Islam spread 500-1000 years later. But you are right, Mohamed 'artificially designed' his religion with the explicit goal to convert, conquer or destroy as many pagan tribes around his home regions as possible.
I guess no one knows. Does not change the fact that the parent (and the wiki article about the first law of thermodynamics) is wrong. Inside of a closed system you still can freely convert energy into mass and vice versa.
Could be possible. Considering how connected modern cars are already towards their manufacturers servers. There where some simple lock hacks a few days/weeks ago on the internet, probably on/. even.
First of all: there are no such laws. You are perhaps mixing this up with the law of conversation of energy. Energy equals mass, both can be converted freely into each other.
Then again: who knows what laws existed before the big bang? Our laws of physics describe how the universe works right now, we can not even describe the first 'insert scaling' seconds of the universe after the big bang with our physical laws.
From our point of view every pair of virtual particles, one anti matter one posi matter could be a big bang and from the inside view could be a whole universe lasting for billions of years.
This universe amoung the multitude of multiverses is just a single instance in a single dream amoung the gazillions of parallel dreams in the mind of Brahma: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
And theres the true test - lets see one navigate itself around the l'arc de triomphe roundabout in Paris. Happens several hundred times a day. (*facepalm*) All majour automobile vendors (BMW, Toyota, Audi, Mercedes) have self driving cars on test runs all over Europe since a decade.
You don't need to be that complicated. Efficiency of an ICE: < 20% (not counting further losses in the drive track) Efficiency of a coal power plant: > 40% (not counting grid transmission losses, battery and electric engine have basically zero losses)
we'd be better off using that land for solar panels to.... Even better is using that land to grow food Why should Thailand - or the US for that matter - grow more food?
When food competes with energy then you'll have people needing to decide if they will have to cut down their apple tree for firewood and risk starvation in the summer, or keep the tree and risk freezing to death in the coming winter. Thailand has no summer or winter and 3 harvests per year, at least for rice.
Go ahead and try, but I think we'll need a backup plan. What about a plan at first hand? And then a back up plan?
Any biomass fuel is terrible at converting sunlight into energy we can use. In comparison to what?
China is building exactly one Thorium research reactor. There is no single working Thorium reactor on the world.
3 mistakes in one sentence: Not much nuclear waste Same as other reactors. - Short half-life - Which is not exactly a benefit as it means it is highly radioactive in the beginning (and I doubt you are right anyway:D ). Can be shut down instantly. No, it can't be shut down at all. The whole point about Thorium reactors is that they are running a supposedly safe reaction without interference. There are tricks to shut them down, but they are not instantly, and afterwards you need a _few years_ to start them again. Because you have to remove the old fuel, close the reaction chamber again and deposit new fuel.
As you probably see: there are no accurate up to date numbers for every year. It helps to click on the two arrows in the "Electricity exports" column.
Europe runs on nuclear power because of what France exports. No it does not. France has enough power for its own country and exports a small fraction. The rest of Europe together consumes more than 5 times the power France is _producing_ not even talking about exporting (probably 100x what France is exporting).
There is no "Italy needs to get over their fear of nuclear power real quick", as there is no Italy. There is the italian population, and they decided not to invest into nuclear power around the early 1990s, for 100ds of reasons: mostly cost.
Germany and Italy already have some of the highest electricity rates in the world No it has not. I already linked you real world exampled of electric power in Germany often enough. And then again: I already told you often enough that the price per kWh is misleading. As germans don't need much power. But the infrastructure costs are the exact same, more or less unrelated to the amount of power you transport (simplified, before you start another stupid argument here) 2/3rd of of a typical german house holds electricity cost is taxes, infrastructure, billing and earnings of the power company. So even if you would cut the "electricity price" to 10% of its actual price, the price per kWh would only drop towards ~73% of the actual price.
Germany isn't the poster child, It is. And that is why everyone is basically following our lead in energy politics and energy production. Even France!
Your stupid problem is that you don't grasp that here are not countries competing but power companies. And your stupid problem extends to not grasping: there is no Germany and France and Italy... there is only Europe or more precisely https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
However you were right about the amount of power exported. France exports a bit more than Germany, however versus Germany France is a net importer. We sell more to them..... oops our power companies sell more to French customers (manly the one and only power company there) than we buy from them.
Yes, and all those diets emphasize on proteins, not on fat.
If you would replace the typical carb intake a person with a "average diet" has with fat, you probably would not live long. And it would be super impractical. Suppose one eats about 300g carbs per day. Perhaps even 500g, you hardly will replace that with fat. (Carbs and fat have basically the same weight per amount of calories)
Mediterranean is usually a 1/3rd of each diet. They eat lots of carbs. But also lots of vegetables and low fat, just enough olive oil and cheese to make it tasty:D However it contains lots of fish. And the whole eating culture is completely different, than US e.g. No idiotic snacks during "work time" because you can not "survive" the afternoon without snacks...

Islamic is the stamp westerners give it.
Arabs or Persians would simply call it: arabic art and persian art.

The subject says it. Perhaps those should get citizenship first? Or proper treatment and rights?
They all dropped into black holes :D
That is not the first law. It is a sidenote, added by the author of the relevant wikipedia article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The first law is simply: The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant
First of all: there are no such laws. You are perhaps mixing this up with the law of conversation of energy.
Energy equals mass, both can be converted freely into each other.
Then again: who knows what laws existed before the big bang? Our laws of physics describe how the universe works right now, we can not even describe the first 'insert scaling' seconds of the universe after the big bang with our physical laws.

Obviously a EV is twice as efficient than an ICV.

Any biomass fuel is terrible at converting sunlight into energy we can use.
In comparison to what?
And how much CH4 do you emit into the atmosphere due to fracking?
Electric engines are above 99% efficient and batteries, too. :D
However I concur with your post
I have read about that F1 engine, it would be theoretically be limited to something around 42% ... astonishing that they beat that.
It is also a fact that as older you get, as harder it will be to drive and to react in a timely manner.
Only if they drive rarely.
The best drivers I have met where all around 70 years old, more or less driving daily. Usually never having an accident over 50 years or more.
They don't have to prove anything to anyone, they just pay attention and drive safely.
And after the government is elected, or the parliament, it does what it wants and not what it promised before.

At least you spell "honour" correctly :D ... ;D
Strangely it is red underlined while I type here
Electricity rates are completely irrelevant for a typical european citizen.
An italian probably drinks 3 espresso per day, that is 90 per month, that is significantly more costs than his electricity bill.

So your whole chain of arguing was wrong.
BTW: the french more or less state owned power company that runs 70% of its power production with nuclear plan (wich is wrong, it is meanwhile around 60%, because they introduce wind and solar just like Germany! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ãlectricité_de_France) is state owned. The french state, aka the tax payer is covering all losses of the company. And only every few years they pay dividend to the French state.
Well, a part of the fat will "melt" and be in the pan, the rest remains and becomes crisp.
But your talk about "cheap bacon" scared me ... perhaps you have really strange fat or strange beacon :D
Yes,

The problem for you is that you are in "Enterprise Java". That's pretty much a field where any tool (cheap programmer) can do the job.
If you think that, then I hope you are not working in that field.
Or come to Europe.
We hire embedded developers all over the place.
And unlike countries that have no STEM companies anymore, we value seniority aka experience over youth.
What good is a 25 year old C++ programmer coming fresh from the university ...
