No. It's a result of quantum particles not actually being real.
The framework is just an abstraction of a more fundamental process. And some things happen to reveal the underlying dynamics. This is literally the definition of physics.

Hawking Radiation. Mass-energy inside a black hole can't escape, so the other half of a vacuum energy virtual particle pair that gets emitted as Hawking radiation remains trapped inside the event horizon. Hawking radiation scales with surface area, and galactic core black holes are spheres with a radius measured in light years.

……Yeah? Being literally dead seems like a pretty solid reason why someone’s body would lose “intangible value”. Living people are valuable because of their thoughts and minds and emotions, and corpses certainly don’t have those. Besides, whether or not corpses are utilized depends on the wishes of the deceased. Dead bodies are used across the world for organ transplants, tissue transplants, and medical education.

>Then it's a small step to treat the living as a resource
That’s like saying it’s a small step from treating literal rocks as resources to treating humans as resources.

Yeah, but Tory doesn't seem interested in human rating Vulkan. That's my point, so when you see the tweet by Berger he even says that BO is who they are going to turn to, except that everyone here who isn't a retard knows that NG is nowhere near ready to launch, and not anywhere near ready for human rating. They are going to have to freeze the design (which I doubt they will do), experience not one single fuck up, and do, what? A dozen successful launches I think NASA wants, right? Stack all those things on top of one another and BO is ruled out as being a possible option for providing a launch vehicle for Starliner. This brings us back to the original problem of NASA's single-source launcher autism butting up against Tory's disinterest in human rating.
That's why I think he's going to just play chicken with NASA and see if they'll budge by human rating the rocket since NASA won't just let SpaceX launch everything. Hell, no one will.

What happened to the SpaceX that churned out Starship prototypes on a WEEKLY basis? The SpaceX that would add some new rings to these prototypes every couple of hours, you'd be watching a live stream, go do something else, and by the time you come back there was already visible progress. Waking up, and the first thing was to check out what was new at Boca Chica while sipping your morning coffee, also speculating for what will happen tomorrow. There was also waiting for RGV aerial's pictures so you'd end up later gawking at the sheer rate of expansion the launch and build site were going through. They were so fast and hard to keep track of them that tankwatchers went from weekly update, to bi-weekly, to daily ones, because EVERY SINGLE DAY in Boca Chica there was something new to show. There was so much hope in the air. Mars 2022 cargo missions, Mars 2024, albeit a minuscule and non-zero chance, for the manned missions. But surely 2026, 2028 at the absolute latest, for us to finally go there, if this pace of progress is maintained, we thought. My goodness, what the fuck happened.

The fundamental problem isn't with tunnel boring tech, that's gotten pretty advanced. It's the fact that boring projects are similar to cost plus aerospace contracts. There's next to no incentive to deliver anything on time or at budget or below budget. The industry is ripe with blown budget and contract corruption in the construction industry. Transitioning the industry to milestone based fixed firm price contracts would fix almost all the problems.

Because, it is deboonking proof. You literally can't deboonk it. Any attempt to deboonk it is like splashing water on oil; it slides right off. Star Citizen is the perfect storm of an ever-evolving tech demo. It perpetually pushes the boundary of possible, so it perpetually remains in alpha.

The game's scope has become so massive, that its 550.6M raised budget isn't enough to get it past early to mid alpha. 4.0 doesn't even get it to beta. It probably won't hit beta until 8.5 or 9.0; so another 5-7 years of development.

O'neillites always say this, but I've never seen a more detailed analysis of how you engineer an asteroid mining system that can create enough propellant, water, air and required materials for self maintenance at a sufficient rate to comfortably sustain a population. We don't even really understand how to do serious industrial work in zero G. At least on a planet we can pretty easily extrapolate from earth and bring what is essentially fancy industrial equipment. This is without adding in the challenge of constantly spinning around part of your superstructure as well (It would be more plausible if you didn't bother spinning it and just accepted gene modding/natural selection in the residents). In space, to be an Oneillian, you essentially have to find a way to be a space pastoralist without any space horses or space grass, while lugging around complicated machinery, in what is essentially a desert with small oases scattered throughout, at each of which you need to expend a lot of effort to get at, and have a different set of materials, such that you'll need to plan ahead and know the composition of an asteroid pretty well before you get there. The engineering challenge would be extreme.

Earf:
>the atmosphere has a mass of about 5.15×10^18 kg

Benus:

Which means venus has MORE nitrogen by mass than earf!
5.15×10^18 kg * 0.78 = 4.017E18 kg

the amount of propellant it would take to descend a medium to large gravity well, extract all the useful mass and then climb back up out it would be absurd. I'm not sure there's enough prop in the solar system for it. Not to mention, if there are any previous residents, you will lose your high ground advantage (they will take potshots at you with whatever they've got + lay traps for you). They'll probably also call you space gypsies for trying to steal their planet/moon.
