Hi. After watching the mini-series and reading alot of articles on WP about the disaster, I read about Valery Khodemchuk. The list states "likely killed immediately; body never found, likely buried under the wreckage of the steam separator drums". Would there be any remains left of him, or would it all be destroyed due to the radiation? Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 10:26, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
If you cleaned them to the bare, uncorroded metal and soldered square contacts the thickness of the coin to the rim, 180 degrees apart. The 1981 to 1909 penny must be pretty damn low as it's almost pure copper and not that big (19mm), is it thick and small enough to outconduct all the undebased silver coins?

Has The Big Bang & Evolution been proven, If so, Why are they still addressed as theories? What I mean is that for a long period of time in history there has been debates about the origin of life & some people have held it that a supreme being or beings were responsible & some have held it that the universe naturally came into being through natural selection. There have been many scientific contradictions but there seems to be a favouring of natural selection. I can cite science articles, books & passages that speak for/against both sides to prove that I am not giving my own personal opinions & biases but looking & presenting the implications objectively. This is a discussion that should be had because if anything in life is sacred, the truth is...A true scientists should look at the implications objectively,be prepared to be proven wrong & be willing to accept it. Again I will stress that I am not giving any of my own personal opinions or biases but instead, offering to present evidence while also willing to accept the possibility of being proven wrong. I have no intention of deceiving, misleading or manipulating anyone which is why I will only present & address without being personally involved. I only ask that my debate opponents (no disrespect) who may be skeptics do the same because you have every right to expect the same from me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Repent.The End is Near ( talk • contribs) 14:21, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

I smelled this rat. Don't we have some kind of (polite; more polite that I would be...) RTFM, to redirect questions about relativity, evolution etc. to refdesk archive, where they were asked hundreds of time? Gem fr ( talk) 22:24, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
In a James Bond novel (title in rot13: Zbbaenxre) Bond flees from the villain through steam pipes and survives by huddling inside them while the villain blasts hot steam (not convinced that Bond is in the pipes, but as a precaution). He's badly burned, but escapes and recovers in full in a hospital. Contrary to the movies, it seems to me that Fleming at least paid lip service to realism in the books, but surviving something like this still seems like a little over the top, considering how uncomfortable is even a waft of mere 100°C steam from a coffee pot. Are the any real chances of someone surviving an (I think) 30-second blast stuck to the sides of a (presumably hot) metal pipe, and being well enough to crawl off afterwards? 93.136.9.45 ( talk) 23:15, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
