Compressed solar energy is too hype for any carbon-based life form to resist getting high on. no, other alien species are individualists who don’t put up with the dictates of big nanny government, because Carl Marks was never born there

Personally I'm an optimist and think the aliens are already here and will save us from extinction, if only because they need to harvest our sweet adrenochrome.

Maybe the circumstances that led to the formation of fossil fuels are unique and that's why we don't detect other civilizations: they just weren't able to industrialize without them. Liquified dinosaurs might be the great filter

euphronius posted:the rotation of the earth would (seem to) carry the explosion west The rotation of the earth does interesting things to prevailing winds. Near the equator they do go west. Those are the "trade winds". In the mid latitudes they go east, and the jet stream does that particularly well. It was how the Japanese were able to hook incendiary bombs to balloons and have the drift to the US. Near the poles, the winds go west again.

euphronius posted:I was assuming a Yellowstone blow up shoots burning earth higher up than the atmosphere (chixhulub style) Keep in mind that anything blasting up from the surface retains the rotational velocity of the planet. Any changes to this are meteorological in nature, giving the ejected mass a different velocity vector as forces act on it. More easily visualized, if Yellowstone happened on the Moon, and a rock was shot perfectly straight into space at a velocity lower than the moon's escape velocity, it would fall back to the moon in the same spot it left. Any deviation from this is a result of the rock's velocity vector not being perpendicular to the moon's surface. (Or I suppose perpendicular to an arbitrary line passing through the Moon's center of mass?) Angular momentum from the Moon's rotation is conserved, since there is no force acting against it in a vacuum. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something super important but I'm not seeing it at time of writing. Physics hard and I am dumb.

This is a movie that shows the spread of wildfires that were generated by the Chicxulub impact event 65 million years ago when large numbers of plants and animals, including dinosaurs, were extinguished. The fires were generated after debris ejected from the crater was lofted far above the Earth’s atmosphere and then rained back down through the atmosphere. Like countless trillions of meteors, the debris heated the atmosphere and surface temperatures so high that vegetation on the ground was ignited. Impact debris racing through the atmosphere was concentrated above the impact site (now Mexico) and the opposite side of the Earth (now the Indian Ocean). The Earth rotated beneath the returning plume of impact ejecta, so that the first migrated to the west. Most of the fires were ignited in the first day after the impact, although material continued to fall back into the atmosphere for another 3 days. This movie is an outcome of a study by David A. Kring and Daniel D. Durda, 2002, Trajectories and distribution of material ejected from the Chicxulub impact crater: Implications for postimpact wildfires, Journal of Geophysical Research 107, 22p. https://www.lpi.usra.edu/science/kring/Chicxulub/global-effects/

the big thing is if Yellowstone goes up it would probably cause the New Madrid fault to slip, causing a 8.0+ earthquake to hit the midwest & south long before the ash starts falling
