What are the main differences between musicals and operas? | Stephen Sondheim was once asked by a friend of mine, who was Asst. Conducting Sweeney Todd at a big opera house, about the difference between seeing it done as an opera and a musical.
Sondheim responded: "It's about the expectation of the audience. When it's on Broadway people expect mediocre singing and good acting; when it's in an opera house people expect mediocre acting and good singing."

A 500 ft. train travelling 500 ft per minute must travel through a 500 ft long tunnel. How long will it take the train to travel through the tunnel? | It depends on perception. There can be two cases:-
Case 1:
The train is said to have travelled through the tunnel when its front end just crosses the tunnel.
Therefore distance = 500 ft
And time taken = 500/500 = 1 min
Case 2:
The train is said to have travelled through the tunnel when its back end just crosses the tunnel
Therefore distance = 1000 ft
And time taken = 1000/500 = 2 min

When Jordan annexed the West Bank was there any Palestinian resistance against Jordanian rule? Was the Jordanian administration formally legalized? | I would suggest that to fully understand the current Arab-Israeli conflict that you read the historian Joan Peter’s book “ From Time Immemorial “.
It is, without a doubt, the most meticulously researched, documented and balanced account of the origins and evolution of this conflict.
Ms. Peters had no “ agenda “ going into her investigation and all the information you read is strictly based on documented facts. There are absolutely no “ opinions “ presented for or against either side.

Why do cats abandon their owners? | One of the main reason is that people fail to understand how important sterilizing and neutering them is.Unlike dogs who were modified to be brainwashed drones that can’t consider leaving you whatever you do to them, but who also can’t really survive on their own outside for most of them, domestic cats are a lot closer to their wild counterpart.
They are excellent at hunting, in fact they are nature’s best hunter, and as every living creature, they still have a strong instinct, yes, it does include human too.The same way some people can’t stop themselves from committing sexual abuse because they can’t fight their urge (which is reproduction instinct, instinct isn’t an autopilot or a list of rules you know, it is how you are emotionally pushed into some behaviors), cats that still have their hormones telling them that they need to breed, own a territory and manage it will want to do it.
Unlike what many say, cats are really loving their owners, they are just showing it on a completely different way than we are used to, but they are still free, as any human, to choose to leave someone, and the same way couples breaks and people cheat on other, cats too can leave you, mainly knowing that their instinct tell them that they do prefer hunting than having easy food, that they need to expand their territory which should be much bigger than your house.
Also, to add to that, while cats are vital to human by controlling pest that would ruin human civilization, when they are too numerous, they also cause arm to the ecosystem,sterilizing/neutering your cat is good for him/her as he/she won’t have this uncontrollable urge to reproduce, and it will help to avoid to cause too many stray cats to cause problems while living harsh life.

And having fed a stray pussycat who gave birth to multiple kittens, most died, one of which we were able to adopt, and she is basically traumatized of her life outside and wouldn’t have survived if we didn’t feed her, she also gave birth to 5 kittens before we could take her home, and thankfully all of them have been adopted.

Without appealing to emotion or using ad hominem attacks, how can I convince conservatives that gun regulation is a good thing? | You can’t. When I see them post things like America has the world’s most restrictive gun laws (try to get one in Germany….), I realize they are more than willing to make shit up to “prove” their position. I, too, would like to hear the reasoned arguments, no appeals to an obsolete document, just a reasoned argument why they feel they need the guns. As a gun owner myself, I’ll start: I keep a handgun on the off-chance, vanishingly small, that someone would break into my house but primarily, because my parents got me the gun while I was an Air Force officer. I used it, a 9mm, as my sidearm.

Overall the acting and the cast are great.(Rating - 9+1/2(For SSR's Last smile) = 9.5/10)Directions :- Debutant Mukesh Chhabra doing a great work on direction. (Rating - 8/10)Music :- A. R. Rahman Great at the music. Special the Title Track and Tare Gin. Calm music always touch your heart and song tare gin make film more special from the music point of view. (Rating - 9/10)

As an American, do you agree that "statistics" that show the US way down low at #37 for quality of healthcare is far-left propaganda that folks in Europe, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand love to repeat, when in reality the US is always #1? | The problem is with you Americans is you can't handle the truth. I accept the findings of world health organisations and professional organisations when they are examining the quality of health care in Ireland where I live. But you conservatives never accept the truth on any issue, you would rather listen to populist propaganda from Fox News who were sued successfully by Dominion Voting systems for $ 787 million dollars for telling lies.

Why was Michael Jordan not drafted #1 overall when he was clearly the best college player at the time? Who's to blame? | Nobody is to blame. If I were the Rockets GM, I’d still pick Hakeem. Bowie had bigger potential upside than Jordan, and there is no way to know that injuries would have hampered his career so much. For all anyone knew, Jordan could have blown out his knee, too. It can happen to any player.
The idea that Michael Jordan is the GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME is now more a matter of almost religious faith than reason. There have been a lot of really great college players drafted into the NBA. There was no reason to suspect that Jordan would go from good to great any more than anyone else in the draft, because you had to be a really good college player back in the 80’s to even get on the radar for the NBA lottery to begin with.

Why do we need to know what a subspace is in vector algebra? | This is an application question answered slightly better by applied maths compared with abstract maths.
a. Subspace provides us the minimum set of objects to work in solving problems in differetial equations in engineering, fourier transforms in media processing, resource allocations in economics, dimensionality reduction using principal component analysis in machine learning etc.. i.e from a plenty of objects, we choose specific and minimalist set of objects in formulating a solution set. Think of range, span, basis etc.
b. Subspace maintains the linear property exhibited by the enclosing Vector space. Hence what ever linear operations we are able to do vector space we will also be able to do with subspace. This allows minimalist set of mathematical operations in solving problems. Think of , orthonganility, orthonormal, nullity etc are maintained in both vector space and its subspace.

What should writers know? | Every famous author was an aspiring writer, not every aspiring writer is a famous one.
Wonder why?
Here are a few things I've learned in my 12-year career as a national best-selling author!
This graph is the most accurate representation of my journey!
Honesty is what people care about!
Everyone wants to follow a trend in the chaotic writing industry. Only a few people have the courage and determination to deviate from the status quo and effect change. Often, aspiring writers become entangled in this web. They begin by copying trends and styles that have worked for other well-known authors, and they overlook the most important aspect of writing a book: being unique and true to themselves.
So, always write what you want to read, not what you think others will enjoy reading.
The most recent book that defied stereotypes is "The rudest book ever"!
2. Good things take time
I see so many young aspiring writers in such a hurry to get published that they neglect to work on laying the foundation.
Making mistakes and learning from them is the one unchanging rule of writing a book. When you write draft after draft of the same story, you realise how much more there is to explore than you initially began with.
As you write more, you should try out different writing styles and concentrate more on character and plot development.
Every author dreams of being a sensation overnight, but they forget even JK Rowling was rejected 12 times before becoming one of the most celebrated authors of all time.
So, Always remember even overnight success can take years to achieve.
3. Increase your knowledge
This point cannot be emphasised enough. Reading extensively will increase your vocabulary, and once you begin to read attentively, you will start to notice writing styles, sentence formation, and basic writing structure in every book you pick.
Reading more also aids in the development of new ideas and the overall shaping of the existing plotline.
If you're perplexed, read to clear your mind, and when you're bursting at the seams, write!
4. Be comfortable with Criticism
I've always admired my friends' ability to be objective critics of my work. When I first started writing, they read my work on a regular basis, praised me, but also suggested a few changes. Their feedback assisted me in reworking areas where I lacked as well as gaining a reader's perspective.
There were times when I wrote something I was extremely proud of but they didn't find it as exciting, but I always made sure to take something constructive from it and improve my work.
Take note: Choose people who will give you honest feedback and can point you in the right direction.
5. Practice writing
Just write, and keep writing. Even on days where you feel like skipping, write at least a paragraph or sentence. It can be completely different from your story but it will help keep up the habit. Once you develop the habit of writing every day, you will never feel tired of rewriting drafts after drafts of your book.
Don't try to replicate things; instead, create a habit that leads to the desired outcome.

What are some possible causes of sciatica and lower back pain? | Muscle strain: Muscle strain can be a result of poor posture or lifting too much weight, causing muscle fatigue and back pain.
Poor posture: Poor posture can put unnecessary strain on the various structures of the spine and result in back pain over time.
Bulging Discs: Discs act as shock absorbers to reduce stress on your spine and are located between your bony vertebrae. Disc injuries are common. They can appear as a result of sudden movements or from long-term postural stress, cause inflammation and pain, and in extreme cases can irritate nearby spinal nerves. This can cause radiating leg pain, tingling and numbness (often misdiagnosed as sciatica).
Facet joint sprains: Each of your vertebrae is connected to a vertebra above and below by two joints called facet joints, which can be sprained, as can your ankle if you move awkwardly. As with a sprained ankle, if the facet joints become inflamed, you will experience back pain and limited range of motion.
Sciatica: Sciatica is the Latin word for "pain in the back of the leg." Sciatica refers to pain usually caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve in the lower back. The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back, down the back of the thigh and calf, and into the foot. When compressed, the sciatic nerve can cause lower back pain that may radiate to the leg or buttocks. It can also cause tingling, numbness, muscle spasms, reduced flexibility and weakness.
There are several more serious reasons for lower back pain, such as disc injury, fracture, cancer, and infection. If you are suffering from sciatica or lower back pain then I have a unique solution which is to use the Acu-hump Sciatica Massager.
Acu-hump sciatica stretcher is a portable and ergonomic glute massager tool. It is designed to mimic a chiropractor’s fingers, and it can be used to apply pressure points therapy on the affected area that allows you to self massage deep tissue.

1. Honey never spoils. Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old and still perfectly edible.
2. There are more possible iterations of a game of chess than there are atoms in the observable universe.
3. Cleopatra lived closer in time to the invention of the iPhone than she did to the construction of the Great Pyramid.
4. A day on Venus is longer than its year. Venus takes about 243 Earth days to rotate on its axis, but only about 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun.
5. The Great Wall of China is not visible from space with the naked eye. It's a common myth, but astronauts have confirmed that it's not easily visible from low Earth orbit.
6. Octopuses have three hearts: two pump blood to the gills, and one pumps it to the rest of the body.
7. There are more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
8. The closest living relatives to the Tyrannosaurus rex are birds like chickens and ostriches.
9. The length of your foot is the same as the length of your forearm.
10. Wombat poop is cube-shaped. This helps prevent it from rolling away on steep surfaces.
11. Humans share about 50% of their DNA with bananas.
12. The time it takes for a baby to develop its taste buds is around 13 weeks, which is why they start developing a preference for certain flavors before birth.
These facts are just a glimpse of the amazing and curious aspects of our world. If you'd like to know more about a specific topic, feel free to ask!

Who is the most vile and heartless villain in comics? | I’d have to go with doflamingo from the manga “one piece” as being not only the most evil but my favorite.
Doflamingo is the literal embodiment of what a villain is. He doesn’t have any tragic backstory or reason for what he does he just does it because he wants to be in control. He wants everything to go his way and he would do anything to do so. In the one piece manga there’s something known as a “warlord” which is a pirate who has a contract working with the government. The marines have to choose who they want as a warlord however doflamingo tricked the government into becoming one. What did he do with that power?
He tricked the rightful king of a country known as “dressrosa” into killing his own people. Why? Because he wanted to enslave the people of the country. He entered the kings room one night and told him he would die if he didn’t hand over all of his, and his citizens money. The king begged the citizens, who were mostly poor, for their money and they gave it to him because they trusted him. However when the king went out in public to ask and beg for their money doflamimgo quite literally used him as a puppet.
There’s another thing in one piece called “devil fruits” and doflamingos devil fruit is known as the “ito ito no mi”. He can attach strings to things and even use them as weapons using this devil fruit power, so while the king was in public he attached a string to him and forced him to slaughter his own people. No one knew this was really the work of doflamingo besides one soldier known as kyros. Kyros did everything in his power to stop doflamingo but in the end got his leg cut off and got cursed to where everyone forgot him. Eventually doflamingo knocks the king out and everyone sees him as a hero. Doflamingo became the new king in his “heroic” act. 10 years later the main character of the manga comes around and sets free doflamingos slaves, which angers him. Because of this he set his entire island inside of what he called the “bird cage” which was really his strings that were strong enough to cut a canon ball apart. While everyone was trapped in here he manipulated all of them the same way he did with the king 10 years ago. Throughout the 10 years he was king he murdered and raped innocent citizens without anyone else knowing, why? Because he set the same curse on them he did with the kings bet soldier.

What's your favourite British myth or legend? | King Arthur and the round table.
This has recently been discussed again due to the discovery that the blue stones at Stonehenge were originaly part of a much older Welsh stone circle, before being moved to its current site. This was discovered in Waun Mawn, in West Wales.
This was proven because a specific blue stone with an unusual shape at the bottom fitted perfectly into one of the ghost holes in Wales, and the blue stone (which can have different minerals depending on where it was mined) matched perfectly with remnants left in the pits when they were removed.
Much speculation has been made about why they were moved. Was it because of unification of people, and the discovery of a special new site with natural earth markings aligned with the solstice? (Chalk grooves in the earth left after the last ice age, discovered in recent years, pointing towards the ‘entrance’ of Stonehenge). Or, were they stolen and taken to the new site because of their special significance?
The oldest stories about King Arthur (900 years old) talk about Merlin leading men to Ireland to capture a magical stone circle and bringing it back to England as a monument to the dead. This part of Wales was considered part of Ireland at the time. Coincidence? This story was always discounted, but it does make you think.
Our ancient past was taught through oral history. When things were later written down it was done by the monks in Churches, and were then destroyed by Vikings, so we lost those links to our past. However, that oral history could still have been passing down the stories, eventually leading to that story from 900 years ago being written down.
We will never know, but it is interesting when archeology matches with a myth.

The most likely attack is to cut multiple flex hoses on front and rear wheels. However back to your question assuming the attacker knew his stuff and failed all your brake hydraulics. This leaves you with only the hand brake to slow the car down by brakes. If this was cut then no direct braking available.
To slow the vehicle in this situation selecting the lowest possible gear whilst keeping the engine going you will have to initially raise engine speed dramatically, to have a chance of getting the lowest possible forward gear.
Keep your feet off the accelerator from now on . Assuming the handbrake still works, a combination of low gears If speed allows you to get them and application of handbrake if working. , Do not touch the accelerator provided you are not going down a steep hill the vehicle should be losing speed now.
From now on the only way of slowing to a stop is to switch off the engine whilst still in the lowest gear you can select. Care is needed now, as the steering lock might be activated so switch to aux ( engine off position ) . Now you should have lost a lot speed and can decide if it is safe to shut the engine off completely.
The car should, slow to a stop as there is no power and the dead engine will act as a brake. Good Luck.

Diversify Your Portfolio for Long-Term Gains
Putting all your money into a single asset is fraught with risk. The key to mitigating this risk lies in diversification, which involves spreading your investments across various asset classes. By doing so, you reduce the impact of poor performance from a single investment on your overall portfolio. For steady, long-term gains, consider including stocks, bonds, real estate, and other investment instruments in your portfolio.
Harness the Power of Compound Interest
In the realm of finance, few forces rival the potency of compound interest. This phenomenon allows your money to grow exponentially over time. By reinvesting your earnings, you generate additional returns on your initial investment. Embrace this strategy early on, and even small amounts can metamorphose into significant wealth in the long run.
Invest in High-Quality Stocks
Throughout history, stocks have outperformed many other assets. To capitalize on their potential, seek out well-established companies with strong fundamentals, stable earnings, and a proven history of growth. Prioritize thorough research of the company's financials and industry trends before making your investment.
Explore the World of Real Estate
Real estate can be an invaluable addition to your investment portfolio. Ownership of property opens doors to rental income and the possibility of appreciation over time. Tailor your choices between residential or commercial properties based on your risk appetite and investment goals.
Consider Bonds and Fixed-Income Investments
For relatively stable returns and regular interest payments, look towards bonds and fixed-income investments. Government bonds and high-quality corporate bonds are often perceived as safer options, serving as a cushion during market downturns.
Tap into the Potential of Mutual Funds and ETFs
Mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) present an opportunity to pool resources with other investors to create a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other assets. Their appeal lies in instant diversification and professional management, making them an attractive option for beginners.
Keep an Eye on Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies have been capturing significant attention in recent years. Their potential for extraordinary returns intrigues many investors, but they also come with high volatility and regulatory uncertainties. Exercise caution and only invest what you can afford to lose.
FAQs
1: What Are the Best Ways to Invest for Beginners?
For beginners, the best approach is to start with small investments and embrace diversification. Mutual funds or ETFs are excellent choices as they offer instant diversification and require minimal investment knowledge.
2: How Much Should I Invest in Stocks?
The amount you invest in stocks should be based on your risk tolerance and financial goals. Generally, experts recommend allocating around 60% to 70% of your portfolio to stocks for long-term growth.
3: Are Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) a Good Option?
Yes, REITs offer a viable option for investors seeking exposure to real estate without direct property ownership. They provide dividends to shareholders and a chance to benefit from real estate assets.
4: Should I Invest in International Markets?
Investing in international markets adds diversification to your portfolio but comes with additional risks, including currency fluctuations and geopolitical factors.
5: What Are the Risks of Cryptocurrency Investment?
Cryptocurrency investment carries substantial risks due to its high volatility and regulatory uncertainties. Invest only what you can afford to lose.
6: How Can I Minimize Investment Risks?
To minimize risks, follow a diversification strategy. Avoid putting all your money into a single investment and regularly review your portfolio to rebalance when needed.

What’s the most important thing to know when you want to learn how to use a ham radio? | If all you want to do is “use” an amateur radio station (that is the CORRECT terminology) all,you need to know is how to spend unlimited amounts of time, with an unlimited number of strangers, yakking about nothing of importance, and actually enjoying it.

Are open-world video games getting too big for their own good? | Let me put on my “old-timer” hat, and say, “You think this world is too big? Try dying in Everquest, where your corpse is in West Karanas, you’re bound in the ‘bazaar’ in the tunnels of East Commonlands, and you have to run, naked, through 6 zones for 30 minutes, dodging MOBs all the way (and probably dying… again… and starting the run all over), in order to get to your corpse and its items. And losing experience with every death.”
As long as the zones have enough to do in them, then they aren’t too big. Well, as long as you don’t have to make that naked, 30 minute corpse run (which, thankfully, went away in the early 2000s).

What happens when you get pulled over doing 100 mph? | I remember buying a brand new Pontiac sunbird with a Buick 3.8l engine in 1978. My previous car was a Pinto for comparison. It seemed that in my new car 80 felt like 45 in the Pinto
I was driving down the NJ turnpike and knew I was over the speed limit but just enjoying how smooth the ride was, when I got pulled over by a State Trooper.
He came up to me and calmly asked for my license and registration which I provided. He then asked in the same calm voice “Do you know how fast you were going”?
I told him I didn’t know
He replied “I clocked you at 110 as you passed me”
Then in the same calm professional voice, he said “Mr. Chung, are you aware that the New Jersey Turnpike is one of the deadliest highways in the United States”?
I replied “Yes sir, I have heard that”
He then put his face inches in front of mine and yelled at the top of voice “SO SLOW THE F*CK DOWN”
Then back to the professional voice as he’d handed back my license snd registration “Have a good day”
No ticket, but I was a little shaken by the experience.
I took the next exit and drove home doing 55

Do sunset towns still exist in America where only whites are allowed after dark?

When some other co-workers overhead our conversation they said that Fouke was like that the blacks were not welcome there. so hearsay on my part as I never visited the village.

How many cars can fit on a cargo ship? | Fun fact - I know that it sounds like cars would go on a CARgo ship, but most cars are actually transported on ships called ro-ros, which means roll on-roll off.
Chapter II–1 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) defines them as being “a passenger ship with ro-ro cargo spaces or special category spaces.”
The largest of them are over 860 feet long and are capable of carrying around 6,000 cars. The average roro goes at a speed of 16 knots and the technology these ships use is honestly insane, including things like decks that can move up and down so larger vehicles can fit.
To everyone reading - thanks and have a wonderful day!

After you prepared to retire, what area of your life did not go as planned? | “… what area of your life did not go as planned? “ Years ago I bought this property out in the country. To me I was in heaven. The land had trees where when you pulled into the driveway during the growing season it was like pulling into a cave. Now I’m old and can’t get around as good anymore. The trees that I loved so much are now a curse. I don’t have the stamina or strength to deal with the fallen limbs and whole downed trees anymore. Once I finally get a hold on the clean up another storm comes through and puts limbs and trees back on the ground. Plus the lawn care… 30 years ago you could buy a riding mower that was built to last a lifetime. Now they are built to barely get you through one season. So the constant repairs on the mower is getting daunting too. So now a tiny house on a cookie-cutter lot with a tiny-tiny lawn looks like heaven to me.

Why have you chosen to live in the San Francisco Bay area? | I graduated college in 1980 and moved to Carmel, CA for a job at Hyatt Hotels. Who wouldn’t fall in love with CA when you are living next to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world? Originally from Delaware, I could not believe my luck! The hotel biz took me to Palo Alto and then downtown Oakland. I did not like the job in Oaktown so took a year and went back to DE and worked with my Dad. After a year, I returned to the Bay Area and Palo Alto. Made some great friends thru Ultimate Frisbee at Stanford. I really missed CA! After moving back, I eventually started an events company with my wife and it took off during the ensuing 27 years. We retired just before the pandemic and feel very fortunate. In the meantime, I have been sailing the bay for the last 40 years. I have found my passion and sail 3 times a week on our sparkling bay! I love it here and cannot imagine living anywhere else!

Why don't people do their homework and study it out to realize Obama is a communist? | Why should they bother? This question was asked in August 2023. Barack Obama is old news. He has been out of office, and mostly out of the public eye, for six and a half years.
What possible difference could it make if people learned that he was a communist? They can’t vote against him, because he will probably never run for office again. He can’t impose communism on the country.
And in America, it is legal to be a communist.

Why aren't Macs being built with touch screens? | Apple wouldn’t have a problem making laptops with touch screens, since iOS and macOS are converging, and since they already have large touch screens on iPads—but what is their motivation? Their sales are doing fine.
I observe that Input surfaces seem to work best when they are horizontal and displays seem to work best when they are vertical. (Notice that there are no laptops with horizontal screens and vertical keyboards.) When iPads and Microsoft Surfaces are used at 45°, both input and output are comfortable on the same surface—so they have touch screens. However, when people use them vertically as displays, they tend to touch them less and add keyboards because holding your arms out horizontally for a long time is very tiring. That is probably why Apple makes keyboards for iPads but does not make touch screens for laptops.
Back in iPod days, a lot of people wondered why iPods didn't include FM radios. After all, Zune did, and we know what a competitive edge that gave Zune—if you can even remember what a Zune was. Customers were noisy enough that Apple did come out with an FM radio accessory for the iPod, but it wasn’t popular and it faded from the market without anyone noticing.
Feel free to diagnose me as weird, but I think computer manufacturers put touch screens in laptops for bragging rights—hey, we have this neat feature that Apple doesn’t have! The people who want touch-screen laptops are vocal, but they are not creating a stampede away from Apple that would cause Apple to change their product.

What is the string theory about? | I am a cave man, I have not studied Earth physics that much as yet.
But, I have gained little ability to enter different dimensions around us which other writers are discussing here.
I goal has been Enlightenment and creating healing technology, therefore i have different point of view.
I have just finished watching, Big bang theory, so in that sitcom, a string theory has been discussed a lot, so I did my research on string theory as a cave man.
If you did not understand anything said above by other physics scholars I can give you some food for mind through which you can explore string theory on your own.
I was travelling and somebody explained me “ String theory like this” he called String theory as Shoe String theory, alright, I made sense of his hypothesis like this, your strings of both shoes are connected in some different dimensions. Which can also be known as Astral Dimensions by a Spiritual Scientist
With these eyes we can only see this Physical Dimension,( but when you open your third eye you can enter other Astral Dimensions) there are other dimensions which are less solid than this physical reality where we spend 16 hours a day, if we are sleeping for 8 hours and we enter dream based dimensions, I think you get to experince other dimensions them in sci-fi and superheroes movies. Which which they travel in different times, future or past events.
So, shoe strings of your left shoe is connected with the right shoe strings in some different dimension.
In spiritual Scriptures they spoke about that we are all one, connected with some invisible threads, individuality is a myth, here I suppose that; Spiritual people have entered these dimensions in their meditation and gathered this information from there where everything is connected with everything through these strings.
They called the connectors as love (true love feeling).
Healers has different point of view, if they see somebody sick and sufferring too much, they know for sure, that the persons Strings got raptured due to some traumatic incident, so he enters other dimensions and with his intention powers he repairs those broken strings and person is healthy again.
Moving to Mr. TESLA I think he entered these dimensions also, his point of view was different, he saw unlimited energy surrounding these strings and he thought of harvesting and transferring those energy to full fill human's insatiable desire for energy in this Dimension.
I suppose that's how he thought about transferring current or electricity around without any wires, I think through those strings which connects everything with everything like a membrane in other dimensions. (We need that technology now).
I think deep understanding of “String Theory” clearly can bring huge transcending evolution to humanity. Or by evolving our beliefs about life can bring more understanding about String theory. It's a life's saviour theory, I think was solved by Mr.Tesla, either people who got hold of it did not understand it because if their limiting belief system or they want to keep this planet on status quo.
I believe they did not understand it clearly, that's why it's not out and helping humanity with its energy needs. We are still destroying for our energy needs, when we are all surrounded by inexhaustible energy around us.
The Caveman.

American politics in general is far to the right of where it was in the 1950s and 60s. Eisenhower today would be on the far left of the American political spectrum.

The Mahabharata | I will present the top 10 people of Mahabharata
10. Ghatotkacha
Ghatotkacha is the son of Bheema and Hidimbhi. On the fourteenth day of the Kurukshetra, the battle continued past sunset. When the bright moon rose, [LINKED_TEXT: Ghatotkach] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghatotkacha], son of [LINKED_TEXT: Bhima] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhima] slaughtered numerous warriors, attacking while flying in the air. Karna stood against him and both fought fiercely until Karna released the Shakti, a divine weapon given to him by [LINKED_TEXT: Indra] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indra]. Ghatotkach increased his size and fell dead on the Kaurav army killing thousands of them.
9. Bheema
Bheema is the second of the Pandava brothers. He was known for his macho personality and great power. He killed all the Kaurava brothers including Duryodana. On the 18th day of the battle, when Duryodana ran away from the battlefield and was later found by the Pandavas, he went into a duel with Duryodana and killed him, marking the end of the great battle of Kurukshetra.
8. Drishtadyumna
Drishtadyumna is the Commnaner-in-Chief of the Pandava army for all the 18 days of war. He killed Drona and many others in the Kaurava army. After the war is over, Ashwatthama, Kripacharya, and Kritavarma met [LINKED_TEXT: Duryodhana] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duryodhana] at his deathbed and promised to avenge the actions of [LINKED_TEXT: Bhima] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhima]. They attacked the Pandavas' camp later that night and killed all the Pandavas' remaining army including [LINKED_TEXT: their children] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upapandavas]. He was slaughtered in that attack.
7. Drona
Dronacharya is the teacher of both Kauravas and Pandavas. He taught archery to both Arjuna & Karna and mace fight to both Bheema and Duryodana. After King [LINKED_TEXT: Drupada] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drupada] and King [LINKED_TEXT: Virata] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virata] were slain by [LINKED_TEXT: Drona] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drona], [LINKED_TEXT: Bhima] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhima], and [LINKED_TEXT: Dhristadyumna] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhristadyumna] fought him on the fifteenth day. Because Drona was very powerful and inconquerable having the irresistible brahmadanda, Krishna hinted to Yudhisthira that Drona would give up his arms if his son Ashwathama was dead. Bhima proceeded to kill an elephant named Ashwathama, and loudly proclaimed that Ashwathama was dead. Drona approached Yudhisthira to seek the truth of his son's death. Yudhisthira proclaimed Ashwathama Hatahath, naro va Kunjaro va, implying Ashwathama had died but he was nor sure whether it was a Drona's son or an elephant, The latter part of his proclamation (Naro va Kunjaro va) were drowned out by sound of the conch blown by Krishna. Drona was disheartened, and laid down his weapons. He was then killed by [LINKED_TEXT: Dhristadyumna] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhristadyumna] to avenge his father's death and satisfy his vow.
6. Abhimanyu
Abhimanyu was the son of Arjuna. He heard about the strategies to enter into the Chakra Vyuha when he was in his mother's womb. On the battlefield when the four Pandavas and their allies were finding it impossible to break Dronacharya's "Chakra Vyuh" formation as Arjuna was busy fighting on the other side of the battlefield, he could not be summoned to break the [LINKED_TEXT: Chakra vyuha] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra_Vyuha] formation, which could only be broken by entering and exiting the formation. Yudhisthira instructed, [LINKED_TEXT: Abhimanyu] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhimanyu], one of Arjuna's sons to break the Chakra vyuha formation. Abhimanyu knew the secret of entering the Chakra vyuh formation, but did not know how to exit it. [LINKED_TEXT: Abhimanyu] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhimanyu] slew tens of thousands of warriors. He also killed Dhuryodhana's son and Durmashana who was [LINKED_TEXT: Dushasana] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dushasana]'s son. Duryodana ordered his men to attack [LINKED_TEXT: Abhimanyu] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhimanyu] all at once. [LINKED_TEXT: Abhimanyu] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhimanyu] fought but was surrounded and killed by many warriors in a combined attack.
5.Ashwathama
Ashwatthama was one of the most underrated warrior of the whole Mahabharata. He had many powerful divine weapons like Narayanastra and Agneyastra. He created havoc in Pandava army after the death of his father. He was the sun of guru drona and kripi. He was a ansh of lord Shiva and becomes almost undefeated when he is angry . He was one of the few Maharathis who survived the Mahabharata war .
4. Bhishma
Bhishma is the grandfather of both the Pandavas and the Kauravas. He is the most powerful warrior on the Kauravas side along with Karna. He has been the Commander-in-Chief of the Kaurava army for first 10 days of war. On the tenth day, the Pandavas, unable to withstand Bhishma's prowess, decided to put [LINKED_TEXT: Shikhandi] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikhandi], who had been a woman in a prior life in front of Bhishma, as Bhishma has taken a vow not to attack a woman. Shikhandi's arrows fell on Bhishma without hindrance. Arjuna positioned himself behind Shikhandi, protecting himself from Bhishma's attack, and aimed his arrows at the weak points in Bhishma's armour. Soon, with arrows sticking from every part of his body, the great warrior fell from his chariot. His body did not touch the ground as it was held aloft by the arrows protruding from his body.
3. Arjuna
Arjuna is the third one of the Pandava brothers. The greatest warrior on the Pandavas' side. He is said to have the greatest sight, fiercest moves and perfect aim in archery. When Krishna told Arjuna and Duryodhana that he would give the Narayani Sena, to one side, and himself as a non-combatant to the other. When given the choice of either Krishna's army or Krishna Himself on their side, Arjuna on behalf of the Pandavas chose Krishna, unarmed on his own, relieving Duryodhana, who thought Arjuna to be the greatest fool. Later Arjuna requested Krishna to be his charioteer, and Krishna, being an intimate friend of Arjuna, agreed wholeheartedly, and hence received the name Parthasarthy, or 'charioteer of the son of Pritha'. Arjuna killed numerous soldiers of the Kaurava army including the greatest warriors on the Kaurava side, Bhishma and Karna.
2. Karna
Karna was the first son of Kunti. But out of friendship he decided to fight alongside Duryodana in the battle. He promised Bhishma not to enter the battlefield till he was there fighting because the presence of both of them will be the end of the Pandava army. He entered Kurukshetra after Bhishma fell onto the bed of arrows. [LINKED_TEXT: Karna] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karna] defeated the Pandava brothers Nakul, Bhima, [LINKED_TEXT: Sahadeva] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahadeva] and [LINKED_TEXT: Yudhisthira] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yudhisthira] in battle but spared their lives as he swore not to kill his brothers except Arjuna. Later, Karna resumed duelling with [LINKED_TEXT: Arjuna] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arjuna]. During their duel, Karna's chariot wheel got stuck in the mud and Karna asked for a pause. Krishna reminded Arjuna about Karna's ruthlessness unto [LINKED_TEXT: Abhimanyu] [URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abhimanyu] while he was similarly left without chariot and weapons. Hearing his son's fate, Arjuna shot his arrow and decapitated Karna. Before the day's battle, Karna's sacred armour ('Kavacha') and earrings ('Kundala') were taken as alms by Lord Indra when asked for, which resulted in his death by Arjuna's arrows.
1. Krishna
Lord Krishna is considered as the eighth incarnation of Vishnu. Even though he promised not to fight in the battle, yet he is the greatest and he most powerful warrior in the whole tale of Mahabharata. If he had entered the war, then it would have ended in the blink of an eye. He acted as Arjuna's charioteer and strategist. On the ninth day Krishna, overwhelmed by anger at the apparent inability of Arjuna to defeat Bhishma, rushed towards the Kaurava commander, with the wheel of a fallen chariot in his hands. Bhishma lays down his arms and is ready to die at the hands of the Lord, but Arjuna stops Him, reminding of His promise not to wield a weapon.

What is the cutest incident you had with your crush? | Today in the morning, after my sleep get over , I was lying on bed thinking about the cutest incident had with my crush. Then, I woke up and searched this question to answer here.
I had 5 crushes since childhood till now, I like to share those incidents with their real names. I don't want to fake it.
Crush 1: Her name is Vinitha. Once , We were in Class 6 sitting in front bench , while my physics teacher is distributing exam papers ( She segregated boys and girls papers. She started distributing boys papers from last roll numbers and girls papers from first roll numbers). Luckily , my name is in second roll number and her name is in last second roll number. Meanwhile, I told her that I seen a love song where lovers see eachother 's eyes so long. Can we try this here?😀. She told “yes”. We started to look eachother eyes long time while others were surrounded our teacher. Her friend came suddenly waved her hand in between us and asked “ What's happening here”. My crush told “ Nonsense, get out of here”. We didn't got distracted till our teacher call our names to get exam papers. This is very funny incident. Years passed on, She is still in contact, but she would have forgotten this. She is nice person.
Crush 2: Her name is Anila. We were in Class 8. She is topper of our class. She looks beautiful. Few boys started giving line to her but I’m the only one who thinks her as crush. One day, we were splited into groups for class presentation. I'm in her group and she is leading. I have to do chart works at home which my sister helped me out. Next day, I showed the chart work to her. She dragged me to her pulling my hand since, my voice was not audible to her. I told all my friends that she did this. I felt the touch for whole day.😀😀.😀 She is not in contact for past 6 years. Recently, I checked her Fb profile, she got married 😊. She is friendly and lovable person.
Crush 3: Her name is Gowthami. We were in same department in engineering college. For our technical symposium, our seniors called us for preparing list. Myself , start doing system work which my seniors got impressed because in short time , I prepared list from large collection of data. She was near me, sitting in front of system doing same work. She stared at me for few seconds.😉 I noticed , but I ignored that because I thought that I got impressed from seniors but she didn't😀. She is my one time crush. She is not in contact for past 4 years. She is emotional and friendly person.She got married recently in this pandemic.
Crush 4: Her name is Puja . We are collegues from same year of birth. We are nearby seats. I stopped talking to people too much and find hard mingling with people easily for past 11 years , I became introvert. She is talkative, so I became her good listener. Days goes on, Our collegues gossips that we are lovers. One day , one collegue asked straight to our face. We laughed for the gossips , but we felt it is a crush but never say to each other. She is emotional and friendly person 😀.
Crush 5: Her name is Priyanka. We were of same age. We met eachother in random online site. We spoke a lot about our profession, our friends, the climate, our parents, our siblings and our astrology beliefs. We started knowing each other. I started inspiring her. She was waiting that I will give my WhatsApp number. I told her my whatsapp number. Later , she shared her number. She seen my pic in dp but I can't see her face in her dp. We exchanged our FB names. My motive is to see her face. Lastly, I seen her face. I told her that “ you look old than me, curiosity made me to see your face, but I can't be your perfect match”😔. She replied that “ i have the same feeling after seeing the pic but you had stick to your family's astrology beliefs that is the bitter truth”.🤐 . If I had fall in love with her , I would have proposed her inspite of the external beauty since love is blind but it doesn't happened with her before and after seeing her pic. She is still in my contact .She is bold and loyal person.
I feel lovers can't be friends. Likewise, crushes can't be friends. That is also a special category.

Why would a narcissist block you on Facebook then unblock you then block you again? | Mind games of course but the game plan goes something like this.
Being blocked is punishment for some transgression or another no matter how minor but also to initiate control. Once they believe enough pain inflicted they show leniency by unblocking but also to see how keen you are to contact. More enough than not victims always take advantage of their generosity by going overboard with apologies which of course plays right into their hands.
Narcissists usually start this nonsense when confident they have partner or acquaintance well and truly sussed. Those of independent nature likely to reciprocate by then blocking narc as a parting gesture. A kind of telepathic up yours mate farewell. Those of a people pleasing disposition do the opposite and simply get mucked around for as long as narc can be bothered.
Moral of story. When they start this nonsense it really is the beginning of the end.
Suggest read chapter ‘Narcissists and control’ in book entitled:
‘Prepare to be tortured. The price you will pay for dating a narcissist’.

How badly would Madara wreck Tobirama if they got into a fight? | I’ve said something about this before.
Madara was always weaker than the the Senju brothers.The Uchiha clan as a whole was second to the Senju. People seem to think all the Uchiha ran around with MS and top notch SG. Not so not all Uchiha unlock the SG or SG 3 tomoe. Only 2 ever unlocked the MS during the time of Hashirama vs Madara fued.Senju were all known for the ease of learning jutsu and the ability to wield powerful ones. Tobirama was the Minato of the Senju.Madara when they were alive couldn’t handle Tobirama on his best day. If he ever fought Tobirama and got away, Tobirama would have marked him to kill him later.
Lets put it this way:
Tobirama/Minato vs. Madara/Young Hurizen Sarutobi
No matter how strong he is, how many jutsu he knows instant movement wins.
Like someone said Hashirama STOPPED him from fighting Madara because he knew he would kill him without hesitation. Because Hashirama was the first user of talk no jutsu, he kept thinking he could change him.
Until that faithful day he “killed” him at the falls, because he threatened the Leaf Village.

What is the biggest problem with the modern education system? | The US education system fails because it arbitrarily forces performance requirements based on age. It’s like they are squeezing every child into a mold regardless of the child’s learning speed. Once you comprehend this issue, you realize the IQ score is meaningless as well because it is a quotient of age. When people graduate college and start their work life, age means nothing, so why is it so crucial in K-12 and why is IQ so crucial?
When a child starts to fall behind, it becomes more and more difficult for them to catch up, with this effect compounding all the way to their last day of school. Children that learn slower than others (for whatever reason, sometimes chaos at home is enough of a distraction) must be given sufficient time for them to master a topic before they move on to the next topic. This approach is called the “Mastery” approach, championed by free online education resources such as Kahn Academy. Without this approach, children who have a harder time learning have a very low likelihood of going to college and succeeding in life, and a very high likelihood of dropping out of society and turning to crime and drugs.
We need a sea change in the US, with modern technology we can easily switch to mastery based learning, each child going at their own best pace. You may think many children will take longer to graduate, but because they are safeguarded against the compounding effect of them falling behind, the delay in graduation for many will be less than it is now, and the educational achievement will be much higher. The current system simply can not accommodate a wide range of learning speeds, so it caters to a small range and neglects children who fall outside this range, both on the low side and the high side.

What is the string theory about? | All of the string theories are attempts to understand the nature of the vacuum through quantum mechanical methods, particularly with respect to the energy at a given point in that space. They are models of, and so aim to describe, a zero-dimensional point in space. The initial success of string theory was in modelling that zero-dimensional point as a 1-dimensional string - working with zero was notoriously problematic and including a degree of freedom with this single dimension gave new ‘life’ to a stalled progression. A mathematical model ensued, borne out of theory and empirical data from particle accelerators that suggested more dimensions were required to fully model the point. The critical dimension at which the mathematical model balanced was 26. And this is the number of dimensions that are thought to constitute the zero-dimensional point. Further development of the mathematics revealed a symmetry that resulted in the need for only 10 dimensions in the model.
Six different string theory models emerged. The first, and essentially the 'raw data' used to establish the symmetry of the other 5 models, is the 'bosonic' string theory. It was rejected as a consistent theory on two grounds. Firstly, the theory only defines the boson and not the fermion and secondly, the theory requires and thus predicts a particle with 'imaginary' mass called a tachyon. The real instability arose when the mathematics suggested the tachyon moved faster than the speed of light.
Five other string theories that identified symmetry in the mathematics, emerged. We can broadly classify these supersymmetry string theories into 2 types - types I and II - distinguished here by the use of a theoretical construct called a D-brane in the type II theories. D-branes are 2-dimensional planes upon which open strings can attach to become closed strings. More importantly, for quantum matter systems in the standard model, these plane functions map out, what is termed, a 'worldsheet' - which can loosely be interpreted as the boundary surface for the zero-dimensional point. There is a sense here, from the use of D-branes, that focus in the type II string theories is shifting from the geometric framework (which can only reveal symmetry) to a concept that considers the overlying construction to that framework.
The names of the 5 string theories that use symmetry considerations are; type I, type IIA, type IIB and 2 heterotic theories, namely SO(32) and E8xE8.
While each theory uses a different geometric analytical framework, each is trying to represent the same event using that framework in Euclidean space. And given that the empirical data and foundational mathematics are the same and that all the geometries 'revolve' around a central point, i.e. the origin (0,0,0....depending on the number of axes - or dimensions - passing through it), we might conclude that the models for each of the 5 consistent string theories can be aligned through their origins and geometrically transformed to one another. The standard perception of these 5 string theories is that they are all limiting cases of a unifying theory - called M-theory.
Axiomatically, from the table above, the 5 string theories can be considered as identical under transformation. Those transformations come in the form of 3 mathematical tools called s-duality, t-duality and orientifolding. S-duality and t-duality are transformations to the functions representing the relationship between the quantum numbers assigned to the theories - according to their individual conceptual frameworks, i.e. the dilaton, the graviton, the radion, winding number, etc. Orientifolding, on the other hand, is a transformation that operates on the dimension-interpreting geometric framework that defines the 26 dimensions of bosonic theory and the 10 dimensions in the fermionic theories.
It was recognised early in the development of the string theories that the type I theory - which uses unoriented open and closed strings - could be equated to the type IIB theory through a process called 'orientifolding'. Orientifolding can be interpreted as a 180 degree rotation of the model’s geometric framework about the central plane (perpendicular to the polar line) - effectively switching polar positions through inversion. If the model works unaffected by the transformation then the strings being modelled will be unoriented but if the inversion changes the model then the orientation of strings is important. Orientifolding the type IIB geometry changes its state from oriented to unoriented - as in the type I theory. Anomalies still existed in the type IIB after it was transformed, but these anomalies cancelled when the D-brane construct from type IIB was applied to type I. In the (reverse) transformation therefore, type I is changed from an unoriented to an oriented model through a geometric transformation that takes account of polarity - the very reason oriented strings are required - and is further changed by use of the same theoretical construct as used by the type IIB - the D-brane - closing off all open string solutions in the type I - thus equating it to type IIB.
Both the type I and type IIB theories are themselves equivalent to the heterotic SO(32) and type IIB theories (i.e. type IIB is equivalent to itself), respectively, under another transformation called s-duality. S-duality is a well-established mathematical constraining tool for functions that quickly tend to infinity. The transformation is made around the line y=1. Functions that quickly move from 1 to infinity are rotated about the y=1 line, confining the function's movement to an analytical space between 1 and zero. The function, instead of spinning off into infinity, now starts at 1 and then slowly tends toward zero as x increases. The transformation changes the function f(x)=y to f(x)=1/y, but because the x-component is unaffected, a given value for y in both functions returns the same value of x in each - or conversely a given value for x returns 2 y-solutions, one in each function, that are the inverse of each other. Furthermore, for certain functions that intersect the y-axis (or start) at y=1, such as a function of the exponent e, this transformation is equivalent to another simple transformation of a rotation around the y-axis (x=0). For example, if the function of y is the exponent e raised to the power x for all x, then its path in the +x/+y quadrant of the analytical framework starts at 1 and quickly moves out to infinity. Under an s-duality transformation, the function is rotated and constrained between y=1 and y=0 in the same quadrant. The new function then becomes a reflection of that part of the original function that extends from x=0 through all negative x, i.e. the original function's movement through the -x/+y quadrant as it tends to zero. Therefore an s-duality transformation is equivalent to a simple rotation about the y-axis for a 'well-behaved' function such as y=e^x - but only for positive values of x and y.
There is one more transformation - t-duality - that equates the SO(32) heterotic and type IIB theories to the heterotic E8xE8 and type IIA theories, respectively. T-duality can be interpreted as a transformation that equates the value of x with the value of y. Let’s consider the 2 forces in play for a number of string theories - the external expansive force of the local vacuum, represented by the dilaton and the internal contractive force of the string, represented by the graviton. In physical terms, we imagine that these 2 forces act so as to create oscillation in string matter systems. In the expansive phase, the dilaton is greater than the graviton and thus the strings expand. The force in the expanding string - the graviton - increases as the oscillation pulls the matter system out. Ultimately the force represented by the graviton exceeds that of the dilaton and the matter system starts to contract under that greater force. Here we see the values of the graviton and dilaton varying inversely with respect to each other. At the point of expansion the dilaton has a large value and the graviton a small one. At the point of contraction the values are reversed. However, this suggests that there is a point - somewhere in the middle - where the dilaton and the graviton are equal. Geometrically, the t-duality transformation is made around the line y=x. This means that when the 2 forces are equal, the curve representing them becomes asymptotic to the line y=x such that the single solution equality remains under the transformation.
With these 3 transformations, the 5 fermionic string theories can be equated to each other, i.e. are seen to be equivalent. This is intuitive given that the geometries used revolve around a central point - the symmetry creating point of rotation - and the empirical data and the theoretical foundation are the same, and that each theory describes exactly the same entity - albeit under a different conceptual framework. Examining the table in fig.7, we see a further symmetry in the model types. As discussed, the type I and type IIB are seen as equivalent under the process of orientifolding. Applying an s-duality transformation to both equates these theories to the SO(32) heterotic and type IIB, respectively, and a t-duality transformation further equates these to the E8xE8 heterotic and type IIA theories, respectively. A clear axiomatic pathway can be seen to link all these theories. The table even suggests direct transforms exist between the 3 adjacent pairs of the type I and type II theories, e.g. the E8xE8 heterotic can be directly transformed to the type IIA theory without having to apply the 5 transforms that pass through all the other theories - though equalities such as this would require additional conceptual alignment. There exists one other duality that we have not yet mentioned - u-duality. This duality relates the s-duality to the t-duality. We can interpret this duality as one that recognises that quantum numbers under different theories with different concepts are in fact the same. For example, the dilaton is considered ‘parallel’ to the radion.
So, even though extended theoretical development of the tachyon showed it to 'condense' - indicating its matter potential, and further, providing a basis for the Higgs mechanism which is needed in the standard model to describe the formation of matter from pure energy in the early universe - the bosonic theory was considered deeply flawed by its presence and the lack of an identifiable fermion. The two types of string theory that emerged after the bosonic theory included different concepts for the fermion. The type I included the fermion as a closed string with the boson represented by an open string, whereas the type II theories introduced a 'mass-less' fermion - a concept inconsistent with standard theory yet perfectly describing the tachyon. The heterotic string theories are hybridised bosonic/fermionic theories that use only closed strings. When a string's vibration moved in one direction it was considered to have a bosonic field, when it moved in the opposite direction it was considered to have a fermionic field. Left and right states exist in all the superstring theories - it is the basis of their symmetry - and many physicists remain convinced that these symmetry considerations will unveil the true nature of space, to the extent that a further theory - M-theory - was developed.
M-theory is at the forefront of string theory development and is proposed as an all-encompassing theory that includes the 5 string theories as limiting cases. It is closely related to the E8xE8 heterotic and the type IIA theories. The theory is as yet incomplete and not fully understood, or developed, but physicists are of the belief that this next step in string theory development will be the last. This belief is predicated on symmetry considerations that predict a whole host of new 'supersymmetric' partners of every known particle. In effect, the supersymmetry theories maintain that for every known fermion there is a boson 'superpartner' and likewise for every boson there is a fermion superpartner. This is clearly an extension of the concept that the same particle can be fermionic in one direction and bosonic in the other. None of these superpartner particles have ever been found in particle experiments.

Who are some of the big hearted citizens of India? | Kamaljeetsingh Brar, a retired Army captain and the CEO of the company has set an example by setting up a company with over 270 disabled people employed. And according to him his company is doing exceptionally well because of their efforts and hard work. Many corporate houses assuage the demands made by their corporate social responsibility (CSR) by employing a few people with disabilities. The company, Designmate, has not only won a number of national and international awards but has also earned laurels for its unique approach to empowering disabled people.
Due to its exemplary work, the company was also featured in the television show Satyamev Jayate. Gajjar said that the company will get the Best Employer for Physically Challenged award on Tuesday in New Delhi. Brar said that the company sees huge potential in people with disabilities. "We do not differentiate in any way between our employees but we see a huge confidence boost in differently-abled people when they start earning and run their homes," he said. "I think the corporate sector should give this segment a chance to prove itself."

What are some unique tips and tricks for improving productivity? | Hi there! Thanks for this question! Actually, Improving productivity can be a challenging task, but there are several unique tips and tricks you can try to enhance your efficiency and effectiveness. Here are some suggestions:
1. Implement the Two-Minute Rule: If a task takes less than two minutes to complete, do it immediately instead of postponing it. This helps prevent small tasks from piling up and becoming a burden.
2. Practice the Pomodoro Technique: Break your work into 25-minute intervals (pomodoros) with short breaks in between. After completing four pomodoros, take a longer break. This method helps maintain focus and prevents burnout.
3. Use the Eisenhower Matrix: Prioritize tasks using this matrix, which classifies them into four categories: Urgent and Important, Important but Not Urgent, Urgent but Not Important, and Not Urgent or Important. Focus on tasks that fall into the first category.
4. Leverage the Power of Habit Stacking: Attach a new habit you want to form to an existing habit. For example, if you want to read more, make it a habit to read a few pages after brushing your teeth every night.
5. Try Time Blocking: Schedule specific blocks of time for different activities or tasks throughout your day. This helps create a structured routine and minimizes distractions.
6. Optimize Your Environment: Create a workspace that is clean, organized, and free from distractions. Minimize clutter and personalize your space to make it conducive to productivity.
7. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation: Take short breaks during the day to engage in mindfulness exercises or meditation. This can help clear your mind, reduce stress, and improve focus.
8. Use Productivity Apps and Tools: Explore various productivity apps and tools available for task management, note-taking, time tracking, and project collaboration. Find the ones that work best for your workflow and incorporate them into your routine.
9. Focus on Single-Tasking: Multitasking can often lead to decreased productivity and increased errors. Instead, concentrate on one task at a time, giving it your full attention before moving on to the next.
10. Incorporate Regular Exercise and Breaks: Physical activity and regular breaks throughout the day can boost your energy levels and overall productivity. Take short walks, stretch, or engage in quick exercises to refresh your mind and body.
Remember that different techniques work for different people, so it's essential to experiment and find the strategies that resonate with you. Best of luck!

Does the experiment that showed thoughts affecting water molecules prove that the law of attraction exists? | No. The experiment proved something else. Namely: Boooooy, howdy are people gullible. Whoooweee! I’m talking like industrial-strength gullible. You might think a chemtrail conspiracy nutter is gullible, but that’s peanuts compared to the gullibility of the folks who actually believe this so-called “study” that showed thought affecting water molecules.
Here’s a tip: the guy who did this “study” made big bucks selling vials of water “energized” with “positive thoughts.” $$$cha-CHING!$$$

What are some constraints on innovation that are preventing us from becoming the science fiction world so many movies predicted? | Nothing.
Absolutely nothing is preventing us from becoming the science fiction world that many movies (and books!) predicted.
However.
There are many things preventing us from realizing that we are currently living inside a science fiction world:
Historical perspective and the advancement of science
When most people think about scientific evolution, they usually picture a neat technological tree a la Civilization videogame like this:
Certainly, we humans needed to invent the wheel before landing rockets in the Moon. From our historical vantage point of view, it all seems logical, neat and tidy.
The problem is, that people in the past, and scientists in our present doesn’t have a neat technological tree to guide them towards future discoveries and their prequisites. Science progression is messy and prone to trial and error. We go blind into the future. We often stumble into several unexpected roadblocks that we could not foresee before, like Einstein’s relativity and his pesky speed limits that prevent us from reaching faster than light travel.
That makes some technologies advance way slower than we thought (space travel comes to mind), while some of them advance way faster than we could ever imagine (like computers). Consequently, science advancement tends to go way slower than what many techno-optimists would like. That mismatch between expectations and results are a bit of a party pooper, but there are more factors in play here.
Lack of historical perspective and the triumph of the anti-progress narrative
Our current social undercurrent is dominated by post modernism, and one of its cornerstones is the rejection of the values of enlightment, chiefly, the notion of human progress. Consequently, every single scientific advancement needs to be minimized and ignored (or better: demonized), or else our precious post modern narrative of “everything is relative, there is nothing better nor worse”, could be jeopardized.
Hence the rise of anti-scientific movements like the anti-vaxxers or the flat earthers. We really need to believe that mankind have not progressed, and that our magnificent scientific advancements are for naught, and that everything is worse than ever, that technology and industrial society is leading us to our destruction, hence why a lot of anti progress prophets of doom selectively embrace the science behind climate change.
The problem is that this narrative is patently false, and based in the nihilistic, minds of the people that expouses it, than in any trace of external reality.
Because we are not living on a sci fi world. We have in many regards, surpassed what science fiction promised.

We can do this!
However, the prophets of doom have a great ally thanks to:
Lack of social advancement
The advancement of technology doesn’t mean that its gains are evenly distributed among society. You can have a highly technological society with crappy ethics and opressive social structures. Which is the problem here. Science might cure cancer someday, but it sure won’t cure assholes nor corrupt leaders.
Scientific advances can be misused. And progress not only applies to science, but to societies as well. And let be honest with ourselves: Our societies are not more fair nor enlightened than decades ago, and the western democracies haven’t had an exactly stellar record at improving our countries in the latest century. And yet, I would take our world of imperfect democracies and cronist politicians over the murderous madness of war-torn early XXth century, thank you very much.
So here we are.
We are living in the future.
It’s not as perfect as our utopians imagined. We are no Culture, no Star Trek federation, no Asimov foundation.
But it is not as distopian as Blade runner nor Mad Max either.
And it is certainly not the future that we expected.
But isn’t this part of its charm?
Because damn, I cannot wait to know what has mankind in store for the next centuries.
Surprise me, fellow humans.
Ad astra!

Could Dormammu defeat Ultron from What if? | Possibly.
The problem is that the What If? Ultron is already violating rules established in other, more canonical MCU shows. The Infinity Gems Ultron is using should not function outside of their own native Universe. This was well established in the Loki series. They certainly should not function in a space such as that of The Watcher, who is outside of the Multiverse.
Next, we might point out that it was only through knowledge of the secrets of the Eye of Agamotto that Dr. Strange was able to survive Dormomu's attacks and ultimately defeat him. Ultron is not so well versed and depended on Thanos just handing him all of the stones.
Speaking of the stones, the What If? story is also ignoring that the stones are treacherous in their own right. The space stone sent the Red Skull to Vormir and the assembled stones injured anyone who used the gauntlet to “make a wish". So, really, the stones aught to have been taking some kind of toll on Ultron.
Granted, this is all for a specifically non-canon cartoon, so it's fine that the What If ? Series plays around.
So, I do believe that according to MCU rules, Dormomu in his Dark Dimension should be more powerful than Ultron.

What is the best way to get your private pilots license? | If you are determined to earn your PPL by the cheapest way, please prepay your funeral expenses. Most pilots would understand not wanting to waste money but few would support finding the cheapest way. Flying is like a serpent that can raise up its head and strike any any time. According to Murphy’s Law, using the cheapest PPL program is a magnet for trouble.

Why whenever I get in the shower my girlfriend want to join? | She wants to take a close look and play with your penis besides when you are in bed with her.

How often do popular Quora users go anonymous? | How could anyone outside of Quora tell? I go anonymous from time to time when approached with a subject I fear might hurt my reputation or put me in a compromising spot, but usually, I’m pretty honest and upfront about what I think. I would say I do it twice a year at most, more likely once a year.
