Greetings all, an intro and a question ... .
If this is not about the theory of relativity as in physics, then it should not be in the Physics forum. It should go elsewhere.

No, Einstein didn't say this.

Electron shells
Stop here. They are not.

Two wrongs here: 1. It is not so according to Einstein. 2. It is not what Einstein called, the happiest thought.

Wheels in animals
Yes, it looks so. This is about what And And what Dawkins wrote in 1996 (I just repeat it here as it has been quoted above):
-
Wheels in animals
Yes. These wheels appear as cellular components. But not as components of a multi-cellular organ. I think that both Dawkins and @mistermack have explained it well. (It's fun to imagine an aquatic animal that moves by such a motor.)

However, such a design works in bacteria. Not a human design, with a spinning wheel, powered by and made of the bacterial components. PS. Not for moving blood, of course, in bacteria, but for a different function.

Wheels in animals
Turned out that Richard Dawkins wrote an article 26 years ago exactly about this question. (Why Don't Any Animals Have Wheels? | Live Science)

Interpretations of QM
Nothing. The discussion between @Lorentz Jr and @Markus Hanke has moved to GR and then to SR some time ago.

Wheels in animals
Right! But I've expected the microbial answer and that's why have specified animal organs in the OP. It didn't help, though. Yes, this might be a fundamental obstacle. If we designed a pump for moving blood around, aka heart, it would certainly have a few wheels in it. Dawkins: Why Don't Any Animals Have Wheels? | Live Science:

Wheels in animals
From your link: I wonder, why. The OP question refers to a variety of wheels used in a variety of human designed mechanisms.
-
Wheels in animals
That was the subject of the OP question. There are wheels in microbial world, but not in macroscopic world of animal organs. Why? For clarity: What about it? This:
-
Wheels in animals
Animal organs. I am not sure there is a problem, yet. OP just states a fact.
-
Wheels in animals
Wheels are ubiquitous in human designed mechanisms but absent in animal organs. Why is it so?

This is not SR. This is a wordplay.

Interpretations of QM
Right. The slowdown of aging is not physical as long as they are in transit. Only when they meet again, their ages can be physically compared. The result is the consequence of the entire history between their separation and their meeting. There are two different worldlines with two different lengths. The acceleration is just an indication of the difference. If the histories are different, why to expect the outcome to be the same?

Interpretations of QM
I think it is more than this, it determines who ages more. Let's say A is on Earth and B is in the spaceship. When B reaches the turning point, it doesn't turn, but instead A accelerates to a faster relative speed and catches up with B somewhere behind that point. Then it will be B who has aged more, right?
-
Interpretations of QM
The difference is that the spaceship accelerates while Earth does not.

Nature loves spirals
I see that one can find spirals here and there. I don't see that they are favored.

dark matter question
About 15 years ago I watched an MIT seminar on issues in cosmology. A professor leading it has offered his prediction that in 10 years we will know what dark matter is and we will know that dark energy doesn't exist. 15 years later, we don't know much more than we did then, do we?

Is it a cosmological comoving frame, the one where CMB is isotropic?
