I don't think the skyscraper would be rectangular but likely more circular which would make them extremely strong. Our current technologies could easily build them and with compartments, they would be relatively safe. Building them would be quite difficult.
A comparable dome on the other hand would be subject to incredible forces if it was to be a single unit but hold that of a skyscraper. A dome of say 1000 foot diameter, would experience some 2 billion pounds of force at sea level atmosphere. It scales up bad and for anything large it is not practical nor do we have the technology or materials. Small domes on the other hand are quite practical and make a great deal of sense and we could build that.
In reality, a skyscraper would just be a tube with a pressure dome on top.
Actually Manitoba Canada did one of the biggest experiments and the best that came out of it was productivity fell less than expected. So no your statement does not support that.
More so this post suggest more people would do things like art which is absolutely suggesting productivity will fall.
And seriously are you telling me you wouldn't retire earlier if you were paid a significant amount over your lifetime? I can bs on people working just as hard if they didn't have to.
So if 5 percent of the workforce pursues other endeavors such as the arts or retirees sooner, and certainly people will retire sooner, where do you find the people to take out your garbage when 5 percent of them quit?
Would you work harder or longer at your current job if you were paid say an unconditional 1000 per month and if not, how would productively increase to pay for it?
I will get down voted but no one will have a good answer for this.
She was never going to get those speaker invites. Not because she is a shit show but because she never had the ability or talent to do her job. This is all she has and as such, she went full in with the innate abilities she has. From that perspective, I can understand her motivation. Work with what you have. Much like Trump.
What I can't understand is why anyone elects this shit.
What makes you think more regulations automatically will make it safer? Possibly this guy wants to reduce the red tape that is making our systems antiquated and deterring people from working in that industry.
You could be wrong. People may have thought what you thought 100 years ago thinking it could not get much better.
But you are right on that we live in one of the most prosperous times in history. Was said well. Possibly the next big change will be the ability to control our DNA evolution or discover a real understanding of the human brain in ways that may result in a change to humanity that would be completely foreign to us. They might think that is the pinnacle.
I think you might be incorrect. To a stationary person on the ground, the light they emit would be red or blue shifted depending on the direction they are going. Red or Blue shifting is the same as saying your wave length is changing.
What I think you meant to say is that the speed of light does not change at all. Which is correct. That has nothing to do with the wave length which can change in frequency.
Edit. Will clarify. Only the stationary person will see the wavelength or other term, frequency change. The person in the spaceship will not notice any changes in the light they emit as it will be entirely cancelled out by the time dilation.
Absolutely. The wavelengths would be significantly increased or decreased depending if viewed from the outside standing standing still in respect to the spacecrafts motion.
From inside the spacecraft it would appear normal. What would seem weird is that objects you are traveling towards would appear much closer than if you were stationary to said objects. Objects behind you would appear much farther away.
They can open the doors slowly via some hydraulic method. I do not suspect during tests they use the rocket opening option which can open the door in two seconds.
Honestly just buy your own detectors. Then you are double protected.
Working parallel to that industry, those likely are just smoke detectors. CO2 typically you want low down close to the floor. I any seen gas detectors in motorhomes but also been low to the floor.
That poses an additional risk if you intentionally try and dispose of it. The key word being intent. I think if they catch you disposing it at say there receiving area prior to customs/security, that likely would be a more serious offense than declaring it at customs knowing at minimum it will be confiscated.
Most countries are very lenient if you unknowingly brought it contraband but immediately declared it. It becomes less clear when the contraband is illegal within the country. Ie. Bring some fruits and declare and they won't give a shit. Bring a pound of cocaine and even if you declare, they might still have issue with that.
Teachers molest and rape children at a higher rate than Catholic priests. I am not sure why we seem to focus on the Catholic religion for this and ignore where it is now common. It better said, why not focus on both?
What economic reality results in more houses being built with less investment.
We have a lack of houses. Lowering the price will not make houses materialize or do you think some magic will happen?
