    Love the writing. I wonder if adding the following would have been fun in regards to "how did we survive." Also, young males in our species evolved this deep need to actively seek out and overcome great danger, high risk and even war for no other reason than to make daily life interesting. Otherwise, many find life just too dull to enjoy.

    1.32g you get more in a normal elevator, and maybe up to 2.5g in a fast elevator, and up to 3g on a rollorcoster (they could get up to 5g but could fly off the track )

      When you are moving up at constant speed in an elevator?
      When an elevator is moving upward the apparent weight of a body inside elevator?
      How much work does an elevator motor do to lift a 1000 kg elevator a height of 200 m?
      How do you calculate the speed of an elevator?
      What is the formula of work done?
      Is an elevator a dead load?

    Why would space traveling races that are hanging out with a human in an office to design worlds be impressed that we went to the moon and launched probes?

    • @Iyiouseismouse
      @Iyiouseismouse 2 місяці тому +20

      I think it is because humans for 100k years fought nature and each other to survive, then when finally developing agriculture and written language ended up fighting bloody wars with one another for the next 4,000 years until finally reaching the industrial age, just to fight in world wars and develop nukes (which would not have been necessary without scarcity of resources), but managed not to wipe each other out and culminate in space travel.
      With earth at a 13, it seems like Earth is actually like a really bad spawn point and other planets had tons of resources which led to there being no need for war over the resources and the species just coasting to greatness… kind of like if we didn’t ever care to fight because everything was plenty everywhere and it lead to ancient Egypt making the first moon landing, the Middle Ages being like Star Trek, and present time being like a Class 1.5 or 2 civilization.
      Then in that case, with them developing on 2 or 4 planets like they are in cheat mode, just the fact that humans didn’t become extinct (which we almost did 12,000 or so years ago) and made it to the galactic table to have a voice at all, would be considered to all to be an amazing feat, and give them a sense of respect even if the other races were more advanced.

      The story implied Aliens uplifted Humans into the Galaxy with, "...Which our planet is supposed to be in if not for our over use of fossile fuels for the century and a half leading up to first contact.", and, "You mean you've achieved extra-planetary travel on your own?".

      I think the story is meant to impress on the idea that humans lived in such harsh environments and still took themselves beyond their planet to live elsewhere
      One could also theorize that many civilizations may not have become space faring in their own right, and were instead uplifted technologically by another race, to a creature who’s race got this leg up to be confronted by another creature who lived in such a drastically more difficult environment and yet took themselves further technologically before joining the overall galaxy, would be a terrifying and impressive experience for them, just my thought anyway

    I've learned a great deal from this and other AI read stories. Terra and terror are pronounced the same in British English but different in American English, and this is not the only such difference. This explains many of the glitches in voicing and spelling. /gh/ is another difficulty, among many [BTW Americans only use among, but Britons may use amongst]. Readers of people using variations of the latin alphabet but with different pronunciations have the same issue as the AI. I'm not sure if writing the scripts in IPA would work given the dialect differences. I once heard a Texan speaking German, the grammar and vocabulary were correct but the extreme accent made it difficult for me to understand, even though I have studied German. Then there are Geordies', Aussies', Cajuns' and other dialects that are difficult.

    I still find it rediculous that Earth could be considered a deathworld.
    If earth is a deathworld, than most every world is a deathworld based on environmental difficulty alone.
    We have a narrow range of environmental conditions in the right range of values for our life.
    We aren't tidally locked or forever under one plant spanning hurricane of molten glass. Our planet isn't actively shedding its atmosphere at an appreciable rate.
    We even have a magnetosphere.
    Well maybe a planet wide constant hurricane could support life... but point is we have some amount of consistency.

    • @zarroth
      @zarroth 2 місяці тому +5

      but it IS actively shedding its atmosphere. It's doing so very slowly, and the volcanic activity releases more from the bowels constantly, but it is in fact being belched out into space at a consistent pace and will eventually be gone.

    • @jds1275
      @jds1275 2 місяці тому +2

      True, but we also have no example of another world with complex life. For all we know, life in general cannot survive the extremes earth has, and the worlds that life usually evolves on are generally tamer than earth. Of course, it could be the opposite too, that we have a perfect world in comparison to others out there. That is, assuming there is anything else out there. We know nothing until we have other examples so we can create whatever entertaining stories we want, not worrying about realism.
