Reply to comment by the_fungible_man in Energy can not dissappear or be created, only change form, right? Earth is blasted by the sun 24/7, where does the excess energy go, because I guess it doesn't stay here or we'd cook by mr_greenmash

Heavy nucleus were forged in a Star. Not ours though

Geothermal energy is basically gravitational energy from the formation of the solar system. Also related to the sun.

99.99??% of this energy is reflected or reemited by earth

The problem is that this tiny fraction can eventually increase the total energy inside earth. Depends on how well earth can radiate energy.

But ideally we let it all go except for a tiny fraction that builds biomass. Basically every form of energy on earth available to humanity or not comes from the sun’s energy.

I developed a DSSS steganography in 2003... to my surprise the Army has a patent on it from 1999

Reply to Danish waters contain about 100,000 times more plankton than microplastics — and if microplastic particles enter their mouths, copepods usually spit them out by marketrent

So microplastics don’t affect the food chain in Danish waters
