00:00Elon Musk recycled and regurgitated an older idea about solar geoengineering.
00:05His proposed fix is simple, is deploy lots of AI-driven sentient satellites to block
00:11the sun's light from reaching the earth.
00:14First of all, I'll elucidate the matter a bit for the audience.
00:19The sensational idea is that you place blocker screens between the sun and the earth.
00:35It is because of the presence of CO2 that we have life on the planet, otherwise the planet
00:40would be extremely cold.
00:42But the excess concentration of the same gas is what we are calling as the climate change
00:49or climate catastrophe.
00:51So the brilliant idea here is that keep increasing the CO2 concentration and simply reduce the
01:00amount of sunlight reaching the planet so that we can keep releasing more and more CO2 without
01:07having to face the consequences of it.
01:10That's the idea.
01:10How is that idea to be actually manifested?
01:15By having a large number of screens between the sun and the earth at a certain point between
01:24the sun and the earth where their gravitational pulse balance out.
01:28And that screen will not allow around 1.8 or 2% of the sun's radiation to reach the planet
01:36and meanwhile you can keep emitting carbon dioxide.
01:38You need to have a launch station on the moon and it is from that launch station that you
01:43will launch so many satellites that they will form a screen between the sun and the earth.
01:53The number of the spacecraft was like of the order of trillions, not billions but trillions of
01:59them and the total mass was about 20 million tons.
02:04This 20 million tons mass is to be launched from the surface of the moon in a stationary sort
02:10of an orbit.
02:11It cannot be stationary and that's why he is probably talking of sentience and AI in this
02:17project.
02:17It's another matter that when it comes to AI and when it comes to launching spacecraft,
02:23both of these are sectors where the same person has deep business interests.
02:29these are pretty much the three world to work together.
02:36Thank you for being told!
