From the title I thought you might have finally stumbled upon the Peak oil concept... Still, you made a good point that thinking outside the system of conventional and comforting beliefs takes a lot of energy (not to mention courage). Perhaps this explains why people can watch gas prices triple i...

Nice idea, but you left out the "good" bit: a rock the size of Everest slamming into the Earth and the following giant earthquake, tsunami, global firestorm, nuclear winter, all the big dinosaurs gone, some of the small fuzzy ones left etc. Must have happened while you were having those "I am a G...

If you follow this logic, in a few thousands years we could turn the solar system into a Dyson swarm... with the rest of the Galaxy following after at most a few million years. That doesn't seem to have happened yet. So, we could be the first technologically advanced civilization in the galaxy; a...

I admire your willingness to step forward and make a stand for science and free speech; like you said, someone has to. I wish you good luck! On a more positive note, I'm glad I finally got to know what sort of science you do (I admit I was curious).

We are LAME! We can reverse engineer intergalactic starships and rule the Galaxy (with like 4 of them)... Every planet with a stargate seems to have on average 1-10 villages and a few hundred thousand inhabitants... Fluent in English, of course... The "advanced" civilizations are dead or dying......

Thanks, that's just what I needed.

No offense, but there are better theories about the way life started. If you have access to scientific papers, read the 2006 review by William Martin and Michael Russell. If you just want the basic facts, try Life Ascending by Nick Lane (a very good book). Btw, I support another theory of how lif...

"A year in a wooden boat, with 4000 species of termites on board? And woodpeckers? And beavers?" I laughed so hard...

Well, the revision is nice and all but still wrong...The edge of the observable Universe is currently about 46 billion light-years away. As a fellow skeptic I'm somewhat disappointed he didn't bother to check wikipedia before talking about it in front of 1000 people...

Actually you can win the scenario post-patch, despite the drone rush. (1) just keep building probes, remember to Chrono boost too! (2) take enough probes off the mineral line to defeat each drone wave (about 2:1 ratio) but no more! (3) when the computer runs out of workers (in my case it quit at ...
