This suits a definition of observable universe. We know objective or actual universe is larger. Question is how should non observable universe be called if observable universe is synonym for Universe? edit: What I mean by "we know" is not that we have measurable proof but we know the actual...

At the moment Mars is all about prestige, a country that sets foot on Mars first will benefit from prestige. Anything else like human colony is just expensive dream, maybe science station but not much more than that and even that is not priority since it's much cheaper and safer to send robots...

Evidence yes but not proof. https://grammarhow.com/proof-vs-evidence/

I've read several articles and concluded it all boils down to whether the policy resulted in their population being 400 million less than what it would be without the policy. This figure of 400 million which was proclaimed by them is obviously disputed because it's an estimation rather than...

They have relaxed it and reintroduced several times already from what I've read in the past depending on how population composition develops and in accordance with statistics. But that's not the point, the point is that their policy helped to contain population growth to desired levels.

Limiting population for sure but not with heavy taxation, high taxes only harm economy. So far a method of population limit that is proven to be working is China's one child policy - it doesn't harm their economy and also prevents excessive population growth. Yeah, space is full of minerals...

Orbiting farms are really not a solution because even if affordable this would only make the crisis worse by increasing population further. Space is so wast it could theoretically host enough farms to make planet way overcrowded. Also while food issue may be solved, population doesn't depend...

Yes it does, but not in same shape. :) Objects (matter) changes so it's no longer the same furniture. I suggest anyone interested to read about Ship of Theseus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus TV, a car, furniture, cannot stay the same as to say these things are from the future.

Agree, and one possible explanation on how they might achieve this is by having a stealth technology so advanced we're unable to detect them or any of their signals.

If future "exists" then it follows that fate exists. If fate exists then it follows no free will exists. If this is correct then it also follows that existence of a future is not scientific but rather philosophical or religious approach. I personally don't believe in fate but do believe in...

I'm having difficulty to comprehend the burning sun or any other star. The age of Sun is 4.603 billion years, this sound like hell a lot of time for flammable fluid to burn out, for instance if you set gasoline to fire it will burn out very quickly, how is that for the sun it takes billions of...

I didn't read all, it's way too much for my taste because I prefer short premises, but I do agree that BB theory is impossible to true. It does however give some insights. Infinitely dense mass is an absurdity, and finite universe is also illogical.

This is very interesting, because in philosophical world there is spear breaking around "what is time?", I recommend anyone interested to study McTaggart's definition of time, ex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unreality_of_Time In any case I find it difficult to imagine anything without...

I found some good documentaries talking about alien life, that is, possibilities to find one. It's split into 3 parts (110 min total), very interesting to watch, definitely recommending: Part 1: Part 2: Part 3:

I must admit I didn't know that the number associated with an element is "the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom" So I guess then discovery of new materials or substances is more likely and with greater potential than a single element?
