The question doesn't even make sense. You have to redefine it to "purpose" or some other word to even get started. The only literal interpretation is "what does 'life' mean?", which is just something like "a metabolic system capable of Darwinian evolution".

Yeah, you'd need to produce 2 nuclear power stations per week to keep up with growth in solar alone. It's going to have a part to play, but it's ever slipping into irrelevance.

The max on this graph is 21.2. Each year, the time when cooling begins is getting later. If it's anything like last year, it seems possible it could break 21.5. Where is this 21.9 coming from?

Ah, you're suggesting using RFC 3514. Good thinking.

Fractal universe theories have been proposed. I don't know many details myself, but just thought it was an example of how you can still have theoretically infinite detail within a finite system.

Fractals are infinite

I'm not sure this is going to help your mental state, but the word is "worst". A is worse than B, but C is the worst of all.

I said automaton wrong for years. I said auto-maton instead of au-tomoton. I still cringe a bit thinking about it :-/

Ferrock is an interesting new development. Stronger than concrete and absorbs CO2 when curing.
