IED(EDS) sufferer and spectrum surfer. You probably won’t like what I have to say.
Nice nice, and in the 3000 intervening years they’ve developed alpha particle cannons that shred your entire swarm of rocks and puny physical spaceship to white hot quantum loops as they sip megachampagne on their continent sized airships as they watch your fleet unwillingly transition to light
The gun that fired the barrage was the size of a juice box floating somewhere in orbit, they have millions of them
You didn’t even get a chance to pull your finger off of the mass driver button
As if that future civilization would treat you as anything but a zoo specimen
so are tiktok comment sections, your point?
FTL isn’t possible, ERBs would pastafy any matter passing through them and there is no way to control the other end, and take Kardashev scale 3 civ at least (and that’s even pretending the Kardashev scale isn’t the purest daydream fantasy)
No, it’s not worth it unless you are very lucky, attractive, or rich
Hey maybe you can create one of those super fundamental dependency libraries that XKCD talked about
like every population they are mixed, and there have been public protests so at least there is some opposition
Mostly I think the average person is just low information and agitated with a constant background of fear and confusion, tribalistic and relying on gut feeling over rationality
There are also some ridiculously greedy and violent bandits that will kill a family for land, but they are in the minority.
Repub or Dem no American in power will censure Israel b/c the U.S. will do nothing to jeopardize our military reach there. It’s a sad fact that is at the basis of all of this, and this fundamental misunderstanding cost Kamala a lot of voters
Everyone wants to pretend it’s satanism or globalism or communism or whatever fucking ism is the bad guy this week but really it’s just that the U.S. refuses to give up willingly the title of ‘world’s best warlord’
Why even do it? You can’t be that truly nihilistic
Zero argument here
^Propaganda account
The rich will always have money to pay better people to make beautiful things for them
Just be useful to the rich and you’ll survive
Just like they planned it
This your first round in front of the firehose of lies?
Best guess: Russia is a paper bear that need to keep growling before the bookworms eat it
I watched live on reddit while two comments that said basically the same as you were nuked by the admins, not even mods
This was a false flag he planned to build up support for his failing ‘military exercise’
FTL coms are a concession to the story, it would have been terrible without it
IRL quantum entanglement can’t ever provide causality breaking info. In very simple terms, you need correlation to know when the data stream began as just observing the resulting spins still seem just as random before and after the event.
In even more simple terms: Whatever message they can send even if pre-agreed on seems like random heat results until you know the exact moment the transmission began, as confirmed by a light lagged message.
In less simple terms, the misunderstanding comes from treating the metaphor of ‘flipping the spin north switch’ as a literal thing instead of a less-than ideal ‘lies to children’ of what is actually happening to particles that experience spin transition, and the meaning of ‘entangled’ is both less and more strange than people understand.
But again, 3 body problem would have been a terrible story without it,t hat’s why it’s science fiction
