June, 2050: What will the world be like
No. The sun will follow its own path till it dies, but no one alive today will be alive then.

Any physical oddity might single someone out as shaman material

Jesus Through Pagan Eyes: a Christian Reflection and Analysis
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous comment and observation.
The description of shaman appearance as often characterized by "physical oddity" intrigues me.
Is that "physical oddity" in the form of, for example, different-colored eyes or might it include some disability?

June, 2050: What will the world be like
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
Your description of the sun as a "giant fusion reactor" caused me to consider its light circulating through the solar system.
The water cycle is affected by impediments to its traveling through its different phases in the air, in plants and in the water.
Might that "giant fusion reactor" be dimmed or unaffected by massive reliance on solar energy?

Natural Law Ethics
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
Polygamous practices have such an ancient past.
Is their biogeographical extent as anciently vast?
In other words, was polygamy a practice that would have been found at just about any place, any time in the ancient world or would there have been proselytizers traveling the known world advocating against or for it and therefore inserting it where some cultures never would have known or practiced it otherwise?

Pagan Britain: a Review
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
My comments Mar 16, 2023, indicated to you Prehistoric Dartmoor Walks as an online source that I inspected.
That site mentions perhaps 174 original stones to the Dartmoor Site. It numbers 157 as still standing today.
Would the 17 missing stones have been relocated by strong weather or repurposed or weathered into nothingness?

Rising Ground: a review
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
Cornish expiring as a spoken language in the late 19th century intrigues me.
Is it true that Cornish stopped being spoken in the 1870s at all or were there Cornish speakers who were so dispersed that in essence they would have had no one nearby to speak the language with?

Skymeadow: a review
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
This is a related, unrelated question in that it's prompted by your answer Jan. 7, 2020, invoking container-planting.
Some Unitedstatesians like to plant plants always in biodegradable containers.
Might you plant a transplantable plant in such a container or would your always prefer unconfined transplants?

The Case for Jesus:a review
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
The phrase "bread of life" intrigues me.
Throughout time bread and water invite that possessive prepositional phrase.
Which choice, between bread -- because one survives not on water alone -- and water -- because one survives with it in desert climates -- would be more compelling during Jesus Christ's ministry?
(Would bread have sufficient moisture content for someone to survive without a water source?)

The Quiet Servants
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
The Amrat sisters appear to be a committed, tight-knit team. Do they operate from a particular convent or do they reside, grouped or individually, elsewhere?

Understanding the doctrine of the Trinity
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
Iraq is an Arabic-speaking country so present-day Nestorians must know Arabic.
Would there be any language anciently and modernly particularly associated with them?

Dwarfs in Fairy Tales
Thank you for the five links at the very end of your wizzley.
The gnomes link intrigues me. But the message shows that the site can't load.
Would the information be available elsewhere or would the messaged problem be fix-able?

What Think You of Christ?
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
The present-day Nestorians must be religious minorities almost undetectably small wherever they might be.
Would Nestorian believers tend to be a tight group of family and friends whose beliefs wend their way from generation to generation rather than through proselytizing?

The Drunken Botanist: a review
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
A monkey puzzle tree bigger than its garden and taller than the associated house must be quite a sight!
Would that be a dangerous situation in branch-breaking strong winds or super-cold weather?

The Idwal Skyline: a mountain walk
Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.
The introductory paragraph advises us that "While none can match the difficulties of the Scottish Highlands, the Idwal Skyline makes a strong claim to be up there with the hard routes."
What are the unmatchable difficulties that the Scottish Highlands display?
