I know you are, but what am I?

Don't see why would our planet vaporise? Says more about you and your (lack of) understanding of fairly basic physics. Let's say a large asteroid would hit our Moon, knocking it out of orbit or much farther away, so earth would wobble more? An asteroid big enough (or fast enough) to have enough energy the moon out of its orbit wouldn't knock the moon out of its orbit, it would shatter it, and turn a great deal of it into plasma. And that wouldn't be nearly enough energy to alter the Earth's tilt that much. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. Depends how the Moon is hit and the size of asteroid? No, not really, To "knock the moon out of its orbit" would require a certain amount of energy. That amount of energy would shatter the moon, and turn a good deal of it into plasma. The math isn't that complicated. (And the debris would probably kill everything living thing on Earth even if the impact didn't.) -- Terry Austin "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. Moon floats in vacuum and earth gravity holding it in orbit! I'm saying to move Moons orbit maybe hundred thousand miles out! Once again, the amount of energy to do that in a short time will not move the moon, it will shatter is, and turn most if not all of it into plasma. No matter how many times you parrot the same stupid idea, it won't get any less stupid. So enjoy your stupid fantasy. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. Earth did not shatter when some thing hit it billions of years ago? It wasn't knocked out of its orbit, and as best we can tell, the entier surface was turned to molten rock. And it wasn't knocked out of its orbit. Your assumption is falls! You english is crap. And your brain is Jell-O. -- Terry Austin Vacation photos from Iceland: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/QaXQkB "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. Of course, Mr. **** for brain! What are you Indian? Not that we needed further proof, but racism is not possible for someone who isn't mentally retarded. Obvious, Indians are born **** heads! Only good for driving taxis! We know you're mentally retarded (we've always known, from your first post). There's no need to keep proving it, son.

Assuming that you would somehow also slow the lunar orbital speed at once to the right measure, then this would mean, as angular momentum is preserved, that days on Earth would be much longer than they are today (this is already happening, slowly, by c. 15 µs/a). -- PointedEars Twitter: @PointedEars2 Please do not cc me. / Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail. Close, but not quite correct. If somehow the Moon were bumped further away from the Earth at just the right angle to put it in a new orbit 1000 miles further away than it is now, the Earth's rotation rate would not change drastically. But the center of mass would be closer to the Earth's surface, so the Moon would orbit the Earth more slowly. Also, the tidal drag would be reduced, so the Earth's rotation would not slow as quickly as it is currently. If a huge asteroid did that, there would be a lot of solid and molten rock blasted away from the Moon. A lot of that would fall on the Earth, probably killing most/all life. |

The amount of energy involved to cause that would vaporize the planet and everything on it. That depends on how you define "short". If it took a thousand years for the Earth's inclination to change from 29 1/2 degrees to 45 degrees, that would still be a lot quicker than anyone is expecting for such a thing to happen, but it could be managed without vaporizing anything - but it would make it difficult for life to adapt in time.

But ideally by attrition, not cataclysm. (snip restored) You volunteering to go first? I guess you're unfamiliar with the meaning of "attrition". Feel free to attrit the hell out of yourself, son. Really, go for it. Attrition means the slow removal or wearing down of a group by removal of its members. Thus, a company can say that it has reached an agreement with its union to reduce its workforce "by attrition". In that case, what is meant is that the company won't fire or lay off anyone in order to achieve its goal, but will only reduce its workforce by not hiring replacements for employees who quit. On the other hand, attrition doesn't _have_ to mean that no active removal of group members is taking place. Thus, the verb "attrit" was used during the Vietnam War to refer to inflicting slow but steady casualties on the Viet Cong. So here Terry Austin has two points in his favor against Chris Peterson: 1) The _literal meaning_ of the word attrition doesn't preclude achieving population control by attrition involving killing people - just not a lot of them in a hurry. 2) In any case, what was posted was: "I'm all for a reduction of the human population back down to a billion or less. But ideally by attrition, not cataclysm." So, even if we accept that a sense of "attrition" was meant, as in the example of reducing a workforce by attrition, that involved no killing, just not replacing people as quickly as they died naturally, this is only an _ideal_, and apparently, therefore, if one is "all for" such a reduction in population, this implies one would still regard it as a positive development if such a reduction took place even in ways that fell somewhat short of the ideal. I mean, if you say you're "all for" reducing the human population to a billion or less, and then start getting picky and opposing anything that comes short of the _ideal_ way to achieve this, people are going to start to say you weren't really _that_ enthusiastic about population reduction after all! Thus, while I suspect that Chris Peterson never really *meant* to come out in support of, say, a global thermonuclear war as a somewhat less than perfect means to achieve an urgently needed result, and so Terry Austin is, no doubt, being disingenuous with respect to what Chris Peterson actually _intended_ to say... as far as what Mr. Peterson *actually* said, he has a point.

Of course he is not here to provide genuine and constructive discussion. Neither are you, and neither is Chris. He keeps making claims about how stupid you are supposed to be, although I can't guess how your name could have anything to do with it. He's not the only Chris *here* who is a drooling idiot.
