We think of distance as something tangible. What if it's not? What if it's just RT? Like distance in the matrix is not really distance.

Leaving for Speakerconf tomorrow morning early. What will a gaggle of gurus garble at each other?

My daughter called me this morning asking me what I was doing. "Calculating the evaporation rate of micron sized black holes." I replied.
unclebobmartin
I have to think that such a cloud would appear non-baryonic.
unclebobmartin
The little holes would try to evaporate, but would pick up mass from CMB photons and cosmic rays. Where is equilibrium?
unclebobmartin
Or an average separation of about a million kilometers.
unclebobmartin
A cloud of micron sized black holes with the density of a molecular cloud, might have one hole in 10^27th cubmic meters.
unclebobmartin
A rarefied cloud of micron sized black holes would have one hole per 1e27 cubic meters.
unclebobmartin
Micron sized black hole will evaporate in 200 billion years and has the mass of a cubic kilometer of water.
unclebobmartin
What if dark matter is composed of a rarified fog of bacterium sized black holes?
unclebobmartin
It's snowing.

Whenever I hear the word "Certification" uttered I want to haul out my BFG9000 and blast away in the general direction of the utterance.

The energy required to lift the rock from the Moon would be about 1% of the energy released We could use lunar solar collectors.
unclebobmartin
Of course this would reduce the mass of the moon by .0000000001 per year. So we'd only have enough power for ten billion years.
unclebobmartin
Each 1000 ton rock has the energy of a Hiroshima bomb. About 16kt. So we don't want to miss any of them.
unclebobmartin
And if we send rocks of 1000 metric tons, then we'd only need a million rocks per year, or two per minute.
unclebobmartin
Anyway, one billion rocks per year would contain all the power we'd need. That's just 31 per second.

TANSTAAFL! I am Adam Selene!

If I did the math right, a metric ton falling from the moon has 60gJoules or about 17000kwh of energy.
