Reality as a Continuum

Reality may appear as a continuum, or something that continues temporally even though time may be an illusion created by membranes or some other field phenomenon moving past. Time may be more relativistic than one thinks; it may be so relativistic that, unified with space, it hasn't an independent existence.

The continuum may exist solely in the physical as one might logically expect since people are just a tiny part of a large structure and cannot see the end of it in any direction. Humanity are large clumps of quanta themselves embedded in the Higgs field and given a third dimension instead of being massless two-dimensional quanta that could become part of a sentient being if time were ever to be and become.  https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU

One Shouldn't Get All Misty About Below the Plank Length Alternative Realities

The Plank length is nothing more than a unit of measure. Plank wrote... “it is possible to set up units for length, mass, time and temperature, which are independent of special bodies or substances, necessarily retaining their meaning for all times and for all civilizations, including extraterrestrial and non-human ones, which can be called "natural units of measure".”

Physicists have commented that the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle and additional factors make it impossible with quantum mechanics to determine below Plank’s unit of measure the location of a particle. That is meaningful in case gravity has an origin below that length. There is nothing about extra-dimensions or extra-universes hidden below the plank length, if any, that are known.

A wikipedia quote; “The term Planck scale refers to quantities of space, time, energy and other units that are similar in magnitude to corresponding Planck units. This region may be characterized by particle energies of around 1019 GeV or 109 J, time intervals of around 5×10−44 s and lengths of around 10−35 m (approximately the energy-equivalent of the Planck mass, the Planck time and the Planck length, respectively).”

I wrote a science fiction novel that is free to download concerning God’s relationship to a hypothetical Multiverse theologically. Inaccessible realms and noumena for-itself are accessible to science fiction writers.

Gemeni Avoided the Math of Calculations for Relocating Planets

I  asked Gemini several questions about relocating Europa to a safe place closer to Earth and finally pairing it with Venus in a binary orbit. While not quite a nattering nabob of negativism, Gemini was pessimistic about the engineering to move planets because techniques to do so haven't yet been invented and published.

There should be a little how to book with dozens of techniques. It seemed it didn't want to do the math. Maybe the free version eschews calculations of  that sort; something to be aware of. It did write this however...

"The idea of having Europa and Venus orbit each other is a fascinating thought experiment, but it presents significant challenges and considerations:

Potential Advantages (Theoretical):

Combined Resources:

Venus has a dense atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide, while Europa has abundant water ice. Combining these resources could potentially create a more habitable environment.

Radiation Shielding:

Venus's thick atmosphere could provide some shielding against radiation, which is a major concern for Europa.

Orbital Stability (Potentially):

If the two bodies were carefully placed in a stable binary orbit, it could theoretically provide long-term stability.

Significant Challenges:

Orbital Mechanics:

Establishing and maintaining a stable binary orbit between two bodies of such different sizes and characteristics would be incredibly complex.

The gravitational interactions between the two bodies, as well as the Sun and other planets, would need to be precisely calculated and managed.

Temperature Differences:

Venus has an extremely hot surface temperature, while Europa is very cold. Reconciling these temperature extremes would be a massive engineering challenge.

Atmospheric Differences:

Venus's dense, toxic atmosphere is vastly different from Europa's near-vacuum. Creating a habitable atmosphere would require extensive modification.

Relocation Energy:

Moving both Venus and Europa to a suitable location and establishing a stable binary orbit would require astronomical amounts of energy.

Tidal Forces:

The tidal forces exerted by each body on the other would have to be calculated, and accounted for. These forces could cause extreme geological activity.

Planetary Protection:

If Europa has life, contaminating it with earth life, or venusian materials, would be a huge concern.

Feasibility:

Currently, this concept is far beyond our technological capabilities.

It would require breakthroughs in gravitational engineering, propulsion, and terraforming.

The energy requirements alone would be staggering.

In conclusion:

Therefore, while it is a fun concept to consider, it is not within the realm of possible engineering for the foreseeable future.

While the idea of Europa and Venus orbiting each other is intriguing, it presents immense challenges.

The orbital mechanics, temperature differences, and atmospheric disparities would be extremely difficult to overcome."

Mind is Under-Appreciated

 Robert Laughlin, a winner of a Nobel in physics published a book named 'A Different Universe; Reinventing Physic from the Bottom Up". He described consciousness as an emergent property from the field it exists in as a fundamental phase change. The inference is that the Newtonian sort of causal relationships and the ability to predict the determined future based on the present positions of all known elements of the construction that is the Universe, if that were possible, would not apply to the human mind. Mind is a different than material phenomenon. People underrate and under appreciate how marvelous it is and the way that it differs from thoughtless mass. https://suno.com/.../67d4b343-b219-41f5-8c72-1fa6be8c20be

One Global Government is a Dystopian Dream of Dictators

Nationalism is a reflection of politics at a local level enabling self-determination and democracy. People have fought quite hard to be free of empire and oppression foreign and domestic. Freedom attained within a national boundary is far better than being a subject of monolithic authoritarianism. The problem with government and humanity is a lack of adequate intellect and knowledge in leadership able to choose good policy directives. A global government rule has no firewalls to contain wrong political leads.People that would trust some kind of planetary elite government would need to lack confidence in their own political competence to acquiesce as subjects. 

Humanity has simply expanded its numbers because of advances in science beyond the world's safe carrying capacity. There are several possible positive responses to the challenges of that, yet as I mentioned, the intellect and knowledge is lacking. The EU leadership for example has become swollen with power and seeks to protract war with Russia instead of peace and work on actual existential environmental challenges in regard to maladapted political economy. In response to swollen foreign global power units seeking to take over their nations and render them powerless subjects, people will fight. There isn't a substitute for smart and cooperative international leadership making good choices.

Red Chris Mine in Canada Presents Dangers for American Fish Downstream

 There is a proposed expansion of the Red Chris mine in Canada upstream of the Stikine River from Wrangell. It is an open pit mine and they hope to make tunnels through substrate and then blast to collapse the overhead and extract low grade ore from the  rip rap for rock crushing.  The mining technique is called block caving.

Water running through new underground channels take toxic minerals with it, and that can persist for centuries. Good luck with getting Canadians to be concerned about downstream American fish. There are a couple of books on U.S. experience with the problem. I doubt the current President would care.

What Goes on Mars, Stays on Mars?

There are possible signs of microbial life on Mars recently photographed by a Mars Rover. Microbes are everywhere on Earth. Most microbes are harmless or positive and some cause sickness and/or death. Martian microbes could still exist in ice or wet drip collection places underground, yet even dead microbes in dust could potentially end human life on Earth. Why gamble on decontamination that's 100% effective 100% of the time?

https://www.space.com/space-exploration/search-for-life/poppy-seeds-and-leopard-spots-on-mars-could100-hint-at-ancient-microbial-life

The U.S. Government may want to consider developing a plan to stop return missions to Earth from Mars until after that planet is thoroughly explored and tested for hidden microbial life given its extreme potential danger. What goes to Mars should remain on Mars.

While Martian exploration is early experimentation with remote control stone cutting and shelter construction could be done with AI and robotic mechanism designed to cut stone, move in and build infrastructure for community halls that could be covered with stress-tensioned fabrics in some cases, or stone. The first large human shelters built 14,000 years ago provide some ideas that cold be adapted for Mars habitations above ground in addition to cave dwelling.
