jessicafischerqueen: <Ohio> lol and the inevitable "defund the police" thrown in there towards the end, almost as if it's so "de rigeur" that he almost forgot to mention it. Interestingly, the informal "street bosses" who step up to occupy the positions of defunded police street ...

jessicafischerqueen: <OhioMissScarlettFan> I agree with your sentiment here: <OhioChessFan: <Missy> I appreciate your measured tone throughout this. And I agree a very high % of the time with what you're saying. Really, you're mostly saying what I am already thinking.>

jessicafischerqueen: Your over there regimen sounds salubrious! Interestingly, in Canada we save time by spelling "music and poker" as "moker." Initially we spelled it "poomus" but that sounded a little too declasse, even for us...

Mar-21-09		Thorski: <jess> Heh, I was quoting a certain Dr. Lecter. Glad to see you're awake. Which time zone are you in? A friend and I had a long conversation on decimal time and the abolishment of time zones yesterday. There's much room for improvement. The gold donkey? Any relation to golden calves?

Mar-21-09		jessicafischerqueen: <Thor on a vacation in Vail, Colorado in his spare time> Well I'm ashamed to miss the <Lecter> reference as I've seen <Silence of the Squabs> at least a dozen times. But you know I"m just half way through <Sling Blade> at the moment and I reckon it's one of the best films I've ever seen. So good, it makes you realize how very, very, bad 99 percent of other films are. <Billy Bob Thornton> and music by <Daniel Lanois>, who is Canadian like me. Outstanding acting, screenplay, and directing. <Some folk calls it a Kaiser blade, but I call it a sling blade...> I'm in I don't even know the name of my time zone. Re- <decimal time>- I was just listening to a fascinating lecture by <Paul Dirac> about numbers that don't depend on units to express them. Ratios- and he was noting some amazing correspondences between ratios between subatomic events and the ratios between cosmological events, and their relation to the age of the universe. Apparently, if these <unit-independent numbers> are truly related one to the other, it means that gravity <G> cannot be a constant, because according to mathematical law the <G> would then have to vary. Which means that the theory of General Relativity would have to be amended. Although he was careful to say that you couldn't tinker too much with the <GR> because it was too successful, historically, in predicting actual physical events. He was talking about how it would be necessary to verify the possibility that <G> might not be a contant through the precise observation and measurement of physical events- and how difficult that would be to accomplish. But the underlying gist was that there may be some deceptively simple mathematical "truth" about physical laws that might mean there could indeed be some truth to a <unified field theory>. Which is pretty amazing if you think about it. Also, I found that <Dr. Dirac> had an extremely soothing and gentle voice. Theory The ory The oro The Gold The Golden Donkey was my train of thought. Possibly, you may simply have assumed I was insane in a random fashion. Not so! Ok I will try to give you some <space-time coordinates>-- I am posting this message at a time that is <11 hours airplane flying time from VAncouver BC>, but whether those hours go "backwards" or "forwards" I couldn't say. It's either already yesterday or already tomorrow here. And there is a <7-11 Convenience Store> within 500 meters of my present location. If you can deduce my location and the "decimal time" it is here .... RIGHT NOW I will truly be impressed. Especially since you don't know the exact time I'm typing this. Mrs. Loves to watch Physics and Maths Documentaries, but is hampered by a virutally Total Ignorance of the Simplest Maths.

Mar-21-09		Thorski: <Jess> Well, in your defence I may not have quoted the movie verbatim. The line was from the book, and could have been altered slightly for the adaption. For an author of thrillers, Thomas Harris writes very well. If you enjoy the Lecter films, you should definitely read the books. They're well-researched and highly engaging. <deduce my location and the "decimal time" it is here .... RIGHT NOW > I'm not sure when "RIGHT NOW" was. Could have been any time the last three and a half hours. Hmm... Given the information you've provided, I think you are in Taiwan, most likely Taipei; though you normally reside in Vancouver, right? I'll hazard a guess of 9:25 PM for the time when you wrote the post, or 8.92 in decimal time. ... I could also be way off. =) Re. Dirac: Eugene Wigner once referred to Feynman as "a second Dirac; only this time human." I've never heard Dirac speak. I'll go look for a clip.

Mar-21-09		Thorski: <unit-independent numbers> They're technically called <dimensionless>. The radian is a good everyday example of a dimensionless unit. I think the ratios you're referring to are part of what's called the Dirac Large Numbers Hypothesis. A weird piece of cosmology, to be sure, but it is a tantalizing pointer toward a possible quantum theory of gravity - though it would mean I wasted an evening a few years back measuring G experimentally when I first took mechanical physics. =)

Mar-21-09		Woody Wood Pusher: Hey <JFQ>! Sorry I haven't been around recently, I have been completely absorbed with taking hints from <mal> on blindfold chess. I see your forum is slowly becoming THE place for science minded kibitzers! I have always had a coffee-house interest in this unified field theory as well. There are so many crazy consequences of quantum physics I never cease to be entertained and I have read quite a few casual books on the topic. I think Einstein said that 'If you aren't scared by Quantum Physics, you don't understand it'. lol A good one if you can still pick it up is 'The Elegant Universe by Brian Green', highly recommended. Although maybe String Theory is not as high profile as it once was? I'm not sure, I kind of lost touch with it, but a few years ago it was all the rage! haha

Mar-21-09		Boomie: <Jessie: Dr. of Physiques> Little did I know when I sprung those Fine Man clips on you that I was creating a Munster. Dr. Woodway's suggested reading, The Elephant Universe, is a fine work. However it is about string theory which is not exactly science yet. Unless they stumble on something at Cern when they crank up that monster, strings will remain a philosophy. If you can't observe and test, it's not science. The Fine Man's physics lectures are classics and I would recommend them to anyone interested in learning more about physics. He's the only Nobelist I know who loved teaching. Perhaps you can pick up a few ideas from his approach.

Mar-21-09		Travis Bickle: My Queen Jessica I put together a special Beatles special on my forum I hope M'Lady Her Majesty will have a look and listen. ; P

Mar-21-09		blacksburg: hee hee you guys are nerds. :) i once tried to explain <time dilation> to a girlfriend. that was a bad decision.

Mar-22-09		jessicafischerqueen: <NERD TRIVIA QUESTION> Two buns to the winner NO GOOGLING OR READING IT IN A BOOK! Ok when <Anders Celsius> created his famous temperature scale-- according to him, water boiled at <how many degrees>?

Mar-22-09		Boomie: I believe that was six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon. Gimme buns now.

Mar-22-09		Boomie: BTW - In part to counter the flood of musical U-Tubes here, I have opened an art gallery. Come to the gala opening at Galleria Boomius. Only the chic are invited. And the chick.

Mar-22-09		Eyal: Zero, naturally. Speaking of temperatures, which one is the same on both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales?

Mar-22-09		jessicafischerqueen: <N'Swaba> yes THAT IS CORRECT! But to get the buns, you must answer these questions three... Well Ok one more. Who, exactly, switched the numbers to the way they are now on the <celsius scale>- AND BY WHAT AUTHORITY??? Well Ok that was two quesions. How did you guess <N'Swaba>? Did you "deduce" it, figuring that the right answer obviously couldn't be right- or did you already know the answer?

Mar-22-09		jessicafischerqueen: The answer is 55 above zero. That is the reason that US Federal highways have a speed limit of 55, as well.

Mar-22-09		Boomie: <jessicafischerqueen: The answer is 55 above zero.> Nah. It's Fahrenheit 451...or the South 40. I hear it's mighty cold there.

Mar-22-09		jessicafischerqueen: That's incorrect, I'm afraid. It was <Ray Bradbury> who first discovered that books don't burn at all well at <Absolute zero>, an observation which subsequently led to the discovery of "Donnegan's Folly". I know a lot of science, history, and literature because I watch a lot of television.

Mar-22-09		Eyal: Heh - yes, it's -40. As for Celsius, I remembred it from a book on the lives of famous scientists which I've read ages ago, though actually it's possible to deduce it as well, since the answer is obviously not 100... and according to the same book, if I'm not mistaken, the one who reversed it was that tiresome taxonomist Linnaeus.

Mar-22-09		jessicafischerqueen: THAT'S CORRECT AGAIN <N'Swaba>. You certainly know a lot about the <history of temperature scales> for a <K'ung Bushman>. <Linus> had the authority as he was head of the <Grand Piano Academy> at the time and could get away with it. Later, of course, he exhibited a more whimisical side of his character during his well-loved stint in <Peanuts Comics>.

Mar-22-09		jessicafischerqueen: Also, <Bomba the Jungle Boy> knew the answer to your question, so you have to mail him the buns after I mail them to you. "South 40" was in fact a clever pun. Which I missed, unfortunately. I thought 451 was the answer, which is also, interestingly, the termperature on the <Farragut Scale> at which a human is compelled to say "Damn the Torpedos, full steam ahead."

Mar-22-09		jessicafischerqueen: Also, speaking of how <Woody's> name looks like various animals if you type it differently, did you know that if you type it like this: <wOOd> It makes him look like an owl?

Mar-22-09		Boomie: The learned Woody owl with bifocals: wO^Od

Mar-22-09		Thorski: <jess> So, how wrong was I?

Mar-22-09		Woody Wood Pusher: Is this where I can buy in to the <Don't play smart play big World Series of Poker> main event? Put me down for 50,000 CB's!

Mar-22-09		Woody Wood Pusher: Drawnik reasserting his position as the No.1 fighting chess player in the world. Kramnik vs Anand, 2009 LOL

Mar-22-09		jessicafischerqueen: <wOOd> heh... Although I have to say <GM Banana> is right up there in the "taking a short draw" department. He drives me crazy sometimes.
