  • I would honestly be very surprised if any Republican politicians actually care about sex or gender. I think they’re just evil and those are convenient issues to divide the working class. When you don’t have popular policy in real issues, you need to make up some fake ones to get people to still support you.







  • Yeah, but it does have 10^67 years to catch it.

    Assuming the light isn’t bending at all, I think it should get about 890 watts of light, or 2.8x10^10 joules per year (or 3.1x10^-7 kg per year?) from the sun, which should be enough to cause it to grow, at least while the sun is still around. I expect it would get a lot more mass from gasses, meteors, and dust in that time frame. Based on your numbers above I think it should only be losing like 2x10^-40 kg per year if it was losing mass at a constant rate.

    There’s only about 50 watts per square meter out that far from the sun! We get about 1300 here on Earth. Jupiter’s orbit is a lot larger compared to Earth’s than people normally think.
