So ... it's full just below the pressure that causes it to break?

Is it though? It's denser at extreme depth. I'm trying to get my tired brain around this and failing.

Reply to Analysis showed that 65.6% of women who took extra Vitamin D gave birth naturally. The study analysed results from the MAVIDOS trial which involved 965 women being randomly allocated an extra 1,000 International Units (IU) per day of vitamin D during their pregnancy or a placebo. by Wagamaga
Those effect sizes are quite small. If be surprised if they were statistically significant.

Yeah, but at the distance I can converse with another person, the difference is indiscernible.
Also spoken words travel around corners.

Biological differences between ethnic groups. It's something you'd want to rule out before you start attributing everything to racism.
Here's a really simple example. My ancestors were all either Scots or Scandinavian (according to one of those DNA tests I did). Because of that I'm at high risk of melanoma. There is no socioeconomic cause for that. It's just an unfortunate biological risk.

I can see how that's a compelling hypothesis. But by going straight to racism, you ignore other potential causes.

Reply to The concept of the Big Bang feels like it was our universe being turned on in the same way a computer program turns on. First it's rapidly loading up and then it's running and doing it's thing. by Imaginary_Addatives
I heard an astronomer explaining the eventual heat dealthbifbtue universe will leave it full of protons and nothing else. He then said that because photons don't 'experience' space, that such a state would be indistinguishable from the conditions thought to exist immediately before the big bang.
I'm probably misexplaining it, but it was quite mind-blowing.

Hunter gatherers wiped out megfauna pretty much everywhere they went across the globe. The idea of hunter gatherers in balance we with nature is largely a myth.

If conciousness is merely a memory of unconscious actions, how does one account for planning complex actions?

Of course not because the conrods will bend first. But as an awake person I can now remember that water is indeed denser at great depth (to an extent that is reflectee in the anatomy of the fish that live there). So it is compressible it's just not easy.
