From my limited understanding, the reason "run of the Mill" neutrinos have been excluded from the list of candidates for making up a major component of dark matter is that it would have altered the formation of the universe. That many neutrinos would have prevented the small scales structures from forming as early as they did. That doesn't mean neutrinos are out of the question entirely, there is the hypothesized "sterile" neutrino, which doesn't interact with other matter at all, except gravitationally. Some recent findings have suggested to its actual existence.

That car manufactures and engineers are really good at what they do and protecting passengers, obviously

If you're specifically interested in thermal storage where space is at a premium, then the quantity of interest may be the volumetric heat capacity (typically MJ/m^3/K) There's a table you can play around with at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_specific_heat_capacities Fond memories of playing in front on my grandmother's Rayburn oven predispose me toward cast iron. However, water or high density masonry are probably more cost effective.

It's not unusual for people to have a "Damascus moment" after a narrow escape from death or danger. It's not a rational process; it's a great emotional upwelling or relief, joy, surprise, humility and gratitude. It's purposeless and undirected, so it spontaneously goes toward whatever supernatural entity is central to the belief system of his society. Of course, the religious community welcomes the convert and makes him feel cherished, important, consequential - all of which feels good to him, and is, with the collusion of the community, attributed to the deity. The unconsidered inclination to believe is reinforced and rationalized, and veiled in a tacit agreement never to scrutinize it too closely.

You have to show the feasibility of warp drive. You’ve skipped that part.

So what do you believe now? And since it was only "nearly" impossible to survive, then how do you know your survival was miraculous?
