Newton was wrong about that. Only human. Our Satellites can require that their clocks be corrected due to a different amount of time passing for them than for us. It isn't intuitive, but our intuition is impacted by the environment we're used to. Anyways your question was about the size of the Universe. Is there anything else in regards?

Think this explains it better than I can: https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~rwest/wikispeedia/wpcd/wp/m/Metric_expansion_of_space.htm My attempt... Where gravity is really really really weak(well outside any galaxy) you can end up with spacial expansion. Distance between what could be considered otherwise stationary points on a graph, ends up growing. Photons of light take longer to reach us from these areas and well have traveled further as a result.

Yeah we're essentially waiting for the light itself to reach us, so can only see out so far. With spacial expansion though this value is a bit more than c*t might strictly suggest.

Doesn't have to, but Groups or individuals will often challenge some bit of legislation. They're all elected or appointed by someone elected though.

Definitely.

They can't. Their next scheduled general election isn't until 2025. The ruling party(Tories) have been using the media to great effect for awhile though. Largely demonizing opponents and blaming others for the effects of their own extreme laissez-faire economic and social policies.

'Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.' ...and considering how even many Russian notables suffer mysterious accidents, perhaps one wouldn't be serving all that long either.

Ultimately going to be rooted in culture. Often see a version of the modern or historical British political system in works by British authors for the same reason. Niven does have a number of works outside of or only tangentially related to the Man-Kzin War series. Thought Ringworld series was particularly good alongside Integral Trees. The larger conflict is often simply a backdrop for the interspecies or human interactions.

That would be past the Event Horizon. My understanding is that our dimensions would swap. Time for Space. If memory serves, The Universe and Dr. Einstein gives a pretty good overview: https://www.amazon.com/Universe-Dr-Einstein-Lincoln-Barnett/dp/0486445194 I like to visualize the dimension of time as a road we're traveling along. We're stuck traveling along it so as a result we observe time as always advancing(odometer ticking up). Not necessarily the same as what time itself is doing.

Thought I'd post these up. Pretty cool the images it can create for you. Tried to push it to see something that it couldn't have existing images of to see what it could come up with(Modern day Atlantis, Alien, Futuristic, Most Popular X in Year 3000). In some case it would incorporate an interpretation of the text prompt too. ie. Futuristic Bible, Alien School, Alien Religious Service which thought was interesting too.

Same.

Yeah hoping to see it. Like seeing the NASA launches.

Even skilled positions are underpaid. In our own history, trying to fight against migrant waves has never really worked. We certainly don't have it all figured out either though.

Would you sign such a contract knowing your pay isn't likely to keep up with the cost of living? Just a statement of facts. Rwanda: 120 million for 200 migrants Oneweb: 500 million Marble Arch Mound: A low 6 million The UK seems pretty well off.

Sometimes the work being done is so vital that you simply have to pay. Society comes to a stop otherwise. Raising wages also need not mean raising taxes necessarily. Lot of UK's tax revenue is being spent on extravagant projects.

@Sensei Not a really free market situation. These are mostly government funded jobs with wages/QOL below where they should be(about half).

Not necessarily. If you have a Monospony you can supress wages. https://www.economicshelp.org/labour-markets/monopsony/

Lot of overlap with others Island of the Blue Dolphins, Brave New world, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Good Earth, Siddhartha, Of Mice and Men, The Garden of forking Paths, The Awakening, Lord of the Flies, The Great Gatsby, Animal Farm, 1984, Night Science fiction and Fantasy recreationally.

I guess I can't see why one sufficiently advanced wouldn't be capable of empathy. It will have various material needs and immaterial goals as well. Many of the programs may be too simple though. My cat isn't particularly empathetic. Many programs are more likely to be at that level.

There's just limits on what the Invisible hand can do and how fast it can do it. It will push back against bad policy and bad businesses, but this isn't an instant process. Often as not it may not decide against you too. Shouldn't imagine unregulated markets make everything peachy. It's goal is efficiency, not necessarily you eating. On AI, I think it's starting to happen though mainly via businesses. They can act just as illogical at times so I'm not sure how it will go longterm. At least in theory a wholly planned economy can work as well as one more free market based.

More genetic diversity is really a good thing. Shows that we're starting to recover from the genetic bottlenecks that we've been through as a species. Who knows what mutations might be required in the future?

Evolution only deals with the selective pressures and not how how life began(probably crystal basis though IMO). A self replicating element is the minimum requirement for evolution to act upon. For me, the main thing is that DNA is all spaghetti code. This either suggests an incompetent designer or a lack of a designer. Other big one is our own mitochondria. They have their own seperate DNA and we share these with wildly different species. There's also all kinds of what would be considered stupid design decisions if we were designed. The Giraffe's nerve running all the way down and back it's neck is a good example. Ditto the wasteful making and unmaking that the cells do or the good/bad mutation in our DNA replication that causes telomere shortening. Either deity is not very good at it and therefore not especially worthy of worship, nonexistent, or is purely limited to setting up the laws of physics. I think people should come to their own decisions in regards however.

May be better to do carbon capture/sequestration shoreside and offset CO2 released that way. If it can be scaled up Solid-State Hydrogen Storage may work too.

I was thinking as a byproduct of O2 production for submarines. Would be pretty niche use case though.

Definitely aids in clarity to add subscript when dealing with different bases.
