|content=I am not looking to “Escape Earth”. I want to escape running a single undiversified experiment in human consciousness survivability.

Where I appear to differ w @elonmusk is just that I don’t yet see the claimed diversity benefit from Mars via [[Chemical Rockets|Rockets]]. But I may not get his plan.

|content=It’s as if we’ve got one really nice house, one shack and one lean-to. It’s like deciding that if the US doesn’t work out we can move to Rockall if we just spruce it up or Sealand.

And that’s not even the main problem. The problem is even *that* is not sufficiently diversified.

|content=The idea that we can’t spend money on trying to diversify humanity beyond one planetary surface with nukes, bio hacking &amp; climate issues until we have solved problems here is ludicrous.

By the same token, [[Chemical Rockets|rockets]] can’t be the answer to spacefaring. Our solar neighborhood sucks.

So I get taking #btc. And I get not taking #btc. But not doing it to undo it over energy(?) concerns.

With [[Chemical Rockets|Rockets]], you can maybe get Mars/Moon for planetary diversification. That’s *not* enough even *if* you get it done (a huge ‘if’).

Relativity is what must be superceded.

|content=I’m usually see @elonmusk as one of the few seeing our long game. This feels bizarre so I’m not getting something.

Why do #BTC only to undo it in the face of the easily foreseeable? This and focus on [[Chemical Rockets|Rocket propulsion(?)]] over fundamental physics are 2 things I clearly don’t get.

|content=I mean obviously our government and science establishment should be the ones leading this...but that currently makes no sense in their degraded states.

The universities could do it. But they are too degraded.

Perhaps China is the only capable player left in the game. Sad if so.

|content=Makes sense. I guess. Sorta. It’s just super disappointing that we aren’t focused on actually saving ourselves. 

And slightly bewildering. If not @elonmusk who?? Jim Simons? Yuri Milner? Anyone?

There is no one with both the vision &amp; money to organize this.

Oh well. Onward...

|content=I think that’s great. Where we differ is that I don’t think Earth, our Moon &amp; Mars plus space stations connected by [[Chemical Rockets|rockets]] give us much real diversity. It’s barely doable. But assume you could make it work. I would want to run 1000s of uncorrelated experiments as most will fail.

|content=Let’s be clear about this weird sounding issue.

@elonmusk is one of the only minds properly focused in public on the issue of the current danger to human consciousness from having all known intelligent life in the universe on a single terrestrial surface. His top idea: [[Chemical Rockets|rockets]].

|content=And if we are stuck in this solar system with the physics we know there is only one good surface and two marginal ones.

Faster than light spacetime travel is bullshit. But going beyond Einstein is not. 

It’s unbelievably hard, but everything Elon does is hard. Like hope.

|content=Now he may have a reason. But I have never heard him address this so it just makes no sense to me. No one is taking the need to go beyond Einstein seriously so we are pretty much trapped here in this solar system with the physics we know. That means three terrestrial surfaces.

multi multi billionaire (12 digits!) as smart as Elon w a physics background could diversify &amp; place a small 2nd bet on rendering General Relativity a mere effective theory by single handedly fixing physics.

|content=We should talk. But you should also be talking to @stephen_wolfram, @DavidDeutschOxf, @notevenwrong (Woit), Penrose, @garrettlisi, Julian Barbour, to say nothing of Nima, Lisa, Ed, Juan, Nati, etc. Our window is closing from groupthink and neglect.

But you do you. And good luck!

|content=@ProNaif No. GR is “True” but as an effective theory. We don’t know what happens in a deeper theory.

|content=@benkellyreid The biggest issue is committing to a diverse portfolio of research programs over time.

The less cash, the less time &amp; diversity. So even $1000 dollars helps. But not that much because you want to say “Here’s a commitment that allows a community to take longterm collective risk.”

|content=@benkellyreid If someone says “you are fully funded for 2 years” I don’t know that the recipient takes risk. 

Tell someone “You and 5 colleagues are fully funded for 10 years at levels that cover your opportunity costs.” It gets more expensive given the skill set and it’s use in finance/CS.

|content=@ks_kulk I would imagine. But many people think Relativity is an absolute theory rather than an effective one. It’s very weird.

|content=@bryce_waddell @stephen_wolfram @DavidDeutschOxf @notevenwrong @garrettlisi Wildly disagree. Resource constraints kept old programs alive which could not make contact with physical reality well past their exploratory honeymoon periods. It is almost 40 years since the G-S anomaly cancellation result. Yet, here we are.

|content=@very_real_guy @elonmusk Elon and I barely intersect despite many common friends and colleagues. Don’t know him at all so I can’t comment. But he has dropped more than one knowing comment about advanced physics theory (e.g. 6-dimensional superconformal field theory) like he is signaling. Maybe nothing.🤷‍♀️

|content=@elonmusk Do you yourself have a fundamental theory? Do you have a theory group working on a T.O.E.?

It would make sense with your background and attempts to keep us from self-extinguishing. If it is quiet, there is no need to answer. If not, it would be great to know. Thx.

|content=@very_real_guy @elonmusk He had made other noises. Mostly it’s [[Chemical Rockets|rockets]], crypto, batteries and engineering. But there is more going on. He clearly knows that Mars ain’t gonna be sufficient. I can’t shake the feeling he deeply gets it at another level from public Elon which is more cryptic and chaotic.
