The same as it applies to any other transverse gravity wave on a water surface. The side of the glass moves inward and outward, alternately displacing the edge of the water surface up and down, and then gravity makes the raised surface fall back, or the depressed surface rise back (due to the water displaced upward elsewhere), creating a wave. This behaviour is described in the link I provided. No elastic property of the medium itself is involved, any more than it is in waves on the sea.

They're consistent within a belief-system. Religion doesn't usually burden itself with intellectual rigour. The original people who told the stories were not preoccupied with mechanism or logic: they were telling stories from their collective history, aspiration, hopes, fears, dreams and those spooky personal experiences we all have that we can't explain and are often reluctant to discuss. Brains are complex electro-chemical machines, yes, but also quite unlovely organs, about which the ancients were less canny and curious than we are - they tended to prefer heart and liver. I don't know much about those children's memories; have no explanation to hand. Maybe some kinds of recycling does take place. I have met a few adults with recurring, vivid dreams of events in a life quite different from their own that are familiar and make sense in the dream world, but not in their waking life. I guess we just have to accept not knowing everything? I don't subscribe to any spiritual doctrine, and do reject all organized dogma, but I can't lock every door and window on the paranormal.

Yes, it is not as it appears. It's clear what Biden is doing, although the Russians are trying to make it look like hysteria on NATO's part, by giving a very public running commentary based on satellite information. Satellite surveillance is really coming of age. It's more like watching a chess game when we can see the hardware move about. I imagine both sides survellance resolution is much better than we the public can see.

@SuperSlim- The actual water molecules are constantly moving and do not returned to where they were. Irrespective of examples of "elasticity" in fluids (interesting, thanks studiot) water returning to the shape of a container after being disturbed - what is described in the original example - is not demonstrating elasticity.

In India, you are either rich or poor, either ugly or beautiful, either good or evil. In USA, you can be all the above. In India, there is segregation between castes/classes. For the very reason that Patel is poor and Rajiv is rich, Patel and Rajiv simply cannot mix. They cannot be allowed in the same playpen. If they are, then Poor Patel will steal from Rich Rajiv. In USA, both Tom and Harry are equally well off. Neither is extravagantly rich, nor poor. But they can mix. They can be friends. Rich Rajiv migrates to USA, and is forced to be friends with middle class Harry. He doesnt like it. Every instinct in Rich Rajiv bays 'no!' Rich Richard, the American, dislikes Rich Rajiv the Indian, for the very reason that he thinks in terms of caste and not equality. Rich Richard: Hey, Rajiv! Why must you be the way you are? Why cant you be accepting of people? Rajiv: Because in India, I was brought up to believe that anybody outside my specific status, are evil! Rich Richard: Well then, I cannot accept you as human! Begone! The above dialogue gave way to racial slurs. the 7/11 worker, the cab driver. Rich Rajiv got madder and madder. In extreme cases, Rich Rajiv got so despondent that he formed ties with Villanous Wakeem, the Afghan. And then came 9/11. Speculation, no doubt but....the logic is undeniable. Indian immigrants in USA are definitely a stumbling block because of caste system vs melting pot.
