  1. Inch perfect sonar remotely across the entire developed country. 5g is dangerous - to privacy / personal security

  2. I want to share this perfectly poignant comment

  3. Look up the YouTube video of the guy who made WiFi into a bitmap stream, it worked well enough to see objects but 5g ladar would be hugely invasive at close range.

  4. I suspect that carbon nanotubes would be more suitable than carbon fiber, especially considering radiation degredaing the resin binding the carbon fiber. Cables could be constantly adjusted using servos and photovoltaic imho. No wind, light gravity, definitely fully suspended and dynamically tension adjusted will be the most viable solution imho.

  5. Well, they could just build electrical power lines with electrified long distance rail and you'll cut the infrastructure costs of both projects in half. That would make it viable. Transporting construction materials at economies of scale to build the panels is guaranteed to operate at max capacity, paying for itself in the process of other construction. This is why we need more programmers in government. Not to write code, but to plan effectively.

  6. So... In one Trump administration of blunders we could've had a 60km wide space station construction program right now?

  7. Looks like a job for graphene lol

  8. (How) do we adjust clipper's velocity as it experiences it in jupiter's gravity well and at varying speeds within it? It's be neat to know how many nano seconds it loses from our frame of reference every year.

  9. I can't help but wonder how those new F-22's got so much guff for being expensive lol compared to this the raptors look damn cheap

  10. So there's a potential to make blankets out of recucked batteries, use spent heavy water catalyst from a nearby nuclear reactor, and use that to fuel fusion reactors next to fission reactors which can breed successive fission reactors next door with waste by-products? That sounds insanely clean to me. The amount of output energy for gram of concentrated waste seems like a no-brainer investment to me.

  11. So many of your videos I've stopped in my tracks like "daaaamn, this one's definitely my favorite... ", thank you for your work man 👍

  12. You're wrong about photosynthesis efficiency. Britannica for eg: "Therefore, the estimated maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis is the energy stored per mole of oxygen evolved, 117 kcal, divided by 450—that is, 117/450, or 26 percent. ... Consequently, plants can at best absorb only about 34 percent of the incident sunlight."

  13.  T[A]P Me!! To Have [S]EX With Me  lol I like to think people can work together at solutions rather than just fighting confirmation bias with confirmation bias trying to be the one who was "right". Few things are so black and white as the loudest voices would have us believe.

  14. Classy 👍
