  • Do you think killing for example Hitler would’ve changed anything? He just was some random guy who joined an already existing movement (and even without that movement ww2 was inevitable after the peace treaties of Versailles and Saint-Germain). They’d just have picked someone else to lead it

    Do you think killing Putin would change anything? He put complete loyalists everywhere, if he’s gone his political line will continue.

    These are systematical issues, you can’t fix them as long as a large majority of those who have power to change anything (in a democracy thankfully that’s everyone who’s eligible for voting) simply accept it.

    Side note: In the USA’s recent election ~32% voted for the Republicans and ~32% for the Democrats while over a third just didn’t care at all. That’s not how you get something to change in a democracy!








  • Why your spoiler is wrong:

    The gravitational force between two objects is G(m1 m2)/r²

    G = ~6.67 • 10^-11 Nm²/kg²

    m1 = Mass of the earth = ~5.972 • 10^24 kg

    m2 = Mass of the second object, I’ll use M to refer to this from now on

    r = ~6378 • 10^3 m

    Fg = 6.67 • 10-11 Nm²/kg² • 5.972 • 1024 kg • M / (6378 • 10^3 m)² = ~9.81 • M N/kg = 9.81 • M m kg / s² / kg = 9.81 • M m/s² = g • M

    Since this is the acceleration that works between both masses, it already includes the mass of an iron ball having a stronger gravitational field than that of a feather.

    So yes, they are, in fact, taking the same time to fall.

    Just recently my country exchanged land with a neighbouring country to adjust for the changes of water, each giving and gaining the same amount of land. When water marks the border it’s much easier to know when you’re crossing it.

    Edit: looked it up: in march we (Austria) traded 239 m² with Liechtenstein
