later?

edgemaster72, 5 miesięcy temu (edited 5 miesięcy temu)

What they’ll say then: The atmosphere used to be on fire. It still is, but it used to be too.

But yeah, I probably should have said “meanwhile” instead of “later”

That’s the exact opposite of what NASA wants!

Wow this is the most depressing comment section I’ve ever seen.

threelonmusketeers, 6 miesięcy temu

Yeah, even for Lemmy this is bad. I hope most of them are semi-facetious?

Swedneck, 6 miesięcy temu

it’s just standard “haha self harm funi”, it’s so easy to post and reliably gets a few upvotes, so it’s just a kneejerk response to posts like these.

Which direction do I need to fart to up those numbers?

No stacking software just contrast correction

Well no. By definition it had Venus-like life.

Not ruling out some stange bacterial life that’s generating phosphene however. Come on space agencies, Venus atmosphere sample mission when?

Gork, 11 miesięcy temu w Dark Matter Black Holes Could Fly through the Solar System Once a Decade

What would happen if one of these tiny black holes hit Earth? The article doesn’t really talk about it.

Donjuanme, 11 miesięcy temu

Absolutely nothing.

Also not sure why they wouldn’t evaporate nearly instantaneously. Sounds to me like more dark matter bunk.

deegeese, 11 miesięcy temu

Passing near the earth, we’d get some strange tides. Passing through the earth, it would eat earth.

Rhaedas, 11 miesięcy temu

Nonsense. The event horizon on such things is incredibly small, as is the mass vs. that of Earth.

deegeese, 11 miesięcy temu

You don’t need the event horizon, you just need local gravity around 1G. For the masses described in the article, that radius is from hundreds of meters to 10s of kilometers.

Rhaedas, 11 miesięcy temu

Which still wouldn't do what you suggest. The mass is the same, so it has the same effect from a distance. Unless by "eat earth" you meant it would take in dirt until it suck to the core, still about the same mass.
