Cool thx BillK.

While struggling with the thermal challenges back then, I discovered that an M-Brain could move a star.  If you have enough objects reflecting light in one direction, the star gradually accelerates in the opposite direction.  Momentum is conserved, and the momentum of a photon is H(nu)/c.  Since the energy of a photon is H(nu), we can take the total energy, divide by speed of light c, and that is the total momentum.

 

If all the momentum is directed one way, off you go in the other, accelerating at a few millimeters per square year.  Don’t just sit there, CALCULATE!

 

I presented to the engineers that with a star like our sun, it could get to our nearest stellar neighbor in about 15 million years, at which time it would be going about the speed of a typical 737 airliner.

 

But a more interesting finding came from the discovery that if a large percentage of the star’s energy is to be absorbed by M-Brain nodes, not only CAN the star be moved, it MUST be.  Otherwise it overheats.  The above discovery is why I recommend the engineer’s approach rather than the physicist’s.
