Please provide your robust scientific evidence that "humans cannot evolve to survive Hiradzerogee (sic)."
I asked YOU for some putative 'adaptations' that humans could conceivably evolve to cope with the conditions you suggested ... and ANY Definition of Human would not survive those conditions .
Well, first of all, not all of zero gee is "Hirad," now is it? Most of interstellar space is anything but, and humans have survived bursts of gamma rays from supernova for millions of years. Indeed, it may be cosmic radiation that caused the genetic mutations that caused humans to evolve in the first place. And an "adaptation" comprised of sufficient intelligence and technical skill to create a fusion power source that can generate an electromagnetic shield against cosmic radiation as a part of a generational intergalactic spaceship is hardly implausible.

Oh, also please provide your robust scientific evidence that no "Definition of Human" (sic) would survive "the conditions suggested," whatever those conditions may be, since I did not suggest any conditions.



Ahhh Tech will solve it all ,but that's no evolve is it ? ...OK dream on whatever ...... honestly can I recommend the writing of L-Ron I think you would enjoy it, it would fit in nicely with your world view .

Hey, he believes in the confidence fairy, and claims the night's not dark. What's a little Thetan space alien fairy story gonna hurt?

So, Seth's point is a hard vacuum is a great place for life? I didn't expect less from him.

No, I think he split. I think his bit about the night not being dark kinda conflicts with Olbers' Paradox and he can't figure out what to say to it, so every time I mention it he splits.

The fact that there are light years of dark in between the points of light don't bother him none atall, do it?

You can read a newspaper 20,000 feet from a searchlight, no problem. It takes an entire galaxy's light to make out the pictures on that same newspaper on a moonless night.

I've seen my shadow on the ground in the light of the Milky Way. Doesn't mean it's not dark at night.

Well, maybe the vacuum is a great place for Seth... outside like inside the head and all that....

Maybe we should send him there and see how he adapts?

but does it reproduce a hi rad environment too? You need high rad for fast mutation (or that's what my mentor, Pr Richards says)
