It's always the same playbook, ain't it.

What Moldova does or does not do is none of russia's business.

Thank you very much!

That would be 388000/2570 = 150,97 Saarland

Hahahha. Iran wouldn’t be the first religious state, the first terrorist state, or the first religious-terrorist state, to develop and maintain nuclear weapons.

But please, carry on with the bigoted hypocrisy

The US and Israel should not be dictating who gets to have the weapons that stop people from invading it. Or antagonizing it further. The actions already by the US cut off the country to the point where they lost 10's of thousands of people from Covid due to lack of proper medical protection. I'm sorry, but Isreal doesn't get to decide which country no matter their government can have nuclear weapons or not. They see what everyone else sees, nuclear weapons are literally the only way that stops a full blow invasion of their country. The Israeli government seriously needs to cool the hell down. They've been repeatedly bombing countries around them, not to mention treating Palestinians as second-class citizens and beating the living crap out of them.

Seems like Multiples of Saarland would be a more appropriate Unit here.

They want to make the area 388000 km²

a standard sized Fußballfelder is 105m * 68m = 0,00714km²

388000km² /0,00741km² = 54.341.736,69 Fußballfelder groß

Then*

You know, I've been watching a lot of videos on cosmology and how we understand our universe at this time.

First off, I was kind of surprised by just how little we actually know about anything. I find it incredible how earth's greatest minds managed to draw so much information about the universe using such a small amount of data. And even Einstein, 100 years later, is still being proven right!

Now, the general consensus is that time started at the big bang. And even if we were to try and think about "what came before" it's impossible to really know because all information prior to the big bang is gone forever. So it seems pointless to even look that far back.

But what eats at me is the fact that I just can't see time "Starting" at the big bang. The universe seems infinite, and so does time. To think of time having a start and end doesn't make sense to me, just like how trying to define the "edge" of the universe also doesn't make sense. (This is of course assuming we are in an infinite universe, which might not be the case - see closed universe theories and a super interesting theory to read about is whether our universe is actually inside a black hole, which is more plausible than one would think!)

Anyway, I think time didn't start at the big bang. I think something must have existed before. But what existed before? Well, the simplest thought would be that whatever existed before the big bang must have been capable of producing the conditions for the big bang. Simple enough right? Makes sense?

So then I look at our universe. The evidence is mounting and mounting that our universe is expanding. I don't think anyone disagrees with this now. It's basically proven. Now the implications this has on the ultimate fate of our universe is quite... Terrifying. If the universe is constantly expanding, and doing so at an accelerating rate, then eventually all that ever was will "break down" into their most fundamental particles and spread out across the universe so much that nothing will ever interact again. And then time will go on... Presumably infinitely and nothing ever happen ever again. That's fucking depressing. But it also kinda doesn't make sense to me and I will explain why.

If the ultimate fate of our universe is that nothing ever happens again, then why didn't this happen prior to the big bang? Whatever existed before, if it follows the same laws of physics, should be subject to the same natural and cosmological laws. But whatever happened before the big bang resulted in conditions that caused the big bang, so entropy was not the ultimate fate of whatever existed before.

So, assuming the laws of physics are indeed consistent pre-big bang and post-big bang, then we can take a pretty big guess that, if entropy was not the ultimate fate of what existed before, maybe entropy is not the ultimate fate of our universe either. But how is this possible when the evidence is mounting that we have an expanding universe?

The answer lies in Dark Energy. Dark energy is theorised to be causing the universe' expansion. And this is sort of where my understanding comes to an end. (That's if I am even making sense thus far XD)

What I found super interesting is a recent study came out suggesting that Black Holes are the source of dark energy. This needs a lot of review, we can't say this is solid, yet. But, for the sake of my comment let's run with it.

If Black Holes are the source of dark energy then entropy is FAR less likely to be the ultimate fate of our universe. Why? Black Holes sort of evaporate over unimaginable timelines. Which means the expansion is not infinite. Which means the universe will eventually stop expanding. If this is the case, then the only force that will be left at the end of everything, will be gravity.

Now, hopefully you can see where this is going: If gravity is indeed the only force at the end of our universe, then particles will move towards each other when the expansion stops. Over an even more unimaginable timeline, we could see everything in the universe slowly clumping back together. And now we can draw a parallel, remember when I said what must have existed before the big bang must have allowed the conditions for the big bang? Well here we are. Once everything gets pulled back together with gravity, perhaps there will be another big bang and the universe starts again. This makes sense to me far more than entropy and this helps to explain "what came before", addressing the fact time did not start at the big bang.

This is a known theory, I'm not being original here. I just wanted to point out that we have a potential study that supports the idea of cyclical universe, and not a universe that will end in entropy for infinite time.

For me that makes existence a little less depressing. I think it makes the universe infinitely more beautiful knowing it's a crazy infinite cycle of chaos and order. Who knows what's going to happen in the next big bang?

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 75%. (I'm a bot)

> China has agreed to loan Pakistan $700m to help it weather its worst economic crisis in a generation, in a development that will intensify concern among western countries about cash-strapped Islamabad's debt burden to Beijing.

> China is wary of taking such a step because of the precedent it would set to its other debtors, says Andrew Small, a senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and author of a book on China and Pakistan.

> Small also noted China might be more willing to support Pakistan than other debtors, because it "Needs a strong, capable Pakistan, to continue to function as an effective counterbalance to India."It's important that they're not seen to let Pakistan down, because if they let Pakistan down in this situation, then the message to everyone else is that they can't be relied on.

As an Australian, I don't either. Generally we measure in metric, European Countries is a new unit for me as well. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Well that's good and hopefully he will lose.

Frankly Erdogan needs to lose or Turkey will stop being a democracy and fail in general.

Damn proud

6 months is plenty time to circumvent. I doubt this is anywhere related to being true.

There is no new deal for them on the horizon. In fact this proves the claim that the jcpoa was a scam to begin with and signed in bad faith.

In general, none. Yet this certain “state” is ruled by a fundamentalist international terrorist organisation IRGC. And has acted in bad faith on the international stage for over 4 decades, hence the opposition.
