    Rewind only a couple thousand years ago, we were all a foot shorter and about 30% dumber. Be rather different again in another couple thousand

    At most our species is 400,000 years old, we will morph into something completely different within half that time

    Probably closer to 500 generations. An awfully misleading title, not sure how that gets through the final draft.

    If we as a species would continue to evolve in such a degree as we did in the past. Which is uncertain. Our combined knowledge and technological and scientific advancements on the other hand: does seem to keep accelerating. Very hopeful in regards to space exploration.

    That's how we got on that subject ;)
     
  6. Then you get the climate change rallies.
    Then you get the aftermath.

    ^a quick google search of the first image
    says this was a garbage dump filled with bags meant to look like bales of hay (for some reason) and then during the fires the bags burst open. Has nothing to do with climate change protests so why spread falsehoods?

    And the second picture was after college students moved home for the summer and threw out all their stuff

    Google is hard

  9. Both pictures are relevant. People needing to clean up after themselves is what my point is.
    Filthy scumbags everywhere.

    Someone else posted that in another thread

    The planet in TOI700 they are talking about revolves around it's sun every 37 days, that sun being 40% the size of ours, and it is tidally locked, one side always faces the sun

    They have no idea whether it's actually earth like apart from the circumference of its orbit

    They just make shit up about it being earth like to justify their funding. TESS isn't powerful enough to find shit. And the media of course just swallows that whole

    In other news Greta took a swipe at Rodger Federer for being sponsored by Credit Suisse


    Which is kind of the wrong way to go, she has to pick her battles, picking on the world's nicest sport star isn't top priority

    A teenage intern at NASA discovered another planet (one that circles 2 suns like the fictional Tatooine), on his third day of said internship! Damn, that must feel cool :)

    Dude is only 17, interned last summer at 16 years old on the Goldilocks zone project

    Talk about making it already

    Sitting down with your 16 yr old kid, So son, any thoughts about what you are going to do this summer?

    Meh, I don't know, think I might go work for NASA

    It's probably just a simulation planet.

    The 'photo' is an artistic impression, I'm sure ;)

    Not a doubt in my mind. :p
    It's just mythology at the moment, isn't it? ;)

    No, this astrology doesn't come from the sumerians.
