You don't get drunk on dandelions.

I thought they were a diuretic.

You could use a gas burner as well but dandelions are barstewards.

Yes.

She's playing Devll's Advocate. It's too easy to play the moral card. There are also prices to be paid for being saintly.

In any thought experiment like this I think one should assume that all clocks are synchronised in the same inertial frame prior to the experiment, or else it would be pointless.

I thought that was dark energy?

'Curvature of spacetime' is really the geometric representation of the energy-density distribution of gravity around and between massive bodies.

The Strange Theory of Light and Matter by Richard Feynman is good... and quite low cost. He has an accessible style. http://www.amazon.co.uk/QED-Strange-Theory-Penguin-Science-x/dp/0140125051

Well, it seems that grapes sweeten as they ripen on the vine but a bunch can receive uneven exposure to sunlight over its surface, so you can get variations in skin texture and sweetness/sourness together at any particular point in time on a bunch. It's not something I've noticed before. http://homeguides.sfgate.com/grapes-less-sour-ripen-72841.html

Yes,I think it's a bit more visual mentally than most electronic music which is mostly dance orientated, invoking visceral feelings more than anything. Will do.

No probs. I think one cannot add anything new to modern physics without first understanding, very well, the mechanics of what is already known. I think one should realise that Einstein's models are not wrong but incomplete because they can't describe things at nanoscale... it falls apart. Any new theory must encompass his theories because they are not wrong, within their domain of validity. One cannot know where things are going until they know where they have been. Thinking up some new paradigm pulled out of the blue, without reference to past models, is pie in the sky.

That was Minkowski. Einstein curved Minkowski spacetime as a description of gravity. He also, basically, said that space and time are plastic and only light speed is fixed.

No.It's the first time I've heard of it. I shall when I'm in chill mode because it seems to suit that state of mind... I am reminded of artists I used to listen to, in that piece, like Enya and Massive Attack.

No link. Here it is... nice:

Cool.

Whether it is very large or very small, I don't it is the scale that's the problem explaining, it is the fundamental nature of these things.There's nothing in our sensory world that we can correlate with them accurately, just resorting to analogies, which can only ever be coarse approximations.

I don't think it can be done. Unfortunately, it appears the price of true enlightenment is to slog through the maths. As Einstein explained once, you can only make certain things so simple.

Most people get very upset and possessive about their ideas as it gets analysed and dismantled with references and evidence. They then go into a it's-me-against-the-establishment mode, hence, the reference to Galileo. Seems to happen a lot with stuff to do with Einstein's ideas. This will likely be moved to speculations because this forum likes to keep established science separate from personal ideas so that it doesn't confuse those who wish to just learn about the established science.

Pleeeeease, don't do a Galileo on us when it gets vaporised.

I forgot about the unpaired electrons. Cheers.

Make a tall cupboard with a hermetically sealed door and construction, apart from a gap, or vent, at the bottom of the door and a vented outlet with a good extractor fan at the top The idea is to have constantly moving stream of normal air passing over the products to keep them dryish and reduce/inhibit absorption because it's too windy. You might have to be careful not to dry the paint out too fast, so a variable speed fan might be the way to go to balance things. I would imagine on humid days the fan would need to be faster than on a dry day. If it works the fan speed could be linked to a humidity sensor to automatically maintain optimum performance.Would this be useful?

What What's happening at the atomic level with the two types? What is it about magnetic materials, atomically, that keeps them that way vs electromagnets?

From what I've read, a lot do get affected in the end. It seems apparent that they do by the fact that many death penalty authorities introduce an element of uncertainty into who actually delivers the coups de grace; 5 bullets and one blank for a six man firing squad, for example, or several buttons to trigger a trapdoor.
