Love reading people writing 'I'm an expert' - then quoting wiki!

The original poster is correct, with 1g or more (note this is g, not G, the universal constant - dur) you would expect a planet to have an atmosphere of some kind.

Yes, you certainly would. And wiki quotes or links to crackpot websites...well...what can I say?

Real reason why most of the planets which should have atmospheres have none:

Atmospheric flight isn't available until later, or maybe Season 3.
Once every one of you part ways with another 30 quid, things will go back to the way it should be. ;)
And the universe will right itself.
Just like what God said: Money talks and bullsh1t walks....

Yes. I think you and Iskariot are right about that.
 
Yes indeed, however if the two were taken to court, then the electric Universe theory would win hands down because there is so much more evidence to support it than there is for the presently accepted theory coming from academia. Lots of the so called scientists teaching at places like Oxford and Cambridge are talking out of their collective :):):):) on many subjects. All provable. It's the dogmatic approach that they adopt which prevents unbiased investigation. Have a quick look at Rupert Sheldrake to get a feel for whats going on.

Wibble!

Based on your own statement, if the theories were taken to court then Electric Universe Theory would lose because a jury of his/her peers would say so simply because, as you say, it is not the accepted theory. :)
 
so its my understanding that it takes multiple things for a planet to have an atmosphere. first the planet has to have sufficient gravity. second the planet will need the building blocks for an atmosphere. primarily the gases that commonly make up planetary atmospheres. if there are no gases around for the planet to "grab" it can't have an atmosphere no matter how strong its gravity. third, the planet needs a live core generating a strong enough EM field to maintain most of its atmosphere. otherwise it would be rapidly stripped by solar winds. you can however encounter a dead planet with some remaining atmosphere like mars if you reach it at the end of its life before all atmosphere is stripped.

basically the situations surrounding the planets birth, its gravity, its age, living or dead, strength of solar winds, and etc all play a role in whether a planet will have an atmosphere at any point in time.

so what im trying to say without going into way to much detail is based on these factors a planet can be high G and still have no atmosphere.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Looking at some of the replies here, some might hope for further replies from me on this. Critical thinking is YOUR own responsibility, not mine.
 
I suppose there are events that can vanish an atmosphere over larger periods of time, good example is Mars according the newer scientific claims. In other words, in my opinion, it's possible that even planets with higher gravity have no atmosphere.
