Well, I think people presume that a copy of you would have a copy of your conscience too. And it is not necessary for a copy to be aware of other copies for it to be a copy, so I disagree with your logic here. Although, not necessarily with your conclusion. I definitely get there via a different route, which I describe elsewhere on this thread.

I saw a video on this and it sure would help a lot of people with osteoporosis. Not just those in space. Hope it continues to go somewhere. I know a little about this because of my family and current osteoporosis drugs only work to slow bone breakdown - not form new bone. People in space lose bone density at a faster rate I believe.

I'm really not sure what you're trying to communicate here.

Id point out that the event that formed our moon would erase out existence. So let's just hope we don't get 12 more.

you mix up the hydrocarbons ! !

Given what we know about bone mineral density being lost over time this stands to offer humans a better chance at long term space occupancy.

What do you mean thought process or plan? There isn’t a deity.
Of note is that we’re obviously under the right conditions that an ape can look up at the sky and wonder. That’s random but we seemingly won the lottery.

That theory has been debunked. Jupiter hurls as many asteroid into the inner solar system as it pulls them in to crash into Jupiter or flings them out of the solar system entirely. It's a zero sum game for Earth.

Is there another space/time?

You should probably look into this more, because there are indeed different types of infinities, and some are larger than others. For instance, there are more numbers between 0 and 1 than there are integers going to infinity. I wasn't talking about finite space, I was talking about one infinity of variation, vs. another infinity of size. What I'm suggesting is that the infinity of variation is larger than the infinity of size. So even with infinite space, there may be infinitely more types of universes to fill that space than there is space itself.

I did see there was an article about the new moons of Jupiter, but didn’t read it. Do we name the moons? If so, who gets the task? Who keeps track of the names?

Look at it this way. Even the same order of a deck of cards being the same would probably fill the observable universe. Adding a bit more information for even the smallest collection of molecules would start increasing the unlikely hood exponentially of having it duplicated.

the why doesn't need a cognitive or narrative motivation here.
why are volcanoes important to hawaii? because without them there'd be no hawaii. a fortunate random circumstance.
likewise, jupiter flexing the orbit of so many roaming bodies means we are offered a mild protection from more potentially dangerous objects flying around.
that's why jupiter's tendency to pull moons is important to earth. even if the why is ambient.

I believe the moon Io experiences enough gravitational influence that it keeps it's core molten

Nope. Infinity means infinity, not very large finite. All infinities contain infinite copies of you, no matter how long the odds. It's not an easy thing to think about, but there it is. What you have described is a very large finite universe, but that is precisely what infinity isn't. The difference between a very large but finite thing and an infinite thing is in itself infinite.

Jupiters and other planets in the wrong place in relation to the sun to be habitable.
The Goldilocks position is a thing where you have to be just right, not to close or far away from the sun to be habitable

Apparently per random internet searching, Jupiter gives off about twice as much energy as it absorbs from the sun.
