What If We Could Build an Alderson Disk?

Ғылым және технология

This is not some DVD floating in space. It's a megastructure that might one day become humanity's home. The Earth might not remain habitable forever. It could get engulfed by a massive solar flare, or become too hot due to climate change, or have all its life wiped out by one enormous asteroid. What if I told you we could outlive all these disasters? And that we could do that by building a space megastructure bigger than the Sun itself?
Just how big would we have to make it? And what would life be like on a structure like that?

    I'm almost convinced that intelligent life is a weird phenomena that starts only on very few planets like Earth in the universe because of a series of extremely improbable coincidences. But it will also be a fleeting one as soon enough all life will become extinct because of an asteroid or comet attack or any other extinction level event. Perhaps, several million years later, life will again evolve somewhere only to be wiped out again. This has probably happened many times in the past and will again happen in the future.

It tells of multiple different side effects and multiple different views of the same event told several different ways. It begins in Revelation chapter 8 and goes to the beginning of chapter 9. Here are just a few verses from it: "...something like a huge mountain, entirely ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water- the name of the star is Wormwood. a A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

    The short lived Ultraverse line of comics published by Malibu Comics in the nineties, had an Alderson Disk called The Godwheel as one of its settings. Marvel Comics bought Malibu in the late '90s and basically dismantled it. The characters and settings are still presumably owned by Marvel/Disney, but they haven't done anything with then in more than two decades and I doubt they are going to ever use them again.

    Hi!! I really like your videos. I would really love to watch videos on these topics. 1. What if dark matter and dark energy were not there? 2.What if time started moving backwards? 3.What if we grew from old to infant? 4.What if all planets moved counter clockwise? Or every planet moved clockwise? 5. What if earth captured the passing asteroid or comet in its gravity and caught another natural satellite? Will it affect the tides on earth? If it's a asteroid, could we find information about formation of solar system? 6.What if future generations came in today's world to change the past? 7.What if every planet had life possible?How would this affect evolution of species on earth? 8.What if every planet was in their star's goldilocks zone? 9. What if diamonds rained on earth? How would it affect the life on earth? 10. What if galaxy inside a galaxy was possible? 11.What if all the planets were living creatures? 12. What if our dreams could become reality? 13. What if our nose really got larger by telling lies? 14. What if there was more freshwater than ocean water on earth? 15.What if cartoon characters become a reality ? 16. What if everyone had the same IQ? 17.What if Oort's cloud was present in the earth's orbit or earth was located in Oort's cloud? 18.What if no-one could see colours i.e. everyone was color blind? 19.What if earth was located in asteroid belt? 20.What if we sent robots on intergalaxy missions to unwind the uncertainties of space ? 21.What if we could invent a drawing pencil whose drawings could become real? 22.What if we never fell ill? 23. What if intelligent species on other planets discovered us? 24. What if earth had multiple moons? How will it effect the tides and revolution of earth? 25. What if sound travelled through vaccum and light did not? We would never get sunlight and we could hear astronauts talk on moon through recording. 26. What if universe expanded at a higher rate? Would gravity and other forces be affected? 27. What if every country in the world had the same currency? 28. What if everyone had equal rights in all countries ? Our planet would really become a heaven if corruption was also not there. 29. What if all natural resources were renewable? 30. What if supernova radiation encounter earth? 31. What if sun had variable magnitude from earth equal to that of omicron ceti( Mira)? 32.What if all people on earth were 2 times smaller? 33. What if you were swallowed by Godzilla? 34. What if we found a parallel universe in the dark matter? 35. What if there was no pollution? 36. What if we never evolved into humans?or stayed in the half monkey half human state? 37. What if we could see infrared rays? 38. What if we discovered sun's twin star?( Like beyond the heliopause or heliosphere coz sun's gravity influence is till Oort's cloud) 39. What if Eratosthenes never existed? 40. What if Thea didn't collide with earth during its formation? 41. What if antimatter and matter exchange their places? 42. What if a runaway star encounter our solar system? Would it disturb orbit of all planets? 43. What if we no longer needed food? 44. What if kuiper belt didn't exist? 45. What if we were half human half dinosaur? 46. What if we lost our ability to think suddenly? 47. What if a blazar was located near the earth? 48. What if northern and southern celestial spheres exchanged their places i.e stars visible in northern hemisphere could be visible in southern hemisphere and vice versa? 49. What if neutron star and magnetar entered in binary relationship?(I have studied about binary stars eating up the mass from one another, would it be implied in this situation?) 50. What if we created antimatter? 51. What if proxima centauri was 2x closer to solar system? 52. What if strangelets encounter us?(strangelets are hypothetical strange matter particles produced when two neutron stars collide) 53. What if we bring spoonful of black hole to earth? 54. What if we orbited a black hole? 55. What if we could transform ourselves at our will? 56. What if we all were actually characters of comic world? 57. What if we discovered every species of plant and animal on earth? 58. What if life on earth evolves when universe was less than 10 billion yrs old( maybe we would see ancestors of galaxies and also a much younger sun) 59. What if shape of every planet in the universe was in the shape of donut and from the mass from which many planets are to be formed, combined into one large planet around star in shape of donut? Also a video about Methuselah (star whose age is determined to be even older than universe's calculated age due to an error even we don't know) would be interesting

    3:50 making the sun bob up and down like that is highly impractical and potentially dangerous, just imagine the constant tidal forces on the inner rim of the disc. It makes much more sense to keep the sun where it is and use a system of mirrors and shades to bounce light towards the surface while maintaining a relatively natural day/night cycle.

    Trump has ripped down and rebuilt about 100 miles of wall after billions spent and years. As of writing this Sept 5th 2020, there's 5 miles of wall where there wasn't before. If he wins election, there's plans for about 400 miles (out of a couple thousand). Very little of it would be where there was no wall before. It's a propaganda icon, an expensive political scam, and that's pretty much it's purpose, far more so than "security" or whatever.

    I really can't imagine that civilization that could build such a thing would consider rogue asteroid or a planet speeding their way as any sort of danger. If anything, it would be good news because instead of hauling raw materials towards the disc, the raw materials decided to deliver themselves for a change.

    We could have one between stars like Alpha Centauri. We could have first, at least two (Elysium) Stanford torus structures called: New Liechtenstein and Piedmont. Help to create bases on the moon and to colonise other planets.
