Well I Never!

[SocketRocket]

Shows how important it is to use the correct terms!

I had a sub 70 a couple of rounds ago, but that was a gross 78! (do the maths)

Btw. It's a Solar Eclipse that is the more dramatic - when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. That's when that ratio comes into play! Lunar Eclipses are when the Earth's Shadow (about 4 times as large as the diameter of the moon) passes over the (Full) Moon

Yes. I know that.

 

[Foxholer]

From Large to small - and a comparison with 'large'....

If Humans could jump as well as Fleas, they'd be able to jump 90 metres long and almost 50 metres high!

Demonstrating that while Power/Strength is based on the Square of (muscle/bone) size, the effect (or lack) is based on the Cube of it! Explains why Elephants can't jump!

 

[CMAC]

Er...No! It simply shows how insignificant we are relative (there's that word again) to the rest of the Universe!

Simply a speck on the hide of a hippopotamus! Or was that a 'squaw'!

haha are you seriously trying to argue against that :rofl:

 

[CMAC]

WHy would the inability to divide one number by another mean we don't exist? Also, that's a massive assumption re: the infinite universe, I thought nobody knew?

not my assumption buddy, more a regarded and accepted calculation. Nobody really knows though do they.

wont bother with the maths part

 

[Region3]

Well about 400 (actually a little more) times the diameter!

Which means 400 cubed the size(400 times the width * 400 times the height * 400 times the depth)!

*cough* 4/3πr³ *cough*

If anyones got a big enough microwave they can test it on my Mother in Law!

Leave that one with me, I'm already doin a search on industrial sized microwaves.
at the moment you might have to cut her in two.

 

[Tashyboy]

1.3 MILLION miles per hour.

Continuing the comment on the Andromeda Galaxy we are on a collision course with it. Even though the center of each galaxy is crammed full of stars none will collided with each other. Some may get spun out into deep space on their own though.
Both galaxies have a super massive black hole at the center which will spiral towards each other devouring stars and solar systems as they go until they combine to make one, even larger super massive black hole.

Whats the time projection on that one. I cannot speak for everyone but would imagine one or two people would be a bit upset about that happening.

About 4 Billion years!

And a couple of Billion years for the 'collision' to normalise.

Don't cancel your holidays because of it!

never gonna happen- I'll bet on it

I'll take that bet! :rofl:

One day the Sun will bloat-out to become a red giant (can't go supernova as it isn't big enough). The diameter of this new red giant will swallow up the Earth before becoming a white dwarf. Better get the Factor 200000000000000000 sun cream out.

 

[CMAC]

I'll take that bet! :rofl:

we can put 1p into an interest only savings account and the winners family collects the Thousand Quingentillion giving them enough to buy little Comet a new hoverboard:mmm:

Done that then!

Thank the Lord for that, ave just took out a car loan.

 

[Tashyboy]

Joking aside, and you will have to bear with me on this one.

as has already been explained at some time in the future, it's gonna go tits up for Mother Earth, and probably everyone/ thing on it.

its already been explained that if the creation of earth was a twenty four hour clock.
homosapien ruling it is about 5 mins. Yet our ability to fly is equatable to about half a second of that that time (give or take a 10th)

seeing as 150 year ago we glided off a hill and now we can land summat on a rock in space.

whats the chances on man building some thing to get us to another inhabitable planet.

73.6% of statistics are made up on the spot

Money up front!

If it goes into a Swiss Bank account, the -0.75% interest rate would mean it's worthless come payment :rofl:

The Politicians would want to be on the first one!

Let's start a rumour!

The footprints on the moon from the moon landings will be there until the sun engulfs it.

Bringing it all back to earth, quite literally, if you drop a feather and a hammer in a vacuum they hit the ground at the same time.

Also if you fire a bullet from a gun and drop a bullet from the same height at the same time they will both hit the ground at the same time.

 

[Leftie]

Another myth, methinks.

For a start, there is the curvature of the earth to consider and possibly the aerodynamics of a spinning bullet may influence the speed that the bullet falls to earth.

I'll await Foxy's thoughts on this one.

If the gun is fired horizontally to the ground it is true.:thup: Well according to Newton.
