  1. Two priests in a bar Two priests in a bar looking so sad, One asks the bartender how much is his tab, £5M pounds, you've run a large bill, Might buy a safe that won't fit in a till, Priest no.1 asks the other for money, Priest no.2 says no! don't be funny, The sum is too vast, way way way too fantastical, He shouldn't charge priests, it's not ecclesiatical.
  2. Thanks @studiot Whats the maths equation for that please? It might be useful later on. And the error could be or is decay/creation interaction? Just a thought but this almost looks a bit like half a wavelength to me. Is there an opposite bell curve too?
  3. Interesting play on words/idea. @geordief If anyone found my newton reply cheesy, would that make it a mulled whine?. (wine)
  4. Thanks @studiot I think I understand what you mean. Is random radioactive decay a variation? Also, is there common variations & or deviations in all measurements?. Does/do one or more stand out often when calculating an equation?.
  5. Yet under a tree an apple did fall, A genius left to wonder & mull.
  6. That sounds very very confusing. Thanks. It kind of helps.
  7. Bill Nye is clever, one scientist of many, Kaku is too, he's probably made quite a penny, Parallel worlds, strings you say, Hopefully science will learn it one day, Science is awesome, it made you & me, Maybe one day, it might answer the BB, What happened to start with, what happening now, I tilt my hat, you all get a bow.
  8. Is random radiation decay not entropic then? Do you know the pattern that it decays at & knowing so can add that into your equations? I don't mean to sound hung up on radiation decay. I'm interested in the results you get from your measurements. Their accuracy & tolerance I think. Does that mean that most or all errors are accounted for & considered in any equation science makes?. Can you pinpoint every known, known error & then observe the 'true' measurement of things knowing that or does the +/- give you the cushion that caters for the known errors?
  9. Thanks @swansont It seems that eventually a lot of normal distribution comes down to radioactive decay. Fascinating. So radioactive decay seen as both systematic & random errors, is that right?. Is all known matter radioactive, does everything lose heat & what does heat become?. In saying that, would this mean that any measurement of radioactive matter, will always have an random error due to random radioactive decay among possible other things?.
  10. Thanks @exchemist for the wiki link, that was useful. So no matter what, interaction always causes the measurement to be slightly different. If I measured a proton 100 times & they each correctly measured the proton within +/- How many of those correctly measured within +/- are the same as each other? And how many times does that occur within those 100 measurements? If I were to label each measurement of that proton from 1-100 & then group up the measurements that were exactly the same within that 100, could I expect to see something like the following? 1, 3, 96, 98 23, 45, 75, 89 13, 21, 37, 79 11, 17, 19, 24 ... Hope that makes sense. The numbers/symbols are random, I could have chosen any four to illustrate or even letters. It's the grouping/patterns that I'm curious about.
  11. Maybe a week & a half ago I was reading another thread someone mentioned The Big Crunch in the same conversation as pre bb iirc. So I looked it up & found that The Big Freeze & The Big Bounce also exist as hypothetical scenarios for the universe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bounce I was led to write something very similar to this over a year ago. I had not heard of this until someone spoke of the big crunch a week or so ago. You won't see that part of my so called idea anywhere, I only posted the initial part of it which led me on to (amongst other things) something very similar to The Big Bounce. What good is this? Not a lot I guess, I can't write the math & what I do write doesn't make sense sometimes or comes across badly. So maybe I should look for things & ask questions instead & see where that leads. So question then please. When a particle is measured, is the measurement precisely the same when measured nth times?
  12. The poems I post here are ones I make up, I haven't taken them from anywhere. I'll stop if it seems like I'm hogging or spamming this section. Please let me know if I am. On from that, here is another I just finished. @TheVat might appreciate the ending. Blonde It buzzed into life, the virtual pc, As the captain gave orders & yells with great glee, Her team all obey, her wish is their life, Do not mess around with your beautiful wife! For yes, she was married, to the ship & it's crew, Their culture allowed it, they thrived & they grew, And now it was her turn, her turn indeed, As she viewed all the data the screen did her feed. Their ship was an old one, strong, tested & tried, They'd flown it before & yes! no one had died, Trust it they did, with their lives & elation, As their ship readied up to leave the space station. Their ship then undocked & it swayed to & fro, It's couplings they hissed, spat & twanged, then let go, Their mysterious host, a blanket of gas & dust, Their faces entrenched with curious gust. Time traveled with them, helping you might say, For surely without time, would not everything 'decay'?, Sling shots & comets, rogue planets & stars, Velocity slowed as they approached a red Mars. They popped over to Earth, didn't like what they saw, Too many conflicts, way way too much war..., So back out they spin, more light years to roam, A heliosphere to embrace & make home. On the ship was an alien, stood proud & tall, She led by example, a captain trusted by all, Planet X is her home, it's orbit obscene, It's pastures once graced by a forest of green. So now her race venture, traverse far & wide, A future dependant on the crew & their bride, Their ship is quite scarce, not known for being hoarders, The crew stood & listened as their captain gave orders, "Outwards & on through yon stars & beyond", The captains reflection portrayed her as blonde.
  13. A sentence that describes so much. That would make a good signature I think.
  14. The dawn alights with the hope it might bring, A new day, a new start, a chance to improve things, What can we change, what should we do, I can't answer that question for you, But as humans we move, through time & through space, Maybe one day we'll create a better place, Until then I guess, we can all try a bit harder, So try to be nice & polite, not riddled with guarder, Our society seems troubled, fraught with frustration, Perhaps for now, this is merely the gestation, So be nice if you can, be cool & show your gums, Because no matter happens, tomorrow still comes.
  15. A wise person once posted the following to me. Welcome back the ghost of Bishop Berkely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Berkeley It's might be interesting to you.
