Space opera shit.

We (meaning the future merger of humanity and AI) will preserve our solar system for nostalgic purposes, but reconfigure all non-ET life sustaining systems into Matrioschka Brains for the sustenance of countless virtual humans...unless or until such time as we can create our own universes and do a giant human species data dump into it (like all the other ET species who beat us did).

Please stop wasting time on horseshit Star Trek/Star Wars fantasies. Pay attention in class, this is where things are actually going.

Science - research - verifiable results + musclehead speculation + internet rumors = BroScience

>pretty sure the guy who draws those Baloney Detector comics is a literal retard or something

He draws them for borderline retards who don't have a clue about what your explanation means. He's providing a technical-sounding explanation that will get hillbillies a-noddin', because they'll then figure he knows what he's talking about. They'll never even dream of looking into his "refutation" themselves.

I notice OP is using a similar tactic, by not challenging anyone on this thread with any expertise, only cherry-picking the dissenters.
