Petrolium is made from ancient algae and plants, not dinosaurs.

It's only science if you're willing to accept the conclusion the observations lead you to even if they prove your idea wrong, because the point of science is to learn and gain understanding, and that is done by being wrong about things and investigating to find the correct answer.

It's no longer science if you're not willing to accept the conclusions because they prove your idea false, which ultimately is the problem that happens with science deniers, they are unwilling to accept being wrong.

Good point, though it still won't melt all at once though it takes time to melt and boil (not much time but still takes time).

It won't float away if you freeze it first, of course it will sublimate away but not all at once.

Edit: Melts, doesn't sublimate, still won't melt all at once though.

I can do at least 45 seconds up to a full minute.

It does seem nice but I hear the association fees there are insane.

People can make dents in the outer shell of human knowledge without having PhDs though. As in to discover something new and revolutionary, plenty of great scientists have and likely many more will continue to.

Well Rotating a rotor on a generator is the most convenient way to make electricity with parts that last a long amount of time. Also doesn't help that we use AC power while other sources like photovoltaic produce DC power which needs to be converted to be used.

I've never seen one up close before, it's interesting how much their fins look like feathers, though it shouldn't be that surprising given their purpose.

Just goes to show how much the universe is a chaotic and cruel place, hopefully we won't end up joining them in the cold dark void in our future.

It's a similar story with Fungi since mushrooms are the reproductive part of them.
