Consciousness Always Exists
You must have put a lot of time into that. But what if time is an emergent phenomenon ? What if time does not exist before the emergence of geometric space-time ? How can you be sure something that's true now, was true before 'now' existed ? What observations are you basing this on, other than your own mind's ramblings ? Seems your time was well wasted ...

The 2026 Nobel Chemistry Prize and the Fermi Paradox.
Guessing it has to do with the non-linearity of asymmetric organic synthesis, and the fact that all Earth life has a one-sided chirality, when one would expect two handedness. But I'm no chemist; that was only my day job.

Is it still called art when the only emotion it evokes is disgust ?

the good news, apparently she is now doing well, and speaking, Christa Pike awake and speaking days after botched Tennessee execution The bad news Trump approves firing squad execution for Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan D Trump likes firing squads.

What sci-fi technology/science concept doesn't even have a sliver of possible scientific feasibility?
Ahhh, but you could make an EM hoverboard ... old man π . ( although you can only use it on Monorails )

Nobel for Physics
Fracois Halzen, a Physicist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics, today, for his research in Neutrino Astronomy. His research made contributions to the Ice-Cube Neutrino Observatory, in Antarctica, studying high energy, cosmic neutrinos.

Ringworld !?!? I just really really want a hoverboard ...

And when he couldn't, he would just slap/punch the 15 year-old girl in the head, when she refused to fellate him. Allegedly ... Now he doesn't need to 'navigate' anymore; He's got the FBI and DOJ running interference, and saying "nothing to see here".

Is there any truth in the suggestion that some electric vehicles cause motion sickness ?
That hasn't been my experience when following EVs, but I could be wrong as I don't have much experience yet, with EVs. And, on all ICVs ( that I know of ) the brake lights are switched by an actual physical switch in the brake pedal itself; any, and all, depressions of the pedal activate the brake lights ( through a relay, of course ). That is why you can activate brake lights even with the vehicle turned off; the relay is directly connected to the battery.

A time yravelling DeLorean DMC-12, as modified by Dr Emmett Brown to travel in time, would be sweet. But I'd settle for a hoverboard, the anti-grav scooter.

Is there any truth in the suggestion that some electric vehicles cause motion sickness ?
Exactly. And that leads to the EV in front of you slowing down, without brake lights going on. Just annoying if you're paying attention; disastrous if you're distracted. Used to be expected that EVs were supposed to replace ICVs. What actually happened is that every EV owner who uses his EV for 'urban' errands, also has a IC truck, for heavy hauling and long trips.

Most actuated controls, such as the HOTAS pitch/roll control stick in fighter planes, now rely on 'force sensing', and don't actually move.

That's the NATO flag. ( I did say Americans don't know the founding members of NATO π π ). Sorry. ( I'm such a hypocrite βΉοΈ ) That's the EU flag.

Is there any truth in the suggestion that some electric vehicles cause motion sickness ?
I drove a mid-engined two seater for quite a few years. When the back end started coming around on you, it required all your concentration to fight it back on course. Drove a Porsche 911, rear engine car, ONCE, and I spun it twice on the first aggressive corner I took. Not pleasant, and I imagine it would take getting used to. Lane departure warning, though annoying, I can live with; lane following, where the steering wheel fights your lane changes, is quite unnerving. I suppose, since passengers don't see the visual cues of upcoming 'departures' from smooth driving, the unexpected 'departures' could lead to disorientation/queasiness, especially in when the driver is unaccustomed to differences in EV driving/reacting.

Apply Crypto to Biology and the Laminin
I know Swansont has brought this up numerous times. The questuion 'Why' is Metaphysical, or Philosophical; Science deals with 'How' things work.

Approval Ratings of Great Dictators
When your survival, or a train ticket to the gulag, depends on whether you approve of your 'great' dictator, you had better approve ( or you won't be around to take part in next year's survey ).

Is there any truth in the suggestion that some electric vehicles cause motion sickness ?
What bothers me about electric ( and hybrid ) vehicles, is the fact, that due to regenerative braking, the vehicle can slow down without the brake lights going on. Other than that, I have no issues. I know ... anecdotal.

I'm assuming that's Arabic ... It's a good thing your cultural forbears found a large supply of fossil fuel/oil. Otherwise, they would be in dire straits if they had to rely on your energy source. As Swansont suggested ... learn some Physics.

Learn how to spell ( or to use the spell-checker ) before you try to change the world with an endless supply of free energy.

Field day out in comfort.
Very nice. Last time I went on a 'field' trip, was the Fall ( nice time of year ) of 77 ( 1st year Uni Geology elective course ). That's when I learned that the North side of the road, along old HWay8, in West St. Catharines, the soil of the vineyards is littered with seashells as it used to be the shore of long gone Lake Iroquois, formed by the retreat of glaciers after the last Ice Age, and before the formation of the Great Lakes.

Direct Democracy in Switzerland
Neither very well. Your arguments don't make much sense, and don't seem to make the connections you think. Take some advice from this channel, and come prepared with proper backing evidence

Why the Rest of the World Thinks Americans Are Brainwashed
little known fact. In June to August of 1944, the Normandy campaign, the per capita losses of the Canadian Armed Forces were double what the Americans lost ( 41 vs 21 per 100000 citizens ). And the French ( C de Gaulle ) still want to break us up; "Vive le Quebec libre!".
