  1.  @JCAH1  I don’t feel much sympathy for Texas. A similar deep freeze happened either in the 20’s or 30’s. There’s humans alive today who experienced the last great failure of the Texas energy grid. The feds suggested guidelines but decided not to enforce. The state of Texas obviously chose not to enforce. The energy companies decided not to invest the money into securing the grid because it happens roughly once every 100 years. Power executives prioritized shareholder profits over reliability and sustainability. That kind of thinking will ensure we never become a full type 1 civilization. Fusion is closer than you think. I grew up most of my life thinking that Fusion would be technology for our grand childrens’ grandchildren. Now the first commercial fusion reactor is scheduled to be completed by 2035 & we’re currently living through a modern space race to harvest Helium 3 off of the moon. It’s surprising when you realize China, Russia and the US are scrambling to get mining operations on the moon. KSTAR just held a stable fusion reaction for 20 seconds. A x2 increase compared to the last benchmark record of sustained 10 second reaction. 10 seconds doesn’t seem like a lot until you realize 300 seconds of fusion reaction generates equal energy to 365 days of non stop nuclear reaction. The goal is to sustain a 50 second fusion reaction by 2035 when the first commercial reactor is completed. A multi trillion dollar investment is inevitable. Moon mining is within my lifetime. Asteroid mining is possible within my lifetime but most likely will be in my children’s lifetime. Our solar system has an estimated 100 million times more resources available in it than what’s available on our planet. Why is it inevitable? Greed and scarcity. Asteroid mining will create the worlds first multi trillionaires & it will solve Earths energy & resource scarcity issues. Fusion is a requirement to harvest the moon & asteroids. A multi trillion dollar investment will lead to thousands of trillions of value to be harvested. Your argument that it’s too expensive is similar to people who argue that NASA is too expensive. Hindsight tells us that the money invested into NASA has benefitted our economy more than 100 fold the initial investment. Investment into NASA is responsible for major advancements in commercial and personal tech that benefits the global GDP. Consider fusion the same, due to the benefits unlocked by that costly investment. Those insurmountable fusion hurdles you’re talking about are currently being lept over & is visible by the ever-increasing time we can sustain stable fusion reactions. Fusion allows us to make orbital infrastructure. Orbital infrastructure solves many issues like I mentioned in my last comment. Orbital infrastructure causes helium 3 to become significantly cheaper. Currently one gram of Helium 3 costs 200 billion dollars. That’s because of the costs to send capital to the moon to harvest it and return it to Earth. Estimates put it that with properly developed orbital infrastructure, we can get helium 3 down to the millions per gram, rather than billions. Also, yes Obama is right leaning. At least by European standards he is. Bernie Sanders is considered slightly left of center by Europe standards. That puts Obama to the right of center. I no longer subscribe to American socialism & instead I subscribe to European socialism. That’s what I personally view as true progressive views & Obama certainly does not share those views. He campaigned twice as if it did. Both terms of his administration delivered something far from Progressive ideology.

  2. Deconstruct Mercury with autonomous drones. Use a rail gun vehicle launcher to send the infrastructure into orbit around the sun. It’s a compounding process. The more infrastructure we send into orbit around the sun, the more energy is available to deconstruct Mercury more quickly. Once energy availability is sufficiently abundant. That energy can be used to fuel expeditions to the Oort Cloud, to begin harvesting resources. Those resources can be brought back to the sun, to further build more of the Dyson swarm/Dyson sphere. Eventually, we’ll have enough energy to venture into interstellar space, harvesting resources out there and bringing them back. Maybe even one day, we’ll venture to colonize a nearby star. The mirrors of a Dyson swarm can be orientated, to send an extremely concentrated and powerful beam of light. This beam could be used as navigation, a way to accelerate a craft, and a way to energize a craft for a long interstellar voyage.

  3.  @Myfootonyourneck1  What suggests it’s wrong by orders of magnitude? Based on observational evidence, we’re pretty damn close. It’s hilarious that anti science clowns sit here and call science a Flying Spaghetti Monster that is orders of magnitude wrong. Whilst typing on a cell phone ONLY possible due to science. If General Relativity is grossly wrong, satellites wouldn’t stay up in space. Logic gates couldn’t handle processing data transferred at the speed of light. The internet wouldn’t exist and you wouldn’t have a platform to spew your idiocy.

  4. We’ll likely be type 2 in 3,000 years, if we survive. Type 3, we’re looking at an aggressive estimate of 2-5 million years. Likely longer to become a full type 3. Unless we make extreme paradigm shifts in our understanding of physics.

  6.  @idgaf2461  It is possible that the cosmic speed limit (the speed of light) isn’t actually speed at all. The speed of light is the flow of time. Which is why faster than light travel is unlikely. Quantum physics is quite amazing and challenging all of our perspectives of classical physics. The speed of light being the speed of time explains how photons can exist in both a particle and energy state at the exact same time. Something classical physics cannot explain. Why this matters: While the speed of light is undathomably fast to humans. It’s incredibly slow on a cosmic time scale. If humans are forever restricted to the speed of light. Then we are doomed to extinction. If humanity unlocked speed of light travel today. Then 94% of our observable universe is already beyond reach and is forever lost to humanity. Every second that passes increases the % of the observable universe that is unreachable. The longer time goes on, the faster cosmic inflation becomes. The longer we wait, the faster that 94% grows. Science speculates and theorizes that there is more universe beyond the observable universe & it’s probably full of a lot of the same stuff. If humans achieve x100 the speed of light today. We would still never reach the most distant objects in our observable universe, let alone anything beyond. So unless we discover something much faster than x100 the speed of light, or teleportation or traveling between multiverses. We’re restricted to our local cosmic neighborhood. That’s great for a species looking to survive millions of years. That’s bad for a species looking to survive to the end of the universe & colonizing the entirety of it. Humanity will be unlikely to survive long enough to see a new era of the universe. We certainly won’t make it to the heat death where civilizations would survive around brown dwarf stars and black holes. The ideal time to be a living being would have been the early universe. A few million years after the Big Bang, everything was a lot closer and denser. The ambient temperature of the entire universe was similar to warm bath water. There was no stars and little to no planets back then. Hell, primordial black holes were likely a rarity back then. If life existed, it existed as beings that survived on cosmic dust and the heat from the rapidly cooling universe. It’s unlikely complex life or intelligent life could have formed. But simple forms such as single celled beings could have formed. This period would be ideal because this life would have traveled more of the universe via cosmic filaments than humanity will likely ever travel. These beings could still exist today. They were nurtured in an ideal environment and had billions of years to evolve biological machinery that gives them resistance and durability to the elements of space. It’s possible that all life in the universe could be seeded by these elementary and early forms of cosmic life. It’s possible that complex and intelligent life could have formed on primordial exoplanets. Whether or not they could have become a stellar or interstellar species without star light is up for debate. At least in our observable universe it does not appear that any primordial intelligent forms existed. Of were successful. They would have existed during an era of the universe where it would have been much easier to colonize other stars and galaxies. A successful species from the primordial planet and star creation days should theoretically have colonized thousands, to millions to possibly even billions of galaxies. We just don’t see that anywhere. Maybe we don’t know what we’re looking for and there is signs of intelligent life all over our universe. We can’t rule that possibility out, but we have a pretty good idea what we should be looking for. We don’t see mega structures. We don’t see artificial dimming of star light. We aren’t detecting signs of energy emissions required for intergalactic structures to move at or beyond the speed of light. What we instead see is an empty universe where everything that happens has a natural explanation, rather than artificial. It could be that intelligent life (us) formed too late. Or it could be that we’re early. While the early days of the universe was ideal for expansion into the cosmos. The increased density of the universe back then made it undesirable for sustainable life. The universe was exceptionally violent during the star and planetary formation era. We know it took life on Earth 4.6 billion years of evolution to go from single celled to complex & intelligent life like us. 4.6 billion is an exceptionally long time to go without having a cataclysmic event that exterminates all life. Earth has had major extinction events but nothing that exterminated 100% of life. Maybe that’s why we’re lucky to be early to the cosmic game of life. One positive consequence that comes from the expansion of space time and the passage of time, is that the universe becomes more gentle. Time allows for solar systems & galaxies to stabilize their orbits & eject or destroy any rouge planets, comets, asteroids, stars, etc. This will allow future planets to have decreased odds of total extinction. The expansion of space time affects all objects, even gravitationally bound objects. Gradually, the distance between all objects grows greater. This also decreases the chances of total extinction events. The later universe will also have less mega stars, supernovas, pulsars, etc. Star production will slow and produced stars will be made smaller. This is also ideal as smaller stars last longer and are more stable. Intelligent life in the later stages of the universe might be restricted to their galaxy, their solar system or even their planet. They’ll look up into the night sky and see a pitch black universe with no stars. They won’t articulate the concept of cataclysmic extinction from asteroids, their sun, etc. These species may believe their world or stellar neighborhood is the universe & may believe it’s eternal. This era of the universe is likely to be the most hospitable era for life. It’s likely there will be complex and intelligent life everywhere, but everything will be so far apart that none of them will know about each other. It could be that this is intentional. When major sources of matter are so far apart that no being restricted to the laws of nature will ever be able to reach. We might as well have mini universes within our universe. It could be that the purpose of all of this is to create an environment ideal to foster isolated life & we are an outlier that exists at an era of the universe we shouldn’t. Our consequence being existential dread about cataclysmic extinction or the fact we can see but never reach 94% of our observable universe. The reward for existing at an unintended time is we see what was not intended to be seen. We know there is more out there. Therefore we may attempt to reach it. We see the larger mechanisms of the universe and we may attempt to hack it in order to do what we cannot within the natural laws of the universe. We may ascend higher, or we may be stopped if a higher creation does not intend for us to do what we set out to do.

  10.  @williamarchibald1378  Tell me one predatory species that doesn’t destroy. Tell me one non-predatory species that has achieved harmony with its environment, without the presence of predators. I’ll save you your response. You can’t. Humans are predators. The only thing that differentiates us from other predators is our intelligence. Of course they destroy. You’re like captain obvious. Tell me something I don’t know. Now tell me how humanity ascends beyond the traits we evolved from living eons in a finite world. You haven’t thought that far ahead. Instead, you subscribe to a belief that humans are parasites on this planet. I suggest you spend some time thinking about the future and what that future means for humanity.

  13. Yes. A void is defined by its quantity, or lack there of. A super void is a void that is defined by length, and classified “super” due to the sheer length of it

  14. Ergosphere defined as the area in which a black hole can externally exhibit its angular momentum influence. Accretion disk where black holes deconstruct matter, into glowing and super heated streams of ionizing radiation via Spaghettification. Photon ring is where some photons get stuck in a permanent stable orbit, just before the event horizon. This is how you can see the front and back, top and bottom of a black hole simultaneously from any angle. Event horizon is the point of no return, where not even light or gravity waves can escape. Gravity is so immense at this point, that time stops existing, and spacetime flows faster than light towards the singularity. The inner event horizon represents the point in which spacetime ceases to exist. What happens within the event horizon, and the singularly, is currently unknown.

  15. Fusion might actually prevent war. It’s such a clean and efficient energy source that it eliminates the need for conflict and competition. That leaves only wars out of ideology, humanities last great weakness. Fusion unlocks the solar system and all of its resources. That eliminates resource scarcity, water included. It allows us to power more efficient infrastructure that could lead to an Earth capable of hosting 1 trillion humans. Fusion will finally make humanity a full type 1 civilization and put us on the fast track to becoming a full type 2 civilization. This could finally be harmony and peace amongst our species.

  18.  @jpthepug3126  Still a short term solution. For example: Our solar system alone has thousands of years of resources. Other stars will be similar. That’s great news for the immediate future of our species. Bad news is it’s not infinite. If we make it to an intersolar species (not quite galactic), we still run into the issue of eventually running out of resources. Which is followed by extinction. Long term survival (into the millions, billions and trillions of years) will require teleportation in one form or another.

  19.  @jpthepug3126  We don’t know what dark matter is. Dark matter engines are a fascinating concept but are entirely theoretical. Anti matter & black hole engines are more likely. We know much more about both of those science concepts than we do dark matter. Our current theory of dark matter is that they are axions or neutrinos that can phase through matter, including the entire planet and star, and possibly even black holes. Unless there’s some force physics we’re unaware of, we’ll unlikely be able to harvest dark matter as energy. We need to learn more about dark matter first though.
    1
  20.  @jpthepug3126  That’s not what anti matter is. Anti matter is matter with a reverse charge. We can create anti matter in labs. Quantum particles make up protons, neutrons and electrons. The charges can be reversed and still exist as a stable particle. The particles cannot interact with their opposite charge or else they release all energy and return to their simplest quantum form. The only reason the universe is filled with matter, is because quantum mechanics made slightly more units of matter than anti matter. We don’t know why that happened, but our best guess is just pure coincidence. Even on a universal scale, 50/50 odds rarely end in an exact 50% percentage. That’s only a mathematical principle that if you have infinite number of rolls, you get to 50%. In reality, a plethora of external forces can lead to say 50.001% or 49.999% even when the odds are perfectly 50/50. That’s why Einstein was so frustrated with quantum mechanics and stated “God does not play dice with the universe”. Which was followed up by an intellectual challenger saying “Don’t tell god what to do”. All these years later, we do know quantum mechanics is a dice roll & it’s a structured chaos beyond pure coincidence. Otherwise 50/50 odds would result in perfect 50/50 rolls. We don’t see that on a universal scale.

  21. Yup the cloud cities of science fiction were based on early science theory of how to study Venus, and even have a permanent scientific outpost on Venus. Science has moved on from cloud city theories though, and now plays with the idea of entirely terraforming Venus to make the entirety of its surface habitable. If humanity decides to undertake this project. It will take roughly 5,000 years to remove the incredibly thick greenhouse atmosphere, and to restore an incredibly earth-like atmosphere. The rewards for doing so is an additional planet that is remarkably similar to Earth. More so than Mars.

  24. Imagine staring into the cosmos, and rejecting the human spirit for adventure. Some people just truly exist in a sad state of fear. The call to adventure is what drove humanity’s progress for thousands of years. Now you want to turn your back on that and call it “the worst idea in human history”. Gee I’m sure glad you aren’t in charge of making decisions on the future of humanity.

  25. The causal speed limit of light only applies to matter & energy. Spacetime is neither of those things, and therefore is not bound by the speed of light. Spooky action is also a quantum mechanical phenomena, which again isn’t bound by the speed limit of light. Only macro universe phenomena is restricted. Quantum randomized information appears to transfer 10,000 times faster than the speed of light. The issue is that this information will likely never be useful to us, as macro organized information can never be sent.

  27.  @TheSorcerer1  You’re referring to the filaments on a universal scale that are influenced by gravity and connect galactic super clusters together. I’m referring to the new discovery made this year (May 2021), that shows that our galaxy has its own individual filaments and that they interact with each other utilizing the electromagnetic force. I suggest you check out the NASA’s newest image they have captured using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. It captured the clearest image of the center of our galaxy that we have to date. It reveals massive filaments at the center of our galaxy and that these filaments only interact with our galaxy alone. These filaments snap apart and reform, releasing x rays billions of times stronger than anything else we’ve witnessed in the universe. Also, I just re read your comment. Not sure where you’re getting the portion about me stating them being man made. I never stated these things are being built by living beings. I’m simply describing a massive scientific discovery that changed my perspective on the Fermi Paradox. It changed my perspective, because it took modern humans a really long time to discover something in our own galaxy that’s billions of times more powerful than we’ve seen before. If something like THAT can go undetected for so long. Then it would be a great answer to the Fermi paradox on why we can’t see life anywhere else in the universe. Why would we see hyper intelligent civilizations, if we couldn’t even see some of the largest and most powerful natural structures of our own galaxy.

  29.  @CardThrone  That’s one possibility. Unlikely though. Asteroids didn’t kill all the dinosaurs. Ice ages didn’t kill all life. Even nuclear war won’t be able to kill all humans. I think a more likely possibility will be that humanity won’t be the same as we know it, but something descending from us will still be kicking around.

All of that and our moon is still our moon. Humanity could chuck and detonate every nuclear warhead ever made at the moon. The result? Nothing really. All of our nukes combined equals about a medium-sized asteroid in terms of kinetic force. The moon used to eat those for breakfast mate.

  33. Yes. During the grand unification epoch, why does 100 quintillion degrees functionally serve as 0 degrees? Why do the fundamental forces merge together into one super force as absolute heat or absolute zero is reached? What causes cosmic inflation? Why did spacetime expand many orders of magnitude faster at the moment of the Big Bang?

  35. Type 5 is known as Type Omega. Complete control over this universe and it’s resources. A type 6 civilization is an alpha omega, capable of controlling multiple universes. A type 7 is a god, overseeing the entirety of creation. Whether it ascended there, or always was is another question.

  36. Advanced civilizations won’t use primitive radio waves. They likely will use gravity waves of neutrinos to communicate across the cosmos. They are better in just about every way when compared to radio waves. Radio is good for technologically illiterate species, like us, who’ve not mastered the physics of the universe yet.

  39.  @casperstour  Sigh.. How does one manage to come to such a skewed conclusion? Light from that object wasn’t 28 billion light years away 14.8 billion light years ago. That’s how far it is NOW. There are photons emitted from it within our particle horizon that were emitted billions of years ago BEFORE cosmic inflation causally disconnected the star. Also, photons don’t die. Their wavelength gradually loses energy as it’s stretched by cosmic expansion, but will be detectable for tens of billions of years.
