How did we come from nowhere?
AFAIK, Any matter, like the quantum foam, which has components less than a quantum of energy has no effect on standard model particles, so energetically it's nothing. It's the lowest level of existence.

Looks like you need someone with an iPad. Just checked on my Android phone and the grey circle with a heart in it is there and I can choose to vote up and down. If you have an iPhone, have a look on that and if it's the same as the iPad, it's probably an Apple software issue.

Increase tall
The OP is nearly 6' 3" and I'm 5' 8"... PLEEEASE HELP ME!!! Where can I find some 7" booster shoes? Seriously, at the height the OP is, what proportion of women is he excluded from because he's "too short"? If I had the hots for a 2m woman and I had competition from a 2m man, I would still have a go because height may not be on her list of top priorities. The only way to find out is to try.

Looking for vaccine research…
Pope Francis said it well recently: "“I believe that ethically everyone should take the vaccine,” the Pope said in an interview with TV station Canale 5. “It is an ethical choice because you are gambling with your health, with your life, but you are also gambling with the lives of others.” Anti-vaxxers are about "me" and not "us".

Eternal universe (split from Universe expanding...)
One is based on consensus of many learned minds, with much math and observation, and the other is a WAG from yourself. You know the forum rules on posting in the proper science sections.

Universe expanding...
The 'centre' is wherever the observer is, and every other galaxy not gravitationally bound to their galaxy moves away. The apparent velocity they move away at increases with distance and causes an increasing redshift.

Quite a number of chaps seem to put women on an insurmountable pedestal. I wonder how much exposure to certain types of ads and programmes create this mindset.

I have uPVC double-glazed windows that has a sliding vent at the top. If I leave the vents closed for any length of time (weeks) mould starts forming in the corners of the windows. You need some kind of localised air movement in the immediate window areas to keep drying them. Looking at persistent mould control products, I found Concrobium, which might help and is probably available your side of the pond. https://www.concrobium.com/concrobium-products/faqs/#:~:text=(Sodium Carbonate and water alone,no bleach%2C ammonia or VOCs.- Ivanka for president

Yes, that makes sense in the light of his post-trial comments, which seemed at odds with his voting behaviour.- 2nd Impeachment of a US President

- 2nd Impeachment of a US President
Looks like they are trying it on and hoping it will go away, by being dismissive.These are their only options when they don't have the moral or evidential advantage. I read today some GOP officials want to form a breakaway party. That could dilute GOP vote potential in future elections.- 2nd Impeachment of a US President
Apparently, even Trump was impressed with their presentation, whilst deriding his own lawyers wishy-washy efforts. I imagine there's some serious internal contortions happening within the more moderate GOP senators. The Dems may not get the numbers to convict but I think it will be more than present.- Problems with Dell XP Standby modus
