My only complaint about his research is how awkward of a term "starivores" is.

pg. 258

    Only then it makes sense to migrate to the nearest – preferably single– star, and to continue. The density of the evolved Earth is now comparable to the one of a white dwarf –which indeed are Earth-sized– , and the new binary we form resembles a cataclysmic variable.

OH WOW. I see where he's going with this. I love systems theory.

It really is a unique combination of philosophy and systems theory. I know that as soon as I developed an understanding of systems theory, it seems to attract most of my intellectual attention. If you are studying anything smaller than a systems scale - it seems to just be noise and details. The system is what is important.
