You might be thinking of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image (https://science.nasa.gov/asset/hubble/hubble-ultra-deep-fiel...). I believe it was the result of NASA saying "Let's look at what appears to be a completely dark spot in space, zoom in as far as we can, and see what's there."
We see stars in our galaxy because they are close enough to us that we see them as individual stars. Compare that to the Andromeda Galaxy, which is far enough away that without intense zoom, it looks like a single source of light. There are galaxies even farther away, which we cannot see with the naked eye at all, but zooming in on them like Hubble did means we eventually get enough resolution to see they are individual galaxies, unfathomably far away.
JWST being able to see infrared means we'll see galaxies that are so far away, their light is redshifted so we (and Hubble) cannot even see them at all.
With regards to your question about how to test the bubble hypothesis posted by parent, we would be limited by how variable our point of view can be. We can gather what data we can at one end of Earth's orbit, and then try to see from the opposite end and compare what we see, comparing data sets to see if certain galaxies or stars are in different positions. We already do some of this when dealing with gravitational lensing and I believe it's one of the primary ways we can detect black holes, as they bend light a lot.
That, and the unfortunate truth that if Firefox only exists because Google needs a fig leaf against monopoly charges, it hasn't proven its value in enough ways for it to stick around. I love Firefox, but the market in general has centralized on Chromium for a lot of reasons.
Philosophical reasons to exist are great, but philosophy doesn't pay the bills, it seems.
The President is the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Military. Currently, European leaders are discussing sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, but the UK has claimed they will only send troops if the US promises to provide a "backstop".
So a lot of the power of the President to direct foreign policy is because they essentially control the military and many other countries rely on the US military for a lot. On the other hand, if you anger the US, the President can decide to change tactics suddenly such as Obama increasing the use of drone strikes or Trump using NATO as a bargaining chip.
The US is still looked upon as the final say in military situations because it also has the largest military in both active combat forces and equipment.There is an expectation that the US will act as world police - I remember Obama catching grief over not intervening in Syria. All of this adds up to America being "the big stick" and has somewhat changed the Presidency. This is also why Isolationism vs Interventionism is such a heated debate.
If the demons control your body by abusing your brain and nerve impulses, it could be. Our bodies work through electrical signals and various neurotransmitters like serotonin, so an anti-psychotic that affects brain receptors could prevent such a "hotwiring".
Would it be any different than if aliens could beam signals to individual neurons to force you to do something? What about a skilled surgeon with an Arduino, or those seizure prevention circuits they can install?
Roblox Studio is a very powerful system, my 8 year old has played around with it to make simple maps and obbys. People have coded Call of Duty style games on Roblox (such as Frontlines) so it's pretty surprising how far you can stretch the engine.
My son loves airships (thanks Mario and Bowser lol) but I think the main issue is that even with the most buoyant gas we can use, hydrogen, physics doesn't really allow for much lifting capacity once you add the lower compartment where passengers or cargo would be. Even the Hindenberg had a lightweight grand piano made, but eventually had it removed to save weight.
The numbers look even worse with helium, and it's a lot easier to make hydrogen than to capture enough helium. I'd love to see some kind of hybrid airship/aerofoil system that could lift more with powered assistance, but I don't know if that would be more or less efficient than huge cargo jets.
Aerogel with CO2 is pretty common, I wonder if helium aerogel will be viable, or if the helium would slowly escape like it does in a balloon? I don't think we could use hydrogen for it as supercritical hydrogen sounds very dangerous.
Same group who claimed to have Fulton County, Georgia data, pushed back the pay deadlines, but never released anything after Fulton County didn't pay the ransom. I don't doubt they have actually hit targets but that seed of doubt is planted.
Is that some calculus about risks? Ransoming data with a threat, might kind of make people shrug in the aftermath. Airing all of the dirty laundry might make authorities take a significantly harder look at you. Like those groups who apologize for hacking a hospital.
Glad to know you didn't get sucked down too, neck deep water draining has some crazy strength. I'm sure that was quite a magical experience for Flashlight Stoner as well!
