  1. New plutonium batteries, better than classic RTG, up to 500 W and 80 years. (The English subtitles are enablable).
  2. The modern view of the Universe structure is based on the views of the people, who were sure that Milky Way is the whole Universe till 1918, the atom is a pudding, consisting of protons and electrons (with no core) till 1914, having no ideas about isotopes till early 1920s, no idea of the neutron till 1932, no idea of spontaneous fission till 1938. Nuff said. Why not base the geology on the Athanasius Kircher's studies?
  3. Abrams The Tank.. Power/mass ~20 kW/t= 20 W/kg. Speed = 72 km/h = 20 m/s. So, roughly, the opposing force/mass = (P/m)/v = 20 / 20 = 1 m/s2. Kinda, the tank turbojet produces T/W ~0.1 g. Range 400+ km, let it be 432. Duration = 432/72 = 6 h = 21 600 s. Delta-V = 21 600 * 1 = 21.6 km/s. Fuel capacity = 500 gal = 1 900 l ~= 1.5 t. Total mass ~60 t. 21.6 = ISP*g * ln(60/(60-1.5)) ISP*g ~=850 km/s ISP ~= 85 000 s.
  4. Hephaestus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hephaestus So... It's Bronze Age. The bronze is not being forged. It's being melted and casted in a clay form. How could the Bronze Age Micenaean Greeks know the words "(black)smith", "forge", "anvil", "hammer", when they had never seen anything but a stove with a crucible, and liquid melted metal being poured into a clay form?! How could the Achaeans know these words?! What were his smith tongs made of? The bronze? Didn't he feel hot?
  5. This is super lime soup. Waiter! Are you sure that lime is white powder, rather than green fruit?
  6. Thinking that I know gromatix is cheating.
  7. Realistic??? The stars are nailed to the sky dome, what is "beyond" here?
  8. Banned for not knowing all Wizard's rules.
  9. Floor 3545: A shelf for the kitty to jump onto.
  10. The MONOmethylhydrazine can't be unsymmetrical, as it has just one methyl group. It's a cheating.
  11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange,_Vaucluse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Orange https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Orange https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_III_of_England https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Order *** https://www.englishclub.com/efl/podcasts/interesting-facts/orange-colour-fruit-first/#:~:text=The word “orange” was used,that translates to yellow-red. *** So, the tree from India was probably imported via Netherlands into Britain, and became a symbol of loyalist otherness.
  12. No Not only, it's more related to the "chemtrail" topic, but this falls into politics much faster.
  13. Banned for spotting the secret.
  14. Granted. There are planets like Boeinget, Airbuset, and Cessnet. I wish the mercury in the thermometers was a planet.
  15. They do. It's the Matrix. We live in it, they train in it.
