If you don't actively involve yourself in that process then it is going to be driven by people like that maniac puppy torturing doctor and his cult. So yeah, everything matters.

There was a story book I remember reading ages ago where future humans did something similar. They called it celestial sculpting. Though if I recall it was Mercury that was smashed into Venus. Ceres along with the rest of the asteroid belt and some of the smaller Jupiter moons were used to enlarge Mars. Basically all three were Earth sized by the end and Venus had it's rotation increased though it still spins in the opposite direction. Jupiter was also ignited into a star after they learned how to siphon gas giants, using up Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Enlarged versions of Titan and Ganymede were placed in a stable orbit around Jupiter. The process took millions of years and was done by Von Neuman drones using solar energy. It didn't have an ending but might have been an allegory for planning, cooperation and patience. I'm going to go nuts trying to remember the author and title. It might have been a web comic. If anyone knows it, let me know.

If that happened, it could mean the instantaneous destruction of the entire universe and all life in it. So indeed, “nothing” does matter, very much so…

Joe, regarding the dog head tilt thing... I think it was 'Smarter Every Day' that did a bit on this (He and his children were trying to find a drone stuck in a tree). It has to do with the mammalian brain's ability to detect and discern which ear a sound arrives at first, allowing for direction finding in the all important horizontal plane (tiger on my left or right). If the sound is coming from above or below (on the vertical plane) the direction isn't apparent as our ears are on the sides of our head evenly (for most of us anyway... :). If you turn your head so one ear is up and the other down, the direction (on that vertical plane) then can be discerned. :)

Gulf stream: Important aspect to pump is temperature difference between pole and equator. As arctic temperature rise difference from pole to equator decreases. This will also contribute current reduction

I think the "dark roof" comes from putting tar on roofs or tiles of slate, whose natural color is dark. If you use natural material without any coating, you get dark roofs. You have to actively painting roofs a light color, which in most cases is not done, thus your average roof is dark. And of course the Gulf Stream is a thing. Just compare the climate diagram for Rotterdam and Berlin! Both are about the same latitude (52° N), but while in Rotterdam, the low point of the average temperature is somewhere at 4°C, in Berlin, it's 0°C. This is four centigrade difference on a distance of about 650 km.

There is a Continental aspect to this too. Britain is an island and the sea buffers us from extremes of hot and cold. Rotterdam is a port on the North Sea while Berlin is hundreds of miles from the sea. I lived in Germany for a while and was amazed by how much snow they got in Berlin and Wuppertal. The Gulf Stream causes crazy things like tropical trees growing in western Scotland as well as helping our western coasts to be buffered. There has been mini ice ages in Britain. The whole snowy Christmas Card thing comes from The Thames freezing over in early Victorian times. Also, in Canada and Northern USA you have the Labrador Current. This is a cold current and contributes to a colder Winter climate on the Eastern Seaboard. That very cold snap that came down from Canada and progressed through the Middle States of the USA was another example of the Continental Effect

Almost correct It is about moisture control, (building science) we need the roofs and walls to stay dry and dark colors would dry faster prolonging the life of the building, the easiest Dark material when available was tar. asphalt. It would let out vapor but repel rain.. an ideal compromise at the time and it was and is still very cheap. Now we have better materials but we still tend towards dark colors as building are based on the old style of building dependent on moisture vapor being driven from the building materials. This also explains why we do not retrofit toward white colors as the reduced moisture drive results in rotting of the wetted surfaces. There is also a now traditional Bias to dark roofs.

This might be an attractor in the sense that if we get there, we stay there. Everyone dead is also an attractor state. Some dystopias may be attractor states. Total control by superhuman AI that really wants to do X is an attractor state for most X. Its possible that current actions can nudge which attractor we fall in. Its also possible that in a million years time, some human historian is looking through the archives and finds this comment. (huge population means many historians) Given how good data storage can get, its reasonably likely most of the modern internet is backed up all over the place by then. And there are enough historians of early 21 century history to study all of it. And given the number of historians could greatly exceed current populations.

So here is how it works. 1st it becomes cheaper for the insurance agencies while passing on no savings to have people in a certain type of car. 2nd some new CEO gets hired off some whimsical plan to make more money. 3rd a plan gets formed to lower the prices for these self driving cars, giving people a price break that is high enough to make them want to switch but also low enough to equal increased profits from all the new signups of ever more lucrative insurance packages. Essentially just giving us just enough to make the math work for us while really making the math work for them. And by the end of it all there will be no accidents anywhere but we are all still required to have insurance because the insurance companies used our own money to lobby for their own gains. Also in this future you will be able to get a DUI based purely on the seat you chose to sit in... (I call shotgun!) And phone use while in the drivers seat will still be illegal!

Number two, by that time, there will be a whole Martian civilization living there, with whatever drawbacks that includes, so slamming a planet into it would kill all those people! And number three, as Joe said, it will take a few hundred million years for it to cool off enough to actually use it. So, it’s a none issue, by time we are able to do it, there will be no reason to do it.

What do you mean that nothing ultimately matters? Firstly, every moment within the universe is as real as every other. If physisists proved conclusively that the universe will disintigrate in 10^100 years, the stuff that happens beefore then is still real stuff that will or won't happen and that can matter. (or rather that we can care about, the label "this matters, its important" is part of the mind, not of reality. If you intrinsically care about frogs for the shear frogginess, then frogs matter to you. Ie stars are important to me because hopefully I can use them to build my intergalactic utopia. (Although an intergalactic utopia not built by me personally is just as good, and more likely.)

Loving driving (in the way you are talking about it) is quite an “US kind of thing”. In (most) other countries we don’t think of “being able to drive anywhere” as equal to freedom, we have a different criteria for that (that you guys haven’t), and we don’t “hate” public transport in the same ways as you guys.

I was going to make a similar point in that the vast majority of people like the freedom driving affords them but not the actual act of driving. I consider myself to be in a minority where I will go for a drive with no destination in mind because I enjoy the task of driving, especially when you can find a quiet, twisty back road. Most people are more similar to my wife who, if given an alternative transport option that is just as convenient, would do that over driving. I think this is more evident in the US due to the lack of options especially on the west coast where the cities were designed with cars much more in mind. In Europe, cities are much older and designed for horse and cart over car. Public transport is better, so you see less car dependency in bigger cities. However, there is more car dependency in smaller towns with less transport links and a feeling that they have to drive over wanting to drive.

I think, that huge role is being played by the city layout - european cities are old and have defined city centre with important city buildings being close to it, as well as residential zones of influent people who wanted to be as close to center of power, as possible… In most of the history, abovementioned closeness to source of power meant that you lived "short walk away", however over time it changes to "short time away" and also as some institutions were unable to fit to limited space on main city square, moving to fringes a new need arised - to connect city center with instirutions on fringe… Over time, that gave birth to modern european public transport… However in USA, situation went a different way, leading to a mass-building of cheap "paper & stick" houses into middle of nowhere…

For private cars, maybe. But on a grander level, it will mean a lot of improved efficiency. Individual efficency, like when you don't have to pay a trucker and have him stop to eat, sleep and whatnot, and collective efficiency when we get rid of traffic jams, gridlock, accidents, toll booths, etc. And if we move away from private car ownership and into robotaxis, we can get rid of things like garages and parking lots, make streets wider by not having to leave space to park, and so on. Personally, I think that's the way it's going to go for the majority of people: automated Ubers.

Here in Arizona we get a heat dome basically that covers the city and surrounding cities. It’s likely from so much blacktop and concrete from all the people here. Storms will pass by or go around when it’s too hot for the storm to penetrate the heat dome. In the outskirts, the edge of the dome sort of, has many farms still. And the further away you get from the freeway, and towards small mountains the cooler it gets compared to populated areas.

My thoughts about changing roof colors: From what I’ve heard, heating and cooling homes puts more carbon into our atmosphere than all cars (not including diesel trucks iirc) on the road. So if there is a suggestion for something that allows us to use less energy for heating and cooling, it will probably have a significant impact when stretched out to an entire country or the whole world.

@charleslivingston2256

Joe started with the small percentage of the surface area roofs are and so they wouldn't make a big difference to cooling the climate He ended up with saying it could make a big difference on energy to heat/cool those individual houses (for with the roof is a significant fraction of the surface area). And then that that saving heating/cooling energy would probably help the climate more than the reduction in the reduction in total solar energy absorbed.

@TTFerdinand

2 жыл бұрын

Wouldn't it be more efficient to cover the roofs with solar panels? When installed properly, they would also protect roofs from accumulating too much heat thus reducing the energy required to cool the rooms. You'd need to leave a space between the roof and the panels, that space would naturally ventilate dispersing heat and the energy generated by the panels would cover a lot of the household's energy needs.
