That article brought up some more Great Filters that I hadn't thought of before.
A counter (which I'm not sure what to think about): we would still see the old technology of advancing...
Great read.
Thanks. Found this:

Seems like the...
What's the scoop on older generation stars? What I'm getting at is that AFAIK over the life of the universe, there have been different generations of stars. Like, say, the stars that popped up 10bn...

You mean like my biceps?
Even though this isn't your domain, it's still good information. Thanks.
Do you have insight on how dense silicon transistors can get?
I know TSMC has 2nm in the works, and I've heard that 1nm *could* be the theoretical limit. They say the problem is quantum tunneling...
Hey Monkey,
When do you think all our computer stuff will be based on something other than silicon?
What do you think that material will be?
Sometimes I want to start a "Ask a Wugy an Economics Question" thread (in honor of this superb and timeless thread), yet I think that every answer would be "let's see what the supply and demand model...
You think the hypothesis is likely wrong?
It is my understanding that the threat of nuclear winter comes from burning of material after detonation such that a funnel is created such that smoke and debris reaches the stratosphere, where it...
See, I was totally gonna ask about this, but I thought that the answer would be too dependent on things.
Is there some rule of thumb for how quickly, say, a cup of boiling water cools down once...
Cool thanks.
I guess the next step is to see if I want to start brewing at the recommended 96C instead of the ~99C I've been doing.
Naw I'm pretty sure you're right. It was a confusion I had because in class it was presented as if the entire quantity had to be 100C for the phase change to begin. However, this doesn't pass the...
I asked my chemistry teacher this a while back but didn't get a clear answer. I've returned to the question a few times in my mind, but keep forgetting to ask. I've forgotten much of the chemistry...
Cold air falls!
Yep. I was looking for a scenario in which the body mass is unchanging.
Awesome, thanks.
Looks like an "ordinary" superhero feat like Cap jumping out of a plane and tanking the landing would require ~50x body weight in squat. Given that peak athletes do around 3x...
How would you find a rough estimate of what his muscle strength needs to be? Something like calculating the force at which he would hit the ground, which would be approximately the same weight he...
Well, that's why you have to make him super human. How much would his muscular strength have to increase to keep from crumbling to the ground as his legs try to break the fall? How dense/strong...
I assumed terminal velocity depended on mass alone, no air resistance. So basically I'm thinking of a guy just bolting straight down from the sky like any good superhero should.
Then it would be...
Square hit. No hitting the branches at the right angles tomfoolery.
man that video is craze
