i mean, can an asteroid impact at such a shallow angle that it remains completely intact, simply skidding across the surface instead of impacting and vaporizing itsself?

4,500yrs ago, Thuban was the closest star located near Earth's geographic north pole, and was therefore The North Star.. now, it is Polaris. how long will Polaris remain as The North Star?

let me start with the word police.. the word police can be used by itsself to create a gramatically correct sentence in English. it takes 8 of them. that is alot of police... but it is all the same word...... what (possibly an adjective..?) has the most versions or ways to say something as linguistic synonyms? there is a hefty load of synonyms to kill but you cant kill a slaughter a murder....., and big/large/huge etc has a boat load as well but again, it's nonsense as a sentence. which idea of linguistics has the most synonyms that can be strung together or applied if inserted into the right order

silent letters re letters that are not pronounced. like knife what is the name for letters that are pronounced yet are not there, like the H sound in Sean?

it looks like a way to make insecure women flattered in their mid-life crisis, giving ugly out of shape women hope because they have yet to 'reach their prime', lets get real for a second, the older we get, the more frail and haggared we get. simple fact, it is the ravages of time. get over it..... but that being said, what is the reason for people saying a woman's prime is in her later years while a man;'s prime is in his earlier yeadrs, especially if women mature faster than men? that notion simply does not make any true logical sense, a woman at the age of 45 is technically biologically speaking, older and more worn out than a man of the exact same age. she matured faster, therefore she startes tio degrade faster. simple logic........ ever notice how little old ladies need help but old grandpas need to learn to slow down? so what really is the reason for a woman's 'prime' to be in her mid-later life, as opposed to the early prime of men? 

there are several reasons why the advancement of swords progressed to steel then stayed there. as a sword steel is the superior choice over all. it is rigid flexible holds an edge, can take an edge, its plasticity its strength etc.... but our current knowledge and advancements in both physics and chemistry make the iron age look like childs play... is there an alloy that is superior to steel for swords, if money and resource availability were not a factor? 

what is the most powerful or intense use of the force done by a Jedi in Star Wars canon before Disney got a hold of it and killed it? 

empty spaces weigh less than spaces that are not empty, so a space full of helium still has weight, even though balloons float.... how much 'lighter' would the same volume of space be if it was a vacuum? lets get over how balloons and several other things work for a second, this is a theoretical example.... if a "fully inflated" balloon was filled a vacuum, how much lighter would it be than if it was filled with helium?  helium can lift roughly 60 lbs per 1,000 cubic feet and hydrogen can lift about 68 lbs per 1,000 cubic feet. how much can a vacuum lift?

there are capital crimes that are punishable by death, but lets face it, 60%+ are not sentenced to death, rather life without parole..... but are there any crimes whos ONLY PUNISHMENT is death? like no matter what, if you are found guilty, the penalty is death no questions or exceptions?

assuming there is minimal background noise, so idealy skydiving in the middle of NOWHERE jumping from hot air balloon

at atmospheric pressures, using something like say... a weather balloon.. how much helium would it take to lift a human? i bet there would be an altitude cap with just barely more than the sufficient ammount to lift them enough to be 'neutrally bouyant' so they can be lifted in ideal conditions, as opposed to an ammount that will reliably lift someone to almost 23 miles up without overdoing it ( up to  almost where helium weather balloons expand too much and pop)  if possible, please provide both measurements also, does the shape of the vessil holding the helium make a difference?

ex; Joseph and Jose are the same in English/Spanish, however the Japanese city 'Hamamatsu' is still a Japanese word only in English spelling (the English translation for 'hamamatsu' is 'Beach front village' but that just doesnt work out, so Hamamatsu it is! ... i presume that is partially why, but what is the reason for this?  why do some proper nouns translate but others do not?

the fluid that is central to orientation and balance and whatnot.. how viscous is it?

by proof, i mean what scientific evidence is there to support flat earth theory? what can ONLY be proof of a flat earth? what evidence is there that CANT also be explained by spherical earth theory? there are laws of physics that defy the very notion of a flat earth, but what is there that defies the existence of a spherical earth?

there are many species of hominid, but only one is still extant. anatomically modern humans, homo sapien. how long ago did the last other hominid go extinct, and what was it? 

some apex predators are out of others league like eagles or are co-apex like wolverine and mountain lion, and some are known to kill other apex predators out of competition or even spite like lion and hyena. what is the most apex predator in the world on land, that is truly uncontested by anything but man?
