Let’s assume that the stars are planets of same volume, and with the same density as earth (this is impossible, because after a certain mass, telluric planets turn into gaseous planets, and after a certain mass, gaseous planets undergo fusion and turn into stars, but let’s say that with the same magic that allows a giant robot to exist, a giant telluric planet the size of a star can exist). After that assumption, we see that the planets have a very intense gravity field. To stay upright, the inhabitants of this planet would have to be made of a material so strong and light, it wouldn’t exist. Let’s call it protodermis. Now, let’s address the size issue. The bionicles that live on this planet are having to deal with such a great gravitational pull, that they would HAVE to be small. Not as small as our cells, because then they would be so small, that molecules would appear in the storyline, but big enough to have a complex nervous system so that they could be comparably as smart as us (humans). Let’s say, that since they are biomechanical, that their brains are part cellular, part computer. that would allow the matoran to be the size of their sets (this is the limit that we think miniaturization could bring us, so since bionicle would be in the same universe, they would have to obey the same physical laws as us: I’m not going to pull this story so far that the bionicles are the size of atoms, because that would be the best.). So with all the assumptions I just made, we couldn’t see their island with our own eyes, because we would be crushed, but they would float in our atmosphere, because of how light they would have to be to be able to stay alive on their planet. So the giant robot would be big, but not taller than our skyscrapers.
pardon me, but I still need to read the books, so I say matoran, when i’m probably wrong. also, this is based on what I know about bionicle. as I have said, I need to read the books.
According to canon The GSR is thereabouts the diameter of earth. The Toa Mata/Nuva were about 8 ft tall and the matatoran were 4 ft tall. The Island of Metru Nui is a few kilometers long. So While your theory is SIGNIFICANTLY more logical than Bionicle actually was It simply can’t be.

You’re both missing the most obvious explanation.
Real world physics don’t apply in BIONICLE.
I’m serious. This world has GB’s capable of making Toa who can control gravity at will. Do you really think it’s beyond their capabilities to decrease the gravity of their own planet?
meh… true. I’m just saying that if “we found Solis Magna”, and could meet up with them (and dealt with the time it took for us to get there, moving at lightspeed, or using some exotic physics to get us there, but we would still be several thousand years late, because the light had to get here in the first place, which might mot be a problem, since they have the kanoka vahi), then it would be hard to do anything with them, since either they will explode due to lack of gravity or pressure when we are comfortable, or we will be flattened like pancakes and crushed like peas because of their exceedingly large pressure and gravitational pull on Solis Magna. We might be able to communicate by radio waves, but it’s not like they have TVs or anything. As for the great beings, they might have seen the conditions on the planet, didn’t see any problems, and made all the magical substances that allow the matoran to live the way they do. Of course, I know that our physics don’t apply to the bionicle universe, but I’m just theorizing over what would Solis Magna really be like if the nebula nasa found were actually Solis Magna.
I lol’d at this more than i would like to.
Despite the sticks in the mud and fanatics, I can’t help but still be intrigued.
Also, they named a region on Pluto after something from Doctor Who. So there is a legitimate (albeit VERY SLIM) chance that someone will name it after the Solis Magna system.
Either way, Hail Denmark.
It’s a dang shame that, by now, it’s probably either changed or gone
I edited it:
The red star and the Mata Nui robot are the only things you added right?
I didn’t really know how to add anything else.
We need 71 more votes, is it stil valid?
