It seems like there are some reasonable solutions to all of that. Licensing, stamps, registration, and for the illegality, communications monitoring and forfeiture. A satellite image a day keeps the illegal growers away?
I believe some sites have been found showing tool marks inside the jaws of Neanderthals. Possibly suggesting butchering for meat.
However this could be many things, not necessarily predation. Even if so, that may not represent widespread behaviour or intentional extermination.
Given interbreeding there was probably a complex relationship. If we look to our relationships with other similar creatures (much less similar then Neanderthals though) there's often respect and even reverence (e.g. orangutans) alongside greed and disregard.
If orangutans become extinct due to environmental destruction that would not be intentional per se, but rather through conflicting motives.
I assume violence probably also played a role, but the mere fact that both species competed in the same ecological niche, combined with the different reproductive rates of Sapiens and Neanderthalensis, seems sufficient to explain why Neanderthalensis eventually died out. I am not an evolutionary biologist though, so I don´t know.
Pretty interesting. Since it's longer radio waves.... maybe matter that falls in at a certain angle orbits very close to the event horizon, and the friction of that matter is able to generate EM waves? The photons maybe also get caught in a shallow angle so it takes them a few years to spin free or it takes a few years for the necessary matter to accumulate in the right orbits?
Sort of a beautiful, tragic image: black holes as the largest cosmic record players, blasting out one final wailing note as the star falls in.
