The way I see it this kind of global threat has been unprecedented since ww2 and I am also of the belief ww2 did a lot for world peace. We are indeed lucky it's not been more serious. I am not pertaining to know the future and I do adm

I did think of that before I posted. I think though long term (once we are out of this) we will now take threats to humanity much more seriously. I can only speak for myself: Personally I've always seen myself as an observer to humanit

Can we give it to the coronavirus instead? I feel like a reminder of the human races mortality is just what world peace needed.

Cheers, I now understand why it's not such a clear case. I fear I may have many more harder to answer questions now though - Thanks none the less!

Objects far apart may be traveling faster than the speed of light but once the universe reaches equilibrium won't there be intermediate masses that gravity will be able to travel through? I was also under the impression that an expansi

They're both variations on information theory.

You're right of course but I find the cyclic version so much more intuitive. The force from the big bang was imparted in an instant yet gravity is a constant force. IANAP but surely at some point the accumulative force of billions&#x2

Would we not be able to infer their existence by finding a white hole? I do see how calling that a detection could be a stretch.

I'm not sure we can make this conclusion. Certainly the effect you're mentioning does extreme damage but it is localised. Acidification is nowhere near as localised, therefore whilst it doesn't affect individual areas as stro

The closest flag I could find in the ten minutes of Google searching I could allot is the flag of the kingdom of Württemberg (1805 - 1918). It's just missing the yellow circle. Coincidentally the coat of arms involves a yellow oval and

That's absolutely not what I said. Catastrophic for 2100 is not the same as catastrophic climate change. Catastrophic climate change is much worse than even the worst case scenarios for the change between now and 2100. What I was sayin

We don't need to block all of it or anywhere near. We have hundreds of years to do this, why wouldn't we make them in space? If you read my comment you would realise I didn't say we could use it to address climate change but

It's hyperbole not alarmism and are you kidding? The ocean is currently acidifying at a rate 100x anything in the last 20 million years. Oceanography may be a relatively young science but we certainly know this kind of change is outsid

The best way to get the data would be to measure how much energy the planet absorbs vs how much it emits. The earth just wants to be in equilibrium so if these amounts aren't equal the climate is changing and the difference can tell yo

As far as many marine organisms are concerned we are doing just that though. I said it for effect and I stand by its use. The way I see it when talking about our oceans they are systems rather than a liquid. The system has a preferred pH ra

Ocean acidification involves a shift towards pH-neutral conditions rather than a transition to acidic conditions.

The way I see it climate change could be awful but it's never going to be catastrophic as long as we're alive. All we have to do is send up hella reflectors to block the sun and we can be cool again. The real risk IMO is making th

Do the ends justify the means? The way I see it Apple will be rightfully scrutinised but only because a giant corporation used propoganda on its users. The lowest common denominator: "they're stopping you playing the game!!!"

Why not also tropical rainforest? (I'm assuming you're saying we are meant to live how we did at our inception) IMO using the word meant implies a purpose and I don't think there is one here.

This is so non esoteric. I can't remember who said it but I'm reminded of the old saying: "if you can't explain something to a high school student then you don't understand it". You certainly understand it and

Yes this is one line of thinking. However integrated air defence systems (IADS) have not shown themselves to be effective so far. We've only really seen Russian systems in action and they've mostly failed, however it's very e

There's no excuse for killing civilians in war but there's a definite difference between doing that and putting people in concentration camps because of their religion.

Airplanes are so expensive and non survivable these days that IMO the next war will be a massive air battle with whoever loses unable to replenish and therefore forced to surrender or be picked apart from the air or escalate. America curren

So Russia could well be supporting the opposition (who I imagine will become closer to the EU if in power) so they then have a reason for Russia to take Belarus?
