[edit] Tylium's technical statistics

Where does the all the scientific data for Tylium come from, like it's "specific heat" and "rest mass"? I have never heard any of this discussed in either the original series or the remake and since such a material doesn't exist where did the info come from? Cyberia23 06:07, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Please really check the referred source carefully before asserting something is not sourced. As referred correctly in the article, it comes from episode 1x10. Dr. Baltar clearly states in a dialogue (about 11 minutes and 40 seconds into the episode) that "refined Tylium containes tremendous entropy, to order of half a billion megajoules per kilo." — Ylai 09:45, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Episode "1x10"? What episode is that? Are we even watching the SAME show? It doesn't appear on either List of Battlestar Galactica (1978-1980) episodes or List of Battlestar Galactica (Re-imagined series) episodes. First off all the template asked for was a REFERENCE which you still haven't provided, so the template shall be returned. Cyberia23 21:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

It's been so long since I last watched the episode but I'm sure Baltar rambled on about some physics relating to Tylium in The Hand of God (RDM) - I'll see about confirming this tonight if possible. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 22:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Baltars physics

Thrace: A nuke would destroy the Cylons..
Baltar: But the radiation would render the Ore inert, unusable (and some random Latin word here I think that I didn't understand..). Well your in luck you know refined Tylium contains tremendous entropy to the order of 1/2 a billion megajoules per kilo if subjected to the right heat of compression say from a conventional warhead you should get a suitably devastating explosion without the radioactive fallout.
Tigh: All we have to do is hit the right spot.
Baltar: Specifically you need to hit the station tanks for the refined Tylium pre-cursor, *Baltar smirks* It's a lot more unstable then the fuel its self.

That's the dialogue from The Hand of God. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 23:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dirty Hands

In "Dirty Hands" we got a good luck at Tylium liquefied. Also the sand is refined Tylium isn't? I've got screen captures of both if anyone wants them in the article. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 15:53, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

That would be cool :) I laughed when I saw the pile of Tylium and was like "Wow! Beach sand! We got lots of that on Earth - lets go to the stars!" Cyberia23 21:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I was confused for a second tbh :-D! One day I'll av me own Battlestar, you watch ;-)! thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 21:57, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
