Avengers Infinity War: space mapping, Dyson spheres, and the purple coin purse
b'Thanos \\n\\n
Josh Brolan was so good! And the character itself too! Coin purse chin. The story of how a light flick to the coin purse could have saved the world.
\\n\\n Economic modeling \\n\\nThanos breaks out the Excel spreadsheets. Productively employing the bottom trillionty billion around the galaxy. Ultimate utilitarianism.
\\n\\n The upper atmosphere \\n\\nAtmospheric pressure. Hypoxia.
\\n\\n Space mapping and orienteering \\n\\nVisualizing three-dimensional routes as two-dimensional on Earth-maps. Visualizing four-dimensional routes as three three physical dimensions plus time.
\\n\\n Star forges \\n\\nForging in the heart of a neutron star vs heart-of-a-neutron-star-adjacent. Breaking assumptions. Neutron stars. Facts and figures and analogies. Converting teaspoons of neutron star matter into 5-Dollar Footlongs. Thor jelly vs Thor Jam and their relative whelmingness.
\\n\\n Dyson Spheres \\n\\nDisovering that Dyson\\u2019s original conception (1960) of the Dyson \\u201csphere\\u201d actually better fits the modern description of a Dyson \\u201cswarm.\\u201d Different Dyson sphere variants. Statites.
\\n\\n Vision based on movement \\n\\nBut it isn\\u2019t! It\\u2019s contrast-based! Toad vision feature detection. Jurassic Park confusion.
\\n\\n Iron Man \\n\\nNanotech. Programming nanobots to eat brains - or gloves!
