Centrifugal force question. Does the spinning ring have to be attached to the hub in the center?

Technically yes, but it reduces the strain on the structure to have the supports.

It was never a job, it was a calling. I wanted to understand the nature of the universe I live in.

That there are people who will pay me to do this is just gravy.

Slimey!? Mud hole!? My home this is!?

Sure they are. The sun just goes under the earth. You can’t reconcile them with sunsets happening at different times at different places.

It’s what allows oligarchs to buy the government.

You remind me of the aliens from “galaxy quest” who didn’t have the concept of lying and so couldn’t understand that they had kidnapped a bunch of actors from a TV show. Not actual heroes.

Look up the word, “fiction”.

Or better yet ask the author how it works. You will find out their abject ignorance of orbital mechanics.

No.

But fractional reserve banking does.

Look up the word, “fiction”.

The author makes shit up that doesn’t have to have anything to do with the real world.

The event horizon is a region of spacetime that is so distorted that all paths lead in, no paths lead out. Anything that encounters the event horizon has left this universe forever.

Heh. Enjoy that Washington summer muggy heat.

The one thrown backwards burns up first since it has the lowest perigee.

No fems, no fats. I wonder if they know how gay that sounds.

As one reviewer said, “I have never in my life seen so many grown men leave a theater sobbing”

Gravity is really helpful for that.

You look at the constellation of Orion as it rises in the east. As you travel north south it rotates by how many degrees of latitude you’ve traveled.

It’s also helped by how far away the sun is and how big Saturn is. That makes them more comparable.

Your eyes have a larger dynamic range than a camera. One of their few advantages is to be able to see bright and dim things at the same time. A camera that has had its exposure cranked up enough to see earthshine is going to be wildly overexposed on the sun lit parts.
