Yes and no.
In terms of the mathematical models the relativity is very much real and not just illusionary. The change from a geocentric to a heliocentric picture is just a coordinate...

I'd even say that the black holes do not distort the light - they distort the space(time) in which the light is propagating. The light still takes the straightest line possible in the curved geometry...

Many-Body-Problems are indeed very hard to calculate and it gets even worse when considering general relativity, where we have been able to obtain analytical solutions of Einstein's equations only...

I always prefer the simple statement that in the absence or neglibility of other gravitational influences the movement of two given masses (with nonzero angular momentum relative to each other*) is...

It has been rescheduled to the Ewiggestrigenweg in Schlechtwitzhausen.

Since nobody knows how much a pound actually is (17.4 inch/gallon² maybe?) that is no problem.

Here are some Karyatides

I don't think there can be non-hierarchical discourse in the sense of Habermas between parents and children.

Is the consent the punctum saliens here, though? We are usually fine with parents taking decisions about medical (and other) procedures on behalf of their underage children, and not all of them based...

Indeed, the so-called Hotel-Dieu, a charitable hospital for the poor founded as early as 1443.

I always liked the cat goddess.

Ooh, it's the museum of Bubastis. So my impression of modernised egyptian architecture wasn't wrong.

Some modern buildings have these stair/seat elements near the entrance to integrate generic sitting areas with the architecture. I considered a theatre but discarded it: The steps are too flat and...

I can only speculate either. Maybe we can pool observations to beat the riddle:

There are palm trees in the background and other flora and earth-colours I would associate with north-african or...

It's the faggio di San Francesco in Rivodutri.

EDIT: :ninja:'d by the Dutch Bastet (or Sakhmet?)

Indeed it is, the "Ship of the Fens". That was quick. You turn :)

Unsettling, but nevertheless interesting.

It's the Ulmener Maar.

The volcanoes don't spit lava anymore, but the region is still seismically active. Tiny earthquakes below the threshold of human perception are very common in the Eifel and...

I'll just blatantly ignore the tongue-in-cheeky-ness of this entire thread any annoy everyone with serious arguments:
You're trying to make a point via the consistency with older traditions, which...

The parallels are indeed strong, but I think one important difference would be that after the industrial revolution human workers were still needed to convert money into agency, even if at less...

Is it one of those cinder cone type volcanoes in America?

Might be a specific one, though.

One might well disagree that private, individual property is "human nature", but that is not necessarily the point here. You might try to sell off the common green by lot, but you cannot do so with...

I heard there's only degrees of guilt anyhow.

Many money, many Schnitzel.

If the Covid legislation is too contentious a point, then let us use another one, as I do not want to get into a discussion about the former in this context. By indirect interaction I do not mean...

That's a fair point where direct, individual interaction is concerned. But what about intermediate interaction? The current pandemic provides an excellent example: Even if someone behaves...

Individual autonomy is not boundless and finds its limitations in the rights of others. The autonomies of individuals must be balanced against each other and those overstepping their bounds are kept...

I don't think coercion works as a criterion. Societies also use coercion to enforce laws that serve the public good, so it would be hard to label all that as villainous.

I had indicated that I wanted to enter the competition with the post from the relativity thread, not the other ones.

(Almost entirely) correct! It is Heimaey, though the volcano is Helgafell. The much younger (born 1973) Eldfell is less conic and to the left of Helgfall from this perspective.

Here we go. Not a castle, for a change:

That's why I didn't recognise it. Good one for tearing that abomination down.
