There's probably already enough space junk orbiting the planet that we could make the dust ring with a few well-placed rocket launches or a few weeks with a supervillain-style laser.
Zot.
Whoops, I just knocked out TV to half the continent.
Adhesive? I would totally add velcro for those between-game reconfigurations. I think I'd also stick them in all sorts of wacky places around the house...
Speaking of philosophy...
Their model is in keeping with the Existentialists; to paraphrase Hiedegger (via Barrett), Man is not, strictly speaking, in time as a body is immersed in a river that rushes by. Rather, time is in him; his existence is temporal through and through, from the inside out.
Taken literally, time travel from this point of view is meaningless; time is completely subjective and one cannot step outside of it in order to manipulate it.
Still, that flux capacitor thing was pretty cool.
Well, there's your answer. We'll know how animals act when there are millions of sensors in their environment, so the next step is to just toss them around the entire planet and we'll be good to go... no sense worrying about biasing our observations if there isn't an unbiased corner of the world left.
Maybe they can be biodegradable or something, or we can just make them out of all the old CRT monitors that are going to end up in landfills anyways.

Seriously though, why does everything have to have a clock in it? And for that matter why do they all insist on having different times?
Freeloading is, for better or for worse, an unstoppable consequence of human nature. My advice is to just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Who keeps modding this joke up anyways?
Thanks for pointing that one out, so I didn't have to.

(sigh)...and assuming we had the patience to launch stuff into orbit one tiny piece at a time.
