throughout the solar system at our will may
sound far-fetched , but scientists say it's not impossible.It may be possible to move planets
like Mars into a "Goldilocks Zone" that could create habitable
conditions on the celestial bodies, scientists believe.In a podcast last week,
US Scientist was asked about such a possibility. A
listener asked whether using the same methods, scientists theorize would work
to move meteorites, would it be possible to move uninhabitable planets to
regions of our solar system where they could potentially sustain human life,
"New York Daily News" reported . "There's a planet we want to live
on. It's too close or it's too far away, let's move it to the Goldilocks Zone
where the temperature from the Sun is just right for liquid water opposed to
frozen water or evaporated water," Tyson answered .Tyson said such
planet-moving is indeed 100% theoretically possible."The day that we can
begin shifting planetary bodies around like asteroids and large asteroids, I
don't see any reason why we can't start shifting planets around," Tyson said.
Retired senior scientist of Nasa's Orbital Debris Research Donald J Kessler
said he agreed that it is a "pretty simple concept" and entirely possible.
However, "huge amount" of energy is required to push a planet, he
said. He said there was a difference between moving an asteroid on track to
slam into Earth and repositioning a planet
