There's no possibility of China having a competitive tech industry with these kinds of restrictions.

Electric cars won't make things easier for pedestrians and cyclists. You are really asking for fewer cars.

Which is the problem of the idea. Any kind of thermal engine, such as a stirling engine, would beat this idea in efficiency with those kinds of temperatures.

Inflation "smooths out" the curves in space-time by stretching space out in an exponential manner. So any curves get flattened until the universe is effectively flat. An inflation-…

It's everywhere now.

Flu shots should be replaced with a generalized vaccine that targets multiple different respiratory diseases.

> This cell achieved an efficiency of 41.1% operating at a power density of 2.39 W cm–2 and an emitter temperature of 2,400 C. At those temperatures, this is not very impressive.

Which would be the third time in nearly 4 billion years. Still pretty unlikely. Both second and third examples are with an organism that already achieved the eukaryotic stage. It's…

Twice, not three times. And the second in an organism that already achieved symbiogenesis. All of this took around 2 billion years or so to happen. It is a potential great filter c…

I think so too.

If we only find prokaryotic life, that would suggest intelligent life is rare.

That should be "upwards of 4,500 notifications".
