  1. That higher being really can be a bit of a cunt though, can't He?
  2. Sound getting louder depends on the amplitude. For light to change colour it's the frequency (or wavelength) which changes.
  3. I stand corrected, good point, well made! It is however affected by gravity...
  4. I don't believe in Karma as something that really exists, but I do think that things will tend to work out for the best if you're a good person. There are obviously bad things that happen to good people and good things that happen to bad people but overall it comes down to how you treat others and how you are perceived. Apart from the odd minor hiccup, everything in my life has gone pretty frickin' well so far and I put it down to being a generally nice guy who was brought up well, worked hard at school and wouldn't hurt a fly (though spiders I will happily murder). There have been some things where I've been lucky, other things that by coincidence have just worked out well but I don't put it down to the God of Karma rewarding me for being nice to people.
  5. No way! My gran has some just like that! In light transparent pink of course but... I really dislike wearing glasses so wear my contacts as much as possible, though that may be due to the fact I'm virtually blind without them: -9.75 prescription anyone?!!
  6. Your grasp of the language begs to differ, Mr Anscombe!
  7. It's important to realise that waves, whether radio waves through air or water waves in the sea, do not involve a stream of particles travelling along the path of the wave, rather the particles through which the wave passes move within a limited region with a defined energy and frequency to produce the result which we can see/measure. Obviously where the sea is concerned there is underlying currents which do involved particle transport, but this is different to what causes waves to travel along the surface. Light is just special... It can be treated as both s particle and wave under different circumstances.
  8. Quantum physics jokes: by far the quickest way to kill a thread... Edit: Actually, talking of quantum physics, how frickin' cool is this?
  9. Gravity is not something that exists like a substance, it is a force which is exerted on everything with mass in the Universe. Following from that yes, the total mass in the Universe is constant but if the Universe were made up from many similarly sized objects and nothing else then your theory would hold (probably) but the point is that things collide, masses join and supermassive stars collapse creating black holes. These black holes (which have effectively infinite mass at their centre I believe) therefore attract everything in the area towards them and 'swallows' it up. I guess in the case of two black holes, the larger one will win... RE: Neutrino>Usain Bolt: It's the way the experiment is carried out which doesn't stand up for me though. I'm quite happy to accept that something may be able to go faster than light, hell why not? However, this experiment relies on CERN being able to tell exactly when an individual neutrino leaves their collider in order to determine when it arrives in Italy, correct to billionths of a second. They aren't even measuring the same particles but are using some convoluted probability to determine what they're measuring. I think in this instance no one will ever be sure.
  10. So does the fact that the Universe is actually still expanding at an increasing rate mean that the timescale for this is simply beyond our concept of time? I can envisage an infinite number of individual Universes existing outside our own, each existing independently and unaware of each other (i.e. not parallel as such). As another point of discussion, the potential of neutrino's to go faster than light? I call bullshit (well, I call limitations of experimental equipment/experimental error/unclear beginning of the neutrino's journey from CERN).
  11. Edit: I should learn to read gooder.
  12. Yeah, Giro's fit my head better but the Fox Flux is way cooler
  13. Yeah they're M6. The other dimension required (assuming pitch is the same) is the length of the screw. If you get something like 25's you can always cut them down slightly if necessary but it depends how much extra you need.
  14. Kings are good but you have to admit they're really rather overpriced. Operationally the King offers nothing that a £25 FSA headset offers from my experience. I have run a CK in the past (part of an insurance claim) and it was fine but I'd never buy one with my own hard earned!
  15. That is a bit on the 'special' side!
  16. Sorry, I'm just kidding. I'd pick up a CS screw just for the aesthetics but there's no problem with running a normal socket head.
  17. I don't know how you sleep at night, I really don't. Edit:
  18. Oh the Irony! Andy, can you not see that this is precisely what you do? Act an idiot? check. Make random, crap posts which add nothing to the discussion and make you look like a tool? Check. Act incredibly immature and coming across like a retard? Check. That's three for three. I suggest you stop this.
  19. Why do you spend more time acting like a retarded, spoilt shit of of a ten year old than a 20 year old student? Answer that one for me ehh?
  20. Really? You'd think he'd at least have a Paypal payment system set up or something. Sounds dodgy as fook!
  21. Even Dan Ko, who seemed not to give two shits what his service was like, made sure that he had all his own photos of products and ran the official things like the site 'properly'. Just saying...
