I think you mean why DID kamikaze pilots wear helmets, as there aren't any kamikaze pilots nowadays. The answer is that pilots in the second world war, including kamikaze pilots, didn't wear helmets anyway. Their headgear was a leather (or canvas) hat which contained their radio mike and the speakers for their radios and the goggles were attached to the hat too. What you're referring to as a helmet didn't offer any kind of protection to the head, so you can be sure that it would have been entirely useless at making a kamikaze mission survivable.

Twice as cold as zero is impossible. Presumably you mean zero degrees celsius, but zero celsius is already close to the coldest possible temperature anyway, making twice as cold as zero a physical impossibility.

The starting point of measuring coldness must be the highest temperature possible, which is currently recognised to be 141,678 billion billion billion degrees celsius. In order to be twice as cold as that the temperature would have to reach minus 141,678 billion billion billion degrees celsius, but absolute coldness is a mere minus 273.15 degrees celsius. The laws of physics say that's as cold as you can get. Simple arithmetic shows that zero degrees celsius is therefore already well over 99.99% as cold as it can be.

The lowest temperature which can fall to 'twice as cold' is approximately 70,839 billion billion billion degrees celsius. Anything less than that and twice as cold is simply impossible.

The speed of dark is the same as the speed of light. For example, if you turn a light out the room in question will become dark as the light departs from it, i.e. darkness arrives in the room as quickly as the light departs from the room, so the speed of the dark is exactly the same as the speed of light.

Because it wouldn't be able to fly. The black box flight recorder is usually made out of steel and it would be impossible for an aircraft made out of that kind of material to ever take off. Aeroplanes are mostly made out of aluminium, a strong but very light metal, and they would never be made out of steel, which is mainly iron.

Because the plastic bottles degrade. It would be different if the water was sold in glass bottles.

OK, we clearly have some people with some scientific knowledge on here so who can explain why water doesn't burn despite being made up of hydrogen (one of the most inflammable substances going), and oxygen (which aids combustion).
