OK Ta. Nothing ever is, is it?

Thank you. Yes, we are not immune to democratic expressions of mass stupidity.

No, it's an analogy. Here's a PDF link . You've referred to it before, it's illuminating.

For myself, I liken modelling reality to trying to describe an object in a black bag with holes in for your hands as the only means of extracting information about it. From that you build a model which is necessarily incomplete.

Newton didn't invent calculus but developed it? I read he invented it.

Oh no!... please... the despair deepens. Right now, all the upbeat feelings I've experienced this week has gone down the toilet. A 4 pack of Special brew is looking very inviting... I knew I shouldn't have trodden on that mirror the other day...

I disagree. He is the strongest, most consistent and most intimate with the mechanics of this situation to steer it to the least damaging scenario.

If the debt is to foreign agencies then and sterling goes down then, I presume, our debt goes up.

Cameron's resigning.

Indeed. I hope, beyond hope, that this just a longer path to a better Europe and we'll still be part of it.

This is it, as you you know, the parameter numbers or measurements are as close to 'touching' reality as we are going to get.

Me too. I'm as upset as when we joined the Common Market in '71 and I was only 9. I know, work that one out. The trouble is, we are too integrated now and mutually reliant globally as well in Europe. We are not just a bit player.

I know what you you mean but Markus's example illustrates what's happening between transferring the numbers into a pictorial representation, which is happening the same when you represent the spacetime plot values as a picture.in terms of curvature distribution. It's just that we can actually see the physical terrain of land to understand his comparison with spacetime curvature.. Ordnance Survey maps are not photographs of the terrain but abstract representations of it; just like spacetime maps. Edit: removed misplaced word.

It's totally the wrong decision.

Very nice and lucid description, thanks Markus. +1

Avoid stress, be still in mind and body, walk briskly, sleep well.

Interesting description, I never noticed those element's. TBH this is the first time I've seen the whole picture; I've seen cropped images focusing on the jumper, hence, my narrower view of the intent. It depends on the work. It can clearly be done for the above picture.

The actual song Enigma's Return To Innocence was taken from. It's actually a Taiwanese traditional song and not N. American Indian as suggested in Enigma's video..: Enigma's Version:

What utter bollocks. Are you trying to show us what a random stream of consciousness looks. I think we've seen enough examples from you.

Yes, pathetic. They are as bad a jihadists in their blind devotion to not giving a F-.

If that pulls your quarry go for it. More fool them for being so materialistic and shallow.

Hate, like romantic love, is blind to reality; we see what we want to see and not what is actually there.
