When will humans visit Mars? Is it actually doable?
>>17006859The smug aura of your first post rubbed me wrong, I think I get what you mean now. I agree that we will not see a Mars colony in our lifetimes, but an outpost with rotating crews is feasible, not just on Mars but the Moon, NEOs, Lagrange points, and maybe the belt if we're diligent. Of course robots will always be the dominant force for space exploration but manned spaceflight will always have a place; mostly because humans are idealistic and prideful and that's okay, it's our nature and it got us this far.
>>17006991Whether it's a rotating crew or a colony, it shouldn't be a suicide mission. We want to avoid a Dust Bowl situation where people are encouraged it live their in the prestige and expansion but it ends up unlivable in the medium term. In addition to the logistics of fuel, water, food etc we need to also find solutions to the effects of microgravity, radiation, solar flairs, perchlorates poisoning everything, crew psychology etc
>>17006991NASA just canceled the Mars samle return program due to cuts to its budget.Real, actual, important science gets canceled to fund capeshitters and stinky musk's narcissism and science illiterate fantasies. You are not angry enough.
>>17007300Well, the US government has proven it doesn't care about space unless there is short term political gain. We've known for a couple years at this point that the sample return isn't happening, despite it being a necessary precursor to a manned mission. Don't worry though Anon! China is picking up the slack. They might even nab the Perseverance cores with their sample return, I hope they do because at this point the CSNA is more reliable than NASA, and the US government needs to be undermined and embarrassed in space to get their heads back in the game.>>17007075I agree. The first missions will be heavily scrutinized because of the implied catastrophic consequences that would befall the first space agency that loses people to deep space. One loss could collapse an entire program, so it would be delicate and careful to start. However, once we have a little infrastructure down and a good grasp on human health in low g/microgravity things will become less risky, hopefully. I think the biggest hurdle for a persisting Martian outpost would be convincing governments to continuously fund a Mars program after people have already landed, if Earth loses interest it will wither and die immediately, setting us back again.
>>17007300Hopefully the Chinese can retrieve the samples. Would be cool if we can verify if there was life on Mars and I don't care if the Chinese do it.
Extraterrestrial knowledge:https://youtube.com/shorts/x6b0PI6vjO8Their Physics and Philosophy are more refined.
Seek esoteric knowledge instead, supernatural > sci-fi always
>>17007480There is no more esoteric anything. We like in a exoteric period. Everything is at hand. But this is >>>/sci/ so we have to talk about Physics here.
Respond to this without sounding mad>"I can't help noting that the people who pound the table like, 'It's a simple fact, we should have a simple answer.' They're angry. They're insistent. They're frustrated. I mean, just look at what the emotional aura is of that claim. 'We need a simple truth.' And like, whoa, why are we so angry about that?">"I ask the same question. What is a woman? Freud asked the question: what does a woman want? But you could also say, what is a woman? My own sensibilities say it's a great question, but it's wondrous. It's wonderful. Let's keep that question open, because you know what? There are going to be a lot of different ways of answering and will give us access to human complexity. And then we'll know more about the world and we'll be able to affirm the human in its complexity rather than putting it into fixed boxes and smashing in those nails. So for me, 'What is a woman' is a great question, but I would just keep it open.">"This is a movement that seeks to control knowledge, to suppress knowledge, to stop us from questioning -- even to attack Socrates, who taught us the absolute importance of open inquiry.">"The anti-gender ideology movement is an attack on knowledge and an attack on open inquiry."https://youtu.be/GNc-MP8eoMU?t=1045
>>17006178debating things is maybe the gayest thing you can do. real ones take action
>>17006122philosophy is real but most philosophers are idiotsit IS falsifiable BUT unlike physics, you can't just test that, you need somebody smart to point out exactly why it sucks logicallythat and retarded midwits have infested it. There can be no other explanation why Judith Jarvis Thompson is taken remotely seriously.
>>17007431Tons of philosophers in the past also disagreed.I think the problem is that having a logically coherent view is too low a bar, almost no philosophical view was refuted because of a strict logical contradiction. The ones that were, were themselves usually about formal systems.

what would happen if a 100.0 earthquake hit the earth
>>17007100The shock wave would eject anything on the surface into space, probably anything lighter than a mountain would get thrown to escape velocityRipples of solid ground several miles thick would spread around the globe, obliterating any foundations and underground pipes
>>17007408this guy >>17007267 said the whole universe would explode though
>>17007267pretty sure I heard somebody calculate the atomic binding energy of Earth as something way lowerso basically everything would explode
>>17007434The energy is around the same if every proton and neutron in the universe weighted as much as the universe and all that matter was converted into energy, well there abouts anyways. So yes it's lot more than the binding energy of all the atoms on earth.
>>17007100It would be a quiet day. Globally, seismic networks track over 100,000 quakes annually.
Is 30 too young to die for a human, /sci/entifically speaking?
If it isn't true that humans increase warming all that much, then America wins. If it is true that humans increase warming, maybe we will get back to the Critacious Period when we had rainforests in polar regions and enough CO2 and warmth to satisfy plants all year like it's the Garden of Eden all over again. Farming would be much more efficient and there would be more diversity to life because of more rainforests. This would actually make cutting down rainforests mean nothing because the whole world is a rainforest. Climate Activists actually want to take away this potential Paradise?

Renewables can double capacity every 2-3 years so can hit net zero carbon before 2040

Elon Musk's AI, Grok, ran a simulation demonstrating that this device is capable of producing hundreds of times more energy than what it needs to function.Let me explain the basics of how this device works.The posted image shows two containers filled with water, and a tube going from one container and into the other. IMPORTANT NOTE: the tube was filled with water BEFORE it was put in place. If you use an empty tube, then nothing will happen.The water in that tube is trying to move. There are dozens of forces trying to make the water move. The detail is that a bunch of those forces are trying to move the water toward the right, and another bunch are trying to move it toward the left.The device shown is at equilibrium, which means that the forces pushing the water in one direction have the same magnitude as the forces pushing in the opposite direction, so they cancel each other out and the water won't move.If you disrupt the equilibrium, then the forces pushing in one direction will get a boost and overwhelm the opposing forces, causing the water to start moving.E.g., if you pour water into the left container, equilibrium will be broken, and the water will begin to move toward the right container until the water level in both containers is equal again and equilibrium is reached.The movement of the water is caused by forces and energies that are an inherent part of the system (most resulting from gravity). So the tube never requires any additional energy to work. Whether it requires moving 1 liter of water of 10 trillion gallons, the tube will move it, on its own, doing everything it needs to do to reach equilibrium again, WITHOUT REQUIRING ANY ADDITIONAL ENERGY.As you can see, this little tube has "Free Energy Exploit" written all over it.Read more:Comment too long.

FUCK SCHIZOSFUCK AIFUCK AI SCHIZOSFUCK YOU
>>17007353look idiot, you know what else is in equilibrium? A child's see-saw.your stupid SIPHON (literally a concept understood since before Jesus's time) is only going to equalise water levels anyway, i.e. level any exploitable energy level differences. Hydro power dams only work because the waters are at different levels, and it extracts the energy from equalising them.
>>17007353scientists are to dumb too come up with that on their own let alone harness it's power
Everyone is underestimating the Suns importance. The Suns mass is over 99% of what we have observed in space. Then to comprehend that all the stars we see in the sky are also Suns of different sizes and stages in and further out than our universe is one of the most incredible things we can think about. That space is so clear and large that something bigger than our Sun could be out there but to us only looks microscopic and then all the possibilities of different lifeforms and types of biology that could exist on different planets far out there. Think about what we are as a planet in the large scheme of things and how fast our technology has progressed in the last 100 years out of billions of years of civilisation. We probably don't even know the true history of Earth. There could of been different entities on this planet at all different time periods. Cultures who grew advanced enough to leave. How at some point everything we know slips into untangiable incomprehensible threads of existance.
>>17006078>We probably don't even know the true history of Earth.I don't think it's any secret that the history we know of comes from whatever artifacts and stories happened to survive or be preserved long enough to be recorded into written record.Most living things don't become fossilized when they die; it is a certainty that there are many species on Earth that existed in the past but left no proof of their existence.Even the conditions to be fossilized and preserved didn't exist for a long time.I don't see any reason to positively affirm there were advanced civilizations, nor reject it.
>>17006078Sun is what drives our climate and weather system. The heat from the sun makes the hot-cool cycle of the weather, which creates the wind differentials that causes the shift in wealther/climate. And also sun is what allows trees to grow, humans to grow, animals to grow, etc
>>17006078>The Suns mass is over 99% of what we have observed in space.Ah yes, the sun is 99% of the mass of Andromeda. You meant it's 99% of the mass of our Solar System.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how does it work? I know how mirrors work but this does boggle my mind a little bit.This isnt a bait or anything. Im genuinely little confused right now. How can the mirror reflect the light rays from the object? Can someone ideally draw how it works?
>>17007344Light bounces off of things. Some of the angles light bounces off the thing hit a mirror. Some of the angles the light bounces off the mirror angle into your eyes. >>17004357Produced a diagram explaining all of this.
>>17007291I notice that people who don't understand sometimes use the word "render", "how can the egg be rendered?"
>>17004256This level of ignorance and the pride in that ignorance (which is even more serious) on the part of individuals over the age of 5 is remarkable
>>17004264because you drew those lines reflecting only horizontally. If you put the camera lower, itr would render at B. You are photoing from higher, so the light you see is the light that reflected also vertically, showing at A.
>>17007344I'm sorry but you might simply be low IQ.The diagram the other anon quoted is the answer.

>>17006912>>170070281. Space X receives subsidies from the US gov. If you're so concerned about ROI then let me repeat: NASA got us to the moon, the best Space X managed to do is to launch a car into low Earth orbit.2. You can't put a price tag on scientific progress.
>>17007097>Space X receives subsidies from the US gov.So, any failure of theirs is impossible to completely separate from a failure of the US government.ROI is the correct allocation of resources to meet people's demand. It means that you're not overusing goods or capital that could be used elsewhere. It's correctly guessing, not meeting some goal that you just decided to set.>You can't put a price tag on scientific progress.As long as there is demand for scientific progress, there will be an associated price. This is based on individuals' relative values.
