Why were Romans seemingly ok with handing over large portions of their territory to foederati rulers? There appears to be a distinct desire to preserve legal autonomy of Roman citizens there, but little concern with the loss of roman hegemony. Are there any examples of protests or anger over this?

I've been reading about Tongilsilla recently, and can't help but draw parallels between the United Kingdom today and Tongilsilla's government a thousand years ago. Was Tongilsilla a constitutional monarchy with a parliament and Prime Minister keeping a monarch in check?

If it takes 230 M years to orbit the galaxy, then our sun has only orbited 63 galactic years. I can't understand how such complexity and order can form in just 63 orbits. Are there explanations in galactic evolution theories to explain this?

Some of my Hong Kong friends are calling Corona Virus "China's Chernobyl" in terms of how it's ruining faith in the state. Are there actual parallels or is this an extreme comparison?
