Future of Drivetrains, No Gears, No Chain.

Radiation naturally implies large 'radiators'. The International Space Station manages heat using internal water loops, external ammonia loops, and massive exterior radiators. And when pumps fail they have to be replaced. Also when electronic memory fails, it needs replacing too. What's the cost to lift one ton into near earth orbit? 3 million on modern reusable rockets, $10 million to $25 million per ton using a dedicated small rocket or legacy system. Of course that 3 million tag is for a major lift, a small "fix it" lift would be an order of magnitude higher. Now why go to all that expense when you can simply build them on earth beside a river? Where dedicated staff are on hand to resolve problems. The whole space data center thing is just more Elon Hype I'd say, designed to keep the share price high. Like the rehashed Mars base concept.

Actually light can be both particle and electromagnetic wave.
This is quite a complex area of physics

Yeah I remember that from physics class

A photon is a partical when it's flying alone, but when it's flying with friends it's more of a wave event.

And yet the sun conducts it's energy to earth every day through the vacuum of space

the sun radiates,of course there are particles as well.

friends tend to wave at friends even if you are a discreet packet of energy.

when is nothing something?(or what was here before the "big bang" (

And spicy BBQ is a great way to make some heat. Tall natural redheads doing yoga poses with sheer tops also transmit heat.
Off topic: A friend recorded a football match this morning while out. We both avoided any news and watched it after spicy BBQ tonight. It was the best game ever. Egypt Vs. Argentina. The underdog Egypt was up 3-0 then got a point removed after a replay of an encounter minutes before far on the other side of the field that had nothing to do with the goal and was not called at the time. 2-0. Then Argentina went off-sides to make a goal with no penalty. 2-1. Messi made a goal. 2-2. Then Argentina made one more goal. Argentina won 3-2 in the final seconds. Egypt was the better te

which sorta seems to be falling out of favor) mmm! love naturally curly redheads( must be a Celtic thing)

An auto-shifter derailleur, that's trippy, I'd like to see a vid of it in operation on the road like. Must have had issues though since it never took off.

Yet, never both at the same time. It all depends what you are looking for.

This may not be as simple though as latest quantum mechanics experiments have shown.
