  • You know it’s kind of funny in a way that people keep telling us to cut out all unnecessary spending to make it further than just paycheck to paycheck instead of just raising wages so we can afford those little things.
    But I don’t think they take into account that our economy is almost entirely supported by our endless consumerism.
    If we take their advice and stop buying ourselves little treats and toys the whole economy collapses, it’s completely unsustainable without them nickel and diming us to death yet they refuse to give us even pennies.
    I honestly wonder what their backup plan is when they eventually do get all the money and there’s none left for us to give them anymore.





  • The main reason why a star collapses is because it’s taking more energy to fuse elements than it gets from the fusion, this happens around the time the star starts fusing iron. Absorbing more energy from the Star during that phase would actually exacerbate the problem. You would need to find a way to inject more energy into the core, but not so much that it would exceed the gravitational pressure and cause the star to rip itself apart. It would be like trying to balance a bowling ball on a pin during an earthquake until the fuel ran out. And the fuel would run out very fast.

    It would take Godlike levels of technology and it’s still unlikely to work, even with that level of tech.
