Oh. You muted me. I sure wish I knew why. I've only ever said nice things to you.

We could all just leave each other to their own beliefs, and then whoever is wrong gets blown up by an ICBM, because being wrong makes you less fit to survive. Everyone is happy - the right person is happy, the wrong person is happy, the other wrong person is happy, more wrong people are happy, and even mother earth is happy because wrong people aren't supposed to survive.

Only about 10% of us need to wake up to cripple the machine.

πŸ€” and everyday, we get closer.

Can you explain the physics of what you wrote going back to first principles?

Here are 11 problems chatgpt identified:

Observable Challenges to Rocket Operation in Vacuum

1. Combustion in vacuum

- Evidence: Fires on Earth require air; no spontaneous combustion in vacuum

- Gap: Rockets are claimed to burn above 100 km, but unverified independently

2. Pressure requirements for motion

- Evidence: Motion on Earth requires pushing against something

- Gap: Rockets are claimed to move in vacuum with no external medium

3. Exhaust behavior in vacuum

- Evidence: Gases in vacuum expand rapidly and thin out

- Gap: Rocket exhaust is claimed coherent and bright, no independent footage above 100 km

4. Flame visibility

- Evidence: Flames need air to sustain and carry heat

- Gap: Claimed visible flames in vacuum are not independently observed

5. Effects of reduced air pressure

- Evidence: High-altitude fires weaken or fail due to low oxygen

- Gap: Rockets are claimed to burn above ~100 km, not independently verified

6. Air pressure requires a barrier

- Evidence: Gas pressure exists only with containment

- Gap: Rocket engines push exhaust into vacuum with no external barrier

7. Footage limitations / possible CGI

- Evidence: Visual recording above ~50–100 km is scarce; many videos enhanced

- Gap: No independently verifiable footage of rockets above 100 km

8. Momentum transfer expectation

- Evidence: Motion normally requires pushing against something

- Gap: How internal push produces forward motion in vacuum is not observed

9. Heat dissipation in vacuum

- Evidence: Heat relies on convection in air

- Gap: Flames and high temperatures in vacuum cannot dissipate by convection

10. Structural integrity in vacuum

- Evidence: Pressurized/soft objects rupture in vacuum chambers

- Gap: Rockets are claimed to survive vacuum; no independent footage confirms

11. Direction of force in vacuum

- Evidence: On Earth, pressure gradients/buoyancy show force direction

- Gap: In vacuum, no medium exists to define direction; motion direction is unobserved

You're doing this on purpose. You saw this :

Anyways, I can do it too. Here :

Refuting the Challenges to Rocket Operation in Vacuum

Each of the points raised regarding the operation of rockets in a vacuum can be addressed by understanding the fundamental principles of physics, particularly Newton's laws of motion and the behavior of gases. Here’s a detailed refutation of each point:

1. Combustion in Vacuum

Refutation: While it is true that combustion requires an oxidizer, rockets carry their own oxidizers (like liquid oxygen) in their fuel tanks. This allows them to burn fuel in a vacuum. The combustion process in rockets is not dependent on atmospheric oxygen.

2. Pressure Requirements for Motion

Refutation: Rockets operate on Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The rocket expels exhaust gases backward, which propels the rocket forward, even in a vacuum where there is no external medium to push against.

3. Exhaust Behavior in Vacuum

Refutation: While gases do expand in a vacuum, rocket exhaust is expelled at high velocities, creating a coherent jet. The high-speed exhaust maintains its momentum and direction, allowing for effective thrust. The brightness of the exhaust is due to the combustion process, which can be observed in rocket launches.

4. Flame Visibility

Refutation: Flames can be visible in a vacuum if they are produced by a combustion process that generates light. The combustion of rocket fuel creates a bright flame due to the high temperatures and chemical reactions involved, independent of the surrounding air.

5. Effects of Reduced Air Pressure

Refutation: Rockets are designed to operate in low-oxygen environments. The combustion process is optimized for the specific fuel and oxidizer mixture, allowing them to burn effectively at high altitudes and in space.

6. Air Pressure Requires a Barrier

Refutation: The concept of pressure does not apply in the same way in a vacuum. Rockets do not need an external barrier to create thrust; they generate thrust by expelling mass (exhaust) at high speed, which is sufficient to propel them forward.

7. Footage Limitations / Possible CGI

Refutation: While high-altitude footage may be limited, there are numerous verified launches and missions (e.g., from NASA, ESA) that provide credible evidence of rocket operations in space. Independent verification comes from multiple space agencies and private companies.

8. Momentum Transfer Expectation

Refutation: The internal push of gases expelled from the rocket engine creates momentum according to Newton's laws. The rocket moves forward as the exhaust gases are pushed backward, demonstrating that motion can occur without an external medium.

9. Heat Dissipation in Vacuum

Refutation: While convection is not possible in a vacuum, heat can be dissipated through radiation. Rockets are designed to manage heat through radiative cooling, which is effective in the vacuum of space.

10. Structural Integrity in Vacuum

Refutation: Rockets are engineered to withstand the conditions of space, including vacuum. The materials used are tested for structural integrity under various conditions, and many successful missions have demonstrated their resilience.

11. Direction of Force in Vacuum

Refutation: The direction of force in a vacuum is defined by the direction of the exhaust flow. Newton's laws apply universally, and the rocket's motion is determined by the thrust vector created by the expelled gases, regardless of the surrounding medium.

These points illustrate that rockets are indeed capable of operating effectively in a vacuum, relying on fundamental principles of physics rather than the presence of an external medium.

The Saturn V rocket combined hydrogen and oxygen to cause propulsion - it had tanks full of hydrogen and tanks full of oxygen. I don't think that's actually a combustion reaction, since carbon has to be in one of the products of combustion reactions. Current rockets use methalox fuel, which includes the oxygen and I think is a combustion reaction.

Let's make this joint work **_and_** establish more joints. Idk if its fetishizing space, but I know that humans only flourish on frontiers. We stagnate in the established civilized areas. America has never recovered from conquering the west. Europe has never recovered from finishing its age of exploration. All golden ages coincide with new frontiers ; all periods of stagnation follow the conquest of the frontier.

In the current paradigm, there's exactly zero chance of colonizing space. Zero. Rocketry only developed as a means to strike enemies further away. The "victory" of the US in the space race was not moral - it was proof of capability to deliver payloads directly to Moscow. That's the only reason it caused a stir over there. But what victory is in colonizing the moon, or Mars, or extracting resources from the Psyche group of asteroids? That doesn't "win" in geopolitics. In fact, it would make us less competitive on the terrestrial stage. It won't happen. Ever. We'll go extinct squabbling down here.

Unless something changes. #Bitcoin is the change that is necessary to unlock space colonization. A country that saves in bitcoin can't be robbed by corrupt elite. And if corrupt elite can't rob their citizens OR anyone else's, they can't have their wars. Bitcoin further pushes us toward the technological future by directly monetarily rewarding anyone who builds better tech.

Bitcoin is the necessary first step to humanity's next stage of evolution - Homo Sapiens Solaris.

#Space

We can grow the pie, or we can fight over the pieces. #Bitcoin nudges the world more toward growing the pie, since the pieces become harder to take.

πŸ€” probably the biggest hurdle for the normies getting bitcoin is the concept of, "don't trust ; verify." Just look at their diet... They trust labels, so their naive trust is the food of corrupt corporations. If they can't learn the lesson while being literally poisoned, then how will they ever learn it?

It doesn't look like they're interested in earth, unless it changes trajectory again.

Hey... Hey... There's an alien spaceship the size of a city in our solar system...

I feel like the metaphysical ramifications of cryptography are unappreciated. Like, I'm pretty sure if I sit here and think about these insane numbers, I can just get high off the thinking.

I've noticed the uptick recently too. Its going to get worse. People are turning to religion out of desperation, not love. Men are being pushed out of the workforce and the most obvious thing is that women are actually not being pushed out of work. That doesn't make women the cause - the money printing is the cause - but a lot of people won't see that, and anyways some people are just happy for a reason to hate. So, this false religiosity is growing because there are some brands of Christianity that offer the severity they want to impose on others. I think there's a nice term for it, but I can't remember - basically the psychology of being unable to cope with your Shadow because of the pressure of a situation, causing people to enact the shadow - same thing happened in Germany between the wars.

I didn't know that about Paul. I keep telling myself to give Paul a chance, but I always feel like he's an imposter or usurper. Like, it should have been Peter doing everything he did, IMO.

Bitcoin is our best defense against extraterrestrial aliens.

India, cuz f it. My top pick was Myanmar, but that's not looking good right now.

Baking powder is an abomination. Every time I try following a re-cipe with it, the result sucks. New rule for me! Never use baking powder. That's the rule from now on or until I forget probably in a month.

Replying to Avatar unit

Is that the same product key they want when you pirate them? Did people just walk through these stores and snap pic..... Ohhhh. No cell phones back then. Huh. Dang.

I don't think you want to, though. But... You don't have to do anything... Thanks for talking

Isn't it worse to let someone be an example of unchristian behavior? A non-christian is convinced either for or against Christianity based on our behavior. This dude is actively harming Christianity while pretending to be one. I should be silent while wolves in sheep skin prey on the unsuspecting?

Now look at his current response. I have achieved my goal. All can see his hypocrisy. This is a predator. Christians **_must_** see this and turn away from it.

Its fine, and I respect your not wanting to get in it and telling me your thoughts. I actually did want to be wrong. My reaction isn't only to him - there's a history of Christians being rude (to put it mildly) and my reaction may be mostly to that, rather than only this instance.

Being concise on a nuanced topic only results in misunderstanding. He asked for me to explain, do I did. Responding that he didn't read is then entirely a prideful and hateful response - because he asked for it.

My response then was justified. And he then proved his hypocrisy by blocking me. I could have been wrong, and I did regret my reaction. But he made me right. This is not a case where I like being right.
