This thread is for the more intelligent, any intelligent thoughts can be posted here by the more intelligent amongst us.
The thread is dedicated to bosley (bos) who only wants the more intelligent thoughts posted here.

Imagination is more important than knowledge; Einstein

Seems to be an latent infantile fascination with genitalia and sex on this thread. It has long been known that the more intelligent think about it more often than their less well endowed counterparts (ooooh err missus).

Keep up the good work.

Two very intelligent monkeys posted on another thread by OneChunkyMonkey.

anyone who IS intelligent should read "The Last 3 Minutes" by Paul Davies.

many books have been written about the first 3 minutes of the universe, but this explores just about every possible scenario for the last 3. it seems a very bleak outlook whatever happens.

there is a very disturbing piece about "positive vacuums". very small chaps that appear (in theory) spontaneously, but contain so much energy that should one appear it would annihilate the universe in less than a trillionth of a second.

and now for the REALLY intelligent bit.

scientists at an american university are actually TRYING TO CREATE one.

you couldnt make it up.

Re "positive vacuums".

a parting shot before bed.

every cubic centimetre of the so called vacuum of space contains a billion billion neutrinos.

Beats counting sheep I s'pose.

I was going to write something here , but iv'e been reading the posts and it's far too intelligent for me, i'll have to go back to the NOWT thread..

jimmy, i agree. superrod spoilt it by actually saying something intelligent!!! back to nowt!

I tried to fine some pictures of INTELLIGENT PEOPLE on yahoo and this is what came up !! Maybe i am intelligent .

Driver, why has you got your eyes shut? What ARE you doing with your right hand?

Bosley, The question has to be : How did you know he could suck his....ermm.... and Did he prove it by demonstration?
Just curious
:-)

plantec, he used to demonstrate his party trick in the music room, churches, classrooms, pretty much anywhere whenever someone wanted to see it.

Superrod
Re vacuums. Presumably a vacuum is only a vacuum if it is empty, devoid of matter (wave-particle duality debate aside), thus a vacuum cannot contain a billion billion neutrinos, can it?

This would violate the uncertainty principle by allowing us to give an exact value for both the speed (zero) and position (also zero) of the vacuum. In order to avoid violation of the principle we must allow for quantum uncertainties and therefore apply a non zero value to these values!!! It has been suggested that a vacuum is actually a seething mass of particles popping into and out of existence very rapidly, by annihalating with their opposite number. This theory has given much credence to superstring theory by suggesting these particles originate in one of the 7 extra dimensions required by string theory.
Phew, I'm glad I got that off my chest!!!

It's not me its bos and jimmy after there get together.

You don't have to be intelligent for this thread, just say a couple of words on the BIG Bang, OK just the one then.

there was nothing. then there was a big bang. a couple of millenia later there was this thread. the circle is complete.

driver, it could well be. i am what is known as a happy drunk.

thanks alan

As Werner Heisenberg was not my favourite physicist (politics included) shall we dispense we all the delta p.delta h and E(psi) = H(psi) + nonsense crap. Eigenfunctions - smeigenfunctions. More likely to be bowel functions! String and superstring theories are more fudges dreamed up by mathematicians justifying their
grants and massaging their egos.
There, rant over

i like string.
