Three explosions? Meaning three sections of pipe? Don't you just remove any sections of pipe, even if say 100 meters long, and lay new pipe? They've already laid hundreds of miles of pipe so clearly they have the know-how. Obviously pumping out the seawater will take time, but surely they must have planned for breaches in the pipeline.

But expansion involves space, not matter, correct? Matter is not moved by expansion. For expansion to not occur on smaller scales seems to imply that matter is stopping expansion. Just because gravitationally bound objects don't separate due to expansion, I don't think we can conclude that space in that area is not experiencing expansion.

I would assume leaks have formed in the past, or are at least planned for, and repairs should not be a big deal. Apparently they are at a depth even divers can reach.

I read once that expansion is everywhere, even 'pushing' apart the atoms in your body, but of course to an unmeasurable extent. This happens because the expansion energy exists whether or not there is matter present. The analogy I use (don't know if it is necessarily a good one...) is imaging a ball bearing on a table with a magnet to the right of it and them representing the two masses, and a fan to the right of both and blowing toward them. The breeze is analogous to expansion and it always has an effect on the ball bearing, trying to push it away. The closeness of the magnet and ball bearing determine whether the ball bearing moves away, remains in place, or rolls toward the magnet.

I used to read my dad's books after he was done with them. Included a lot of spy thrillers, detectives, murders and sex. My parents didn't care but they never would have been approved by my school.

Family. Sunday Night Football. Pickled onions. Hiking in the woods. Van Morrison. Marx Brothers movies. Novels. Watching a stiff breeze in the Fall cause a couple thousand leaves to start tumbling toward the ground. Vanilla ice cream with fresh picked strawberries. Watching my granddaughter figure something new out for the first time. I could do this all day. In fact, the more things I list, the happier I am to be alive. Thanks for reminding me to always look on the bright side of life. 😁

I think one of the major downsides for Russia in this war is the risk at which they put Crimea. Clearly taking Crimea in 2014 was a major win for Russia, and it was unlikely that Ukraine was ever going to control it again. What was Ukraine going to do? Start a war with the world's second greatest military and a nuclear power to boot? But now Russia has started the war and Ukraine is in it through no fault of their own. From Ukraine's perspective as they fight to gain back territory lost since February, there is really no additional risk to continue the fight to take back territory lost since 2014. And if they can win back recently lost territory, there is no reason they cannot win back less recently lost territory. There are not many more ways in which this war can be shown to be a disaster for Russia. Russia has gone from being the second best military in the world, to being the second best military in Ukraine.

Which means absolute rot. As long as you been here on this SCIENCE site you'd think that by now you'd catch on that you cannot make claims without evidence. You've been doing this type of crap for ages. Please knock it off. All of your bullshit links have to do with territory, not racism.

Seems like you are begging the question. Citation please.

It's called a "typo".

My god you are dense. It was about the selection of king and queen. To the best of my knowledge Boris Johnson was not PM due to birthright. Gee, nothing gets past you, does it? Yeah, we'll see. Absolutely. Probably 100 other considerations also. It seems the monarchy already went through at least two major revisions with the adoption of the Magna Carta and the changeover to a Constitutional Monarchy.

Helped me, Thanks!

FFS I am not "having at" anyone! I insulted no one! Would you please move on?!?!

Hmm, let's think about that. We have some old coal-fired electrical generation plants that have been working for many decades. They are old but reliable, providing a needed product on-schedule, and as budgeted. I have my grandfather's old table saw. Works great. Of course there is not a single safety feature on it. I can't say I'm terribly enamored with the outhouse we have at our cabin. And it has been working flawlessly for nearly 100 years. Keeping something around as-is just because it's always been there is not something most people think of as a good idea.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. None of this was about insulting anyone, which is a complete mischaracterization of what I said. I spoke of the system used to choose a ruler. I DID insult that system. If you don't mind, can we bring this back to the Queen, and not about your desire to have everyone else follow your particular set of Rules of Etiquette? You are making this about YOU.

The thing I most often hear from people is that they think she was a woman with tremendous character who always tried to do the right thing.

Sorry I hurt your feelings. I didn't know you were such an emotional person. Glad I didn't actually say anything about the person who died. Your head would have exploded if you had read the comment by professor Uju Anya of Carnegie Mellon University. I just couldn't get myself to write the type flowery bullshit you spit out with this gem: The only thing missing was a tears emoji.

To me a democracy is a system of government that attempts to ensure that the people get to keep trying to ultimately get something that is at least in the ballpark of what they choose. That doesn't mean it is necessarily a 'good' system, or that the people will get what they want or need or deserve. It also doesn't matter how the system is implemented. It does mean that they are allowed to keep trying no matter how poorly things have turned out in the past.

That's an interesting role. I'm not sure how it could play out but if it can then it is certainly worth having. That makes sense, and is certainly the way it appears to me. While these days you don't see many peoples choosing to give an automatic "leadership" role based on nothing more than the order in which a child was spawned by a specific individual, the monarchy has hundreds of years of inertia and I'm sure some fond memories for many.

What exactly was her job? What would change in how the government of England works if that role was removed? I'm American so this could just be my ignorance speaking, but it looks like her job was no more than being kind of a grandma to everyone. I don't have much of an opinion of her one way or the other as I've never really seen her do much. I know she was much loved and thus feel for those who suffer her loss.
