I do not want to be living in your head. Why is searching the unknown with the tools at our disposal anti-science? Because it goes against some kind of norm held by what is deemed the "scientific community"? Who even is that and why do they get to say what knowledge to pursue?
- greenthrow 2y agoI already explained. Evidence. Looking for the unknown does not necessitate looking for a specific highly speculative technology that there is zero evidence for and zero reason to believe exists other than it's a cool idea.
- kiba 2y agoIt is not really a speculative technology. A Dyson Swarm is doable within our existing technological base. If we are capable of building an artificial satellite, we can build a dyson swarm.
- greenthrow 2y agoBaloney. We can not build one that is of any use. That is the speculative part of it. Inherent in looking for it is that it's an extremely worthwhile, nearly inevitable, idea. We have zero evidence for that.
- kiba 2y agoWe build satellites that look at our sun. That's one part of our dyson swarm. The beauty about a dyson swarm is that it can be built incrementally over time as we find new uses for space.
