Quick contact Al Gore, he’ll have a solution for this coming disaster.
What possible useful information is gained from looking at little dots of light in space that humans will NEVER be able to travel to? What good is knowing the life cycle of a star? /rant
It’s about time!
Knowledge
You got something against it?
Traveling to the moon gave us so many technologies we use today it is unbelievable. We got at least 10 times the value back.
Looking at stars may not get you there, but the engineers who build the optics or radio telescopes learn new ways to do things.
The transistor was the result of pure research. Many many things come just because you ask ‘why’?
There has to be a reason to increases taxes because of this.
Hmmmmm ..?? 30 million years .. that means this earth will not be here anymore, and we’ll have a new heaven and a new earth .. so what ..?????
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIEEEEEEE!
Film at 11.
All the research and money that goes into cosmic naval gazing could be spent on cancer research, /rant
That leak in CA is worse than I thought.
We’re DOOMED!
He who denied it supplied it.
He who articulated it particulated it.
You some kind of muslim living in the dark ages?
Staying on the Moon would have yielded a thousand-fold the value.
That doesn’t answer my question. I am asking for help.
That has nothing to do with my question. I approve of travel(attempting) in our solar system because it spurs technology. I get that. But the stars are inaccessible, always will be so if you know anything about physics, and what technological break thru will studying balls of spinning plasma light years from earth yield?
If we start raising taxes now, we can avert this terrible tragedy
“... if you know anything about physics ...”
We assume that you must know all there is to know about how the universe operates and therefore everything that is not known today will not be known tomorrow?
We have to assume you have delved deeply into the reasons why Oliver Heaviside discarded 196 field equations put forth by James Clark Maxwell, choosing only 4 which he changed into vector equations and from which EVERYTHING we know about the entire electromagnetic spectrum comes from. Einstein said that without Maxwell he would never have been able to do what he did.
And from that research into the discarded 196 field equations you have concluded that, like Heaviside, they are abominations and that is the end of it and that there is absolutely no other way to go from one place to another other than what is already known and for which there is consensus?
Is this anthropogenic? We need a study. I will need a grant
