Reply to ELI5: Why does Google offer all these free services like Google Docs, Sheets, Drive, Sites, Forms, etc. without any ads on them? How does Google benefit from this and why do they invest so much in creating and maintaining them? by Elena_Edie

Subsidiaries, the way amazon makes money..! Believe it or not, amazon doesn't make any money, actually they make a loss every year! But they make billions from their subsidiaries.

Reply to comment by _TickleMeElmo_ in Eli5: I don't remember who, but a scientist or skeptic said that if we ever figured out how the universe works, it would destroy and recreate itself. Why would that be though? by Big_carrot_69

I was thinking (after reading the gateaway process project by CIA, the declassified stuff) that maybe, consciousness is the real entity/force that creates everything in a form of a delusion or hologram in an attempt to understand it self. But maybe, every time it does come to an understanding it's not enough and destroys itself.
