I have been baking bread for some 50 years and I never knew it was possible to freeze dough ,thaw it and let it rise. I am going to guess that you are right and am looking forward to replies from others so that I can incorporate this technique into my burgeoning repertoire. To date my best attempt has been to leave yeasted dough overnight in the fridge but the freezer may present an added convenience now that you have alerted me to the possibility.

Yes I met someone who was electrocuted by their own lawnmower. He was working in his bare feet and the cable was pulled out of its socket ,landing in his hand Luckily he was able to pull the live lead from the affected and cramped hand using the other hand but it lasted a long time . Knew someone else electrocuted by their kettle in a similar way.

Is that the North Pole?

If I was a rich man I was sitting down outside the supermarket with my bags and phone and waiting for the bus ,whistling this tune out loud in a very relaxed state. A passer by heard my tune ,turned around and quipped "You wouldn't have to work hard" I stared at him and gave a weak smile ,with no idea what he meant as I had no real idea what I was whistling. Half a minute later I got the joke but he was on his way. It is a good tune to whistle ,fairly energetic .

I wonder how they tricked the convicts into enlisting. Has the supply of convicts dried up bc they now know how they are being used?

Does the inflation model say what is the rate at which distances increase and if so are there parameters that this is based on?

Did the fact that there were no massive particles contribute to the speed of inflation? It seems intuitively like it should..

Can I deduce from (my bolded in your quote) that the maximum speed (of information transfer et al) during the proposed inflationary period would have been c?

Agreed,but I have probably gone well off topic now.

When I said I was nitpicking I didn't say you could nitpick my nit

Yes ,I meant any speed (but the fastest speeds occur in a vacuum and with massless objects) I have also seen it described as the cosmic speed limit and again it seemed to me helpful to also say "in a vacuum" since any other medium would only permit lower speeds. So I was just asking whether the maximum possible speed (neglecting the speed of expansion) also implies a maximum "speed of causality" since causality depends on the transmission of a signal or the transit of a particle or radiation. Hope I am clear?

Am I nitpicking to ask what is the difference between the maximum speed of causality and the maximum speed in a vacuum? Does the latter not imply the former?

To be fair ,I would never consume anything in any of Donald Trump's kitchens.

If you are successful in exposing this gap in our scientific knowledge you will become famous and also be in high demand as a TV cookery guru. I suggest approaching Nigella Lawson or Heston Blumenthal for a spot on one of their shows to begin with. Have you tried humming to dishes with honey in them?The bees are God's imps.

Can I be nosey and ask for an example or two?

I don't know (a bit out of my depth) So is the speed of em radiation a vacuum just a function of the ratio of space to time ? (could it be the other way round?)

Is the configuration of the gravitational field dependent on anything comparable to the electric and magnetic permittivity of the vacuum? Changes in gravitational fields propagate at c ,which is a function of those values so is there any connection there? Does the second of those two phenomena explain the first? Ie does the simple requirement that the field be continuous mean that the field can be modeled as acting on itself?

If we have an object like a black hole standing in more or less isolation how does it work that the spacetime is curved by it at a distance? I understand that it curves spacetime in its immediate vicinity but the effect continues at a distance from the object. Is this perhaps an example of gravitation being itself a source of gravity?

That was quick

Yes I should have written "retrospectively explains" I am in no position to either question or accept the validity of Inflation,of course

To gain the general acceptance which I assumed it had, the Inflation model must have made some (or an) experimentally confirmed prediction(s). Was it the observed homogeneity of today that has made it the leading theory?

So btw the "singularity" and the supposed beginning of Inflation there is a gap of T^-43 seconds that we know nothing of? And we have no idea what might have been going in during Inflation apart from the extreme stretching of distances in a very short time? (viewed from another frame of reference?)

What does the oft repeated T^-43 seconds refer to ? From when Inflation started?(I always thought it was the start of BB) Was ,perhaps the duration of Inflation too short for any processes to occur?

Were there any processes occurring in the Inflation epoque ? If there were ,was there a maximum speed limit different to c? I am guessing that there were no processes we know of and ,if there were the speed limit would have been c. btw ,did the Inflationary period precede the BB or (as I think ) come after it?
