Why hasn’t this been done already? First, it is way harder to do.Every imperfection introduces secondary effects. Second, the people that make those diamonds are not ashamed or hiding but believe on what they do. Leo Di Caprio for example i

No, we are not. The death rate goes down but the number of cancers increases. Cancer is extremely painful even if you survive. Cancer treatment should be like taking antibiotics, a week of pain and it is over. We should activate the natural

The problem number one is the total monopoly of YouTube in the Internet TV, so they can abuse without consequences. We need competition, but we don't have it because it is a natural monopoly: the more users YouTube has, and the bigger

I see that as a dystopian future. Google wants to model entire cities in real time, just like London with all the cameras everywhere, but for the profit of a private company and three letter agencies. It used to be that in a small village e

The reason is quite obvious if you know Spain's History. Given that France invaded Spain in 1807, the military made it necessary to have a different gauge from France. Not only that, the train by the coast was also forbidden in some pl

To be fair, that is not a very valid argument, given that for any given King/Queen, they will be millions on the other side wanting this given person to die. E.g when the Spanish Empire ruled the world, the British were not very happy
