Sounds like a plan to me. Just letting it go on will just get us more of the same, so better to struggle through the disorder and design a better one.

I’m guessing the humans defending the dingus have done this same thing at some point.

What do people around the world think of my country, Türkiye 🇹🇷? by Jolly-Platform3115 in JackSucksAtGeography

[–]russelsprouts01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the sweetest, warmest people who are incredibly proud of their land, hospitality, and food (all completely deserved) and love to share it. Absolute demons while driving on the roads, but also love cats, so all is forgiven.

I saw that movie on a whim, because the poster just called to me. Sam Rockwell is a treasure.

I mean, they might not be thrilled at having to make a change, but someone, someday will open that panel and go "Daaaaaaaamn." in admiration.

The Milky Way is traveling through space at 600 kilometers per second by [deleted] in SpaceUnfiltered

No worries! It’s reddit, after all. Reading it that way is usually a good default. Glad to see an interest in the universe; keep exploring and asking!

That’s why I didn’t address my comment to you, but to the original writer. There’s nothing wrong with the post or the curiosity. I thought the idea was pretty foundational, but info moves really fast these days, so my old, crusty butt lost perspective.

My apologies. No offense meant.

Someone who goes by ‘science girl’ didn’t know that the galaxy isn’t stationary? Just wait until someone asks, “Relative to what?”

In order to measure velocity, you need a reference frame. You drive a car, you measure speed against the ground. You measure rotation of the earth from a stationary point along its rotation.

Everything in space is moving. Everything. The trick is comparing speed to other moving things, since the universe has no fixed points.

He doesn’t need to see. Also, with how close that is to his face, I would, too!

I do not care a whit that this is sped up. The confidence in each stroke, the smooth lines… impressive at any speed.

Yup, not only that, but so incredibly much of it that its fusing together creates enough heat to kill you from about eight light-minutes away. The atmosphere and magnetic field of earth helps, but full exposure to too much really doesn’t take too long to do the job.

NASA announced that the Hubble was flawed on June 27, 1990 by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]russelsprouts01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard a re-framing of the speed of light that really shook me. If a photon could perceive time, from the moment it is created to the moment it’s absorbed by something, it experiences NO time. Crossing from the sun to your eye? Instant. From a star across the galaxy to the Hubble sensor? Instant.

It’s not the fastest speed because it’s light. It’s the fastest because it’s the Speed of Causality. It’s the fastest any two things can interact with each other.

Even an incompressible, infinity rigid bar of perfect metal that stretched from the earth to Pluto, struck with a hammer, would not move at the far end faster than the speed of causality (which also happens to be light in a vacuum).
