what will your nation be like when humanity expands beyond earth?
What will your nation be like when humanity expands beyond earth?
what would happen if the ships broke down and stop spinning?
Never will happen
Really damn big
you mean like what if the hinge jams? the rest of it will start spinning since the spinning part is like 99...% of the mass
where do you think brazilians come from?
oh you are right, and the lack of frictions would allow this to keep rolling for a long time.
With such a cylindrical design you can't travel at all, it's a stationary system. if it was slightly conical then you could take a very low but mandatorily constant acceleration, but then you have to know precisely where you go because the second half of the journey will be an equaly constant deceleration. You could take (looong) corners but it's a headache, basically you can't go sightseeing the universe with that.
As irrelevant as ever.
probably raked into space
the design is meant to be a habitat not an accelerating thing just like modern cities dont move much. oniells have station keeping thrusters but not much more.
if you want to travel its more economic to take something with a lot less mass
realistically not happening
I don't think humanity can go extinct given how much sentience dominates every other animal but civilization will definitely collapse when fossil fuel and advanced resources run out and we'll revert back to tribal societies until we start speciating into different species after millions of years like that and from there who wtf will happen
silliest shit ive read in a while
Never ever going to happen.
I think it makes sense
my nation will regress to a tribal 4th world hell as china ascends to the stars
china is 4th world as we speak while usa is pic related
doesnt matter because of the right's refusal to switch to renewable energy (read: big oil selling out humanity so they can make a profit). everything will collapse when fossil fuels run out. is right
Our efforts will be focused on wiping out the Earthnoids.
where do you think brazilians come from?
Azathoth's children, it's true.
The entirety of the cosmos is our birth right
'renewable energy' is a myth that has never been seriously attempted by anyone
oil works and is based
as expected of america's handler
the oil is going to run out and society will regress to tribal gangs surviving off the scraps of a once great civilization
china is the only nation actually preparing for this & other coming crises like the inevitable birthrate collapse. china shall inherit the earth, i can only hope they make the deaths of the tribals of the future swift and painless
nigga if you wanna undertake a century long journey to the stars oil isn't gonna take you there
that shit will be gone by the end of the century
and yes renewable energy does work on its own that's why everything will collapse
*does not work
you mean like an interstellar spacecraft? i didnt say you want to power those with oil dont be silly.
uranium, or some kind of fission-fusion rocket
but without oil how are you gonna even build the thing
how will you build an interstellar spacecraft? well the machines that build it will be powered by uranium 235 and photovoltaics (assuming you assemble it in orbit)
lil bro get real
not gonna happen when the majority of the world population will be indians and africans by the end of the century
dont forget m*slims
collapse when fossil fuel and advanced resources run out
that will never happen
included within the african demographic
I think the world will undergo a great reset afterwards where everyone will look like brazilian gypsies
lol
they said coal was going to run out back in the indrustrial revolution. 200 years later we are using more coal than ever, and we are not even close to deplete it. we are going to move away from coal way before this run out.
the same will happen with every other resource
oil is obviously being depleted the oil companies aren't even hiding it either
nuclear power has better chances of lasting but even then it will run out after a couple thousand years
Chud
we have discovered shale oil reserves in the last years that will last for decades . and oil companies are developing offshore platforms to get oil and gas from ever deeper sea floor.
and the same goes for metals, we have only mined those reserves on the surface (30% of the earth), there still 70% of the planet crust untouched.
ah yes, i cant wait to be reincarnated as a 5 year old indian near-mantle miner in the glorious future of 2325
I've read Carter's supposed letter they sent in those probe, in the '70s.
They knew we're fucked since then, hence why an emphasis on everything being a “simulation”.
If advanced/utopian extraterrestrials exist, they would've made themselves known by now.
???
Your former POTUS that died recently.
i know who carter is i was talking about everything else
You might want to sit this one down and prepare your antidepressants.
that 5 year old Indian will probably have a much better life than many 5 year old Indians today.
Wind/solar only is not a realistic solution. You know this, but you're fine with rolling brownouts. Most people aren't.
oops dropped my space colony
