I did miss out on OMNI, cos I am still pretty young. Popular Science deserves the trash bin, or should I say the recycling bin.Ah, Popular Science, a common vector for "futurist" stuff. Leaving HS and getting better reading material got me away from that one. You missed out on OMNI. That mag was weird.
I am aware of how young you are. I have older sweatshirts from college.I did miss out on OMNI, cos I am still pretty young. Popular Science deserves the trash bin, or should I say the recycling bin.
I really don't recall. It tended to be on my "out of other stuff to read" list when I was in the HS library. PopSci, PopMech, Time, USNWR (we had Newsweek at home), Science News, Discover, SciAm all came first.Was OMNI magazine any good?
My uncle in USA gave us a box of popsci mags with from around the year 2014.Ah, Popular Science, a common vector for "futurist" stuff. Leaving HS and getting better reading material got me away from that one. You missed out on OMNI. That mag was weird.
What would be considered new?They are both old planets. All the planets in the solar system formed from the accretion cloud after our sun formed ~4.5 billions years ago.
What would be considered new?
The universe is about 14 billion years old. Earth is about 4.5 billion years old, that pretty new right?
Or would a planet need to be much younger to be considered new?
I guess our planet is probably middle aged since the Sun will run out of material in about 5 billion years.
Anyway, just being a bit silly here, but I don't know on a planatery scale what would be considered new.
Ones that crash.We already have driverless cars.
Ones that crash.Do you feel that a change from silicon electronics to photonic computing might change self driving?
The tech is almost here, but is not ready:
Optical computing: the power of light
Optical computing is a lesser-known technology than closely related fiber optics. Here's everything you need to know.techhq.com
There were so many autopilot crashes, there is a Wiki page devoted to Tesla self-driving crashes:
It may be one of the problems, but it's not a problem that you said occurred. You said that losing Earth's magnetic field would cause increased mutation and evolution because of increased radiation and toxic chemicals on the surface. Neither source you cite says anything at all about your claims.Losing the Ozone layer from chemical reactions with solar wind and cosmic rays is just one of the problem.
You might note that this study has been harshly criticized; see Comment on “A global environmental crisis 42,000 years ago” and here.

That is true, but photonics would make it faster, just as GPUs made computers faster."Photonics" won't change the algorithms.

Interesting. In that case, the geomagnetic field is almost useless except for protecting satellites and aiding navigation if you don't have access to GPS.You might note that this study has been harshly criticized; see Comment on “A global environmental crisis 42,000 years ago” and here.
When you said none. UV radiation is mentioned in one. UV radiation can cause mutation in living cells which can lead to cancer.
This article mentions solar wind particles contribute to ozone loss (perhaps, temporarily). And that is with our geomagnetic field at healthy levels. Imagine what would happen if geomagnetic field is a lot weaker or even gone.
Less ozone means more UV rays making it to the ground.
