It’s not that the plastic isn’t recyclable it’s that you cant mix plastics and recycle them. So if there is a doubt at all what a plastic is then it’s thrown away or if it can’t be separated from other materials or contaminated with oil or something.
The power density square law is for an emitting light source that emits in all directions. Since the incoming light is basically parallel that doesn’t really apply. If you were able to accurately track a satellite (a feat I’m sure is pretty hard) you would definitely vaporize it pretty quickly I’m talking under a minute since space is a good insulator.
It depends how the actual system was set up if they used flat reflectors then yeah it applies but the difference in power would be the ratio of the distance from earth to the sun vs the distance of E to S +mirror to satellite which would be negligible. If you had a parabolic mirror you could get no loss in power. The power density square law only apply because the area the light is being distributed over is growing at a square ratio to radius but if the beams are parallel the area doesn’t grow.
No that’s not true only about 30% of light energy scatters when traveling through the atmosphere to earth and certain wavelengths are almost completely absorbed in the way down. So on the way back up it should be a high portion make it to the satellite I would imagine 80%. Even worse case scenario 200 megawats shinning on a satellite would vaporize it almost instantly.
Light doesn’t have to spread wider than a target or else you wouldn’t be able to have telescopes or magnifine glasses. Each panel in unison can act like a giant magnifine glass. The difference in power density would be the ratio of the distance of sun to earth squared vs (sun to earth + earth to satellite) squared which is basically negligible. Where do you get the 3km wide beam? Suns rays are almost parallel.
Unfortunately I can’t open the links on my phone so it’s hard to follow what you’re describing. I understand the rays aren’t perfectly parallel but they’re pretty close to parallel. Do you mind doing the math of where you are getting 3km from I’m not really following your logic. It doesn’t make sense to me that the light should suddenly spread out way more after bouncing off a mirror than if it has just continued traveling straight.
I get what your saying now but it would be possible if you made the mirrors with a focal point at 300km and it would be less effective at different lengths but it shouldnt change all that much since you would only need like a couple seconds with that kind of intensity.
It seems like if what you’re showing is what you understand they find appealing and fun, then surely that’s what should be in the game. You give them that....
You can look at it that way or you can look at it where Biden won’t listen to the people who would elect him and decides to support genocide knowing it will probably mean he won’t get re-elected. Why would you blame the voters when it’s clearly one person who is making the wrong decision. Edit: it’s crazy people are defending Biden while he’s supporting genocide and blaming the people who refuse to support it and don’t attack the president that doesn’t listen to 70% of his own party. If he doesn’t listen here why would he listen to us anywhere else.
I doubt the trump genocide could be more direct than isreals, he’s not really that organized. I do have lgbtq friends and family which is why I hate Biden for being such a terrible person.
Biden gave 14 billion to Israel and only promised 100million but still none has been given. I’m confused about your second point Israel rejected a ceasefire by Israel? Israel has killed over 20k civilians most are children and destroyed almost every hospital in the region, schools, apartment complexes etc cut off food, water and aid from outside. If that’s not genocide idk what is.
I can’t support someone who supports genocide plain and simple. Me not voting for Biden is not a vote for trump that’s not how math works it’s simply a tagline shitty politicians have used to get your vote when running against even shittier people. When all Palestinians are dead or forced to flee their land I hope you can say at least I’m ok because I live in America.
The money is suppose to go to Palestine not Hamas you have shown your racism and that’s the problem. Saying they cant get the money because Hamas has been getting their “ass reamed”. Children in schools and hospitals are being sent into the meat grinder? A 16-18 year old is still a child are you trivilizing their death because they’re close to being an acceptable death age by your standards? They refused to a cease fire till isreal leaves gaza sounds pretty reasonable. Should an invading force be able to take a ton of land then say alright now we stop fighting since we got what we want? You sound like a terrible person and would probably fit in well with the Republican party are you sure you’re not voting for trump.
I want him to not give them 14 billion dollars and say we won’t give you anything else unless we can have peace talks. If you think we have no sway over there you are incredibly naive.
I am an ally, I almost got my ass kicked for standing up for a friend in highschool. I got to marches I correct people or shame people for saying or doing homophobic shit. Don’t talk to me about being an ally. I simply can’t support someone who supports genocide plain and simple. It might not change anything and maybe trump gets elected and the Democratic party learns a lesson they need to actually listen to their party. But letting this shit show go on any further will slowly lead us down a path there will be no going back from.
Barbie was a cultural phenomenon so I would say Greta should at least be nominated. Openheimer was an ok movie in my eyes I didn’t see any of the others. I don’t personally think Barbie was a great movie not a bad movie but more like a good movie. The fact it gave a voice to so many women should mean something.
But why was openheimer nominated, why was Ryan gosling nominated, why were so many movies nominated, not because they’re great acting or writing or movies but because the impact they have on society.
I think Greta should have been nominated. I don’t really understand what point you are trying to make. Did you read the original comment where women are getting passed over but men are getting congratulated for theirs and it’s mimicking the Barbie storyline?
My disgust with it is that it’s simply a call to reduce labor not that there should be less people working on x or we should stop working on y. He views that this many people can’t be productive simply because he wants the company spending less on staff so his profits or share price goes up. It’s short sighted but since investors only care about the next quarter it doesn’t really matter to him.
