  • How long before this thread gets 'accidently' merged with the conspiracy thread? Hmm?

    nwo.

  • Having been told that the second law of thermodynamics has been repealed I have just shaken my biscuit tin- I can reveal however that the biscuits have (I cannot believe it!) not actually put themselves back in neat stacks.

    There must be some mistake?

  • Depends on the biscuits surely?

    boodoom tish!! now thats what I'm talking about...;D thanks...

  • boodoom tish!! now thats what I'm talking about...;D thanks...

    Biscuits?

    Crackers more like.

  • ah

  • Tynan buys his Vial Of Vitriol from me - is da good stuff, no messin

    Need another couple of litres.

  • I'm sorry I have come to this so late. Ionic winds. Magnetism as gravity. Scientific cover-ups. It's all here. I just watched France thrash Mexico 4-0.

  • It wasn't a crap thread until a couple people decided to lay a big turd of an argument in the middle of it.

    Actually, it's perked up a bit. Reading the last two pages was rather enjoyable. But then, everything else may have been outshone for me by Skully's creative spelling. :)

    pascalo had better watch out.

  • How? It's like this: consider a rapidly rotating wheel. All the parts of it are going round in circles. Newton says that to deviate from straight uniform motion you have to be accelerated by some net force. In this case all the bits of the wheel need to be being pulled towards the middle of the wheel to make them go round in circles. If the wheel is symmetrical, these forces all balance out so when you hold the wheel by its axle, all you feel is its weight. But if you try to rotate the axis of the wheel in a different way from the way it's already spinning you feel a load of extra forces. Say you are holding the axle horizontal in front of you, the wheel is spinning so that the top is moving away from you, and you try to turn the axle to your left: the parts of the wheel are already going round in circles, they can't go round different circles at the same time, so they actually follow more complicated paths. As the axle turns, the bits of the wheel going along the top and bottom have to change direction sideways to remain part of the wheel. The bits going away from you along the top have to be accelerated to the left, and the bits coming towards you on the bottom have to follow curves that bend to the right. The forces to achieve these accelerations might be equal, but they don't line up, so they don't cancel out and you have to supply them (as a twist, bottom right, top left -> left hand down, right hand up) in order to make the wheel's axle rotate to the left.

    This is all very well and nice, Tom, in its long-windedness and all. But what you're really trying to say can be put a good deal more succinctly:

    "DON'T LEAN!"

  • Ha Ha. I'm mostly just using this as an excuse to spout ideas and explanations that i enjoy explaining (because i get a kick from putting together an explanation that makes sense, and an even bigger kick when an explanation doesn't work and so i can improve my understanding by fixing it).

    The explanation doesn't work.

  • ^ Did that give you an even bigger kick? Eh? Eh? ;)

  • "DON'T LEAN!"

    here you go you sly dog;

  • The second law of thermodynamics is wrong...

    This has been founded in 1824, by several scientists for centuries, and despite having 'proof', it's now 'wrong' according to a policewoman on a bicycle forum?

  • This has been founded in 1824, by several scientists for centuries, and despite having 'proof', it's now 'wrong' according to a policewoman on a bicycle forum?

    Yes...it was in 1824, long time ago, it's about time for a change, new information (yes tynan just here...) has suggested and has been proven that you can actually accumulate energy and sometimes it even accumulates of its own accord, and where on earth did you get policewoman from? jesu christos? Me...? no...not a copper?

    Just because a 'law' was written over hundred years ago, doesn't mean that it's right now...the laws of physics have always stood on shaky ground as they talk of absolutes, when talking of absolutes is always foolish, We have just discovered that most of the matter in the universe ceases to exist briefly, and we don't actually know why it does it, where it goes to when it does do it...or whether it goes anywhere anyway...or maybe it just ceases to exist...

    Absolutes...

    no..

    Maybes...

    Yes.

    and despite all the character assassinating bullshit that has been written over the last few pages, I do respect science, I can spell, I do read alot of 'science' and I am an accomplished engineer, I am not some conspiracy theorist (however, I'd like to ask Tynan what he thinks about Weapons of mass destruction, and Illegal wars, and does he consider those to be conspiracy theories?)...However I will not take anyones word for 'it' and don't really care if that gets me called a cunt...several times over...If I am questioning anything...I read about it, I read the other side of the story if there is one, and then I read some more until I am entirely happy with all the results from all the sides.

  • Community Support Officer?

  • so. cake or crumble?

  • pie

  • so. cake or crumble?

    rrrrrrrrreeeppppeed

  • Many theorys of the universe rely on mutiple, if not infinite, realities for the numbers to work.

    On at least one of these realities crumble will be better than cake.

    IT AINT THIS ONE THOUGH.

  • Yes...it was in 1824, long time ago, it's about time for a change, new information has suggested and has been proven that you can actually accumulate energy and sometimes it even accumulates of its own accord,

    And by a similar virtue, buildings that have been standing solidly for a long time are more likely to fall down, and it is about time that we got rid of this stupid design for bicycles, who on earth thought that the two triangle frame idea would be a good one. It's been around far too long.

    And yes, one can accumulate energy:

    I found this example using the link you provided.

    This is beginning to amuse me, rather than rile me. It's fun, you dangerous ignoramus.

  • the most sensible answer would be that ufo's exist.

    I don't think anyone denies that.

  • Ahhhhh good morning people! So nice to see were still carrying on.
