Ironically, and anecdotally, I'm running a cheap motor from an unknown manufacturer in a very wet environment as a daily rider for years and I haven't had any issues.
It's easier to hate the person different from you that is directly in front of you, than the nebulous concept of some company that is far away. Plus, like the other poster mentioned, it's easy and proffitable to play on people's fears.

Heard a guy respond to another guy calling him a motherfucker with 'yeah, but your mom didn't complain much', so it got me thinking. What are your best comebacks for the common insults you hear from time to time?

I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country. It got me wondering how many people I'm accidentally disparaging when I don't mean everyone in said state or region is terrible. So… Please be as specific or obtuse as your privacy filter requires.

The fact that dental is just now being covered under our "universal" healthcare is mind boggling. How are the teeth separate from the rest of the body?
I believe what you are looking for is spacetime which is the foundation that all of the universe exists on. My layman's understanding is that objects with mass "curve" or "bend" spacetime around them and this is actually how gravity effects objects. An object moving along a straight path (from it's perspective if on a small enough scale) which is actually following a curved path of spacetime will move in a curved path.
Who knows? Are we in a bubble floating in a higher dimensional sea of different bubbles? Is it nothing, like a balloon expanding in the vacuum of space?
My understanding is that quantum physics is the study of the incredibly small, and general and special relativity are the study of everything else. They don't overlap (rules for big don't work for small, and vice versa) and are two separate understandings. Which is why the, hopefully, next big thing will be a unifying theory that applies to everything. I believe Stephen Hawking was a well known scientist working on finding a universal theory.
Which doesn't really answer your question, but it's a question far surpassing my knowledge. I think quantum mechanics just doesn't interact with spacetime, or at least not in a meaningful way (mass of an electron is so incredibly small it isn't perceptively effected by spacetime curves).
I would be happy for someone with more knowledge to come and prove me wrong though, these are fascinating fields.
Well, I am pleasantly proven wrong, thanks! Yes, I was thinking of general relativity, you are correct.
These oscillations would be different particles (electrons, protons)
Are you saying that the particles are oscillating in reaction to your hand bouncing the mesh, like a handful of marbles on a bed bouncing around? What constitutes a "hand push" in the real world? A high energy collision like at the LHC? Or day to day interactions between objects?
This is very fascinating, although I can't help but see a similarity between the two canvases. Is that just because they are both so complex that we need simple analogies to try and wrap our heads around the concepts?
