The OP question should be changed to "Is it in the interest of SSA not to delay processing of applications for benefits?"

The update on the issue: none. More than three months later, my application is still pending. All attempts to get a hint from SSA on why it takes so long, failed. SSA in the US tells me to contact their office in DR. A phone message in their office in DR plays for 9-10 minutes and then disconnects. Awaiting their email response, for two weeks now...

It was a rhetorical question. The point of that question was that spacetime is often curved in vacuum without mass or energy being anywhere in the vicinity.

Where are these mass and energy when the spacetime is curved in vacuum?

You can find an overview here: Chemical Kinetics: Rate of reaction, types of reaction on basis of their rate. Notice this:

It says nothing about a process that led to its appearance.

Because I think it is a large-scale process.

You have answered your own question.

We have a direct experimental observation of the two states, without life and with life. If the process of changing the former into the latter is such that it takes, say, at least a million years, we will never directly observe it.

13.8 billion years ago, there was no life in the universe. 13.8 billion years later, there is life. A state without life has evolved into a state with life. This is abiogenesis.

You can take a snapshot of an accelerometer that you hold in your hand. It will show if you accelerate or not.

BTW, the bubbles may be also misleading. When diving Molokini Crater we got caught in a down current once. We held to a rock, but our bubbles were pulled down. The visibility was perfect thought, so we did not have a problem to see where the surface is.

Don't hold your breath. Chances are nobody will respond because, according to the forum Guidelines,

The vestibular system input is an important one but there are other factors that determine our perception of the vertical direction. One such factor is tactile. When we stand, sit, or lie on the ground, we feel how the ground pushes at us. This feel disappears when we are submerged and buoyant underwater. The perception of vertical direction is not so sharp anymore. We still respond to a visual clue: it is lighter above and darker below. But in night diving or when diving in very murky water this factor disappears too. It is very easy then to lose the vertical orientation completely. To make sure where is up and where is down in such case, we look at where the bubbles go.

The measurement by an accelerating observer and by a non-accelerating observer will be different.

Sorry, I have already fixed it a second ago. But thanks for the catch anyway.

I don't know if my answers are simple, but they are certainly short and leave a lot of room for more questions. Here it goes. You would not feel it. As measured by an observer relative to which you are moving. You would record time slowing down for them. I don't. It does. It does not.

Mathematics is full of statements which are true regardless of any agreements or opinions. Here is a random example from a random math textbook:

The point of the discussion is that there is truth without God.

So, it had nothing to do with the previous discussion.

No. Proven because it's true.

No truth of a proven mathematical statement has changed.

It does not matter what it was called 600 years ago. It is not called so anymore. Regardless, the names of things are neither true nor false.

Mathematical truth is the ultimate and absolute truth. Mathematics evolves by better and deeper understanding of this truth. Whatever you are talking about cannot be "everything" because it has counterexamples. Math provides the counterexamples.

This is rather a no-example. It is not called so in math. And it is also a no-example. Your statement, "there's no truth without God" is refuted by the observation that there are irrefutably true mathematical statements without God.
