Oh man, this! This is exactly what we need for our skies here!

Indeed! It's so relaxing and majestic. We could spend all day just watching.Β

So fun to gaze into other worlds through the sky.

Quite the striking painting. I'd love to go swimming here at sunset with the two moons out. But then again it's probably not hospitable to Earth life.

Indeed! It's actually another universe. Some of the elements that compose your body would start to decompose since they wouldn't be stable under the conditions of this universe.Β

Oh, right, like the Weakless Universe?

Uh, I don't know about that. I was thinking of "The gods themselves" by Isaac Asimov.Β

Well, you could have universes where physical constants are different.Β Get rid of the weak nuclear force, and nucleosynthesis is impeded.Β The jury is out on whether or not it would be viable for life, stellar and planet formation would still occur, but the reduced quantities of heavier elements might prove problematic.

Interesting!
When I did this piece I was thinking of a universe with lighter elements, with some heavier atoms from our universe being unstable, but I didn't knew where to draw the line between stable and unstable.
Anyway, the thing is those planets are made of light elements and also the gravity is even weaker than in our universe, that's why they can be so close without ripping each other apart.
There are some differences in the elecromagnetic spectrum, but that's just a pretext to have bright pink natural minerals and I can't elaborate on those differences since I don't know what to invent to justify that. Β

So when you say the elements of our bodies "wouldn't be stable", you're saying they're radioactive.Β I expect a camera would be made of even more radioactive elements, then.Β

Could be local lighting.Β Could be that the camera wasn't calibrated quite right, but that someone liked the effect and saved the picture anyway.

Interesting concept.Β
