  1. If you read "physics shouldn't allow it" just translate it in your mind to "KNOWN physics shouldn't allow it" and you'll be fine.

  2.  @MacNeuvi  I hope you're not suggesting that Saturn or Jupiter are light years away...

  3. We could have five or six "Hubbles" in orbit and there would still not be enough observation time for everyone.

  4. ​ @bencremy  The meaning I conveyed is the correct one no matter how many words are used.

  5. Few people seem to talk about it, but solar power is not a very mature technology. Today's solar panels continue to improve, but they're grossly inefficient. Real solar energy technology has yet to be invented.

  6. Gotta love armchair scientists.

  7. "What does light sound like?" is a ridiculous question. This video was silly and a complete waste of time. It did not explain what we actually learned from these parlor tricks, and why any of this is important. At least I was not surprised by this. 👎👎👎

  8. It seems to me that fine dust is hard to blow off and could scratch anything it is pushed over.

  9. Scratch that too.

  10. Stop treating CO₂ as a significant greenhouse gas already!

  11. @ I'd love to see the temperature data before they doctor it. I guess we'll both be disappointed, huh?

  12.  @Axgoodofdunemaul  If humanity were wiped out tomorrow, all evidence it ever existed would be gone in a few million years. History doesn't give two shits.

  13. I don't like the Many Worlds interpretation. The universe is lazy, by its very nature, and that "interpretation" is far too much work for the universe.

  14. The rings will also only be around in the blink of an eye on the cosmic timescale. We could be considered lucky to be around at the right time to experience and study them.

  15. Just FYI, time and space together as 4 dimensions has been understood for 100+ years.

  16. That's because "c" is the speed of causality. And mass is the difference.

  17. Scratch that.

  18. You sure pronounce some words oddly: magnetism, radiometer, contributes. Carbon footprints are for toddlers.

  19.  @swiftlytiltingplanet8481  That is completely upsidedown wrong. WRONG!

  20. It's the same for "infinitely big" or "infinitely small"

  21. And scratch the panels. No bueno.

  22.  @Matthew.Sirrom  I see two problems with scratching the panels. First, it degrades performance because it changes how light gets to the cells; second it provides more surface area for even more dust to collect back even faster.

  23. This model is spot on! But are there more dimensions?

  24.  @banksuvladimir  I will point out that in a "many worlds" scenario, not everything is possible. Only the things that are defined by prior events can come to fruition. If it is actually possible for humans to live indefinitely, then you would be correct. But that is a big IF.

  25. Does that work for your dryer lint too?

  26.  @raidermaxx2324  You're just speculating. These four bizarre worlds alone should open one's eyes to the possibility of processes we don't yet theorize that could give an Earth-like world a much more powerful magnetic field.

  27. Gotta say, those MOVA Globes look awesome!!

  28. Enya's Dark Sky Island album seems apropos right about now.

  33. 14:00 No. Mercury is too close to the Sun to harvest in this manner. You'd need to move it further away from the Sun first—certainly possible, and certainly within the technological power of a civilization that can/will build a Dyson Sphere too.

  34. Yes—"feelings" are what matter in the world.

  36. P.S. What about a 4D+ hyperbolic Taurus model?

  37. False.

  40. 3) Popular assumptions of humanity are often misguided or wrong. For example, we don't know where "oil" comes from, the process that produces it, or how much there actually is. It does seem inevitable to be exhausted some day, but the Earth itself won't last forever, either. It is not possible, today, to predict the day we run out of oil any more than it is possible to predict the day the Earth gets destroyed.

  41. 👍Remember that they is not a singular pronoun.

  42. But, we do sense the flow of time (or, more precisely, the flow of causality itself). We just don't sense it particularly accurately.
