For Homo Sapiens, this is our big risk. But from the aspect of the Fermi Paradox, I don't think it can be a great filter. Obviously a civilization must be multi-planetary to make contact, and once it is multi-planetary it is no longe

I think the idea is that is certainly feasible for an alien civilization to go from steam power to fission in under 200 years. What makes it a "great filter" in my mind that the idea that the climate change clock might start tick

This goes in a different direction, but my thought experiment is to think about what would happen if our civilization collapsed. Assuming you had access to libraries and lots of old equipment, could you ever make a new solar cell or a wind

Certainly. I think we can point to the fossil fuel industry misdirection on greenhouse gases and the anti-nuke movement.

This is why I tend to think that the industrial revolution and technology is "the great filter" for the Fermi Paradox. Life, intelligence, agriculture, society can all occur with relatively high probability, but each planet has,

There is one way around the chicken-and-egg problem. Surface coal is mined. Coal production goes up. Mines are made a little deeper. Coal production goes up more. Land is deforested for more agriculture now that there is an alternative

There are a couple of old videos at the end. Otherwise, this whole thing reads like jiberish to the uninitiated.

I still think you are using the term anachronistically. The first commercial hybrid integrated circuit was the Type 502 Binary Flip-Flop in March 1960 which was a very different beast. The first commercial monolithic integrated circuit, a

Why do you refer to them as "hybrid" modules. Seems like a standard transistor logic circuit of the era to me.

If you are stuck, don't know much beyond a few generations and can't find the people you are looking for, DNA might be a big help. But DNA could open a can of worms, so be careful.

I second this. We only ever ate at HoJos on road trips, but the long wait for food is what I remember most. 8 hours in the car followed by an hours wait for food. I guess the consistency of the menu is what kept us coming back. Fast foo

Daniel Jassby is a tiresome crank. Always quoted in the media as the sole critic of fusion. He runs a website devoted to blowing things out of proportion. In this article, he says that SPARC and ITER will both achieve first plasma around

With high temperature superconductors, mechanical strain is in fact now the limiting factor, at least for the magnets.

The minerals in the soil have already been weathered and absorbed as much CO2 as they can. The important thing to understand is that it is only accelerating a natural process that has kept earth's temperature relatively stable for bil

The "don't recommend channel" feature works fine for me, but I have probably blocked only a few hundred channels.

Isn't phosphorus the true essential trade good? Necessary for life as we know it, but rare outside the solar system.
