  • I’d say that it’s a matter of timescale, very little if anything of the initial version of the USS Constitution is part of the current version of the ship but id consider it the same ship just version whatever because it was slowly replaced over a couple hundred years. It’s the side effect of “living” objects, though if there is one old ass ship that is 100% immune to the Ship of Theseus it’s the Vasa.








  • I’m convinced that my great grandfather was autistic. My great grandfather could recite the inner mechanisms of a V1 and V2 guidence system 70 years after last laying eyes on them, he could also remember how to disassemble a Stuka air break similarly well. There was also the fact that whenever my great grandmother got a new appliance he HAD to disassemble it and reassemble it.

    Just as a quick note he was not German, he was American-Scots he was in US Naval R&D during the war.
