A hero to the Welsh, Owain Glyndŵr led the country in a rebellion against the English crown that lasted for over a decade. Although ultimately unsuccessful at gaining independence for his people, Owain Glyndŵr was the last person to hold the title Prince of Wales, with his story and exploits becoming the stuff of local legend. Nevertheless, his cunning and bravery led today’s United Kingdom through one of its bloodiest conflicts, and the skeletons at Pembrokeshire could have lived and died during those times. - https://www.zmescience.com[..]nce/lost-welsh-abbey-skeletons-94245235/

Conservation laws are very useful for physics. Basically, when a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change in time (and it is conserved), that is described by a conservation law. - https://www.zmescience.com[..]/?goal=0_3b5aad2288-11c151253e-242734313
Accuracy errors typically come from systematic errors — as in, your measuring device/method isn’t good enough to detect whatever you aim to detect accurately. Precision errors are more often associated with noise, randomness, electronic errors, temperature, or other factors that affect measurements. Accuracy is the measurement of conformity, precision is the measure of statistical variability. - https://www.zmescience.com[..]/science/precision-vs-accuracy-15082022/
