Re: Weather!
In the big picture, no species can evolve for long if the old versions aren't eliminated. You need reproduction for adaptation and evolution, and you can't have reproduction without death in any system with limited resources. OK, let's say that hypothetically, some genetic mutations have made it po...

Re: Weather!
DNA gets damaged over time, toxins accumulate over time. Some pest, parasite, or disease will eventually win. And evolution doesn't favor organisms that don't die and make room for future generations. How can evolution favor an organism's death? In the big picture, no species can evolve for long if...

Re: Weather!
Well, they have a lifespan of a few hundred years, depending on conditions. Maybe it will be there for another 200. But not forever. Yes, but why a tree can't live forever? I mean, some have been living for more than a millennia. Why this tree can't live that long? DNA gets damaged over time, toxin...

Re: Weather!
Originally from that neck of the woods , I was curious too. :thumb_up: Thanks! Btw, it mentions that "based on its species and history, it will probably be there for another 100 years." Why 100 years? What will happen after that? Well, they have a lifespan of a few hundred years, dependin...

Re: APOD: Simulation: Two Black Holes Merge (2024 May 10)
According to the mathematics that I learned, 36 + 31 = 67, which is 4 (four) more than 63, not 3 more. Of course, this could easily be a matter of rounding issues. But then, if the actual figures were known with greater precision, it would have been quite possible to supply those numbers instead of...

It seems the link that is supposed to direct to yesterday's APOD instead redirects to the APOD for April 18. That's usually remedied by refreshing (reloading) your browser page.

Re: APOD: Looking Back at an Eclipsed Earth (2024 Mar 24)
Are you sure it isn't the ISS ? The APOD image is from 1999, and the ISS was launched in 1998. So it could have been. Today's APOD, like those on most Sundays, is a repeat, having been used on at least five occasions. It first appeared on 30 Aug 1999, just a few days after the image was snapped, wi...
