The last thing any country needs is Israel as an ally in its current political configuration.

This will only increase Iran's resolve to have nukes. Not surprised, Israel is a threat to the region with its expansionist aspirations of a Greater Israel.

When galaxies were forming, they were much closer together. Given that spacetime tells matter how to move, could the global spacetime, as opposed to local, configuration in the earliest epoch of galaxy formation been biased in that proportion; preferentially leaning towards one direction of rotation?

Apparently, it's mentioned in some late 19th century catalogues as for mustard powder. The authour theorizes that the third shaker disappeared because of lack of popular use of mustard powder sometime after. or it was replaced for the wet stuff, which negated the need for that one. Sugar use was dismissed because that was extremely expensive for common use when these things were conceived some 250 years ago.

It is apparent that a lot of very rich people acquire a false sense of invincibility and impunity.

The fallout has happened sooner than I thought.

The Brave AI disagrees with Google AI: Gravity Strength Scale-Dependent Gravity's strength is indeed scale-dependent. On a macroscopic scale, such as between planets and stars, gravity is influenced by the mass and distance between objects. The greater the mass of the objects involved, the stronger the gravitational force, and the closer the objects are to each other, the stronger the gravitational pull. On a microscopic scale, gravity is much weaker compared to other fundamental forces like electromagnetism. This is why the gravitational force between everyday objects like people, cars, and balls is negligible. Is that answer better?

Thanks Markus. That makes sense.

OKIDOKI. Cheers.

If the gravitational effects are trivial within the confines of an atom, why are scientists fussed that GR fails at that scale and feel they need a quantum description? Why does it matter and what use would a quantum description of gravity have at Planck scales?

Isn't that approach Darwinian?

A woman walked into a pet shop and was instantly drawn to a large, colorful parrot perched in a cage with a sign that read: “Parrot – £50.” Surprised by the low price, she asked the store owner, “Why is this beautiful parrot so cheap?” The owner hesitated, then said, “Well… I should be upfront. This parrot used to live in a brothel. He’s perfectly healthy and intelligent—but his language can be… let’s just say, colorful.” The woman paused, then shrugged. “I’ve heard worse. I’ll take him.” She brought the parrot home and placed the cage in her living room. Curious, she waited to see what it would say. The bird looked around its new surroundings, nodded, and said, “New house, new madam.” The woman blinked, caught off guard—but chuckled. “Okay… not too bad.” A few hours later, her two teenage daughters came home from school. The parrot perked up and said, “New house, new madam, new girls.” The daughters looked at their mom, wide-eyed. The woman gave an awkward smile… then all three burst out laughing. Just then, the husband walked through the front door, setting down his briefcase. The parrot glanced at him and chirped, “Hi Keith.”

It's illegal to disturb them these days. They are protected in the UK.

"Every child, every baby in Gaza is an enemy. The enemy is not Hamxs... We need to conquer Gaza and colonize it and not leave a single Gazan child there. There is no other victory." - Moshe Feiglin. Israeli politician 2 days ago. They aren't hiding their real intent anymore.

I do know cylindrical batteries have vents around the positive to release pressure in such an event. It has certainly made me think about the risk of such chemistry.

Was sat in a friend's garden today when his solar-charging battery unit burst into a ferocious sustained jet of flame and gas about 2 foot long. Put a hole through a seat cushion in seconds it was sat on. On reflection, I was thinking what can be done in that event. You absolutely cannot stop the flame and it causes damage in seconds before you even realize what's going on. My friend knocked it on the floor to reduce the potential damage to the garden furniture we were sat on. Not sure it was a good idea to have pushed and dropped it on the floor because it might have exploded? Appreciate your thoughts, and my lesson I got from it was "people first" and get out of the way asap, rather than trying to deal with it when the thermal runaway is in full flow. The first actual concern was the furniture, which on reflection was the wrong priority.

Right. Yes, I agree.

But is freewill random? Is choice random?

There seems to be a dance between the stochastic elements, such as kinetic particle trajectories/collisions and deterministic phenomena, as in the chemical and intrinsic properties of particles and gravity causing them to coalesce. It occurred to me today that the prevailing environment is the 'designer' of complex structures, selecting the elements that will interact and those that will cease. Some of those structures will reciprocally act on surrounding stochastic elements, such that the local environment comes under mutual 'control'. I think it is important to put the deterministic/stochastic dichotomy to bed because they exist and interact in tandem. This is a great problem to think about, I think, trying to figure out how things evolve from the inert to biotic structures.

Distance is that which is measured with a ruler. Time is that which is measured with a clock. We don't analyse the nature of distance, do we? Time doesn't require an ontological analysis. i.e. What is time? That is philosophy; physics, seeks to only describe the behaviour of natural phenomena.

I think it only really matters if there were no other players and the respective countries relied on each other as their only import/export partners. The trouble with Trump is that he arbitrarily makes up his own correlation/causation relationships. with no foundation in economic reality. The real question, and I'm not being flippant, is what do you do with a moron at the wheel? You can't intellectualise about the motives and actions of a person like him (putting it kindly).
