Fat chance of that happening anytime soon buddy.

So:
No.
NOOO.
NOPE.

>Fat chance of that happening anytime soon buddy.
Meh, maybe, maybe not.
The folks at CERN could discover a new fundamental force, or something similar.
Just imagine if we could suddenly manipulate gravity and acceleration as well as we control electromagnetism.
Or what about the Chinese quantum satellite?
They're experimenting with using entangled particles to send encryption keys (so nobody can eves drop on the key without destroying it).
OK, entanglement doesn't apparently involve FTL comms, but what if we develop spin-modulation radio?
Then we suddenly learn that pulsars (or some other source) are carrying data because they're modulated in a way we've never used before ourselves?
And then there's AI, or some other manifestation of exponential growth of technology.
And what if some country has been developing some kind of interstellar drive tech in secret?
All far-fetched of course, but there's got to be a million ways we could suddenly get there.

It's pointless to even think about alien attacks. If that was somehow to happen, which is almost impossibly unlikely, anything that is advanced enough to reach us is also so advanced that they can do anything they want.
It's too early to think about these things, I doubt we will ever manage to leave the solar system.

Good riddance, gullible idiots shouldn't breed.
On a more serious note, what do you not like about it and why did you choose it?

>>8992248
I really liked it, too bad there are no jobs when your country isn't shitting buildings and infrastructure everywhere for GDP growth (read China)

>>8992264
Easy solution. Move to China.

No TerryA.Davis there was no period when the planet was filled with water that got away somehow magically.

1. there was also no period when all animals were sick and inbread
2.all fish didn't die because of the mixing of salty and normal water
3. No animal would survive in an altitude of higher than mountain everest
4. I am pretty sure i am not inbread
5. Who da fuck made the pyramids? 12 people?
6.i beleive the minoans and some chinks are older than the estimated time of creation

BTW About fish:
If the waters got mixed and then seperated and the fish that exist now in normal water cannot live in salt water then that means they definitely evolved in a way that does not allow them to exist in salt water like their ansestors.

Also get a book on evolution it's not that hard to understand you deepshit

>3. No animal would survive in an altitude of higher than mountain everest
A source for that claim would be nice.

>4. I am pretty sure i am not inbread
As with 1 and 2, our genetics are more degraded now than they were then.

>5. Who da fuck made the pyramids? 12 people?
>not knowing Biblical history

>6.i beleive the minoans and some chinks are older than the estimated time of creation
What methods were used? Ones that would only date over 6,000 years ago I bet.

>If the waters got mixed and then seperated and the fish that exist now in normal water cannot live in salt water then that means they definitely evolved in a way that does not allow them to exist in salt water like their ansestors.
>implying God didn't give them a large amount of variations, and that now they've most of that due to degradation and entropy, a byproduct of the fall

>Also get a book on evolution it's not that hard to understand you deepshit
I did, they convinced me that such things are merely the morbid fantasies of godless humans.

There are non renewables for a long time and then there's the magical beautiful nuclear energy. Eventually the retarded liberals will stop being so mad about it.
If thorium reactors come then all the better, if not we still have traditional ones.

>>8991050
As I understand it the issue leftists have with nuclear reactors is that you can expect to have a problem every couple of decades where shit goes wrong and the consequences are catastrophic for the local area.

Not really. Given population growth and economic growth especially in the developed world this is not the case.

> magical beautiful nuclear energy
Without breeder reactors this is also a very limited resource. Breeder reactors mean inevitable nuclear war.

> thorium
Also in limited supply, worse than Uranium 235.

Can anyone do better than this?

As the author of the book - physics professor - points out, we need numbers and facts not hand-waving arguments and adjectives.

>>8991006
I don't fear it, but I certainly don't want it. As for what potentially comes after it, nothing.

The only reason I don't want to die is because there is so much left in this world for me to learn.

>>8991006
As much as i like living, i feel that dying would be quite comforting.

introspection is NEVER a bad thing. whatever your methods of achieving such are your own, but who am i to criticize one over another?

Let me answer your question with another; where would you even begin to change things? There are so many types of cancer and so many potential oncogenes (cancer risk genes) that decreasing susceptibility to one type might lead to increased risk of another, or other lethal health conditions.

>>8989535
add multiple expressions for tumor suppression proteins like elephants have. about half of cancers progress due to the gene for trp-53 becoming corrupted.

telomerase (enzyme for lengthening telomeres) is also overexpressed in cancer cells but strongly related to aging; hence the immortal HeLa cell line ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeLa ).

a start would be genetically engineering elephants to overexpress telomerase, since to begin with they have several copies of tumor suppression genes.
