Good luck - I could do with stopping too - no will power for that I'm afraid.
Good luck again.

All, In general - if anyone has problems getting on the board - I can get it addressed easier if theres an error message that you get on your PC, which if you send it to me I can post on to the host and make enquiries. If you get "server not found" or "website not available" or anything like that specifically - if you post it on to me I can be more accurate when I gripe at the host All seems smooth from here at the mo! Andy

It slows down from time to time, thats beyond my control still.
However theres only one time that I am aware of that the forum actually went offline - I went to the forum for support of this forum software and they had it back up in about 3 hours. Not bad going.
What are you getting message wise rosebudMN? Is there an error being reported at all when the forum appears down?
LMK and I can check it over.

Interesting. Tonight, I watched a program about "rogue waves" trashing cargo ships in the south atlantic. The program looked at the frequency of these waves, and used orbiting technology to map the events. There are more 30m waves breaking in the south atlantic than we thought there were. It was a good program, it described how cargo ships are designed to take in 15 tonnes per square metre - and can realistically accept the grace of 30 tonnes per square metre with a dent or two. However a 30m wave provides the energy to impart a 100+ tonne per square metre whack - which holes the ship - even front on - and invariably sinks it. The most interesting thing about the program for me, was that it took a Quantum physicist to demonstrate that a given wave can occasionally glean energy from a neighbouring wave and in itself gain height and eventually break. What was more interesting, was that an observer of the VERY VERY SMALL, needed the observations of the relatively large (in earthbound sea waves of course) to determine that this transfer of energy was taking place. In actual fact - if that Quantum physicist were actually an intellectual being, he would have realised this transference occurs in waves of a very smaller measurement. Therefore to plot his fancy graphs (which are indeed real) - he would not have had to wait for a wave of 30m, instead he could show the same effect in a wave tank with samples of risis and cross wave energy absorbsion at 1mm - or a micron - or at atomic level - whatever. His quotations of the Schrodinger equations were either a) Not relevant b) Were relevant but I dont understand them quite. To go back to your post though Maz, you see the wave is as large as it is small. Andy.

Cheers all Havent (quite) decided on the finish yet - the second table top is going to get the full treatment as ive cut all the wood and will coat it before building the table, thats what I would have done with both given the time. The thing is - will staining then covering that with a varnish / 1/2 tung oil/1/2 MinWax clear gloss polyurethane stop all seepage over time? When ive just varnished pine in the past, it tends to get a whiteish coloured substance coming through beneath the varnish after a few months - particularily in winter. Hey - the robbins - maybe there the UK version of a redneck??

In the redneck post (I think I know or have an idea about the meaning of that now - cheers) someone said pics. Ok - heres the tree - with two robins on top (as one gets a bit lonely up there!) And at the mo - I'm just making a couple of bird tables for xmas presents, thats the current project. All 45 degrees - nothing too clever as Im short on time as per usual - but they stand about 7 ft tall so the birds have a bit of time to get away from cats. And the messy garage - believe it or not - this was absolultely spotless the other day - got some serious tidying up to do when Im finished. Now then - I must think about sands's latest cab - thats a really tricky one. Laters all. Andy

Just drizzle rain at the moment.

"Will we look back in 50 or 100 years and feel slightly foolish that we were so adamant about our assertions when we discover the thinking or processes that led to them was clearly faulty?"
In all probability - yes - we may well change our minds about a few things which we consider fundamental at the moment.

Somedays it annoys me that I dont know enough about the universe - other days (99%) I just go about whatever Im doing - like rocks, computers or a bit of woodwork practice. On those days when I start thinking I never find what Im looking for anyways - so I end up blaming people like Einstein - who is only a plonker when I cant understand something. (Although I do have one or two theories of my own) This post was over a year ago - and Ive moved on a bit since then - I joined a science forum full of boffins - a few of the members are so arrogant im thinking of leaving tho. It is interesting how stuck in their ways they are - and will question very little about their knowledge - is almost as though they think they know everything already!!! Im hoping to get a nice telescope sooner or later - and build a small observatory in my roof - (Lcars has already parted some good advice on that to me). Just saving up the £. I think the answer could be 0. As everything seems to point to that I think ? Maybe?

Ok, Which experiments are the ones which proves space is warped agate? I am prepared to listen (I suppose - grump grump huff) Gravitational Lensing doesnt prove that space is warped BTW - just incase thats what you may be referring to. (Well I dont **think** it does anyroad) Also - anyone any ideas just what it is thats "warping" when "space" gets warped? The warping of space to me would have to mean that Gravity can act upon pure nothingness - unless we are all floating in a jelly (ether) which we cannot see, and that this ether would also have to have mass in order for it to warp. An experiment. Lets say we placed a small section of space in an olympic swimming pool instead of water. Lets assume that the vacuum is present as the pool has been completely sealed. To do this, we take the pool up into space, seal it, then bring it back down to earth. This pool is pool a) We now get another pool - and we fill it with air at the same pressure as the atmosphere at sea level. Just to keep things nice. This pool is pool b), and it is not sealed - as this is how we maintain a given pressure, however there are not many (nothing to worry about) outside influences acting upon the air molecules inside this pool, as both pools are inside a large structure which shields them from the wind. So - inside the big building we have two nice steady pools - pool a) - total space. Pool b) total earth air - with slight variations in pressure due to the weather beginning to change - but this is incidental. We dye all the air molecules bright red. We now instantly create two small black holes which fit into the pools, one black hole in the middle of pool a and one in the middle of pool b. The event horizon on each black hole is 1 meter in diameter - so they easily fit inside the pools - there is no worry there. (Im using black holes because they are dense enough to cause a reaction within a confined space - such as a swimming pool.) What would a person looking at both pools observe - given that we create our black holes instantaneously.

Ok,
I think that Einstein is wrong to conclude that space is warped by gravity, and that our orbit around the star is a result of the **warping** of space.
There is NO warping of space.
Its about time that the sad monkeys who make up and then re-invent and then re-invent and then re-invent and then re-invent and then re-configure the sadder equations which they insist describe the universe woke up to the fact that their very thoughts and silly calculations are part of their own evolution.
They should - if they are so bright - realise that their very thoughts were nothing short of that which **had to be**.
Tomorrow - we will see the so called **bending of space** as the dream it was.
But moreso - and very importantly - that **maths** was also a very sad mistake.
Mathematics is for the scumbags of the Earth, those scumbags tell us that its the "universal language" and that any "intelligent" being would recognise it.
I tell you this - math is for baby planets - if it were so superior - we would be colonizing the galaxy by now. But we arent - so (and) math is bollocks.
No - mankind is sweating it out on this little dustball because all they think on is E=MC2 and math this and math that.
Thats why we are still only here and nowhere else - cos of that stupid nasty man called albert.

Having a laugh over here. I'm just waiting for bbbbblair to get voted back in so he can help all the lesbian and gay foreigners have a house in this country. After all - in the UK - you are welcome if any or more than one of the following is true :- a) Youre gay b) You hate the English people c) You have no intention of working d) You are an "ethnic minority" - if not - we will make you one. e) You are a helper of anyone who hates the English. f) You have no passport g) You know how to trainhop on the chunnel - obvious deviant skills required. Then - once in the UK, these people can fleece taxpayers for billions of pounds and make us half decent people struggle to keep a roof over our heads with our families, and put up with threats of imprisonment from the tax office for missing a 30$ monthly payment. ENGLAND SUCKS. Oh - if we want to leave say to Aussie - we can live in the Outback if we like. I feel a website coming on Mark (Happy really)

Come fairly close? www.journalnow.co.uk/ihome2/detail.asp?storyid=35149&catid=%202&officeid=9A redneck comparison to the UK equivalent.... A redneck over here is A football fan - end of story. He pretends that football is for the "family" and only a "few" spoil the "game" - then he goes out, downs ten pints of lager and smashes glasses in peoples faces. He comes from either "Liverpool" or "Rhyl". If he doesnt come from Rhyl - he holidays there. A good pan of chips comes only by frying in "top quality" LARD. The caravan (trailer) is towed by a burned out Datsun Sunny. I do indeed think theres some common ground guys and gals Mark

I can't believe this threads still going. REDNECKOPLY!!! Absolutely great!! Get a trailer and rent it out Hey at least 1 Dollar for landing on the top quality trailer square? Ive died laughing at the pics on this thread time and again. Reminds me of my own attempts to "sail" down the local canal on a large piece of polystyrene (I was a kid though - and we did make it under the legging tunnel Rednecks - LOL - some girl over their has recently written a song aswell about being a redneck - cant remember her name though. We dont have such a classic type over here - or therefore a term. I think ive said it before - "Deliverence" - three men who want to be Rednecks? Mark

Cookie3rocks. Its ok, all is calm and smooth. Hard to take but true. Trust me its smoooooth - the vandals and idiots have a problem to deal with - he's called God. Keep happy and smiling Cookie - as youre giving me a load of happy over here, and I need that too. One day we will stop retreating. No big rush. Andy.
