Climate change.

When we pass Go do we collect $200.00?

[ETL]

Some of us have completed 60+ or more orbits around planet earth, at the rate of about 66,000 miles per hour, or 18 miles per second.

[LIConFem]

No wonder I’ve been dizzy for the past 58 years...

[ETL]

[ETL]

Oops!! Make that, 60 or more orbits around the SUN, not the earth! Lol!

[Huskrrrr]

I guess the solar system will survive the internal combustion engine.

[technically right]

But if we all drive electric cars everything will be good, right.

[SuperLuminal]

Twenty (20)??
Dang! I must have lost count at 3...

Guess that means that Minkowski metric ain’t worth squat...

[ETL]

Lol! I messed up on that and said some of us have orbited the ((earth)) 60+ times.

[ETL]

ONE light-year, the *distance* light travels in a year, at its constant rate of about 186,000 miles per second, works out to about 5.9 TRILLION miles.

With that said...

Since the only observations we have collectively made has only been a few decades, none of the stated “facts” have been observed. These are only hypotheses. And this is only if you accept the hypothesis that the earth is > 100,000 yrs old. Any of these calculations can only be gotened by computer models; similar to climate change computer models. And we know how reliable they are. Convenient to obtain grant money!

Seems impossible that there aren’t a zillion OTHER ‘Solar Systems’ with life forms of some kind in our expanding Galaxy.

A good reminder of how utterly insignificant we are in, ‘The Grand Scheme of Things’ when we get all worked up over one thing or another.

Just sayin’. :)

[ETL]

I guess I agree with that, that there has to be life elsewhere in the universe. But then, who the heck knows. Maybe we are all that there is.

[Fungi]

Impossible to determine. Pure speculative nonsense.

[ETL]

Impossible to determine. Pure speculative nonsense.

Can you please explain how you came to the determination that it is impossible to determine how long it takes our solar system to orbit round the galaxy?

[Openurmind]

In reality we are a train wreck waiting to happen as we corkscrew through through the Galaxy...
