  • Without a doubt. It would be weirder if there weren't.

  • Most scientists won't say that there are no straight lines in nature, it's so obviously and provably wrong. I think it's more of a thing philosophically said when talking about how modern life is so different and unnatural compared to the lives of ancient people or animals.

  • They say relative velocity because from our relative perspective they do appear to be moving away from us. It also works when the object is stationary and you are moving towards it or away from it because from your relative position it's the thing moving away from or towards you.

  • Doppler shift is based on relative velocity, the result of red shift is that stuff which is moving away fast enough to produce red shift is far away by virtue of being fast and stuff and stuff that is blue shifted needs to be far away or it will collide with you very quickly or just pass you by. The relative velocities required for doppler shift are pretty high speeds so you normally observe it in stuff that's far away, but distance isn't really a requirement for doppler shift to happen or be observed.

  • And even when computers started to come around, data entry was still largely female dominated. It wasn't until late ron that it became a male dominated space. Largely due to the takeover of video games, which were in America heavily marketed towards only boys and not often marketed towards girls.

  • I feel like OP is trying to use science to justify the current militarized borders and state appointed violence against the people who cross them. It's a terrible comparison because natural territory boundaries are nothing like that. No creature in the animal kingdom has crap like I.C.E. and Border Patrol.

  • It's not really that weird, root beer used to be made using sassafras bark and yeah that's toxic in large amounts too.

    Also fun fact, you can eat the inner bark of most pine trees, particularly white pines. It doesn't taste great but it could easily be a source of food in an emergency.

  • I hope not, it's pretty pathetic to try and compare animals or packs of animals having territories, with militarized borders and state appointed violence. I don't think that's what the OP is doing, but many other people in these comment absolutely are serious.

  • I saw dandelions like that a few times before. I never knew what it was called or what caused it. I think I only ever saw it 3 times.

  • That would raise the sea level almost as fast, and probably more than if the polar ice caps just melted on their own. Also didn't it come from a comet? Last I checked comet ice isn't the cleanest ice, it's full of fun stuff like ammonia, cyanide, and formaldehyde.

  • Yeah before people in America made a big stink about it and said it'lll turn you crazy or into a mexican, or whatever racist unscientific garbage excuse they made to start a moral panic to make it illegal, people smoked or otherwise consumed cannabis. It was just normal. The same way people consume drugs like coffee today, yes coffee is a drug.

  • I agree, the phrasing was poor since many arthropods easily beat this guy in terms of small size.

  • Or it's likely a mini-Neptune type planet with more atmosphere than ground and therefore likely won't have complex life at all. Or complex life able to try and do that.

  • You would need to get into orbit first to start the process of making it. It could make it easier to get into orbit once you have it but it doesn't eliminate the burden of needing to get into orbit at least once before it's set up. Likely more than once since failed attempts will require you to start over.

  • This is the most important part, especially when teaching math to children. The practical aspects of math (beyond arithmetic counting with basic addition and subtraction) are not going to be fully realized until one is an adult, so they aren't going to be a motivator for learning math.

    It needs to be fun and engaging for them to want to keep learning and engaging with it.

  • Honestly I'm not even sure it's possible at that distance. Planets reflect very little light compared to stars, and that already minuscule amount of light gets scattered across an insanely huge area due to the inverse square law. So that tiny amount of light gets spread over an insanely huge area (light years in size).

    I feel like to get a clear picture your telescope would have to be light years across in size to get a clear image with fine details in it. The light is just too spread out to get a clear picture of it with anything you can build at a human scale.

  • The hard part is that the stars create so much glare and planets are so small and faint that it's really REALLY hard to zoom in on them. Even with very powerful telescopes. It's probably straight up impossible actually. Like you can see them and get an idea of what they're made of (light spectrum analysis) but you're not going to be able to make out fine details like what the landmasses look like.
