As long as they denounce their religion, I'm more than happy to have Muslims here

Besides that.....

What about the Muslims that live here now? - you're telling me the best policy is to scare them and to harass them because of their religion, and that'll encourage integration?

This happened 300 years ago..my local pub is 700 years old.

Think what led tens of thousands to join the Crusades to the Holy Land, and prompted popes of the time to promise that all who died for the cause would go straight to heaven as martyrs. The idea was to get back the once Christian territories that had been lost to the Muslims, and especially to recover the Holy Sepulchre. The Crusaders committed atrocities on the way pretty much comparable to the barbarities of Isis – and when finally they captured Jerusalem, they slaughtered 70,000 Muslims, so that they waded knee-deep in blood, and burned the Jews in their synagogue.

It's a different world?

Obviously you're going to get some people with mental health issues that think it's a great idea, but the vast majority of Muslims in the UK aren't answering the call to Jihad.

 

[Job]

It's not mental health issues, there is widespread support for Isis, Al Jazeera polled 81% support amongst Arab Muslim...a London poll gave 80% support or good feelings about Isis, those figures should really spark emergency actions, practically Marshall law, a organisation we call terrorists has 80% support by people living in our country...just unheard of figures, but it is largely ignored and racist to mention it, on the grounds that most people won't do anything about it and it's probably just muslim armchair fantasy.
Is that idea crumbling...who knows.
Islam wants an Empire again to stop the Christians (us) telling them what to do, invading their land and genociding their people.
It's working allready, Obama won't get involved, just too much shit to deal with let them sort it out and deal with winners.

Got given some nice red wine.

Villa Maria New Zealand Pinot Noir
Marlborough 2012

Very smooth to drink. Hasn't got that bitter acidity thats really unpleasant.

Some wine expert on a forum suggested chilling it down to 13°C. Well its 25° room temperature so I stuck it in the fridge for 3 hours. I know you're not supposed to refrigerate red wine but you're not supposed to fart during mass either. Will definitely buy a few bottles of this. Its very nice.

I hope they've cleaned the pumps out.

What's the name of it? 700yrs is pretty impressive

Scotch Piper..obviously it's been extended and rebuilt, but the original beams are still in the main part with carved graffiti from the last 500 years

We used to have the 'ether' ,then we had 'dark matter' and now they' ve added 'phantom energy'.
Looks like a lot of guessing's going on down at Cern.

 

[Lamp]

I don't know if nature is ready to give up her secrets

1. What is dark matter?

2. What is dark energy?

3. Why does observing a quantum event change the outcome?

4. Why is a vacuum allowed to borrow energy from the future by creating virtual particles?

5. What exactly happens at a black hole singularity?

6. What caused the Big Bang?

7. Why is quantum mechanics so unintuitive? Its as if we weren't meant to understand nature at the smallest scale.

If by guessing you mean The Scientific Method, and if by CERN you mean Astronomers & Astrophysicists you'd be exactly right. But since you don't understand the difference, fail.

That's all they can do.I don't know if nature is ready to give up her secrets ...

Chilling with a beer so I have time to waste answering ...

• What is dark matter? What is dark energy?

Both are the most widely help explanations for a number of observable phenomenon. Respectively the rotation speed of the galaxies would indicate missing matter and the accelerating expansion of the universe. However there's still no scientific proof or consensus on a theory about either.

• Why does observing a quantum event change the outcome?

It doesn't. It defines a single outcome (that's what a measurement of something means, it gives you a single result). Until you open the box the cat is both alive & dead, once opened it's only one or the other.

• Why is a vacuum allowed to borrow energy from the future by creating virtual particles?

Not sure where the "from the future" part came from. It was explained to me back at Uni that virtual particles are created from "borrowed energy" from the background vacuum but then it's returned (particles are annihilated). The more energy borrowed the less time they can exist. Sounds as weird as D.M. & D.E. but unlike those virtual particles & vacuum energy have been experimentally measured and the theory is well understood.

• What exactly happens at a black hole singularity?

No one knows except Matthew Mcconaughey.

• What caused the Big Bang?

Frankly despite all the discussion it's still all speculative.

• Why is quantum mechanics so unintuitive? Its as if we weren't meant to understand nature at the smallest scale.

That's just your feeble human mind talking Just because it's very very different from our everyday experience, QM is actually the most well tested and most accurate scientific theory we have. Pretty much all of modern technology wouldn't exist without an understanding of it.

 

[Zarjazz]

BTW anyone who can 'explain' No. 3 gets the Nobel prize in physics

Actually what you mean to win the prize is not what you asked in No. 3. In physics speak it's "What is the mechanism for the collapse of the wave-function to a classical state". Yeah, if I could answer that one - Nobel via FedEx please.

Pop into Tesco. They're doing 8 or 9 bags for £1.50. I'm getting more today when they open.

Ok, is no one gonna mention the photo....?

Who are the ladies in the photo??

Dunno if it is available in the UK but the whole serie is available on HBO Nordic?

Edit. Just checked HBO UK and it is available for you there. Get the free month offer and binge away

 

[Lamp]

The one on the right is the Mrs. The other two are friends. Photo taken years ago. Can't remember where. Alcohol was involved

 

[Lamp]

According to Amazon, Frazzles are made from electrocuted pigs

Go get some

 

[mooSe_]

I only have eyes for bacon related products. On closer inspection there does seem to be a photo of some ladies too.

Unfortunately they don't sell them in Japan (Frazzles that is)

Friend got hitched yesterday. Reception fun. Drink many. Then more. Way too. Broke thumb base thingy bit by falling on the way home. Things like zipping up are quite difficult without your left thumb

Yes sarcasm is all you offer and anyone with two brain cells that can interact would appreciate that I encapsulated the scientific community related to this discipline under Cern to keep it simple...AND the first step of the scientific process is a guess...look it up.

I went to see the tour peleton go past today. I'll post a pic when I get home, cos my phone can't handle the forum upload thing -.-

I read an article on a mainstream scientific website that was so far out there it blew my mind, can't find it again, but it was based around quantam observation and the fact that 'brains' can randomly appear in the Universe and 'observe' it, and the Universe wouldn't exist without them.

QM is so effing wierd
