If your definition of greatest is "total GDP" then it is the greatest in the world. That said, I would agree that Tokyo and maybe even London are much finer examples of cities.
What's to stop sellers from lying or fudging the numbers in a realistic direction? Either way, this seems bad and I can't see how it would help with trust.
I personally would love to live in Hokkaido. The snow is perhaps the best and most reliable in the world. And the summers in the rest of Japan are miserably hot and miserable, while they're just pleasantly warm in Hokkaido.
One interesting counterexample to this is deuterium and water made from it. It is 11% denser than normal water, ice made from it sinks in normal water, it has a higher heat capacity, is more viscous and has a higher boiling point. It's also completely stable!
You can also drink it, though not a good idea to have more than a few sips due to the extra weight and different reactivity. You might feel dizzy if you drank a few glasses worth and it replaced the ordinary water in your inner ear.
Also, heavy water is typically slightly radioactive due to it usually containing tritiated water (T2O), though regular water can also contain that.
Apparently, swapping 20% of your cells' water with heavy water is survivable, but if you try this, don't blame me if you go sterile (cell mitosis will likely be affected).
Wow that's pretty interesting. I'm least surprised that deuterated chemistry is what's first mentioned, and I'm sure that there are some other good stuff in the category. I bet heavy gasoline (lol) has a lower octane number, for example.
You could be an engineer doing something physical like construction or mechanical engineering? Advanced degree and high pay but you spend plenty of time doing real tangible stuff. Also, there's obvious stuff like surgeons: highly respected and you're doing physical work.
I think this is great. I've certainly had companies where I believed in the mission and others where I was just doing the work to help along the project or advance my own career experience. But I wasn't ever there to deceive people or fraudulently misrepresent myself.
