ok you can in fact achieve infinite growth within the physical universe by dumping exponentially increasing amounts of matter into a black hole

until you run out of things to dump in the black hole of course

Universe is infinitely expanding outwards, so I can’t see how you could run out of matter. Universe supports infinite growth, we just need the tech for it.

The perception of the universe from EARTH is that light appears to be shifting away from us when we do not have a research station outside of the solar system to validate the claims.

We need extra-solar research to prove if this is real or not.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if those "live on a cruise liner" ideas don't go horribly wrong in the same way the Biosphere projects have.

"Let's collect a ton of fragile upper-middle-class to genuinely *rich* people together in a microcosmic environment for a long period of time. What could go wrong?"

My guy, have you heard the Good Book Of Solow?

Blog detailing our societal game of chicken with reality posted:

In the distant future, aliens come to Earth. They find a planet devoid of life. Looking closer, the aliens see that life on Earth was once abundant, but was wiped out by a mass extinction. Curiously, this event was driven not by geological disaster, but by one of the extinct species itself. In an orgy of consumption, an odd little animal put the planet under enough stress to drive itself —and the rest of life — extinct.

Then comes a startling discovering. Preserved in the sediment lies a document written by a member of the doomed species. What secrets does it contain? The aliens work for years to translate it, hoping that it offers a clue about what drove the species to overconsume. And indeed it does. The document heralds a remarkable delusion: “The world can, in effect, get along without natural resources.”

What a naive animal, the aliens conclude. While sucking the planet dry, the animal proclaimed its independence from natural resources. No wonder it went extinct.

When I initially read Aurora by Red Mars Man, I kinda disliked the idea that the generation ship would be a bad idea to try and reach an alien world and explore it because so many factors couldn't be accounted for or controlled. After thinking about it a bit more, I find it somehow more unrealistic in not having the whole thing fall apart before it even leaves Sol, let alone gets to another system.

Much like international waters, there's nobody in charge of regulating space. We are primed for some serious comedy from private industry when they start putting up things people are meant to live in. All those redundant safety measures NASA and co. put into their stations and long mission ships are sooooooooo inefficient after all.

Yeah especially when you can mock the same poster for thinking that the Biden-Harris Administration has single-handedly saved the climate by paying oil and gas companies to pump more oil and gas using co2 because a blog told them so.
