I think we are like mold on a tomato that is floating in space.
At the moment, we are barely visible. But over time, the whole tomato (planet earth) will turn into mold.
Earth is 10^24 kg.
So far, humans are something like 10^11 kg.
Maybe 10^13 or 10^14 kg if we count all our stuff, like roads and buildings etc?
So we still have about 99.9999999% of "colonizing earth" in front of us.
- diegoperini 4y ago> Earth is 10^24 kg I'd use diggable surface mass. :)
- kzrdude 4y agoThe biosphere - the part of earth that supports life - is like the skin of an apple, a very thin layer. I would compare against its mass, not all the rock in the mass of the planet.
