1964, the Soviet astronomer Nikolai Calda Theo put forward the concept of Calda Soff index according to John Dyson's theory. He divided the level of human energy utilization into three levels, 1 level is to use the energy of the whole earth, the second level is to use the energy of the sun, and the third level is to use the energy of the whole galaxy.
Calda Western Europe said that sending human-generated garbage into space and making the sun burn is to use the energy of the sun. At present, the production and life of human beings are far from reaching this standard, and even have not reached the first level of using all the energy of the earth.
American physicist Dao Xiong further developed the Calda Soff Index. He has worked out a timetable. He thinks that after 100 to 200 years, the energy of the whole earth will be fully utilized by human beings. After that, mankind will explore the use of cosmic energy, and after thousands of years, mankind will be able to use the energy of the whole sun. After 65438+ ten thousand years to 1 ten thousand years, human civilization will reach the third level. Therefore, it will take at least 100~200 years for human beings to send the generated garbage into space and let the sun burn it.
The tool for human beings to escape from the earth and enter space now is the launch vehicle. The existing rocket with the largest thrust in human history is Saturn V carrier rocket with a load of 45,000 kg. In 2006, 30 member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development produced 4 billion tons of garbage. According to this figure, it takes 80 to 90 million Saturn V launch vehicles to send all this rubbish into space, which is obviously impossible.
So if you want to send garbage into space, it is definitely impossible to use the current rocket technology. With the development of science and technology in the future, there will be new rocket technology. By that time, it will be as simple and frequent for humans to launch rockets as it is now to start airplanes, and it will be easy to send garbage into space for the sun to burn.
Even if the garbage problem may be solved by solar incineration in the future, this technology is still immature and only in scientific fantasy. Therefore, human beings can't be indifferent to the current garbage pollution just by imagining that the garbage trouble can be solved in the future. Before the garbage pollution is completely solved, we still need to rely on human actions to reduce garbage production and protect the earth's environment.
