An article in Science this week called Space for nature asks the question: How much of the earth are we willing to share?

I challenge you to read the whole article without thinking of Thanos. Maybe his evil master-plan wasn’t such a bad idea after all…

—from Physics magazine of the American Physical Society.

From a news item in Science magazine.

Perhaps some scrutiny could have been involved a bit earlier in the process?
