The most efficient base is e, cosmologists describe the big bang as a rapid expansion of spacetime that doesn't say anything about it being the beginning of time it's just the furthest back that can be currently measured, and the egg came before the chicken.

The moon of course causes the tides, but the tides are also causing the moon to drift away from earth.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And the moon drifting away is stealing some of our rotational energy, making the days longer.

We're also lucky to be on this planet during the time the sun and moon's apparent sizes match. Being able to see a total solar eclipse where you can see immediately around the sun without needing a spaceship might be incredibly rare in the universe. Though total solar eclipses in general are pretty common, assuming our gas giants' accumulation of moons is typical for giant planets, they'd happen any time the moon passed through the giant's shadow.

During the medieval period there was no currency used throughout the whole of Germany. Most used the Silver Penny (Pfennig) but there were different types with a different value (amount of silver in them) that also changed over time (some were more stable, some changed every year). People were obligated to exchange old coins for the new ones and part of the exchange was held back by the people in charge (the so called Schlagschatz). Also people coming from a different location were obligated to exchange their coins or silver bars to the local currency at the time. The exchange rates were quite different.

It was a complete mess. But somehow it worked.

Dont do this.

You can hurt yourself if you grab the top of your thumb with the fingers of the same hand and make a motion like youre banging a hammer with your wrist.
