Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

Tony killed 2014 Thanos. That timeline just no longer has to deal with him. That means infinity war and endgame can’t even happen there. So Tony didn’t just save his timeline but that one as well. Loki, Heimdall, vision, Natasha, and even Tony. They’re all alive in that timeline. Can you imagine? A timeline where almost everyone is alive and Thanos is already dead. And it’s all thanks to Tony. Our Tony died so everyone else in his timeline and almost everyone, including himself, in another timeline could live.

I always thought it was pointless that Odin would just let Hela break free after his death and destroy everything he had previously worked on. After all, he had pressed Thor to be king not so long ago. For what? That he would be king a few years until Odin's death, and then all Asgard would be taken over by Hela? What was Odin thinking about?

Correction: What were writers thinking about when writing a story with so many plot holes and the answer is they weren’t thinking :D

In-universe it really doesn’t make sense why Odin did that. He couldn’t find another way to contain her? Then why he never mentioned it? Why he never told about her to his sons? Why he never tried to find another way to defeat her after his death? Didn’t he care about his people and his sons who would be left alone to face her? It shows Odin was never wise, and even a worse father and king than we previously thought.
