From the pov of an organism in a high-oxygen atmosphere, thats true. But on a planet with little to no oxygen in the atmosphere, it would have to be added separately, the same way we add fuel
To be fair, the droplet wasn’t exactly a bumper car. It could ram and destroy several ships before your human reaction time could tell which way it went. It went so fast it could pass through a ship leaving a hole behind and white hot metal and it could turn on a dime at full speed.
It was definitely badass, an excellent ‘inscrutable monster’ type of foe.
I’ll say though, the droplet was so far ahead of humanity that it didn’t matter what they were prepared for. The droplet could’ve just as easily been a guided projectile (which it was) and it wouldn’t have made a difference.
200 kph fastball takes 310 years, given your probable age being >17 and a life expectency of smth in the 70s, I doubt that you have the ability to confirm that you can…
You also can’t just scale things up and have them work the same way. I forget if there’s a proper name for this but weight is related to volume which is the cube of the dimension, but pressure is related to area which is the square of the dimension. So giant king kongs ankles aren’t looking so great right now as the pressure will increase with scale.
Ideally you aren’t slamming all of your weight on your ankles with every step though. If you do that at human scale with normal human weight, there won’t be much of your ankles left either. Your muscles work as a spring to catch most of the force and they also grow cubicly. So i think the law cannot be applied this directly to biological systems. Of course you are right, that King Kong would probably not just be a scaled up Gorilla, but also altered in his shape.
I mean down here we just embrace the kudzu. Ok, that’s not true. Down here if you sit for too long, but not as long as you’d think. The kudzu embraces you.
You’re lucky. It’s a term used by conservatives (people who oppose the concept of morality unless it’s where they pretend to have morals in order to commit awful acts against others) to belittle people who think morals aren’t “for fags”
