I vote we write to our legislators to update the laws of thermodynamics to enable this. Typically I would agree we should leave well enough alone, but in this case it seems like the benefits outweigh the costs.
- protocolture 1y agoJust run it in Australia, we already overturned mathematics.
- hackyhacky 1y agoThat's not how the laws of thermodynamics work. In reality, you would need to convene an international consortium to approve to the change, and the Chinese wouldn't sign on unless we agree to a temporary suspension of Newton's third law.
- 90s_dev 1y agoWe would only need a committee's approval if changing it would break things. I say we skip that process, test it in a lab somewhere in rural midwest where nobody lives, and see if gravity starts changing or whatever. As long as cows don't start to float in a 3 mile radius within 4-5 hours, that's probably good enough validation to move forward with changing thermodynamic legislation. [edit] we should also probably make sure the boiling point of water stays the same
