Very clever of the orcas, making it look weather-related

The energy states above the ground state have a finite width owing to their lifetime (energy and time being conjugate variables). But lifetime is not part of the solution, and the energies are single-valued. So while other non-commuting variables have the uncertainty built in, the energy-time pairing do not.

Not necessarily. The solution to the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom gives the energy eigenstates, but does not give the width of the energy states.

But it’s not the Pedant forum; most understand what’s meant by renewable energy.

Why would you think otherwise?

You use motors instead of engines. Electric planes exist. Electric jet engines have been developed https://thedebrief.org/revolutionary-new-electric-ejet-motor-could-signal-a-breakthrough-in-electric-propulsion-for-aviation/ The problem is the weight of the "fuel". Batteries are quite heavy, and you have to lift that extra weight, which means you need more energy storage to move the same amount of payload. You reach a point of diminishing returns when you add more batteries. It's an efficiency issue.

They don't want the people to think or act for themselves. They want mindless obedience and compliance.

Seems to me you’re looking for a passage that clearly and blatantly states something, in a book that rarely does that.

Then it seems you need to do some research, instead of broad, and thus inaccurate, accusations

What passages explicitly show this?

It’s a false premise to suggest that there is only one version of Christianity. There are over 45,000 denominations worldwide, with over 200 in the US https://www.livescience.com/christianity-denominations.html# My guess would be that the denominations that take root in a country have to do with the culture in that country. Some of the ones in the US are here because the people fled their home countries, where they weren’t able to freely worship. Others took root later. The US has freedoms that aren’t found in some other places, or manifest themselves differently (e.g. our right to free speech is not identical to a similar right in other democracies) So, which denomination(s) are you talking about?

Baloney. Repeating this doesn’t make it true, nor does it explain anything. Copies are inexpensive because you can make as many as you want, with little creativity or originality required. How do you “create” uniqueness? The fact that it’s a one-off makes it unique, by definition. Fraud/deception is not art, but you would be selling the notion of rarity; you could not bilk anyone without that illusion. Thank you for supporting my point.

Christianity does not have exclusive ownership of most of its themes. This is projection.

religious ≠ Christian spiritual ≠ Christian

So? Abortion is not a big deal in the Bible. You pasted some other link using the text Bible verses, sure. Urantia is not the Bible.

All of your links lead back to SFN In any event, this is cherry-picking. I can come up with lots of Bible verses that do not say anything about wealth. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist. The Urantia book was written in the last century. Is it Christian canon? You talk of the church - what church uses it? How does one become wealthy if there is no desire to become so?

And yet in the US, the policies of the left arguably align better with the tenets of Christianity. Helping the weak, feeding the hungry, healing the sick, welcoming to immigrants, as opposed to the money-grubbing and fear-mongering policies of the right.

How exactly does it do that? Starting a thread dies not give you permission to troll. It’s great that you have an appreciation for (some) art. But that would seem to be beside the point.

There is no paradox.
