Unramified extension of number fields

Any finite field extension (in particular Galois extension) of $\mathbb{Q}$ is ramified. Is there an intuitive geometric explanation of this fact? Suppose we have an number field $K$, is any Galois e …

Automorphism group of $\mathbf{C}$ over $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}$

Choose an embedding $\overline{\mathbf{Q}}\rightarrow \mathbf{C}$ from an algebraic closure of the field of rationals to the field of complex numbers. Question 1: Is it true that $\mathbf{C}$ is isom …
