do those orbits get larger over time?

Yes, I think they do.

I think that expansion doesn’t increase distance, but velocity between objects (or so was my interpretation back when I looked at the formulas). That means that moving objects speed up over time. As such, orbital velocities increase, too, and that lifts their orbit - similar to when a rocket on a closed orbit propulses forward.

But I might be wrong; I feel 70% certain about this one.

Here in Vienna there’s a very good one (ironically called Berlin Döner) that is 5€.

That is actually precisely what the “paradox of the cock” is saying.

A rooster crows every morning. They observe this and conclude that statistically, they can’t die. Which is bullshit, ofc.

are there absolute numbers? it would be interesting to know how big is the deviation.

good question. my bet is aluminum production would go up, because it’s frankly a nice material to work with, has excellent properties in many fields, and if electricity becomes cheap/clean, then there’s nothing stopping the aluminum world-domination.

I think it’s areas.

Actually, that’s a good thing, because if some extraordinary event happens, like a gigantic volcano eruption, we want to have food to spare.

Why not build them at the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point?

I don’t know why I just read “UNIX” in a french accent.

I do wonder why people buy smart TVs instead of getting regular displays together with a Linux PC.

yeah i know i was joking

maybe it wasn’t a good joke ^^

Open means “uben” in german so

Free Libre Open Source Software is FLUSS in german and that roughly translates to “fucking” and I think that’s beautiful.

Yeah but the babies were small, which is what matters here.

The thing with eggs is that they would probably have to be huge. I guess that the egg would maybe have to be 10x the size of the finished baby (Idk for sure though) due to inefficiencies in the food metabolism. While for chickens, that’s not a problem because the babies are small, for humans it would be difficult.

But where do we store the energy is the question. Without storage renewables aren’t that useful.

That’s probably propaganda from the oil company. They try to slow down the adoption of renewables by making it look harder than it is.

Fact is: You can start deploying renewables immediately. Every kWh that comes from solar does not come from coal, oil or gas. That is a win. Install renewables first, think about storing the excess power later. That is the best way to go!
