If gravity is not a force, how is spaghettification a thing? If you are stationary when you're weightless, how can different stationary parts of your stationary body move at the different speeds required for spaghettification to take p

How does that work when flat earthers actually weave elaborate "theories" about the physics and mechanics leading everyone else to conclude that it is round? It's not like they say it's flat and stick their fingers in th

That's not an argument for Apple forcing everyone else out. You can still choose to just interface with Apple services, even if other app stores or payment services are available.

> Epic doesn't have to engage in it. We don't have to engage in it They do if they want to be on the mobile market, as evident by them being kicked off 98% of the mobile market when they decided to not engage in it.

Did Epic really not argue that it's a forced fee? If you don't pay the 30% you're effectively not allowed on the mobile market.

Would an antimatter black hole shrink when absorbing regular matter, or is the mass of the photons from the annihilation process the same as the mass of the annihilated particles? How would that work? Would annihilation even happen under su

This is tosh. If the idea is to defund the surplus, then the police will effectively maintain the exact same level of presence as already displayed. Basically, with your suggestion, nothing will change, other than police garages. That'
