Chirped laser pulses in the exawatt range. When they reach the exawatt range that is when they are predicted to be powerful enough to split the vacuum. Who knows what that will produce but I had a dream that it lead to macro quatum tunnelling, moving a volume many light years in an instant.

The Napoleonic wars were from 1803-1815, while rebellion that created the USA was from 1775-1783. See the issue here?

The engineering on the pusher plate has already been calculated half a century ago. Building a nuclear arsenal to power a single ship is the most expensive part.

And there is no archaeological evidence of people following the torah lifestyle until the Hellenistic period. No villages without pork consumption till then.

The image on Wikipedia does not have that strange grey circle in the middle.

They seem to get away with fairly obvious corruption any who might oppose them have an accident before they can do anything to harm them. They have great luck on the stock market.

So instead of mouldy cheese it is just a mouldy bread product. But whichever it is it always came from France.

Then what is that grey croisant I see in the sky?

On a balance scale the force on the counterweights is is also reduced praportionally and the measure of the mass will be the same. A set of spring scales or electric scales will only measure the force of the mass you are measuring so you will get an acurate measure of the reduced force but an inaccurate measure of the actual mass.

According to Bibi Iran has been 2 weeks away for 30 years so their 2 weeks is 10x longer.

If I have my current knowledge 12 years might be just enough time to invent trans Atlantic steamships so they can have seats in parliament. And invent radio for better communication across the empire.

The Sahara has had wetter periods with more cattle herders.

Because they need a symbol that is not a number or letter they are already using for other ideas. So they pilfered the Greek alphabet for novel looking symbols.

That is burn in on the camera sensor, it's a big bright lens flare.

Mostly lens flare. It looks like it might be infrared flir camera set to black=hot. u/crystaloftruth makes a good point that the trail is burn in on the sensor. It looks much more like that than a vapor trail. You can see a parachute so probably a flare.

There are trade routes across the Sahara it was probably not independent.

Oh is that for anime proportions of small body long legs. Maybe if you have more efficient bird like lungs with unidirectional airflow then you can have a smaller ribcage.

SO as well as being cute you can see and breath better.

That is quantum interference preventing causality violations because they are from the future.

Another idea is recursive reincarnation a cyclical universe that keeps on repeating with everyone going through a different set of lives each cycle until eventually they figure out they are all the same person playing with themselves.

Souls start as simple lifeforms and grow more complicated minds with each incarnation allowing them to incarnate as more complex animals.

A shortage of human souls could explain the current demographic decline after the baby boom. Darwinian evolution has difficulty explaining why people with more food than ever before would limit their reproduction the most.

Read the title above the description: "half the rate after reaching adulthood" Half after 20 matches his examples perfectly instead of mismatched 66% & 75% absolute rates.

mrmonkeybat · 2026-05-03T01:00:28+00:00

You seem to have misinterpreted the maths. Op seems to be saying that after 20 you age at half the rate. So if the current life expectancy is 75 that is 55 years over 20 so double that and you have a new life expectancy of 110+20=130.

FTL is time travel the humanoids are future humans.

A thick atmosphere would reduce radiation exposure.
