If Planets Were Donuts

What if planets were not (nearly) spherical but rather torus/donut shaped? Topics discussed: types of tori, stability of torus planets, gravity vs centrifugal force, curvature, tidal forces, seasons and day/night cycles, climate, hurricanes, coriolis forces, tectonics, internal heating, moons, and the four color theorem. ————— ARTIFEXIAN ON THE INTERWEB: ► Podcast: https://www.artifexian.com ► Youtube:    / artifexian   ► Facebook:   / artifexian   ► Twitter:   / artifexian   ► Blog: http://www.scifiideas.com ————— CREDIT: ► Anders Sandberg: http://goo.gl/hc8pys ————— LINKS: ►Torus on Wikipedia: http://goo.gl/QbdSKA ►Topography of a Twisted Torus: https://goo.gl/zlAe3q ►Embedding a Torus: https://goo.gl/dBxHSy ►Torus-Earth: http://goo.gl/99xZXK ►Torus-Earth 2: http://goo.gl/xlK4iW ►Toroidal World: http://goo.gl/9aWjck ►Torus Planet Simulation: https://goo.gl/Esm8OX ►Discussion on Torus planets: http://goo.gl/XMLV7D
