  1. Very happy to see that Michael Lowrey is advocating review of all available original source documents to develop a historical narrative, rather than relying on second hand sources (e.g., books published after the events). Sadly, in many "western" academic history circles this is considered bad form, particularly contradicting an earlier historian and/or accepted views of history, the facts be damned.

  4.  @TBone-bz9mp  - One mol of floaty logs could defeat the USS Nimitz. Of course there is the slight problem that if each floaty log was made from 30-kg of wood and had a plan area of 10 square meters, one mol of them would have a mass three times that of the earth, and they would have to be stacked 16.7 billion high to fit on the Earth's oceans.
