Is the universe at least 136 billion years old, is the universe not expanding at all, did the universe begin its expansion when Hubble measured its redshift for the first time or was light twice as fast 13.5 billion years ago than it is today?
Not so. Observable universe - Wikipedia:

% deuterium and % tritium
When I google your question verbatim, I get in the first two results the following: 1. Boosted fission weapon - Wikipedia 2. 4.3 Fission-Fusion Hybrid Weapons (nuclearweaponarchive.org) Do they answer your question?

Global warming (split from Atmosphere Correcting Lamp)
This is another factor to add to the list. I've never heard of “ship track” clouds. First, we've added them, now we remove them: ‘We’re changing the clouds.’ An unforeseen test of geoengineering is fueling record ocean warmth | Science | AAAS

What are your routine news sources?

What are your routine news sources?
They were the two most circulated and subscribed to, mainly because people were often forced to subscribe to them. They were not most read though. But they were most used as substitution for non-exist toilet paper.

What are your routine news sources?
There were more than two. About half dozen central ones, and many regional, professional, special interest etc. A representative, albeit partial list can be found here: Printed media in the Soviet Union - Wikipedia

Why the answer you get by searching the web is insufficient?

Sargassum problem
Good news, for whatever reason, (from the Marine Park report) "The 2023 sargassum season invasion was approximately 30 days compared to 51 days in 2022."

Global warming (split from Atmosphere Correcting Lamp)
Right. However, it does not answer my question: what does make one to conclude that greenhouse gases alone don't cause all the problems. As in What makes one to think that it is also something else? IOW, that greenhouse gases alone are not enough to cause all the problems.

Global warming (split from Atmosphere Correcting Lamp)
What was the cause of that? Did that change in the last ~100 years? What did cause that? Did that change in the last ~100 years? Overall, how much of effect these factors have compared to the greenhouse gases?

Query about the Mirror Test for Robots
If I consider one of the simplest animals, a sponge, I will have to play with words to fit it into the definition of machine. It is just not what that definition describes.

Query about the Mirror Test for Robots
Sorry, I don't understand what "modified yes plus" means. What I mean is that an animal is not "an apparatus using or applying mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function and together performing a particular task."

Query about the Mirror Test for Robots
Then, by this definition of 'machine', the answer to my question is, no.

Query about the Mirror Test for Robots
Do you define machine as a mechanical device?
-
Query about the Mirror Test for Robots
I agree. I see one motive for doing it being experimental testing of our understanding of the animal.

Query about the Mirror Test for Robots
Yes, the process was different. What does this fact say about the result? The same or similar results can be achieved via different processes, I think.

Query about the Mirror Test for Robots
Aren't animals the biochemical machines?

Definitions
Yes. The choice depends on the intended use. For example, when discussing 'force' in physics and in politics, different definitions of the term 'force' are used.
