No way, id be asking them round for dinner, just hope its not me their they're (what a fool I make of myself because of my grammar) eating lol. Paul I wouldn't, From the last 100 years of radio signals streaming out into space, they may have a preconception of you. :wink: But what you said was inte...

Time for a clue guys? The clue is in the title.

Take the simple process of measuring a photon's spin. Thanks to the strange nature of the quantum world, it can actually be spinning in two directions at once, a phenomenon known as superposition. I don,t think that I will ever understand quantum theory. I am probably to old to get to grips with it...

I've sometimes compared atoms to bells. A bell has a characteristic set of frequencies, and will resonate if hit with sound of a frequency close to one of its own. A loud crash will make a bell hum a little, at its own pitch. So the sun hits the atmosphere with a big loud chord of WHITE! and oxygen...

Interesting, No scratch that. Fascinating. The whole Universe is a giant hologram. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holography So just for the purpose of trying to get my head around this, and for others. I need to pose a few questions that may or may not relate to the above. Here goes: Since 3d virtual...

Very entertaining neufer. I prefers a spider with four wheels myself How folks can let them crawl all over them beats me. Makes me shiver, and my skin crawls just looking.

Paul.

Incorrect. Have another look.

So you like spiders Huh? I dislike spiders, fortunately, we have no dangerous one's that can really hurt you, In the UK :D . However I still do not like them crawly crawly things walking all over me while I sleep, crawling into my mouth, and all over my house. Last year A college of mine told me abo...

When should we tell him, that the whole universe was at some stage smaller than a Atom? and that space-time and everything seems to come from nothing?

Is the sun getting bigger right now?

Hey wounder boy, (Paul), if you Ever want to run something by me. Bounce something off me. My door is open.
Lets face it, you could drive to the other end of the M6 before you find a friendly face.

Thanks for the effort bystander, but those two referrences were just as useless as my Webster's college dictionary. According to my Webster's, the definition of both inflation and expansion is simply -- getting bigger. It uses each one to describe the other. According to the referrence that you gav...

There are a lot of theories, here's another: http://www.physorg.com/news150097682.html But the ice ages are well understood. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/04/100406133707.htm In that, they are regular. and they blame a difference in our orbit, and precession.

Interesting topic, Gravity.

Here's a thought. You would think: A billion gallons of cold water, is effected by gravity, differently than a billion gallons of boiling hot steam. Why? You would think from this difference, gravity was easy to work out Huh? No cigar.

I read recently that a change in the radius of Jupiter's orbit has been measured over a period of time. And this radius increase cannot be justified by the calculated loss of the Sun's mass. Quote ''The elliptical orbit of Jupiter is inclined 1.31° compared to the Earth. Because of an eccentricity ...

If at some point, all the universe was smaller than a nucleus, I would say, the elusive mass particle, could be as small as the universe is big.

And that's what we are reduced to when it comes to pondering the question of extraterrestrial life - believing, thinking, guessing. Proving the existence of extraterrestrial life might well be hard, if that life doesn't look like we expect life to look, and if it exists in places where we have a ha...

How can there be a time, that was hotter than now. with no power stations or petrol engines or methane from billions of animals. In the past, the hottest periods were a duel between a hotter sun and volcanic activity. So its going to get very hot again. but how hot is it going to be, when you put hu...

Dark energy = dark matter squared, is that what you are proposing? What many are assuming to be DE and DM may just be the force created by whatever is holding our entire universe together. If you can compare our universe to a Black Hole, which exerts a certain force due to gravity, as visible energ...

There is almost no recorded history from that long ago. Floods are normal and happen all the time. Likewise for droughts. And there are loads of mythological tales that almost certainly have little or no connection with reality. An anecdotal ancient reference to the Sun going out could be an eclips...

But the secondhand quote about the Sun was from a reputable source (which is really the source that should have been used, not the pseudoscience site). I don't understand. Which source? The information is so hard to find with so little time. I suppose its best from my own memory. Witnesses from 350...
