If space works as a balloon then the growth happens in all the volume of the universe (not just on the “boundary”). Is that how it works? Doesn’t that imply that we are getting “bigger”?

Blindsight by Peter Watts is a fiction novel with pretty interesting ideas on consciousness. In the book, consciousness is presented as a error during evolution, with no added value for species to survive. I find that idea quite disturbing

I agree. Check this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel

Indeed. Some people believe these “unshielded” periods might had some influence on the evolution of the species. Without those, the rate of change is just not enough to get to humans...

Its mainly scientific. Plate tectonics theory was born by looking at the ocean floor. During second world war, in the Atlantic, there was huge effort by both parties to obtain good quality maps of the ocean floor. This was to drive/com

1) Porosity is the ratio of the volume of openings (voids) to the total volume of material. Porosity represents the storage capacity of the geologic material. On the other hand, permeability is a measure of the ease with which fluids will f

"Lunar meteor showers have turned out to be more common than anyone expected" what does that mean? Is there more stuff flying through space than we thought? Does this have some consequence in the odds of hitting something in space?

Because the rocks extruded in a volcano suffer a lot of changes during its way up. Moreover, a mantle rock is composed by many different minerals. When temperature goes up, some minerals melt first. So, you expect the extruded magmas to be

The mantle is solid rock. In some special environments (mid-oceanic ridges, subduction zones, etc) you can expect to have some percentage of melted mantle rocks, but this is not the general case. We know that the mantle is solid because it
