How to prevail in an argument?
Pretty simple. Start accusing your opponent of something.
➖"You just don't respect me!"
➖"Why are you raising your voice?!"
➖"You don't understand me!"
👉 The main thing I advise is to say these kinds of phrases as calmly as possible. Well and the cherry on the cake is your beautiful exit in English, that is, just after the phrase, turn around and walk away. And no, you won't act like a fool.

Who invented E-Mail?
V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai.
In 1978, a 14-year-old named V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai developed a computer program, which replicated the features of the interoffice, inter-organizational paper mail system.
He named his program “EMAIL”. Shiva filed an application for copyright in his program and in 1982 the United States Copyright Office issued a Certificate of Registration, No. TXu-111-775, to him on the program.
In the summer of 1978, Shiva had been recruited for programming assignments at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) in Newark, New Jersey. One of his supervisors, Dr. Leslie P. Michelson, recognized his abilities and challenged him to translate the conventional paper-based interoffice and inter-organizational communication system (i.e., paper-based mail and memoranda) to an electronic communication system.

Is the earth's rotation slowing down?
Yes it is, due to a transfer of Earth's rotational momentum to the Moon's orbital momentum as tidal friction slows the Earth's rotation.
That increase in the Moon's speed is causing it to slowly recede from Earth(about 4 cm per year), increasing its orbital period and the length of a month as well.

How Long Does it Take Sunlight to Reach the Earth?
In space, light travels at 300,000 kilometres (186,000 miles) per second.
Even at this breakneck speed, covering the 150 million odd kilometres (93 million miles) between us and the Sun takes a considerable time.

Can you walk if there is no friction?
You could not walk without
the friction between your shoes and the ground.
As you try to step forward, you push your foot backward.
Friction holds your shoe to the ground, allowing you to walk. Consider how difficult it is to walk on slippery ice, where there is little friction.
Walking without friction is like walking on a treadmill, you won't be able to go anywhere, but just slip on the same exact position.
Matter of fact, that you won't be able to walk on even a treadmill. But only humans won't be affected, even the animals would be affected and for some like snakes, moving is impossible.
