Origin of the term white elephant
The term derives from the sacred white elephants kept by Southeast Asian monarchs in Burma, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.[2] To possess a white elephant was regarded (and is still regarded in Thailand and Burma) as a sign that the monarch reigned with justice and power, and that the kingdom was blessed with peace and prosperity. The opulence expected of anyone who owned a beast of such stature was great. Monarchs often exemplified their possession of white elephants in their formal titles (e.g., Hsinbyushin, lit. "Lord of the White Elephant" and the third monarch of the Konbaung dynasty).[3] Because the animals were considered sacred and laws protected them from labor, receiving a gift of a white elephant from a monarch was simultaneously a blessing and a curse. It was a blessing because the animal was sacred and a sign of the monarch's favour, and a curse because the recipient now had an expensive-to-maintain animal he could not give away and could not put to much practical use.

No. Once you enter a black hole, you can’t get back out.
There are Black holes connected by tunnels. Like if two wells were connected at their bottoms.
So theoretically, two people could jump in either well and meet in the center. There’s just no real reason to do so because you’d die lol
yeah about that...

"In a landmark series of calculations, physicists have proved that black holes can shed information, which seems impossible by definition. The work appears to resolve a paradox that Stephen Hawking first described five decades ago."
There is only 1 sun.
I thought the west coast had their own sun and the east coast had theirs.

I don’t have a fact but I was thinking about reflexes and time today. A bug almost flew in my eye and my eyelashes and senses were quick enough to show my eye before the bug could go any further.
This happens all the time and it’s kinda amazing that our reflexes move that fast

I'm learning that the whole bible is a metaphor for Christ Consciousness. Jesus was a mental state. The bible is an instruction manual on how to manifest.
I'm learning this with the utmost seriousness.

Its Cesare Borgia, a powerful Italian noble. I think he beefed the Pope at point. He's mentioned in Gza's Liquid Swords lol.
