    In one of their multitude of inter-nation conflicts; two cities were consumed in nuclear fire. On any sane world; these areas would be abandoned and the area around them a quarantine zone; the humans obviously not being fully sane, rebuilt and flourish.

    This is related to the fact that humans along with most of the inhabitants of Sol3, are highly resilient to damage; of all kinds.

    Humans reproduce slowly; but even though they generally reproduce not far above replacement rate, their resilience means their population still grows at an exponential rate. And on top of that; their advances in medical technology are on the verge of massive life extension. Soon they will have to move out into space; the galaxy better get ready for them.

    You are applying too much classical thinking.

    Something in superposition isn’t in some unknowable but definite position before measurement.

    It is all possible states, at the same time.

    Einstein famously did not like the implications of QM, saying “god does not play dice with the universe”, though his work on the photo electric effect helped pave the way for QM.

    This is just a misunderstanding of superposition.

    A superposition is being in all possible states before “collapsing” into a defined state, after interacting with something (a measuring device).

    So Schrodinger’s immigrant will be in all possible states; they are obviously lazy welfare bums; whilst simultaneously taking all the jobs; and being so poor that they eat your pets; and having the time to organize groups to go raping; whilst also being trustworthy enough to be a housekeeper or nanny

    Well there is that protective layer in the atmosphere that we fucked up.

    The ozone layer is slowly healing itself, but we still have a long way to go before it is stable again.

    Also as others pointed out, we don’t work the fields and spend most of our time outside any more…so the natural protection isn’t building up like it did in the past.
