"To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth—all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne.

They are 4.3 billion light-years away. They have already orbited each other a thousand full cycles since the observation (Well, you know what I mean.) and they will spin another thousand before anything from here can reach them.
just 450 light-years apart and orbit each other every 4 million years.
I can't stop thinking that a four million year orbit means humans will have populated that galaxy before those black holes have completed one more cycle.
We're like smart bacteria inside a human being. We could learn about the season cycle, but but the time winter comes, innumerable generations of our descendants will already have killed our host and traveled to other ones.
I disagree. Human being work actually quite well as an air filter. We just need to breathe more to retain as much pollution as we can in our lungs before dying and returning the components to the ground.
All green parties should be supporting this "Breathe more!" campaign.
It's a good idea, congratulations on thinking outside of the box, but electric cars are a bit too cumbersome for that. They'd also need a driver, as tobacco hornworns can't drive.
If it wasn't, corporate lobbying would be the least of the problems humanity could resolve.
e.g.: If 99% of the population believes the imbalance between the ultra rich and everyone else is orders of magnitude beyond an ideal world, why don't we unite and simply decide to change the system?
However judges take into account the 'spirt' of the law, and are often interested in how something behaves or what it actually does as opposed to the technological implementation.
And, by "the spirit of the law" you certainly mean "the demands of the highest bidding lobbyist".

Care to compare humanity's travel technology between four million years in the past and now?
Pretty much correct up to this day.
Have you ever been in a car accident at over 50km/h? Are you still alive and healthy? Would you still be had it happened in a 1909 car?
I'd say "not killing the user" is a pretty nifty improvement. I'd even call it a feature.
So, what you're telling me is that from now on, people with a past that could hurt them if made public will call Google to tell them?
"Hi, Google, I'm a black mail victim. Here is a list of things someone could blackmail me with"

To believe that I'd need more historical references of creatures or cultures extinct by their own means.
History is reality. The world didn't begin our birth day.
we can't undo all of our pollution.
What is your solution to this problem?
Interplanetary colonization.
Therefore it becomes a problem of time. Ergo of speed. So, it all boils down to the size of that "all" you used.

Omnivores eating things that are edible? I thought extraordinary claims required extraordinary proof.
In this case, extraordinary claims did require extraordinary poop.
It will be fun to read the changelog of the first patch.
"Fixed an issue regarding the situation in which reaching a speed of 90mph could make the car turn 90 right if fuel was below 20%."
That is wonderful. Thank you.
Nope. Other than Spain and Canada, which are way beyond, the US and the rest of Europe countries are all in a 10% wide span.

As for the definition of interesting. "Everyone else is doing it" has never been a good argument.
Ok, so you are actually one of those people. Thank you for the clarification.
I hope you enjoy those very interesting things that only appeal to you and the few people that share your superior interests.

In the US, on average, 61,6 acres.
Well, Japan was supplied of way over half its energy needs by the US, for free.
Fortunately, it was very briefly.
Because it's very hard to unite people.

I was trying to stick to options within the realm of probability, albeit thinly.

Three options :
A - By divine revelation.
B - By using his time machine.
C - He isn't certain, but doesn't care.
I've personally decided to believe B because I'm a optimistic atheist.
