Doc, would you for once in your life make an attempt to contribute to the topic.

The quantum flux just triggered a migraine in my head.....How's that fro gravitational pull


juan i did contribute to the thing...ya just don't get me gravity is all....

and it wasn't the first time i renedered a piece of bacon either round here...

awe man....i thought in the cat crappin coffee bean thread you refered to yourself as a woman...man...i was gonna wooo you....i love your intellect...
i really do...now ya got all the wrong parts down there...i think their ugly .....

*the crying game song starts to play in background*


Doc screams in pain*****"the humanity" ****

*Takes full javex bleach bath....scrubs out mouth from licking the monitor...**** I loved her words ..they were beautiful...i licked them to be close to her.....* sniffles*

Grabs Glenlivet....drowns sorrows...

I don't remember cat crappin' in the coffee bean thread... oh well. I do try to maintain a fairly healthy balance of female/male references to hypotheticals though.

Gravity is a combination of the three fundamental forces. It is a weak force because it is a production of the three forces or a force of electromagnetics. Gravity is sometimes sought as the force pulling into the center. It have no weight, yet it have a power people all can feel. A more definition is set in the nuclear sector, which is not explained deeply yet. Tommorrow is the huge change in 7-ways-to-save-world. Please browse through the board.

the coffe thread where the beans that are fished outta cat poo...very expensive and all....

Anywho..i'm bummed ...i had this vision of you as this real prim and proper lady wearing your finest with cool glasses on...typing all this stuff that i don't understand...i would have done anything for you Niflmir....the thought of you loving me for what i am...sitting in cafes sipping coffee and you going on about the universe and gravity ...it would have been sooo cool.....and all the while you just want to love me....man it would be grand...I never get to get out with real brainy chicks....sigh....

are you positive yer not female? I mean are really really sure?

sigh

sorry for my glibness, but the fact is that the paragraph you types makes no sense whatsoever. I can't argue against it because I can't find any sense in its construction. Grammatically, it's so messed up that even if it DID contain any facts, their meaning is totally lost.

The first sentence suggests to me that the rest of the paragraph is wrong. Gravity ISN'T considered a force, although it can be described as one for simplicity's sake. it certainly isn't a combination of three forces.

Where do you get this stuff?

LOL, I think he just needs another monkey or two and more typewriters. Definitley not operating with an infinite number of monkeys on typewriters.;-)

Hey Doc. That is what's known as a gravity storm. :lol:

Well i'm still hoping Niflmir is a chick...maybe if a look real close in the mirror and sees no stuff hanging there in the crotch area and lots of stuff hanging there in the chest area......actually i saw a chick once with long flappy things flopping down there in the fan wind....and 2 walnuts for breasts...so maybe Niflmir is having a hard time.......

no worries mate....i'll be here when ya tell me....

your love doc
throbbingly waiting for you

Ah, you should watch the Kinsey report DocDred. :) Or maybe read it, come to terms with your budding fascination with guys, albeit with long hair, but guys nonetheless.


Anyways, I reiterate what I said about gravity, shortest path around a large hill and all. If you have any specific questions I could try to tackle them too.

hey it was a great opportunity to tell ya that i do enjoy your mind Niflmir..I and others notice your keen mind and your ability to never insult anyone....it's a pleasure that you are here man.....really and truly.....o and thats it for the gag....promise....


what if the hill is like really not that tall but really really fat.....Same diff i would suppose...now that i think about it...

I play along with gags by acting like the person is completely serious. Now I am crushed that you weren't really in love with me at all. :(

It really depends on the specific shape of the hill. You can make a metric tensor out of a parameterized surface quite easily, and then you can extract the geodesics out of the metric, but that doesn't mean you will have a physical spacetime.

yeah i love ya in a manly sort of way...i do adore your mind though...
as per what ya just said....out of me depth ...totally...


hmmm so like if i take the US pavilion at expo 67 and lay all the geodiscks on the groun i could then walk staraight across em and time meself.....
not allowing for physical exertion going uphill would put a hair in the recipe though....

Of course, if you get a hold of Goedel's (o should have an umlaut, so I put oe) secret recipe, you can continue on your merry way through time and become your own grandfather. Not in our universe though. :)

So most of the posters seem to agree gravity is not a force but rather the result from spacetime curvatures...

I heard about a theory concerning gravitons... Anyone know about this? It seems to suggest their would actually exist some massless particles that are responsible for gravity... What does that have to do with spacetime curvatures?

Does anyone really know what gravity is?

Geez that's almost addicting... but it does help me understand gravity...

Wow, that really is addictive.

By the way, what is the goal of that game? It's fun to try to get a few of them in orbit around the middle one, and then smash into eachother.

I don't think there's any goal apart from doing godly experiments...

If you play around with the parameters you can really get some weird cosmic dancing going... Makes you wonder what kind of weird cosmic choreographies are going on out there...
