You can also look at the total energy needed to de-orbit the moon and come up with a frequencie for events at least of that magnitude. They are easy calculations and they both give infinitesimal results. If that weren’t true, there’d be no way to tell if your intuition were correct.

minus-squaredudinax@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoThat’s way too low since several of the names match.
