Blxxdy computer's even defragged my humbug!

An x-ray machine, about 1914 in M.E. X-ray your pets!

Geoff

Yes, Neil. That's what C.Northcote Parkinson said.

Geoff

Ah, yes, Martin, but even if considering the stars, planets & galaxies in our concept of 'empty' space, do not forget that even the atoms of so-called 'solid matter' are mostly empty space...

There isn't 'nothing' in space! Very little, it is true, relatively few atoms, lots of massless photons, millions of neutrinos etc., but not nothing.

He's too busy with the IKEA stuff!

That's why I think the following is the definitive proof of the inherent flaw in the Flat Earth theory - if it really WAS flat, the cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now!

Geoff

OTOH, Mr Parkin, we surmise that a body loses energy if it goes from one layer to the next nearer the centre, and absorbs energy if it jumps from one layer to the next higher. This explains why the centre is dark and the outside is light. Or is that an atom?

Anyway, everything is in hyperspace, because they exist in time, thus in four dimensions. We see them as they were, not as they are 'now'.

Geoff

1) It isn't expanding into nothing. Like builders expanding aerosol foam, it's overflowing from a parallel universe

2) Before all 'what' started?

3) It's reindeer because its too warm to snow.

Many years ago I went to an open day at R-R Barnoldswick. At the time they had begun making RB211 front fan blades from Titanium, but they weren't letting on how they did it, beyond saying it involved heat and pressure. Nowadays, living in Sheffield, still the centre of the 'special steels' industry, I gather that many alloys, not just steel, now exist that simply did not, even 20 years ago.

I've just bought a Chinese tool costing £10, using MGMN200G inserts. I considered Greenwood, etc., but £70 is a lot to pay if it doesn't work. Even the competition at £30 is quite dear.

Frank Whittle's design dates from 1928, but didn't fly until 1940. Von Ohain's design came later, but flew in 1936.

Several natural products re poisonous, Deadly Nightshade, several types of mushrooms, apricot stones, etc. Ethylene glycol metabolises to oxalic acid in the liver, and kidney stones are mostly oxalic acid. Aspartame (sweetener) metabolises to methanol in the liver, as do many other chemicals. That is the liver doing its job.

Oxalic acid is very poisonous.

In the 1950/60s there was a suggestion to place into orbit millions of fine copper needles that would spread out and form a reflecting layer for radio signals. Good job that didn't happen. Now here we are again.

Edit. Oh, they did! Project West Ford. The needles did mostly disperse and fall back to Earth & burn up.

After trying to deliver my parcel to a neighbour and being rejected, Hermes promptly lost it. Parcelforce meanwhile phoned me three times last week (starting at 7am!) to inform me of a delivery. Sounds promising.

Geoff

Yes Neil,

That is he. We had Blaster Bates, they had Mr Pujol. 'Tis true.

Geoff

Maybe not, but if you search online for 'le petomain' you should find a safeblowing blog by an ex-peterman...
