But in massive stars, once iron was created they'd quickly go supernova and in those explosions, forces were so great that iron could fuse. All heavy elements were birthed in the deaths of the most massive stars. The iron in your blood, the calcium in your bones, and all the lighter elements (save hydrogen and helium) were created in stars I could definitely see us being like the aliens from Independence Day...trotting from planet to planet, destroying them and harvesting their resources despite what may already be living there...not pretty so I hope we grow a soul before going intersteller as well. Can I just say it's been a treat to speak to you about these things over your last few threads? Tbh I don't see why we'd need to go after planets with life like earth like planets. I say this because earth like planets are not heavily concentrated in 1 specific resource (other than water) which would make mining inneficient If you wanted fossil fuels for example, one of the moons from our solar system (one of Jupiter or Saturn's moons I forget which) has hundreds of times more natural gas than the Earth... Planets like Mars are much more concentrated in iron etc Earth may have a variety of a lot of resources but not a large concentration of 1 specific resource So if an alien race had a mining operation for 1 resource or another, earth wouldn't be the best candidate tbh. Unless like it said water is what they wanted. But yeah, if humans do become one of the most advanced in the universe I hope we change cuz I can see us totally abusing our power tbh I don't think humans (as we are now) would purposely bully smaller aliens for fun, but I can see us being inconsiderate and somewhat of a bully if it benefits us, kind of like in the movie Avatar... Maybe if an alien race is in our space territory for example we may refuse to give them some space rights is whatever even as they emerge as interstellar beings And while not all humans would be unkind, our Corporations and Governments with the true power certainly would if they could benefit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our biggest concern lol A weakening so severe to endanger organic life is a worst case scenario that is very unlikely I'm more concerned with the economic damage and damage to economy if it falls enough to damage our technology Our satellites are most vulnerable because the magnetic field doesn't have to fall as much for them to be exposed Economy being worried about economics over life. It's a concept 😂 love your posts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a concept 😂 love your posts Lol of course life is more important I wasn't suggesting otherwise I'm just saying for it to affect organic life on earth it would have to be an extreme cycle where the magnetic field fell a lot more than usual (like the cycle 541 Million years ago) and on top of that having a bad solar storm at the same time the magnetic field is at its lowest. That's extremely unlikely But our satellites that control GPS systems, telecommunications systems and Air Travel routes and other important stuff is much more likely to get damaged and affect human operations if they go Because they are in space and less protected by the magnetic field, it would take less of a drop in strength for them to be exposed and to get damaged Under a more extreme drop even technology down here could be affected With organic life it would have to be a much more extreme event tho... Technology can fry with a single short burst of strong solar flares... That manages to get thru our magnetic field even if it's just a few seconds Our atmosphere, and our DNA to truly take damage tho would need sustained exposure tho so the field would have to drop super low to have a sustained exposure to solar winds so that's why I'm not so concerned about life, it's a very slim chance it would be affected Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most kids that age lose their accent and become fluent in English within 2 years tops I took 4 years to become fluent and never lost my accent. I also took forever to become Soso at spelling and I still haven't fully mastered it and I've been in Canada for nearly 18 years now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
