I try to contribute to things getting better, with humor, sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.
Earth’s circumference is 40 000 km, if you align 50k patches of 5 km width, it covers more than 6 times this circumference. Current human’s light pollution is already a biodiversity issue. This would be massively worsening the situation for just one system.
Do we need a paper to estimate that ecosystems that evolved with a night time with a moon (mostly partial, sometimes absent), are going to be disturbed by having 50k of them? Also it’s the new product’s responsibility to demonstrate its safety.
Again you’re implying something I didn’t mean, but the point is that having 50k times the equivalent of the moon light intensity is expected to have a bad impact on the environment.
Sorry, I clicked on accept once when I was 12 and now they allowed themselves to steal everyone’s. :/
I was not thinking about combining the beans, but about the surface that 50k of them would cover and the amount of additional light that would represent. I do hope it’s just some vaporware.
That would be multiplied by 50k according to their plan, wouldn’t it? That’s a lot of moons.
I am imagining the marketers leaving the office with life jackets riding small boats. 🛟🚣
Yes, but less rude, like “my lil’ buddy”.
