A1 Again a wrong answer. Jordonics. There is a nato treaty and prisoners cannot be mishandled as written there at least legally and there no evidences and I can quote from many wrs after books, The one thing Americans planned was to build a wall across Germany, as east and west as the Americans who fought the least wanted an equal share in the victory and so divided the control of the front. Masny Generals ran away and hid themselves in many places anda lots of books on them had been written and available in all libraries. Goebbels like a few war criminals were hunted down after the proper proclamations, There was no legally a tit for tat. A2 Many science facts read over there require corrections; it is conditional and partly true. The DNA link of one human is not that long. DNA is a factor even in a single cell. Speed of light is the only one that is also conditional as the theory emanated out of the einstein only as E=MC2 where Lambda was omitted mathematically incorrect. Also mathematically energy shall be inversely proportional to the speed of light ,so Mass cannot keep on being varying in the true weight. It cannot also literally mean that when the speed is 299.79 as a constant the mass cannot weigh so big and cannot equal in energy also, as great as the mass is, slower than the speed and requires heavy energy. There can never be any situation Mass is zero or energy is zero but can only be infinity or tending to one. Do not read my article half baked and shoot some nonsense.
