there is a theory that suggests that we follow the normal sequence of all civilisations, all destined to destroy their home planets and die out.
That is also one likely reason why we could not contact any extra terrestrial intelligent lifeforms.
...and technological advancement is likely much rarer and burns out too fast. It's unlikely we'll ever receive a signal from some advanced civilisation, and if we ever survive long enough to, chances are it's long long dead shortly (but not in cosmic terms) after the signal was sent.

I might buy a trampoline - NASA recommended low impact exercise for increasng bone density, used by astronauts before missions.

back in 1994, Miguel Alcubierre showed a mathematical solution how to create a warp bubble. It was rumoured that Nasa was looking into it. It would take humans at least several centuries to develop quantum mechanics theories to the point of creating a warp drive but I think it's possible to create a sub-space receiver before the warp drive.


you can see from the picture above, the solution consists of a negative mass in front of the bubble.

For the first mile I ambled daydreaming, then suddenly realised I could be slow jogging slower than I was ambling... hence only 1 mile was slow jogged today :rolleyes:

I disagree profoundly that the status quo should be encouraged or supported, through the apeasement of credit agencies intent on providing stability to a global system based on invented value of meaningless tokens of exchange, designed to make the rich ever richer... and the peasants have no accessible targets to storm with pitchforks and torches anymore - properly taxing the super rich will take international co-ordination, which clearly will never happen while every country, rich or poor competes to host these continent shifting parasites. No I don't care about our pensions, we'll be gone soon.
We could do what twitter employees did and sink the "company" by turning our backs on it (and it's new narcisstic leader)
In a sense all the inbred brexit boris voters did just that I guess when they shrank our economy (and their benefits, pensions, property portfolios etc) by a third over the past year.

I don't have a clue what and why Elon Musk is doing to twitter and also to Tesla with his salary package. I suppose he needs to stem the losses so he sacks half the workforce and forces the rest to take on twice the workload for the same salary. I doubt he will succeed.

Or the emperor might be less well dressed than the world thought, and staggering out of the green closet?

More and more of my clients have heart problems: a freaking epidemic. However, it's all interesting stuff - was your irregular heartbeat due to a narrowed (now ablated) artery? In that case, what was the burning of nerves in aid of?
Don't think anyone can categorically state what causes AF in individual cases. Yes, certain things swing things in favour of you developing it but nobody will definitevely point finger at cause.. Surgeon suggests it's a combination of extended high heart rate (biking /running in younger days, long distance runners/bikers amazingly are far more likely to develop AF). High blood pressure (a family trait) also increases risk and surprisingly spinal cord damage also increases risk. (I broke my neck, lost use of left arm for a few weeks, years ago)

Second ablation was to complete work started in first. Ablation was actually inside of chamber. Explanation offered.. to eliminate nerves passing on (echoing) pulse. The nerves can echo and recirculate the original signal. Body then sees that as heart beating too fast so slows down, but then signal that does arrive gets recirculated. Result heart fluttering (Atrial) then going super slow. (exactly what mine was doing)
At moment heart perfect. (but it was after first)
And, there is now evidence of a link between migraine and AF.?? No idea how that works but have had post ablation migraine on both occasions.

So Boris Johnson and the 1922 committee do have a use after all.
.
the only known way to have negative mass for the bubble is to create a wave of micro black holes. Inside their event horizon, time and space lines are swapped around. We do that with the LHC at CERN. I suppose BJ is quite capable of creating black holes all by himself.

Liz and Kwarti even better, they turned the economy into a black hole in an instant.

On a more serious note, Rishi and Jeremy will have to get Rees Mogg under control if we are ever to get back to full trading with the EU.

His Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill, if it comes into law, will erect a barrier preventing the EU accepting any trading improvements, indeed it's likely to reduce our trading with the EU still further.

In a sense (ad astra per aspera, and all that) we should thank liz, kwarti, even smog. Their blatant obnoxious stupidity put brexit out if its misery, quickly. Paraded the intellectual, moral vacuume at the heart of it for all to see. Made it (and us) the laughing stock of the world. Imagine the alternative, a boris that haunts our politics like trump for another ten years..

...or the reduction in beef .

there destroying the planet they are :eek: yet know one knows how the moon got where it is does not spin is way to big for our planet to capture it in our gravity and is just the right distance to cover the sun yet science says cows farting destroys the planet.:p

less is more when a big mac meal costs £200 as most cost is in the beef tax ;)


we are all ******

The following is very short and incomplete: The moon was formed a long time after the earth was hit by a very large object. It only looks like it covers the sun at the moment. It's been there so long, it doesn't spin anymore; tidally locked.

Most won't last, so there's no point contacting any civilisation which doesn't now already wholly exist in the superluminal realm, where they wait to welcome us ( :D )

To pave the way for The Orange Faced One - see The Book of Revelations ( :D ), where our future is clearly written about in a friendly, accessible and non-alarmist way. Religion is such utter tripe.

Why? Is it because of beef's high level of saturated fat? I bought kg of diced beef today from Iceland in a 3 for £10 deal...

TF?! And quite fascinating - is this a theory or the result of measurements?
