What Is The Etymology Of The Words Reach Towards Golden And Gigantic

If a hole is made right through Earth so it reaches the other side, what will happen when one jumps into it?

Earth’s center of mass is pretty much at its core. It is therefore clear that the attractive force exerted by the Earth towards all bodies is directed towards its center.Why is this important? Say the particular hole looks like thisSay the center is at B (it’s not exactly B, but slightly below B). When the person is in the first leg of the journey, i.e. not yet reached the center, he is falling to the center, or basically towards the point of attraction. So, his speed naturally increases.Once he passes B, though, he is now falling away from the center, which is kind of equivalent to jumping up. The force he now experiences is against the direction of his motion, so he now decelerates. Once he completely stops, he falls back towards to the center and the entire cycle repeats.If you’ve noticed, this is basically an SHM (simple harmonic motion). He will keep oscillating about the center with a time period of about 43 minutes (if I’m not wrong).This, however, is assuming that you initially simply dropped into the hole or had low start speed. If you were actively launched into the hole at a high speed, it is possible you may not decelerate fast enough to stop within the hole. You may fly right out the other side. If the speed is high enough, you could even reach space.

What means the word chavette?

It's not really a word and it has no meaning. It's a made-up name.

The suffix "ette" is diminutive (feminine form, in French and English).

"Chav" could be from a Spanish surname, but it would be difficult to say for sure.

What is the history & origin of the giant eagles?

Briefly (and when I have more time I can provide some references perhaps): the great eagles came into the story of the Hobbit in a later draft of the original story. They already existed in Tolkien's mind and legendarium at the time, which consisted of the many unpublished notes later published as The Silmarillion and The History of Middle Earth.The great eagles were one of many animals in Middle-Earth who could speak and reason (ex: the fox that sees Frodo, Merry and Pippin traveling in the Fellowship of the Ring, the great spiders of Mirkwood, etc.) but they are specifically identified as messengers of Manwe, the King of the Valar in the Uttermost West. He and his wife Varda (Elbereth Gilthoniel) were approximately king and queen of the Valar, and Manwe was the Vala of the sky and the air, and of course birds.At various times in the many stories generally seen as parts of The Silmarillion, the eagles are watching Middle-Earth and bringing messages to and from Manwe.The implication, when they intervene, is that the Valar are intervening in the affairs of Middle-Earth, and Tolkien would connect the appearance of the great eagles to his idea of "eucatastrophe", or an un-looked-for turn of events from disaster to joy, or a "good catastrophe."

The Lucky Angel Coin Legend


Legend has it that anyone who owns an Angel Coin is promised love, money, and happiness. The original "Angel Coin" was minted by Augustine Dupre, a nobleman who was commissioned by King Louis XVI in 1792 to design the new monetary currency for France. A firm believer in the power of guardian angels, Dupre incorporated this theme into his design using a mold of unknown material created by an alchemist known only as Lestat.

Years later, when Dupre fell out of favor with the King and was condemned to death, legend has it that he was saved from the guillotine when the Coin he carried as a talisman reflected the sunlight in his jail cell so brilliantly one day that the guard on duty broke into tears at the sight, unlocked the cell door, and let Dupre make his escape.

From that moment on, Dupre's creation became known as the "Angel Coin". He considered it a blessing for his life-long belief in angels. The next 200 years are filled with wondrous stories attributed to this talisman, including many claims of lives saved. Fisherman never went to sea without them. Most French pilots during WWI always packed one in their kits. Even Napolean carried the "Angel Coin" in his vest pocket (until one evening in 1815 on the verge of a great battle in Belgium, he arrogantly flung the coin into a nearby river which, not too coincidently, marked the starting point of his tragic demise).

In fact, the power of these coins was considered so great that Hermann Goering, the engineer of Hitler's evil vision, ordered his soldiers to round up all they could find which he then had buried in a secret location that's never been uncovered. Goering's obsession with good and evil was fanatical, and it's well documented that he devoted a great deal of Germany's resources to his futile search for another source of power --the Holy Grail.

More common, though, are the claims of ordinary people, whose lonely or troubled and often desperate lives have been re-made by the "Angel Coin" talisman. Skeptics call these remarkable transformations "coincidences". Believers call them "rewards for faith".

Based on exact specifications of the original "Angel Coins", the current re-minted supply includes a melting of many of the same ingredients as found in the few remaining originals. Each "Angel Coin" made today includes a portion of the same characteristics as the original "Angel Coins."
