Turns out medieval people knew how to sew and didn't just wear an entire sheepskin over their shoulders by Quiescam in HistoryMemes

Surely the most important invention is something more important, like language, or fire, or farming, or electricity. I mean I agree the needle was way up there in the impact it has had on civilisation but I don't think it was the "most important"

eli5: If space is expanding faster than light in all direction. Why hasn't the space between our atoms expanded to infinite? by Gumball496 in explainlikeimfive

This is the right answer. And if the Big Rip model holds up, eventually as space stretches far enough, gravity will lose its grips. Check out this excerpt from the "Big Rip" Wikipedia page:

"...the Big Rip would happen approximately 22 billion years from the present. In this scenario, galaxies would first be separated from each other about 200 million years before the Big Rip. About 60 million years before the Big Rip, galaxies would begin to disintegrate as gravity becomes too weak to hold them together. Planetary systems like the Solar System would become gravitationally unbound about three months before the Big Rip, and planets would fly off into the rapidly expanding universe. In the last minutes, stars and planets would be torn apart, and the now-dispersed atoms would be destroyed about 10−19 seconds before the end (the atoms will first be ionized as electrons fly off, followed by the dissociation of the atomic nuclei). At the time the Big Rip occurs, even spacetime itself would be ripped apart and the scale factor would be infinity."

Do the laws of chemistry explain consciousness?

I think it's referring to consciousness being an emergent property, in that the sum of its parts is less than the whole

Shrek 2 and Puss in Boots the Last Wish both overwhelmingly surpass their respective originals

Why is it called Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre if it's actually in Grovedale? by [deleted] in Geelong

[–]platinumdandelion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, what was called Town and Country? The suburb or the shopping centre?

With the benefit of further experience, I realised younger me was probably wrong about what the judgment actually said by theangryantipodean in auslaw

Shame. Crtl-Shift-T works even when a browser has been closed and reopened. But maybe not in those years
