Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / Could There Be Dinosaurs Floating In Space ?
« on: 05/07/2022 18:42:47 »
Dearest Dinosaurologists and the spirit of  Dicky  (quick kwiz, whom am I referring to ?,,,,easy peasy lemon squeezy)




Dinosaurs are my all time favourite animal that lived millions and millions*of years ago !  Out of all the Triassic reptilian animals that existed millions of years ago, Dinosaurs are my No 1 fave.


(* For all the creationists, that's a bigger number than 6000. I know it's difficult because it;s a big number but.....try !!)




Look here's a happy bunch having their day ruined by a cataclysmic event.



A happy bunch of Dinos about to have their day ruined millions of years ago just now. Bona-fide real photo from the time.






So, as a consequence of the extinction event do ewe think it's probable that bits of dinosaurs are floating around us in orbit ?

I’m referring to the impact blast ejecting Dino space bound.



I propose we send some paleontologists up there with a net

Technology / What Question Could You Ask To Determine Sentience Of An AI ?
« on: 28/06/2022 13:47:11 »
Recent news that Google may or may not have a sentient AI


Google's 'sentient AI' likened to a 7-year-old child by engineer | Metro News


so, what question could you ask it to determine if the answer is a sentient one or not ? and what specifics of the answer would determine that ?

Just Chat! / Eyes On Exoplanets Is A Great Site
« on: 15/06/2022 15:11:08 »
Just for those who like to play with Exoplanets. NASA has this great site here Exo Pioneer (nasa.gov) it's quite fun to play around with.

Technology / What Is The Benefit Of Cryogenically Treating Cables ?
« on: 15/06/2022 14:23:52 »
Dearest Coldologists,


As a sheepy I luff my music, in fact I absolutely luff it very muchly. Sad to say but I'm a bit geeky when it comes to Hi Fi components and my interconnects and loudspeaker cables are Deep Cryogenically treated. Now I recall doing blind tests and there was a definite improvement in dynamic and control when using these cables.


Can ewe tell me  what the science is and why treating  audio cables cryogenically makes such an improvement ?  would this method work for cables of any kind for any use ?

General Science / Absolute Zero. How Do We Know It's Temperature If It's Impossible To Reach ?
« on: 15/06/2022 12:44:49 »
Salutations Academians,


As a sheepy I of course know everything there is to know about......being a sheep. Ewe would think and expect this knowledge to include all there is to know about Absolute Zero, I mean, it's obvious isn't it ? Sheep= Absolute Zero knowledge. Blatant !! Surprisingly and astonishingly though I am somewhat lacking in that regard.




Take a look at Kelvin the Fridge/Freezer



Kelvin The Fridge Freezer Just Moments Ago

As ewe can see one of Kelvins USP's is that he can attain the temperature of Absolute Zero ! But Absolute Zero is impossible to attain yes ? Whilst I consider what actions to take can someone please inform me of how is it known the temperature of Absolute zero if that temperature is impossible to reach ?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Does The Gravity Of A Black Hole Travel Faster Than The Speed Of Light ?
« on: 14/06/2022 16:46:06 »

Dearest Blackhologists,

If nothing can go faster than the speed of light in the universe, then  in contrast ,surely the 'gravity' of a black hole must do eh ? Is there an explanation for the gravitational pull/speed being so strong that light can not escape ? Is gravity...travelling then ?


whajafink ?











"no officer, I'm not driving I'm travelling'......sheeesh !!!!!!

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / How Can Voyager Be In Interstellar Space If They Haven't passed The Oort Cloud ?
« on: 06/06/2022 17:14:53 »
Dear Peeps Of My Respek and Academic Distinguishment,




Take a look at this bona-fide piccy I just took of Voyager 1 just moments ago.





Voyager One (or two...I didn't ask )  Just Moments ago




Why do they say Voyager 1 and 2 are in interstellar space when they have not passed the Oort cloud ?


what's that all about ? Should not Interstellar Space be PAST the OOOOOORRRTTTTTTT CLOUD ?

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Do Spiders Cooperate ?
« on: 28/05/2022 15:44:33 »
I just witnessed these two spiders either working collectively wrapping up supper in my garage....or in competition or just so euphorically engaged that they did not notice each other....which is it ?

Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / Can Anyone Tell Me About This Rock ?
« on: 28/05/2022 14:04:43 »
Can anyone give me some context about this rock/stone in my garden? How did the other stones become attached ? what's the plant ? What of the rock itself ?

Physiology & Medicine / Does reasoning like humans exist in one species only ?
« on: 28/05/2022 13:56:17 »
Do ewe think it would have been possible for another species with the same rationale, intellect and thought processes as humans to have evolved along side humans ? (besides myself that is!)


Or, do you think that our existence is prerequisite upon only ONE species being able to think like humans ? One per planet ?

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Why Are There No Freshwater Cephalopods?
« on: 28/05/2022 13:20:12 »
Dearest Celaphalopdologists,
Meet Arbuthnot Saline The 3rd. He's a happy chappy living the ocean life, carefree , nonchalant and a bit of a player !!

But, there is one thing that bothers him, he's got no cousins that live in fresh water ? why's that then ?

Why are there no freshwater squid, octopi,  etc etc ?






Arbuthnot ' Spearheading' the campaign (pun intended) to lay down the foundation for a freshwater cephalopod community.

Physiology & Medicine / Can You Define What a Woman Is ?
« on: 28/05/2022 12:15:01 »
Why oh why do some people struggle to define what a woman is ?


(This could be ' just Chat;  but it's also I think the ideal section to post this question.)


whajafink ?





Mine......a grown female with XX chromosome's , with all the apparatus to have babies ...cervix, uterus , boobies lol etc !


Please add your own or elaborate on mine !


What's your definition ?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Why does The Sun's Polarity Change Every 11 years and Earth's is so unreliable ?
« on: 27/05/2022 19:39:23 »
Dearest Polarity experts ?

The Sun is well big, a million Earths could fit inside it making it nice and cosy (cozy- USA translation service)..sheesh !! )  during those harsh winter climes. Of course, there are much larger stars, Stephenson2-18 for instance but none of them compare to Sheepys ego .....................of course !! (I am an 'arrogant-free-sheepy')

Anyway, digressing like I do I want to get to the main topic in that why does the Sun's polarity change ? why every 11 years ? and why does Earths change so irregularly like every 300000 years etc and we are well overdue !! What's the universal standard Solar Polarity Change Interval nowadays ?

Your thoughts would be most gratefully received.


Zank ewe

Oh Sun, ewe change your mind every 11 years

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / With unlimited budget, what would be your ideal space exploration project ?
« on: 27/05/2022 18:39:54 »
With unlimited budget and resources, what would be your ideal space/astronomical/cosmological exploration project ?


Would love to hear some of your ideas.

Mine would be to see how well fleas poo in space !....this would be a paradigm shift in our understanding of everything !

What's yours ?

Physiology & Medicine / Can JUST a head survive ?
« on: 27/05/2022 18:32:28 »
Dear Cranial Inplantologists,

As a sheepy I just love my head being where it is. Each day I find it at the end of my neck and it pleases me no end.

Say I was the unfortunate casualty of a horrific happenstance ! A very serious papercut that separates my brain bowl from my body.
I know the outpour of grief would stop the Earth spinning but Could my head(or anybody else's head) remain alive and well if attached to the appropriate equipment


As a firm believer in empirical study I perchance found myself removing my neighbour's *head at 3am this morning and with the aid of Lego I created a toy car that I threw at it  !..A toy car that after all my endless research (none) I thought was the appropriate equipment...................anyway no luck there !....sheesh !!!

*Please do not try this tat home, I am a trained neighbour-head remover.

so, d'ya fink the Universe Spins ?




I dunno !!


I'm asking ewe cos ewe know stuff !!

« on: 27/05/2022 14:35:51 »
Dearest Naked Science Peeps,



Are black holes the blackest things ever ? even blacker than the black paint stuff that is really black ?


I asked the sheep in 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' and all it did was donate wool to a Master, a Dame and a Boy !!..I mean, what kind of help is that ? absolutely rubbish !!!

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Can A Gravitational Wave Cause Physical Damage ?
« on: 27/05/2022 13:09:23 »
Dearest Gravtiationalists with degrees in Gravitationology,


Look at the below picture which I just took !









Bona Fide Piccy Of A Gravitational Wave Taken Just Moments ago.




As a Sheepy I of course know everything there is to know about photographing astronomical/cosmological phenomena. I mean, look at it !..it's a great piccy !


Can Gravitational waves Cause Physical Harm ?  say, they were mega strong ? What am I going to feel as they pass through me ?  Will I puke sheepy sick ?

Dearest Cuttlefishologists ,


Take a look at Henry:



Henry just Moments Ago


Henry wants to serve a purpose after he's "quit the earth" and wants to know if he can become a video display ?


With he's multifaceted skin adaptiveness and ability to mimic his surroundings do you think it's possible ?

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Do Animals That Live In Caves Or The Bottom Of The Sea Follow A 24hr Lifecycle ?
« on: 17/09/2021 14:54:52 »
Dear Klevur peeps,


Some animals live in a cave all their life or others may live at the bottom of the sea never ever seeing sunlight.

Do they still follow a 24 hour cycle ? sleeping ? do they follow seasons ?
