They're "brakes" and it's "braking". Yes, I know the previous commenter got it wrong as well.
The usual problem with slamming on the brakes is that it causes the wheels to lock up and slide instead of slowing the vehicle down.
Yep, exactly. We already have exceptions for these dogs now in many cases.
Relativity only applies to local reference frames and not to the recession rates of cosmologically distant objects.
I can't find any reference that says it's moving away from us at twice the speed of light, which would violate Relativity. The fact that it is further away from us in light years than the age of the universe in years, is due to the fact that the space itself is expanding.
Does the world have a government or did the headline perhaps forget to mention that it's referring to one particular country...?
I think General Relativity is based on the idea that a frame of reference that's in freefall is equivalent to one that in a gravity free region of space (at least that was one of Einstein's Gedankenexperiments that led him to his theory of GR).
Having said that, in reality a sufficiently strong gravitational field will cause a tidal effect, which will crush you along one axis and pull you apart along another.
"THIS WEBSITE IS A JOKE"
That picture and caption is outstanding.
Yep, using it as a literal test seems to miss the point, namely that there is a significant %age of films and TV that fail to meet even that low a bar.
Medicine is any substance that has a demonstrable healthcare effect (demonstrated through double blind tests and not some rando's anecdote). That includes natural substances.
To put it another way, medicine and natural substances are not two mutually exclusive (i.e. disjoint) sets, as you and/or your doctor friend appear to be implying.

NP. Yes ABS is designed to avoid exactly that issue, essentially by implementing in a mechanical way what drivers used to do manually - pumping the brakes etc.
