Well, hardware does. Software, on the other hand...

That's what the thought leaders tell me.

More accurately, planets with orbits that are not in tune with each other will drift in their orbits until they're in tune or fall into their sun or whatever.

The sphere including all of LEO and the Earth is over 2.4 trillion cubic km. Earth is a smidge over 1 trillion cubic km. Subtract the volume of the Earth and you have 1.4 trillion cubic km left for the 100km below the Karman Line and 1900km above it.

The volume of the LEO zone is larger than the volume of the Earth.

Space is however really, really big. As the debris field spreads out the debris density drops rapidly.

An old circular CRT TV is architecturally completely different than a modern smart TV. Yet there's a commonality of function (convert input to two-dimensional visual display) that makes comparison not only possible, but obvious.

Iron was also scarcer and lower-quality in Japan. It required more skilled labor to turn their poor raw materials into serviceable armor plates. Chain links were right out.
