I doubt it. The universe started at the singularity. The whole thing was inconceivably hot for an incredibly long time.

Read the book Astrophysics For People In A Hurry by Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Big bang has to be super-photonic for any of it to work.

I recommend Beyond Einstein, by Michio Kaku.

Possibly also anything Richard Feynman ever wrote, especially QED.

I intend to be buried on Mars, preferably actually dying there.

Well...

We CAN fix Mars and make it habitable. But the problem is it isn't massive enough. We have less than .6 Earth G's. That means lower bone density and less muscle mass. ALSO Mars doesn't have a magnetosphere. That means we would not be protected from cosmic rays.

I don't see how it matters that we could massively release greenhouses gases and then introduce plant life until the atmosphere was breathable. The fact that Mars is the way it is PROBABLY MEANS that the circumstances of our solar system would eventually undo our hard work and return it to the desolate and lifeless place it is today.

The moon's gravity, of about a twelfth, is passable, but it's essentially made of asbestos.

Yeah. Anatomically modern humans have been around at least 200, 000 years. Though the earliest form of humans dates back to 2 million years ago.

I'd like some references on that, please.

For some perspective, the universe is estimated to be 13.8 billion years ago and the Earth is 4.5 billion years ago. We've also only been in heavy industry for only a few hundred years. Imagine where we could be in a mere 10,000. Compare the 2010s to the 1980s.

The "modern" era dates mostly back to pretty much Hitler, when we figured out jet propulsion, rockets, and particle physics.

We've done more since the 1930s than we have in the eight or nine thousand years before, when Ur happened. Human advancement is on a huge hyperbolic curve, and that's awesome.

Archaeology as regards human species is pretty constantly changing. But at minimum in the recent past quite a few species coexisted, most of which were fairly intelligent. Homo sapiens themselves have been around for a very long time compared to recorded history - youll find wildly varying estimates. I believe some recent discoveries have pushed them back pretty far.

Cro magnons and Neanderthals disappeared because homo sapiens quite literally fucked them to death.

What makes them any worse than the rest of the cigarettes?

Flavored cigarettes were flat banned several years ago, with menthols having a delayed ban.
I don't remember exactly when that was supposed to happen.

I can understand flavored cigarettes with the whole appealing to kids bit, but I don't understand why the ban on menthol. I say this as a non smoker, so idk what's the real difference besides "cooling" the smoke or something.

The flavor ban was meaningless anyway, for much the same reason that a pack of Cheyenne smokes are about a dollar-fifty.
