Q&A

Can gas giants be turned into solids?

+0
−0

Assume you have access to some very large amount of energy but there are no exceptions to currently known laws of physics (for example, you can't go faster than the speed of light).

Is it possible to turn gas giants like Saturn or Jupiter into planets with solid ground and desired atmospheric composition?

If so what would be the best way to achieve this with minimal assumptions on technological advancement? This last criterion is important: assume a minimal amount of technological advancement!

So if you are thinking about deploying nanorobots running pico quantum computers with superhuman AI so they can re-engineer each molecule, that's not a good satisfying answer.
