I don’t see why we can’t stay here. Even if some people do go off and explore / colonise space, most people will stay here. But apparently it might not be so difficult for civilisations to spread through the galaxy: https://www.quantamagazine.org/galaxy-simulations-offer-a-new-solution-to-the-fermi-paradox-20190307/

There is nothing "uncontrollable" about antimatter. It doesn't have any bizarre properties that you seem to imagine it has. We use antimatter in PET scans. Isotopes of some elements decay through the emission of positrons ( the antimatter counterpart to the electron). These positrons then mutually annihilate with the first electron they encounter, producing a couple of gamma ray photons. By giving a patient a small dose of a substance that contains one of these isotopes, they can use scanners to track it through the body by its positron emissions. What is difficult to do with antimatter is store it on Earth in any great quantities. When antimatter comes in contact with "normal" matter, they mutually annihilate each other. Since any antimatter we make is surrounded by regular matter, the trick is to keep the two apart. This is done by using "magnetic bottles" which hold the antimatter in a vacuum and use electric and magnetic fields to keep it from touching the material walls ( this in itself shows that antimatter is controllable with natural forces. Even then, we can't store it for too long. We can't produce a perfect vacuum, which means the antimatter is still going to encounter stray atoms over time and slowly be "eroded" away. The log term storage of antimatter is a technological issue and not one due to some "uncontrollable" nature of antimatter.

Mt you tube channel is tiny and about aquariums, if you want space and technology check out Isaac Arthur's Channel...

It is a lot easier to make a system with compartmentalized functions. For instance, the stomach needs to both produce and be able to withstand large amounts of acidic material. The beginning of the small intestine subsequently neutralizes this acid and then starts to digest specific types of nutrients (proteins, fats and sugars) in an order (I can't remember what is taken up where, but each place is specialized to take up specific groups of nutrients). This then allows for specific groups of bacteria to sit in those niches helping the body even further. Lastly the water is taken up in the large intestine, something you wouldn't want to do before that as it would make it a lot more difficult to take up nutrients. Thus even if you would make 1 organ capable of doing all of these tasks, it would still follow the sequential nature of the current digestive track. Food needs to first be made into pieces that are easily taken up. Every nutrient type should be taken up as efficiently as possible. Lastly water needs to be taken up. Hope that helps -Dagl

Welcome! Thinking outside the box is admirable, but first one must be familiar with what is inside the box.

There will be some minor physical manifestations. For example, if you don't do it quickly enough the person will experience a mild case of death due to immune response.

Some 'flash' memory will be retained for quite a while ( decades ); even without battery back-up. ( think USB storage sticks or SSDs )

I don't know the internals of that part but some processors have a hibernate mode where some tiny amount of energy maintains the memory, even for years on a tiny battery.

It's stored on some kind of non-volatile memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-volatile_memory e.g. Arduino has RTC module. You can read current time of real-time clock (RTC), write it, but can also read and write NVM which is on it. It's not much, just 56 bytes. (the rest (8 bytes) are used by time & date).

Well turns out it's just regular binomial expansion in disguise. But...if you only saw how I derived that from Chinese Remainder Theorem, by placing the solution sets to systems of congruences into rank-n tensors, you'd see that formula, and binomial expansion itself, in a completely different way for the rest of your life. On one hand it's embarrassing, because I should have seen immediately that I simply resulted with an equation whose determinates were all altered by (-2); yet, had you gone through what I did to get that formula, it's just not something that would have occurred to you immediately. There is so much more here than what meets the eye (or perhaps there isn't). I only only wish I could walk you all through how I obtained that formula.

Early man was essentially powerless in nature. He could hunt and forage for food, build shelter and care for a family, but he and his family were largely at the mercy of the natural elements. Having the intelligence to be dissatisfied with this situation, man began to wish for something better and to visualize beings who had power over the elements and did not have human limitations. This is the origin of Gods. Thus, early gods tended to reflect the needs of mankind: Gods of the hunt, the harvest, and of all things good in life. As mankind grew and developed into larger tribes and had territorial conflicts, the Gods of battle and war emerged-- because a warrior who could win was what mankind needed. As man recognized the limitations if death and yearned for more life, gods became immortal. When civilizations developed and mankind had a better lot in life, such as early Grecian and Roman societies, mankind yearned for pleasures that the moral standards of society tended to limit, and the immortal gods emerged that had to power to have limitless love affairs and debauchery. In simple terms, our Gods have always tended to represent the things we wish we could have in life but cannot always have due to our human limitations.

assuming he did exist isnt it a passable assumption that he lived on as a immortal (never mind how one attains immortality but its a definite theory, validated by buddha, science and even CERN) and then 400 years after his ressurection, assuming that happened too, founded islam, as per his natural tendencies (which we know well, assuming the bible is true about the supposed persona of the christ?

um..point is there can be many theories, equally acceptable about anything. My theory does not seek to refute the existing ones. I merely venture to propound upon a new possibility that the earth and the sun were created at the same time, and then in illusionary time space (the parallel dimension to existig reality, google it) the earth was granted orbit by virtue of extraeneous fundemental attributes, such as e=x wheras the suns's own energy was e=y.

I'm an armchair scientist. I have many interesting ideas on science. I wrote a book on one, well not really a book as much as a pamphlet, but it does contain interesting ideas. Would you like a copy?

One of my many theories deals with the creation of the earth. I contend it happened inside the sun as a bal of unsynchronous energy parameters relative to the suns own energy spectrum, and was consequently cast into orbit. What do you think of this idea?

Could have been, jesus was an immortal wasnt he? He could have used name of muhammed to start islam, 400 years later.

Human beings are inherently animals. At some level, we all resemble aimal species, and that is because we are all animals. And I mean literarily. Darwin was only partly correct about monkeys evolving into men. I think that happened with ALL animal species. That means every animal, elephants, cats, dogs, hyenas basset hounds, lions and octopii evolved into men and women. This is just a far fetched idea of mine, but I would like to know what you think.

No, I meant the comment you moved the thread for, the sharks overpopulating comment, was a joke. The original thread is speculation, I suppose. However dont you think observing the benefits of carbonating the undersea vs carbon dioxide emissions is sufficient backing via mainstream science? uhh no big deal i guess. Because if we didnt eat fish, the fish would overpopulate. The sharks would then eat the fish, and overpopulate too.

IQ tests are based on fallacius foundations. They take into assumption that human intelligence is based on memory and judgement rather than split second reactions to stimuli. For example, who is a genius, a guy who can solve mensa puzzle or muhammed ali (whos IQ was estimated to be 70)? I'd say Ali was the genius and here's why. Antique man, our stone age forebears, evolved to a world full of stimuli. There was no need to think much back then, merely respond to stimuli. The smart guy was the one who could climb up a tree the fastest just as the bear flashed down upon him like a lightning bolt from a clear sky. The genius scientist on the other hand would be calculating trajectories of escape, velocities of bear speed and so on and then it would be too late. Notice things like math and science require memory rather than stimulus response? From the point of evolution, human intelligence would rather be more along the lines of survival than memorising. memory probably evolved later as a seperate entity, to facilitate learning which comes down to connected blueprints of stimuls-response-survival-faliure mechanisms in a package of its own, to help see the way. But at the moment of decision making, its always split second hand eye coordination that defined the intelligent survivor back then. Thats right folks, you and I, would be in that category of bear meat.

Sure, heres the evidence. Energy exists in unision with other energy of its own parameters. Thats why water and oil dont mix. The earth is water and what created it was oil. But the earth didnt just appear from nowhere because energy cannot be created. Therefore the earth at some point was the oil in my illustratoin. So where was oil #1? Lets look at the universe around us and seek out the closest object in the solar system, capable of having been that oil. The moon is a good candidate but too small. Therefore the sun. So via a process of inductive reasoning through the most elemenary scientific precepts we arrive at the fact that the earth was created inside the sun. At one point it was part of the sun. Then when it's energy parameters went out of sync with those of the suns own Bingo, the planet earth was created.

just wrap that minute amount around a hadron and watch that hadron turn into a leapin' lizard Are you absolutely sure of that? Antimatter cannot be controlled. Which means to some extent it exists outside the boundaries of natural forces. Now light, could encounter a problem with its ceaseless c'fullness so to speak, in a vaccuum coated in antimatter.
