We can go out laughing. Which is a good thing, better than weeping.

I know, even an extinction event becomes natural, from that perspective. Doesn't matter, it's still a 'natural process' although the reason for it are us.

And Zer0, I don't think it can work, not as it looks today. Russia inside NATO. To work it should have been done 70 to 80 years ago, after the second world war. It's very similar to the way we handle global warming. By growing distrust.

As for what will happen Zer0. some of what Alan wrote will definitely happen. Everything migrating to the poles. In the mean time we will prepare for wars over it, and keep building out our festungs, to quell those migrations. From those we exploit you might expect a lot more of what we call 'terrorism' but I don't think it will be 'Mad Max' with busloads of people coming with small arms. They will have a killing field of their own instead, starvation's, death and civil unrest. And we will hide behind those walls to watch it, bureaucracy hiding it from the rest of us, a little like how those concentration camps in Nazi hands came to be.

The problem with that will be that we fight the wrong enemy.
and that is funny, very human and quite funny.

Why I don't agree with Zer0 about our ability to survive, no matter what we do, or don't? Well, it's about time scales. It's going too fast.

And yes and no Paul. I like science a lot better than catastrophes, but if I think we're going to one I will write about it.

I was right ES, it was interesting :)
Seems like an argument for photons, instead of waves? Don't know if anyone remember but we used to have arguments about that here, and I've seen it elsewhere too, where the most reasonable idea still seemed to be waves. Few accepting the duality as a 'real phenomena'. And now the wind has turned the other way, with new generations of fundamental science. It reminds me a lot of this discussion. Check out juanrga.

It's weird though, and I think it says something about how we want the world to be. Because it goes back to Newtonian ideas, both of them. Waves and Particles. One or the other as a simple definition of forces. If we take the example of propagation in a vacuum it doesn't really matter if it is a 'wave' or a 'photon' doing it. Either something propagates a distance in time, or there is something entirely different going on, making us think it's a 'propagation' involved to it.

But I will add global warming to it, and topsoil, and water, and groundwater projections. As well as deforestation, wildfires, species extinctions, urbanization's and other infra structures, pollution's, chemicals, industrial farming, pesticides, mono cultures, and that list doesn't stop.

There are indirect proofs for light behaving as EM, oscillating, if that is what you're thinking of ES?
This one?
" Another idea I had how to show that light is an electromagnetic wave would be to use a stronger (and well cooled) antenna (a stick in which electrons can be accelerated) than Hertz. The electromagnetic waves in the antenna have the frequency in which the electrons move up and down inside. So if one would increase the frequency more and more (by applying strong alternating voltage with ever increasing frequency), one should eventually see these radiations in form of light (as manifestation of the osciallations of electrons which are electromagnetic waves).

It's a interesting question, what made you want to ask there?
