Talk:Babylon 5 (fictional space station)

message: If you double an object's length, the volume will be eight times the size of that object. Given that fact, I believe, that the Mass of the Babylon 5 Station cannot possibly be correct.
For instance:
If you upsized the Saturn V Rocket (roughly the same shape as Babylon 5) to 5 Miles in length, it would be 72 times as long, as the original Saturn V. Fully loaded, it would have the mass of 1119744000 tons. Even if you didn't fill up the tanks, it would still have a mass far greater than 2.5 million tons.
So if that Station is 5 miles in length, it's much too light. Can anyone correct that figure?
:Whatever the figure is, it should be cited.  Given that the station is constructed ~250 years from now, who knows what the construction materials actually are?  Maybe they're lighter or stronger than anything we actually use currently.  Schoop (talk) 21:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you double the lenght of a cylinder, you will double its weight. It will not get heavier by a factor of 8 - this goes for a sphere. Still Babylon 5 is most likly to light.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.209.42.214 (talk) 21:11, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Just a note: Hope you dont mind but i changed it to be its final appearance only, also you dont need to metion the series it belongs to as it will be said on the episode page .
Also, i applied a small fix to "Lurkers guide..." so it doesnt double line. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 22:52, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good changes, but the question then is what is the "final" appearence of B5? The Crusade episode was produced after B5 ended, but Sleeping takes place after it. Koweja 22:56, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm.. I suppose it would be the last one seen IRL.. but i can certainly see your point, hehe. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 22:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

message: It would be a good fit, especially as the Babylon 5 station page expands. Downbelow would fit perfectly as it's a section of the station. Radagast83 21:30, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've no objection at all, i decided to wait a little while though, its a great idea, would you like to merge it or would you like me to (-: ? thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 21:33, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah waiting is good. If there are no objections in the next few days whoever gets to it first can do it. haha. Radagast83 22:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge of Downbelow 

message: Admittedly its been a long time since i've watched the series from start to finish so I could be wrong about this but here goes.  
The way the sectors are described here seem to me to be totally at odds with what was described during the series for instance wasn't Red Sector the commercial zone of Babylon 5, if memory serves the Zocolo is in red 15 which would tend to back this up and also i'm sure Green Sector was described as the ambassadorial wing and that is why it's restricted to ambassadors, their staff and station personel.  I'm also sure Mr Garribaldi said in "Grey 17 is Missing" that Grey sector was the industrial zone of the station and i've never heard of Yellow Sector.

message: I'm trying to understand the layout of the station.  The station rotates to produce gravity, but the C&C post seems to be fixed, therefore have no gravity, located as it is on one end of the station. But C&C seems to have normal gravity!
The best I can come up with is that each sector - blue, red, green, brown, etc. - are stacked side by side, and the levels are like tree rings around the low-gravity central core of the station, part of which is where ships enter and exit the station's freight and passenger bays.  Brown sector was not completed to the outer core, hence "down below" part of it.  If you walk on one level, on a non-curving passageway, you would pass through all sectors. If you walk on one level, on a curving passageway perpendicular to the other, you will completely circumnavigate one sector.
Is this correct? GBC (talk) 09:42, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Last I heard, in English we italicize names of works like movies or TV series, but we do not italicize the names of places, fictional or otherwise.  Would we italicize Mars or Deneb 4?  Anyone?  --Aladdin Sane (talk) 23:27, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't be a section in the article describing the computer model used for rendering the "space station", and maybe its poor appearance? CUSH 16:39, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

message: In the Last Episode (5/22) a guy said that the station returned to the earth (and they shut it down becouse of budget and uselessnes). So could somebody add in the infobox  that the last owner was the Earth again, but i'm not sure if its the "Earth Allianz" because in this time its just the earth government, because the mars and so on is independent. COuld somebody check that up? tanks  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.207.83.174 (talk) 21:39, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Major MOS:INUNIVERSE problems including WP:NOT#PLOT and failing to establish WP:NOTABILITY. (The merge target might have to be renamed List of starcrafts in Babylon 5 for this.) Via in-universe trimming and sourced real-world info expansion, the current topic might become a proper WP:SPINOUT article in the future, but barely anything of the current material would survive. – sgeureka t•c 15:28, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
