That's not a theory, that's a baseless claim that flies in the face of all known facts and basic logic. I have a "theory" that there's a teapot orbiting the sun somewhere out by Mars but it's too small to be seen with any telescope. How about you disprove that?

If you're premise starts with "assume the specific god that I believe in exists" then you can hand-wave anything you want. What's the point of that? An all powerful god can literally do anything and be used to explain everything.

What exactly are you looking for here? What kind of answer were you expecting?

What you're saying doesn't make much sense but it sounds like you're very trying to describe the Novikov self-consistency principle. To be clear, this is a conjecture with no scientific basis. Time travel to the past is theoretically not impossible in certain spacetime geometries but that doesn't mean it actually is possible, and even if it is, we certainly don't know how to do it, so we have no way of saying how something that might not even be possible might potentially work if it were possible.

Either Hayabusa or Stardust. Hayabusa collected samples of asteroid 25143 Itokawa from beyond the orbit of Mars and returned to Earth. Stardust collected samples from comet 81P/Wild, also beyond the orbit of Mars, and returned a capsule to Earth. I can't find the exact distances but it's one of those 2.

We just look. That's what telescopes are for. It's not anymore complicated than that. There's nothing special about inside vs outside our galaxy. It's not some barrier. We have extremely powerful telescopes that can see to the edge of the observable universe.

This is wrong and it makes no sense

Weight loss happens when you burn more calories than you consume. It's not any more complicated than that. If you burn 2000 calories a day but only consumed 1800, you will lose weight. You burn a substantial number of calories (anywhere between 1000-2000 depending on age, weight, gender, physical condition, and other factors) just by being alive. In other words, you burn over 1000 calories a day just by laying in bed. digesting the food you eat also takes calories, and of course physical activity burns calories.

So to add that all up, let's say your basal metabolic rate is 1500 (these are the calories you burn just by being alive). Then let's say you burn 200 calories from digesting the food you ate throughout the day. Finally, you burn another 200 calories just from your physical movement throughout the day (walking around, doing the dishes...etc). That's a total of 1900 calories you burned in 1 day. If you ate less than 1900 calories that day, you will lose weight. If you ate more than 1900, you will gain weight.

It's certainly possible. Our sun would be visible to the (human) naked eye out to at least a few dozen light years, so depending on how those alien's eyes worked, they could potentially see our sun as part of a constellation.

There's no global definition of what does and does not constitute an act of war and there's no international body that forces other countries to declare war on other countries. Something is considered an act of war if a country claims that it is. That's it. Giving equipment to Ukraine to fight Russia is not an act of war because Russia has (at least not yet) said they consider to be. That's all there is to it. Russia is pefectly free to say "we consider this an act of war, and so therefore we are not at war with all of NATO," but they don't want to be at war with NATO, so they don't.

In 1972, Richard Nixon was running for reelection. Nixon Had a shady group of characters working for called the Committee to Reelect the President (CREEP) and many of the members were part of his administration or close personal associates. Officially it was a fundraising organization, but really they engaged in a number of illegal activities like money laundering, political intimidation...etc

The headquarters of the Democratic Party (Nixon was a Republican) were in the Watergate Complex in Washington D.C. Members of CREEP broke into the Democratic Party offices to steal documents and plant bugs. They were caught. Over the next 2 years, it became clear through whistle blowers, testimony at the trials of CREEP members, and the revelation of secret audio tapes that Nixon kept of conversations he had in the oval office, that Nixon was personally involved in covering up his administration's involvement with the break in and sabotaging official investigations into it. Facing almost certain impeachment and removal from office, Nixon chose instead to resign.

Viruses don't "want" anything. You're ascribing motive where there is none. Viruses aren't even alive let alone sentient. From an evolutionary perspective, it doesn't matter if your host dies once you've reproduced and spread to new hosts, so there's no pressure for a virus to evolve to be less deadly so long as it doesn't kill the host so fast that it can't spread.

Ok well first, you can't "remove" a vacuum because a vacuum is already nothing. You can't "remove" nothing. Second, if the vacuum of space were suddenly filled with some material that was dense enough to propagate sound, we would all instantly die and everything we know would be instantly destroyed, so you wouldn't hear anything.

Flat in this context doesn't mean 2 dimensional, flat means the universe is not curved, or in other words, it obeys Euclidean geometry. Euclidean geometry is the geometry that everyone is most familiar with and is most applicable in our daily lives. It's where parallel lines never meet and the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees. There are other types of geometry where these things are not true. For example, the surface of a sphere is not Euclidean - parallel lines will always meet and the sum of angles in a triangle can be more that 180 degrees.

>Does the ambassador have to stand in an office while getting lectured by a minister? What’s the purpose of this?

No. The ambassador has no obligation to go anywhere. When a country summons an ambassador, it's a request, not an order, and the means is the message. In other words, the act of summoning the ambassador itself conveys that the host country is unhappy with something that the country represented by the ambassador has done. It's diplomatic theater meant to sent a message to the ambassador's country. Whether the ambassador actually attends any meetings is up to them, although not going is frowned upon and could lead to further diplomatic steps.

UTC is not a timezone. GMT is a timezone that corresponds to the mean solar time as measured by the royal observatory in Greenwich, England. UTC on the other hand, is a time standard for how clocks are synchronized. It's always the same time in UTC and GMT though, so in that respect they are the same.

It's distributed according to their will or, if they don't have a will, state law (after the appropriate taxes are paid) - same as anyone else. They may have vastly more complicated estate plans, but the legal procedures are the same.

This is not the sub for this question. The purpose of this sub is to ask for simplified explanations to complex topics; it's not for asking for advice. You'll have much better luck elsewhere.

"Contribute to obesity" and "bad for you" are not necessarily the same thing. Which one are you asking about?

Some sugar substitutes are bad for you for reasons unrelated to weight gain, such as messing up your gut microbiome.

There is some evidence, although it's not conclusive, that sugar substitutes may be linked to weight gain. The idea is that your body associated the sweet taste with an increase in blood sugar and thus expects an increase in blood sugar. When you drink a sugar free drink, you get the taste but don't get the blood sugar increase, so your body makes you crave sugar to get that increase it was expecting, and you end up consuming more calories than you otherwise would have.

"Atomic bomb" is an outdated term for any nuclear weapon, usually referring to the earliest nuclear bombs that worked using purely nuclear fission. A hydrogen bomb (also called a thermonuclear bomb) is a specific type of nuclear bomb that uses nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, making them much more powerful and destructive than purely fission weapons.

Blood does replenish but it takes a while. It takes about 24 hours to replace the volume of a pint of blood and 4-6 weeks to replace a pints worth of red blood cells. If you've suffered major blood loss, you need blood NOW or you're going to die in minutes.

When you donate blood, you only donate what you can spare. The average adult can spare 1 pint of blood to donate but that's very different than getting shot or stabbed and losing 5 pints of blood.
