Asexual humans FTW!

A process called hypereutrohphication could perhaps occur, with devastating affects. The increased sunlight would increase algae and bacteria growth in ponds as would a large amount of nitrates and phosphates in the water. This is called an algae bloom. Then the algae would die eventually. There death and decay would suck the dissolved oxygen out of the water and suffocate all the oxygen dependent organisms in the lake. If this process where to continue i would think it would render most water bodies lifeless except for extremophiles.

I know, an excellent plan to destroy the world is it not? Mwahahaha.

Oh, forgot to say, but you know those mirrors they already have on the moon that they bounce lasers off? All the pics of the ones on the moon I've seen are flat. So they would need to align them just right or the laser would bounce off the wrong way. So how do they align them? I sense a conspiracy...

EDIT: Nvm, they use corner cube reflectors.

So anyone want to donate for putting mirrors on the moon? World destruction is fuuun!

I have no friends :\ Everyone I talk to can't comprehend whatever I talk about. Everyone in my area is a bit stupid IMHO. Plus all this high school stuff is annoying. And me liking DnD might cause them to reject me as well. But I don't really care. Oh, and underaged drinking isn't really my thang.

Time is just another dimension. It's just one that we perceive as different. Like I was saying, it's easier to visualize with 2 spatial dimensions. Imagine a 2D plane in 1 state. Time is stopped. It's like a photograph of the entire 2D universe, so to speak.

Then stacked directly above that is another "snapshot" of that same 2D universe, except ever so minutely different. These "stacks" of 2D universes are basically "snapshots" of every possible state that timeline of that universe will go through. The beings in the 2D universe can't perceive the next "snapshot". Hm... It's a bit half baked, but I don't have the non-laziness required to smooth out the wrinkles. But it would be exactly the same thing except in 3 spatial dimensions for us.

I believe that when cloned the clone will become eventually different because the events that happen to you or it, will make it change or you could change.

Uh, don't mean to sound rude, but that's kinda obvious. Not to mention the clone will not be a perfect replica of you in the beginning anyway. I would put an emoticon here to show that I'm not saying this in a hostile way, but none of them are appropriate. :\

The me that is made into an android, and his first officer will be the cyborg real me.

It might become easier to think of if you imagine a 2 spatial dimensional universe instead of 3.

Also, not really a valid point or anything, but about test with the two atomic clocks, maybe the moving one being behind the other one is a result of lag and poor lag correction measures? That's assuming this is all a simulation. Not a valid point, but it is kinda interesting to ponder on.

Lol. That would look really cool from earth.

Everyone knows the gravity fairies are what causes gravity.

But it's an interesting concept. Not the gravity fairies, what you were talking about.

If time was just how we viewed the universe, and it didn't have an effect in "real" life, it wouldn't be an illusion by your definition. It would be the norm for how we interpret it.

As to the subjective nature of time, I was thinking this might be a, for lack of a better word, illusion, but not in the nature that it isn't the norm. Just that the way our brains store information it appears subjective. What I mean to say is that the "speeding up" and slowing down of time might be caused by our memory.

When we record more data on whats happening around us, usually this increased memory storage is caused by adrenaline I think it was, if you ever saw that one study on rats where the one that was injected with adrenaline could remember it's way through a maze better.

But anyway, the increased data storage might make us, when we think back on the moment, think that time was going slower, when in actuality it just had a higher data storage per second ratio. Or something like that.

I should probably arrange this speculation so it's a bit easier to understand, but I'm too lazy for something like that.

EDIT: There, I spaced it out a bit.

My IQ is 129 last I took a test. I'm pretty frequently depressed, because of humans mostly, and how foolish they are in most things. And kinda depressed sometimes about the futility of life. I suppose I could make myself happy if I wanted to, but seems kinda cheap to brainwash myself into being happy.

Clone me next. Make around 300 million of me. That should be enough for my own private army

Powder would be a lot easier to transport and set up. I also suck at math.

Hm... I doubt the reflected light from us would have that much of an effect. But it would be very interesting to try. If, you know, it was feasible.

 

If you clone an entire human being, the question becomes: is that a human in the ethical/legal sense, or is it a piece of property? If you know anything about history, you know how people have been treated as property, from indentured servitude to Roman slavery to serfdom to American enslavement of Indians and blacks. Do you really think people will have no objection to making a new group of slaves?

If people do start cloning, and it isn't legal to completely clone someone then harvest from them, the question then becomes when in the cloning process would they be considered human and when would they just be considered a hunk of meat, so to speak. Would they get their rights only if they are completely cloned? Only after they wake up? Ethics are too subject to change to limit such things, me thinks.

Not just for purposes of annoyance, but to destabilize Earth's ecosystem. The increased duration of sunlight would affect plant life, causing it to grow faster, especially plankton which could cause an over abundance of it, causing increased methane from it, resulting in global warming. Or not. But it seems pretty interesting to me, and if we didn't, you know, live on earth it would be interesting to do.

I couldn't decide where to put this, but I guess this would probably be best. But anyway, on to the question.

I was pondering on what effects putting mirrors on the entire face of the visible moon would have on the environment. I frequently wonder about stuff like this. I've already come to some conclusions, but I'll post them later. Also, first post, so be kind if I goofed something up.
