For example, if 0.01% of the biomass is lost per year, then the time-integrated BIOTA will be 10,000 M b i o m a s s ( 0 ) {\displaystyle M_{biomass}(0)} . For the 6·1020 kg biomass constructed from asteroid resources, this yields 6·1024 kg-years of BIOTA in the Solar System. Even with this small rate of loss, life in the Solar System would disappear in a few hundred thousand years, and the potential total time-integrated BIOTA of 3·1030 kg-years under the main-sequence Sun would decrease by a factor of 5·105, although a still substantial population of 1.2·1012 biomass-supported humans could exist through the habitable lifespan of the Sun.[1][2] The integrated biomass can be maximized by minimizing its rate of dissipation.
