Kalash ( @theKalash@feddit.ch ) 6•11 months ago1.7 million Hiroshima bombs of heat
These imperial units are just getting ridiculous. Can someone express that in type Ia supernovas of heat for us Europeans?
Umbrias ( @Umbrias@beehaw.org ) 3•11 months agoZero supernovas of heat.
Kalash ( @theKalash@feddit.ch ) 1•11 months agoI see that you are a cosmologists.
Umbrias ( @Umbrias@beehaw.org ) 3•11 months agoHaha. Don’t have to be a cosmologist to round that one.
Kalash ( @theKalash@feddit.ch ) 3•11 months agoI’ll thank you just for getting it. I’m not a physicist, but my dad and a lot of my close friends in my youth were. I’m so glad that the general “well you’re cosmology, doesn’t matter if your’re off a couple of orders of magnitudes” joke still holds up.
HubertManne ( @HubertManne@kbin.social ) 1•11 months agoAnd people complain about doomers. We can’t even get out of coal and we are talking “first world” nations. How the heck are we going to get off oil and further on natural gas. The fact that coal was not ended by 2000 much less 2020 and looks like 2030 is doubtful, its just crazypants.
The problem with doomerism is that idea that it’s inevitable, and you can’t do anything about it, even though the decision to burn is very much a human one.
HubertManne ( @HubertManne@kbin.social ) 1•11 months agoIts really not for most doomers. There are some that say fuck it but most I know what to do everything they can with the realization that its not going to stop the bad effects (given they are very obviously already happening) or even save us but its obvious things can be better or worse and lets have it as better as it can be.
