I traced down this loud sun theory, and it comes from a post from reddit of a guy who did the maths and obtained a volume level of 100dBA, although with one bold assumption, which is that the sound of the sun would propagate just as well as its light, which would absolutely not be true if there was an atmosphere between the sun and the earth. This reddit post has then been cited in a few articles. Sauce for anyone interested https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/33xuxu/comment/cqpsap8/

I mean, can you tell for sure that there will not be any war in France or Germany in the next 70 years? I don't think it's likely, and I'm clearly of the opinions that we should apply whatever carbon reduction that is most carbon effective, nuclear included, given the current climate emergency, but considering a nuclear power plant could be targeted by an army or terror group is not that far-fetched.

What I've read is the judge had let women that weren't part of the case testify during the trial that they were abused, even though that related to different event than the one the trial was about.

Well, not to be that guy (actually definitely to be that guy) but what Newton discovered was that gravity was proportionnal to the mass of the bodies, and to the inverse of the square of the distance between their center of mass, and this second point seems too difficult to prove for a 9 years old.
