As suggested in my previous thread, i have now written a short summary paper on the colonisation of mercury similar to the one done by Geoffrey Landis on the colonization of Venus https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20030022668.pdf

Mercury is the best location in the solar system for a colony other than Earth and here's why...

I, too, have written a short summary paper.

Good post king.
I think one reason (if not the main reason) why people don't go in for Mercury in their thinking about space colonisation is that it doesn't viscerally feel as good as going "out" into space. Going further out from our sun (which is kind of the centre of our world) than where we are currently.
There's just something more exciting about venturing further out to the edge of our solar system, and thence to new solar systems and new galaxies.

>>11869138
King, I don't know if your theory is true or not. However, thread hijacking and spam are generally considered impolite.
I do sincerely applaud you on cutting through the bullshit during that sandwich making encounter though.

I didn't know the temperature just under the surface was the same as Earth. Interesting.

Could the phosphorus on Mercury be used to help terraform Venus through providing sustenance to bacteria or other life forms (like plants) that could reduce CO2?
Is the phosphorus easily available?

Could you elaborate on the runaway magnetic field effect?

Fascinating paper. Do you know if there's any existing institutional momentum on carrying out these ideas?

>>11869157
Fair enough.
Has anyone from here, or in the physics world, reached out to you about the substance of your paper?
I lack the background to understand it, otherwise I'd give it a read.

That’s not exactly short, my goal for my paper was that I could lecture it with pictures and explanations in less than 45 minutes. If I wanted to I could write pages and pages on the thermal regulation ect include every calculation as radiation shielding ect and waffle on, but to really convey your ideas to both science savvy and layman you need to be able to succinctly state your point within 30 minutes to 45 minutes

Mercury is literally the best place to colonise if you want to colonise outwards, it is the closest planet on average to every other planet, 4 month launch frequencies, high energy abundance, and it’s the best place to launch a solar sail from

I can do the main gist of it in about 2 minutes. You know how there's thing dark energy where scientists think the expansion of space is accelerating rather than slowing down or remaining constant, as expected? Well, actually a long time ago Einstein showed that the universe is not made of just space, but also time, so that the universe is a 4D "spacetime" and not just a 3D space like it looks in the telescopes where they observe dark energy expansion. Given that that there is more to the universe than just space, you can actually produce the dark energy optical effect by having accelerating time instead of expanding space. In that way, the 3D spatial part of the universe is in "freefall" in 4D spacetime and the effect observed as dark energy is really just the Doppler shift.

If they were simulating reality, then it would matter, definitely. It's because they simulate retard-ville that it doesn't matter.
