I think these are all excellent questions, but to my limited knowledge they haven't been answered yet. I think these are all active areas of research in cosmology.

They are fun to wonder about though. If you have a deep interest maybe check out your library or bookstore. Once in a while scientists in these fields will write a book about their work in these areas.

Yes, that's the one. Not exactly the same topic as the original question, but related.

It's an interesting question, but a bit vague. Even at room temperature, relatively needs to be considered for the motion of electrons.

You're probably thinking about bigger stuff though. The short answer is that temperature is unbounded so yes, there is a temp at which it is significant for the motion of all particles. I think inside of stars this can happen, but my knowledge jn that area is pretty limited.

Veritassium has a recent video about some of this that you may find interesting if you haven't already seen it.

Nah, the Konami code gives you benefits.

I think those are the Church of Satan principles.

Some may prefer the Satanic Temple's tenets: https://thesatanictemple.com/blogs/the-satanic-temple-tenets/there-are-seven-fundamental-tenets

Either way, I agree, LA should be required to put up the beliefs of all religions if it will require even one.

Square has had a lot of popular games past FF7. Just in the Final Fantasy series, they've had good success with ff9, ff10, ff12, ff14, and ff7 remakes. All of the others in the series are usually pretty well liked too. That's just their final fantasy main line series however.

They also have Dragon Quest, Tomb Raider, Marvel's (both good and bad), and Kingdom Hearts. They also published Nier: Automata; but I'm not sure how much that counts as their game.

All of those series have had successful and unsuccessful games, based on objective sales figures. It seems you may be thinking that SquareEnix == FF only, but that's not really true. And sure, the FF games have a lot in common, but so do the Halo games, the CoD games, etc. That's because they are all part of the same series and it is expected that they have similarities.

Been waiting for Steam releases of 16 and Rebirth since they launched. I'm guessing I'm not the only one.

We're currently in the information age, which is due to silicon. In a few hundred years, this time may reasonably be called the silicon age. Society has only recently transferred to the silicon age from the previous iron age. If we don't cause a total collapse of our society, then we will be in the silicon age for a few hundred more years, and that will likely include space colonization.

The space age you're referring to is likely the 60s, when space exploration was beginning. A decade or two isn't long enough to be considered an age.

That's why we name our ages after the materials within. Material science is the foundation for almost all other physical sciences.

Is it possible the worm starved to death?

How is the X in xitter pronounced? Is it "sh" like in Xi? This seems to fit this time line, but it would be nice to have confirmation.
