Yes, but useful for books/2D printing. Altho that isn't so relevant anymore.

>If space can be bent then it is not nothing.
>Or am i missing something here?

I just read an intro to relativity, and the author claimed that empty space wasn't just nothing for the same reason that u state. I'm not so sure yet.

Criminal behavior is partly genetic. I.e., genes for poor self-control, low IQ, increases the chances of criminal behavior.

If it is done in the common way, then sterilization is easy to fix.

A more effective approach is radiating the balls. There is no fix for that. However, this leads to cancer. Altho it isn't quite as dramatic as castration.

In general, this way (deterrence) of combating crime does not work very well.

>just cause and effect, there's no genius, brain is nothing but muscles.

Hoping this is a metafor. There are no muscles in the brain, but the saying "use it or lose it" seems to apply to the brain as well, as if it was a muscle.

>You claimed that the standard of beauty is how close a face comes to some average of human faces and I contend no such average exists.

Perhaps no actual person is exactly average in facial attributes (depending on which precision is used). But that doesn't matter.

I didn't say anything about "the" standard of beauty.

Why don't u just read some studies if u want to know about this stuff? It's not that difficult to google it and find some, even that are not behind a pay-wall.

>The only standard it eye-balling if she's healthy enough for your offspring. For fine tuning the eye-balling part, consult your local physician. Most men find African women tribal hideous, yet they still get laid by their fellow tribesman and the procreation process continues.

Not a fair comparison, even if it is true (which i doubt, citation needed). U shud compare people that are equally healthy, well-fed, and without make-up etc.

Lots of research has been done on how mating works in humans. Maybe u shud just do some research?

A good intro to evolutionary psychology is David M Buss' Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind. One can find it on the net for free.

I didn't. I said something similar but did not use the equation sign in that way. I try to never use it like that.

U did not explain why the supposed fact that u mention is relevant. Will u do that now?

They didn't. They just copied the system used in UK at the time they left.

Since we can observe other galaxies from here within our galaxy, then no (unless there is some other factor i don't know about, i'm not a fysicist), that area wud not be completely black.

Maybe there is someone with an odd fetish who wud want that, but in general, humans are rather much in agreement about what makes a person fysically attractive, and attractive as a partner.

Ofc, this is to be expected. Other mammals are like that and humans are mammals.

>Also, even the average ideal face varies greatly from country to country.

No they don't, and there are plenty of humans universals. This includes various ways that humans rate other human's attractiveness, either fysical or as a mating partner.

No, it wud just cause some necessary relocation of cities that are placed in places that will become under sea level, or some clever construction work. It is not a problem humans cannot solve.

On the other hand, the increasingly strong weather fenomena will be a bit of a nuisance.

Rote learning helps alot. I know a woman from Singapore who was trained alot in rote learning and solving equation systems in the head. She can do that no problem. I can't and has never been trained to solve them in the head, but i can solve them on paper no problem. Our intelligence levels are similar, so it's not a matter of intelligence.

Besides averageness? As it turns out, the most average female faces are rated the most beautiful. The picture u posted is from such a study.

There are some details about this. To learn more, study evolutionary psychology.

No, they didn't. Look it up.
