No comments on the rest, but if someone steps up in front of you with "constellations haven't changed" claim you can, with a calm voice, reply that they have changed, are changing and will continue to change. Some more, some less depending on radial velocities of the stars. Also, constellations are no real thing, they are just human imaginations. They differ with time and culture.

Based off my calculations, Bernard's star, the fastest moving relative to earth, has moved only 16.6 degrees in the history of the world.

I won't check it, seems correct :-) But 16,7 is enough to change any constellation (if it was part), it would switch sides in Orion and leave the smaller ones. And that was only during 6000 years (wave hand) :-) Other stars moved as well, though far less. Nevertheless the sky looked slightly different 6000y ago, and you wouldn't recognize it in the ice age 50.000y ago.

My subject is prehistory. If some talks about "thousands of years" without a precise date my brain switches to stone age archeology mode :-)

You are right as far my math works in your calculations. But don't forget that constalations are some stars that do not belong physikaly together. And if you add all stars in a costelation than they move realy far to each other. Vektors and real distance play a great role too.

As it not precise what kind of "jet" engines it's about in the video, it's not totally wrong. A rocket engine is a member of the jets just as turbojet, ramjet, pulse and all the others of that great family.

and also, a TEACHER thinks that astrophysics is what they do with the hyperdrives in STAR WARS!

I had a teacher who thought that astrology and astronomy were one and the same.

A video of a private (!) test of a road barrier against terrorist attacks. It worked. The driver was badly wounded, they do not mention what exactly.

The (german) comments are what they sound like.

Now we know why crash test cars are drawn by a cable. How can one be so thoughtless empty headed ?
