Question for Fraser, I have not heard the astronauts tell us if they can see anything on the shadow side of the moon. Is there enough light, and if there is enough light, where does it come from? Stars?? I did hear them they were looking for impact flashes and indeed they did see some. But can they make out craters?
Just as we have moon-shine on Earth at night, the Moon has Earth-shine that dimly lights up parts of the surface that are otherwise dark.
Surely, the lonely galaxy would have 1 sun still orbiting the black hole? There is no more 3 body problem.
See David Kipping Cool Worlds. He has a long piece about his experience. He was both very happy with what he could do but also pointed out that there will be massive effects. I think he was not talking about consumers models but more advanced stuff. However before you make more comments about AI it is a MUST to listen to him.
