RE: The universe with its constants gives us physics, stars give us chemistry and planets give us biology
How about we -- I know this is gonna sound crazy-- stay on OUR planet and fix it first, instead of immediately jumping ship and ruining other planets? Yeah? Okay then. It's bad enough we have idiots thinking our planet is only 6 thousand years old and It'd be so cool if we could travel like in movies to see all of this stuff
The planet is just fine. It's the environment that supports humans that is in trouble. If humans go extinct, the planet will still be here. Probably new life will developed that thrives on the new conditions, until they change again, then rinse and repeat.
Great post, kindersaft.
The planet should be able to get over us, though, easily enough, I'd imagine. When it's finally finished with us. Shouldn't be long, now? ;)
I agree. We're already pouring thousands of dollars into Mars research to get those few richy-riches and their richy-rich families to another planet once Earth takes its last breath.
People, sadly, don't give two damns about starving polar bears, and endangered honeybees. And you know why?
Greed.
It's greed that's stopping us from rising and becoming a utopia. Forget all those sci-fi books about floating sky-scrapers, hovering automobiles, and funky space-age outfits. That's not gonna happen. We're gonna go extinct before any of that.
I mean, haven't you heard of all those patented projects about water-driven cars that simply go quiet? No one hears a thing about them?
That's all the work of greedy gas companies shushing innovative people with bribes or with death.
On Earth's grave stone, it'll probably say, "Here lies Earth. It gave them its resources and let them live on it but they violated it and killed it, thus killing themselves. One final round of applause for human greed."
