I have a question too...a much more simple one, though not for Beeno specifically. Anyone with any engineering understanding is welcome to take a crack.
There is 100m long passage. It is 4m wide and 4m high. The floors and walls are smooth, flat and square.
You wish to move a rectangular cube from one end of the corridor to the other.
The cube's dimensions are 6mL x 3mW x 3mH and it weighs 150tons.
This means that you only have one position that the object would fit into the passage. It leaves you 1/2m of space on each side and 1m above.
For reference, 150tons is the weight of 50 x double cab bakkies.

Beeno, with all your constant preaching to all and sundry on this forum about the universe, and DNA..... it's about time you answered a question...……...so I have reposted my question into a new thread here
How were the pyamids made?
You know...... the 2.5 million blocks of individual rocks that make up each pyramid and each rock is between 2 to 16 tons in weight...… with some pieces weighing 100 tons, that were put in places within the pyramids, and hoisted up to incredible heights...….oh...…..and each piece of rock had to be transported from over 600km - 700km away.
All this was done without the wheel even being invented yet...….. oh...… and the rocks were placed with such precision, that scientists would battle with today's technology to replicate the same thing...…..
Did I also mention the absolute precise holes which were drilled through some of these 100 ton limestone rocks...……
Or how about how they were lined up so accurately, to the stars in Orion's belt, which was only discovered thousands of years after the pyramids were constructed.....
Maybe you could explain how the dimensions of the pyramids, when mathematically calculated, equal to 3.1419, which is PI, which was only discovered 2000 years later
Tell me Beeno…….. let's solve this relatively new and recent creation of something...…... before you start trying to preach to me and everyone else on here...... about how you believe DNA and the universe was created
Surely something constructed so recently, should be much easier to explain, than something like the universe or DNA..... which is far...…. far...…. far …...older.
The floor is yours Beeno...…. I await your detailed answer
