Earth's New 'Black Box' Won't Save Humanity, It'll Just Record The End
The Earth is getting a black box of its own in the name of climate change science, and this one will record all events that are significant so that future civilizations can learn from what went wrong in the past and not repeat the same mistakes again. For the unaware, a «black box» is a heavily protected recording device that stores all relevant flight data and cockpit conversations. In case of an accident, the black box is the first object that is studied to find how an accident happened.
