  • I think you still haven’t provided enough context:

    They played each other earlier in the tournament in Canada and the Canadian fans booed the US national anthem

    …due to America’s leader denying Canada’s sovereignty, and launching a tariff regime intended to cripple Canada’s economy.

    In this game the Americans booed Canada’s national anthem, while in a sense retaliatory is also a doubling down and refusal to acknowledge the legitimacy of Canada’s grievance.



  • Edit to add disclaimer: this is shitpost level math here guys, I’m just spitballing.

    It would definitely emit thermal radiation. if it was 99% efficient and the size of pluto’s orbit, around a star like the sun, and the energy was used to create matter, I think it would radiate the remaining energy as 0.009 W/m2 with a peak emission wavelength of 150micrometers. The James Webb telescope has infrared capabilities that max out at 28.5 micrometers so def not detectable.

    But probably a dyson sphere would be smaller than pluto’s orbit, which would greatly increase the apparent power, and shorten the wavelength. idk it’s all imaginary.

    I won’t subject you to my hand writing but I did (power of sun × 0.01)/(surface area of sphere with Pluto’s orbital radius) to get radiation intensity (0.009 W/m2). Then rearranged Stefan-Boltzmann law to solve for temperature (19.8K). Then used Wien’s Displacement Law to calculate the peak wavelength (1.5×10-4 m).

    Maybe I’ll run the numbers again with a martian orbit radius, and 50% efficiency.





  • I was pretty skeptical of them when I clicked “Technology Connections” video on them. It’s the same thing as a convection oven, what’s the big deal?

    Well it’s the same just like how a quadcopter drone is the same thing as a RC dual rotor helicopter

    It’s like yeah they’re the same thing, but they have some important differences too.
