However, knowledge acquired on the situation now may well not apply to you, or anyone, in 8 years time.

Sorry dearest, most of the mathematics we get here tends to be a little off and I only subjected it to a cursory glance because of that.

Go go gadget 'because it makes sense that way, sort of, even if it might not work with some other stuff we've got' ideas* *or the thermodynamical arrow of time if you prefer

I take all my physics from Iain M Banks

You're not able to even think about starting one for 8 years, why are you asking NOW?

Go away and learn maths again.

The Elegant Universe, by Brian Greene (if memory serves)

PDEs are easy. And I recall that noone responded to my comment about him getting a PhD of 'getting a degree first'.

Well done, you've defined up to be 'up'.

Not so much let. It's required reading for the Natural Sciences I'll have you know.

I'm sorry to have to resort to this, but until someone can come along who is bothered to explain the biology, Whut?

It's probably trafalgar square, but I can't be bothered to prove it.

I do indeed.

Socks.

More! Lunch break or no lunch break!

I meant the 'things on television are broken up into lots of little tiny pieces and sent through the air' etc.

Because that's the name that english has given them. (Ps. Those answers aren't as accurate as mine. Personally, in an interview I would have stood up and said 'So I'm in the desert, standing, say, like this?' when they reply yes I stick a finger up and say 'That direction'.)

The opposite direction to which the sand falls from suspension assuming the air is still. (We are of course ignoring the philosophical ramifications of the lack of water, ie. there can be no human life there, and as up is a direction defined by humanity, and not inherent to the universe like left and right, can up be defined without a conscious presence?) [edit] Any more interesting ones?

They're working on the 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' model of teleportation.

And destroying the original, thus is effectively the same as teleportation.

You're not getting this whole 'morality' thing are you?

It's not a part of mathematics, it's an examination on all of the mathematics that you should have encountered. It's not particularly difficult. However, you also have to get through the interview

Mathematics. ps. No they didn't, me talking about superconductors for 10 minutes must have done it for me.

By their moral code, I am. Your point being?

But would you have an argument about it being so? I KNOW ITS A COPY.
