No, it is factual accuracy.

It does move but the vast differences in the mass of the objects involved means that the mass of the Earth moves less than the width of an atom.

Like vehicles travelling round a motorway at the same speed, when there is plenty of distance between the bodies there is no risk of a collision.

Asteroids and Trojans. Part 1: Introduction to asteroids and setting the scene. A look at the early formation of our Solar system and how that in turn relates to the general conditions of how and where the asteroids formed within our Solar system. https://youtu.be/Il_DM-_Sw0g
Asteroids and Trojans. Part 2: Kirkwood gap and the density and distribution of the asteroids. A look at the difference between the portrayal of an asteroid field in films and the reality of the one in our Solar system. The asteroids are widely scattered and even occur in distinct bands creating the Kirkwood gap due to the synchronisation of the orbits of the asteroids and Jupiter. https://youtu.be/ibXLAewSTCs
Asteroids and Trojans. Part 3: Asteroid composition and the Lagrange point. Looking at the three major asteroid types, Metallic, Carbon and Silicon and how the distribution of the Trojan and Greek asteroids around Jupiter relates to the Lagrange point and the three body problem. https://youtu.be/QUEJYsGNRWE

Reply to ELI5:Why do we exclude the price of things like Food, Housing and Energy costs when looking at the total number for inflation? by DeludedRaven
We generally don't, but some measures of inflation are useful under certain circumstances for measuring things which don't have a seasonal fluctuation like food. If a particular crop has recently been harvested the price for that food will drop, but that isn't really significant to a general measure of inflation.

In human civilisations Greece was about as far north as they got further north and the wolves and bears were far better suited to the conditions.

They evolved in Asia and would need to cross terrain that isn't good for tigers to hunt in.

Nope tigers were never present in either Europe or Africa.

Siberia is huge and largely empty of humans, giving plenty of space for tigers to hunt and their thick coats help them resist the cold.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL a special law in the UK was created to ensure that the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital will forever be able to collect royalties from stage performances, audiobooks, book releases, etc. of Peter Pan in the UK.

The NHS directly funds the day to day operations, but the hospital also carries out a lot of research in the Biomedical Research Centre some of this is funded by the National Institute for Health Research and some via donations.

Reply to ELI5 what's a surplus? by CalmlyPsychedelic
Governments set a budget for each year estimating what service they need and can afford, they also set out how much the government need to borrow and the rate of tax to balance out the budget. In some years you may get a sudden unexpected increase in tax revenues which means the government has more money coming in than they were expecting to spend, the difference is the surplus, which can be used to pay off government debt or increase spending.

Steam isn't a clean power in trains it uses coal and the coal smoke created was a major issue from the first day it was used and steadily became a bigger and bigger issue.

Not only that, but most of the blastocyst, (ball of cells which becomes the foetus) about 160 out of the 200 cells form the placenta with only the remaining 40 cells developing into the foetus.

Battle of Aspern-Essling was one of the bloodiest battles of the Napoleonic era, in part due to the huge amount of Austrian artillery on the battlefield firing an enormous number of rounds.

It is important because gun deaths also includes a substantial amount of domestic violence cases, there is an attempt by a minority of people to portray gun deaths as just gang members killing each other or occasional innocent member of the public, the truth is that gang violence accounts for a relatively small amount of gun deaths in America and you are more likely to die of a gunshot wound if you own a gun than if you don't.
