Maybe he just unjoined?
How do you do that, if it is even possible? :) Not that i want to unjoin, just how you do it? I have never seen an unjoin button.

I guess so, unfortunately he took replies to his question as a mockery in his regards. It happens in an international forum. He also surely didn't read SpaceEngine FAQ.

It's an okey theory. I have even speculated on this myself before. But there are better conclusions that can be made.

Some interesting slow motion recordings of nuclear detonations:
That last one is extremely impressive.

I would say the 'Strange walking ape with sticks' will lose anyway.

The only question is whether, after the departure of the 'ape', enough of the rest of the earth's ecosystem is left, so that life can recover.

The Earth's ecosystem has survived massive global apocalypse inducing meteor strikes, super volcano eruptions, multiple ice ages even complete snowball earth and possibly a gamma ray burst.  The ecosystem seems to be able to spring back from anything.  It might not look like it does today but it'll spring back.

The word "skyskraper" in Norwegian means what it looks like in English, but in Norwegian "sky" is a cloud, which actually is a more fitting name than the English original.  Mini-quiz: Where am I today?
