Only realistic solution.

@Plutian it is good to have atmosphere. It help with cooling multiple components. Also prevent deterioration of many materials such as rubber and plastic. You don't need oxigen though.

You still need doors in case depressurization.

@MaciejPiechotka are you assuming here that quantum theory is compatible with relativity?

dP is limited by speed of light. Did it put absolute constraint on dX then?

@Patrice I thought about it again and you may be right, I may subconsciously applied our culture norms to that society, but they may have complete different norms. It may work then.

@Patrice Don't think that even bunch of slaves is worth the trouble and if you have to share them with society you have even less incentive to turn yourself into baby factory.

@Patrice In this case woman will not have any incentive to have boys. It will be overly complicated and painful way to make abortion.

And if this liquid was engine coolant then explosion is explained too.

Look around. We already live in such society.

Of course it will lead to "one of two sides would have not developed" it is only unclear which one. Nuking Moscow won't give easy victory to US.

@JoeBloggs naked, shaved and after colonoscopy :)

If you want example of something with high viscosity think about glass. It is liquid with very high viscosity.

it won't kill anyone. Just make word pretty weird. Everyone will have strange haircut. Because hairs will looks like you just wear synthetic pullover. All point up. But no lightning bolt hitting everything or something like that.

You can add some other forces to equation. If your rain drop have electric charge with same sign as planet it will slow down them.

There is other semiconductor except Si based.

Oh. I get it. You suppose that Eliza can't cool things below zero,
