Good news!

You can feel like you're traveling faster than light.

If you calculate your acceleration to 7c, and provide enough fuel to slow yourself again at your destination, the time required will match the time you experience on your journey.

Relativity only fucks with the perceptions of everybody else.

Weigh 6 vs 6 and leave 4 aside. If they are the same, you know it's one of the 4... then the remaining two weighings are 2v2 and 1v1.

If one of the two sixes is heavier, weigh it 3 vs 3 (taking the heaviest) and then 1v1 with 1 laid aside.

Three weighings no matter what.

This is actually a good counterargument.

If there is such a thing as a "juggler" then there is, necessarily, a greatest possible juggler -- one might say, a "God-like" juggler -- but that does not automatically imply that we know the skills and traits of such a juggler without ourselves being said juggler. Only that we can imagine them.

There is no reason to assert that "God-like juggler" is a single, consistent individual. He remains a myriad of (different, possibly mutually exclusive) ideas in the minds of those who hear the term.

Sending humans to do what robots could have wasn't an advance, it was a PR stunt. Doing something "just because we can" isn't usually how disciplines improve. Discover exactly what humans MUST do, where they cannot have cheaper or less efficient substitutes, and then work on allowing them to do so.

Insisting that people must be present on every space flight in order to ADVANCE is putting the cart before the horse.

The quote isn't "global warming", it's "social science".
