Enjoy the ulcers and needless anxiety!
Nothing like a good sense of humor,
It's no problem at all dispelling ignorance to "know it all's"
When the students are ready, then the teacher arrives...!
Just think of me as a patient and friendly teacher...

maybe it's of one of those invisible gases?

Rest assured, that the team of scientist's and analysts I work with are doing a thorough
review of all related materials and correlating the facts while postulating varying
hypotheses for any incorrect logarithms that might flaw the thought
process in determining the orbital mechanic's of the formula/formula's in question.
Hope that clears it up for everyone,
If not, too bad and please stop publically whining and crying...

Brown dwarfs are failed stars. It's true that there is very little difference between the largest gas giants and the smallest brown dwarfs, but Jupiter is not one of the largest gas giants.

Isnt jupiter a failed star? not sure but ive heard something about that..
IF it is, wouldnt a gas giant 4x bigger than jupiter ignite and BECOME a star???

No it would be a planet...if it meets all the criteria.
“In terms of gaseous planets, once they reach 15 Jupiter masses or so there is enough pressure in the core to ignite deuterium fusion, so those are considered “brown dwarfs” rather than planets.”

15 jupiter masses are way too much! at that rate, it would be a red dwarf already. jupiters mass is almost at its critical mass limit, a celestial body exceeding a litle bit more than that the mass of jupiter, will start to perform fusion reactions!
you can also call a brown dwarf, a semi star. since the fusion reactor is yet in its stabil state, to create a sustained fusion reaction in the center of the star. the brown dwarf is a "sometimes i do fusion reactions, and sometimes i dont" sort of star.
A remarkable property of brown dwarfs is that they are all roughly the same radius as Jupiter. At the high end of their mass range (60–90 Jupiter masses), the volume of a brown dwarf is governed primarily by electron-degeneracy pressure,[4] as it is in white dwarfs; at the low end of the range (10 Jupiter masses), their volume is governed primarily by Coulomb pressure, as it is in planets. The net result is that the radii of brown dwarfs vary by only 10–15% over the range of possible masses. This can make distinguishing them from planets difficult.
A red dwarf is a small and relatively cool star on the main sequence, either late K or M spectral type. They have a mass of less than half that of the Sun (down to about 0.075 solar masses, below which stellar objects are brown dwarfs) and a surface temperature of less than 4,000 K. Red dwarfs are by far the most common type of star in the Galaxy, at least in the neighborhood of the Sun. Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the Sun, is a red dwarf (Type M5, apparent magnitude 11.05), as are twenty of the next thirty nearest. However, due to their low luminosity, individual red dwarfs cannot easily be observed. From Earth, none is visible to the naked eye.[1]

Hi, I don't have enough experience on this site yet to make my own thread, so I figured I would just post a response here for it. Check out this link and let me know if its real or not. I figured I would ask one of the most judgmental sites ever haha.

I know Uranus has invisible gases sometimes around 1000%. But this thread is just crap.
