  • Fire just needs and oxidizer, and their are other elements that can take it’s place if their is no oxygen. (I believe bromine and iodine but I’m not sure about that.)

    The sun actually isn’t made of “fire.” It’s made primarily if hydrogen and some helium. It “burns” because the immense gravity of all of that matters crushes the hydrogen atoms together, fusing them into more helium. This fusion releases a LOT of energy. For reference of how much hydrogen the sun burns, it burns around 600 MILLION tons of it each second. That’s 600 million tons of the lightest element there is.


  • And yet, the giant oil corporations lied about climate change and subverted efforts to develop renewable energy back in the 80s when it could have actually helped. They did that to line their pockets, fucked over the entire world, and have had no repercussions for it. Don’t act like it’s the people’s fault. A large large portion of the damage to the climate was done so executives could save an extra .1% of profit for themselves.







  • We have explored an infinitesimally small portion of our galaxy, let alone the universe. We have barely even explored our the planets in our own solar system. What you’re saying is the same as looking in a drop of water and saying that fish don’t exist in the ocean. We have no real reason to believe that life ONLY exists here on one planet of the estimated 100 billion planets in our galaxy. Which is one of 200 billion galaxies.

    The lack of evidence thus far only suggests that life might be more rare, or harder to detect, than previously thought. It implies nothing about us being truly alone in the universe.



  • “Peace times” doesn’t mean much when wars are waged through propagandizing a countries population to promote civil unrest. Russia was doing this for years and look how it changed the country completely in 2016. I’m certain china will be doing the same. I think people vastly underestimate the value of this data, and what a foreign power can do with it. They can subtly shape the future of a country to damage it far worse than some proxy war will.
