Sounds pretty gruesome. However, the concept of it seems to be ancient. The great Indian epic of Ramayana has a part that tells how they build Adam's / Rama's bridge to Sri Lanka with the "help" of monkeys: https:&

In Battlestar Galactica humanity's last defense was this big "dumb" battlestar spaceship with sparsly connected systems. Sometimes it feels like the internet (of things) is the breeding ground of the Cylons in our world.

"The Room", by Tommy Wiseau, is a movie where Chekhov's gun isn't applied. It contains lots of small happenings with no further relevance. It has lots of other issues, technically speaken. But together they make this fil

$10.000 got donated and a lot of publicity created. I think it is just good marketing. Dunno if it is worth 10k but it got on HN a few times, so it undoubtedly works. And the topic itself is super interesting!

This is similar to flying in air. I suppose when your craft is big (or long) enough you could leverage differences in luminous flux (or intensity?) to generate some thrust. The differences will be tiny and the necessary craft size big. One
