Presumably the latter is wrong else black holes wouldn't exist 11:34 < TMA> nmz787_: eh? getting closer to the sun makes the _year_ shorter. it also accelerates locking rotation with the sun which would make days _longer_ up to the limit of ifinite days long when earth faces sun with the same side always 11:39 < TMA> light is light (pardon the pun) the mass lost by radiation is not significant enough in the short term but it is nonzero hence black hole evaporation by Hawking radiation 12:28 -!- Gooberpatrol66 [~Gooberpat@user/gooberpatrol66] has quit [Quit: Konversation terminated!] 12:28 -!- Gooberpatrol66 [~Gooberpat@user/gooberpatrol66] has joined #hplusroadmap 12:37 < hprmbridge> Eli> Donanemab got approved for Alzheimer’s.
