I was pushing code while on a transatlantic flight the other day and I got a little overwhelmed with just how cool it was. There I was in a metal tube staying aloft with 2 jet engines, and had wifi at 30k feet while traveling at ~600 mph.

- selectodude 4y agoMaybe. Might just end up being a dense ball of nothing.
- andrewflnr 4y agoTo be fair, "star dust" is not rigorously defined, and the cosmological definition of "dust" includes some pretty big chunks. So after the sun swallows the earth, there's a very good chance we'll qualify. :)
- tim333 4y agoAlso we are more patterns in the dust given that most of the atoms in our bodies swap for new ones over a couple of years. The patterns may be able to continue separately from the dust.
- ChickenNugger 4y agoAt the cosmological scale, stars are dust.
- FrontierPsych 4y agoI thought that at any scale, that they were atoms. Or quarks. Or quantum fields. Or whatever.
- TheCoreh 4y agoA dense ball of _everything_.
- Aperocky 4y agoThat's what we are, entropy generating star dust.
