While a great mystery, the man in the Iron mask was more than likely a close relative to the King. There is no way he would have left anyone else with such a terrible secret as this man must have held, alive.

I really wonder why no movie has yet been made of this man.

Yeah. Just had a look at it with the terrain feature of google maps. It is basically one long string of volcanoes and caldera lakes. Yet some 270 million people live there. Brave people...

The hard end of the stick, as they say...

The point is that Flat Earthers are not interested in Truth. They hold that belief like a pacifier, so debating with them is like trying to make a toddler sleep without one. They get really scared and look for all sort of excuses to try and get their pacifier back. I was never more proud of my sons then when we convinced them that they could sleep without their pacifier, and they said goodbye to it and threw it in the bin themselves. Breaks your heart. Flat-earthers need to go through a similar process.

@typingcat It may also be that I was not expecting him to speak french.

I think it is a great habit of investigating ideas independently, but it is not for the weak willed. You need a proper understanding of the rules of physics and logic to not get caught by the fallacies. Like that mathematical proof that 1 = 2 that I once looked into. It turned out that in the midst of lots of algebra, there was a division of zero by zero. From mathematical theory, I knew that zero divided by zero can equal (approach) any number, so that was the core of the fallacy. But only through a proper understanding of the rules of algebra, I was able to spot it.

The quickest way of disproving the flat earth theory is to look at the energy picture. A flat earth breaks the law of conservation of energy in many, many ways. And no, you can't explain that all away using "dark energy", because that would have work in different ways in different situations. Also, if there were dark energy that is so powerful, why has no-one succeeded in using it to solve our energy needs? If the flat-earthers were right, they would all be rich.

They will say the same when looking back at the twenties, fifty years from now. Every now and then, a true gem comes through the vetting process.

LOL, but I thought "Compensation Tower" funnier ;-)

@RalphEllis Go on, tell me you didn't smile when Thoughty2 cracked that joke with that dead-pan face of his.

No, all armies of the day had artillery. But how he used it, that made the difference.

You talking about Trump? Well, that is the biggest nonsense I have heard in weeks. There are piles and piles of evidence against Trump. The decision to prosecute him was not political, but has been made by Grand Juries of his peers, each of which has seen enough evidence to determine that most likely a crime has been committed. In fact, any other person long ago have been put in jail. Trump is being treated with the greatest deference I have ever seen.

We'd deserve to, if Dump gets re-elected ;-)

@foxracerdrew My dad lived there in his teens, he loved it there.

@autohmae Hawaii is actually the result of a hot plume of magma, not tectonics, just like Iceland and the Yellowstone caldera. But the chain of volcanoes in the west of the Americas is tectonic like in Indonesia, and the volcanoes in Italy as well.

Just so that everyone understands, Christianity is NOT against science. Real science (natural or mathematical science) is a form of Truth, and our Lord is also called Truth. So scientific research is a form of seeking God. Many great scientists were motivated by strong Christian beliefs. Any form of Christianity that denies science is a cult. Especially seeing what is happening in the USA, I am getting fed up with so-called Christians that deny science with regards to Covid, and that rather believe lying authoritarian mobsters than all the judges in the land. It is time that we start to have some respect again for people who dedicate their lives to the search for Truth, in whatever form. Note that I am not talking about the weak "sciences" like psychology, philosophy, economics etc. These contribute many things of value, but also much nonsense that is impossible to either prove or disprove, becoming more of a cult themselves if they are not careful. Any real seeker of truth will welcome an honest debate.

Bathos is so bad. I immediately ensures the audience that the movie does not take itself nor the audience serious. Causes an immediate audience disconnect.

Exactly. And not just the studios. Everybody involved in making this * thinks the same.

@jonatan0_0 Yeah. I didn't recognize 'bonjour' at all, I caught on that he was trying to speak french when he said bien.

Please, not Ridley Scot. He'd make a mess of it.

@schwingedeshaehers If the family knew something, they would also have been in prison / the grave. The grave will keep its silence for ever... People who believe that they have been appointed by God to rule regardless of what they do, don't usually care much for the lives of others. (BTW, that is why the MAGA movement is so scary & evil)

One enormous contribution Napoleon made to the world was the introduction of the SI: the units we all measure in (kilogram, second, meter, ampere, candela, mol and Kelvin). Because he imposed that system on all the nations he conquered, a good part of Europe started using it, and from there it took off. (for Americans disagreeing: the Fahrenheit and the inch are both derived from SI units)

People discussing travel through wormholes don't mention that the body would likely be subjected to extreme (and I mean EXTREME) forces that would shred said body to loose atoms if not plasma.

Just saw two video's that propose that Krakatoa was responsible for hardship in the east-roman empire, the saxon invasion and other mass migrations, and an outbreak of the plague in the mid-sixth century. That one would have been bigger than the 19th century outbreak. Krakatoa is growing again, preparing for another large explosion.
