Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Is it Just Hadrons that The Large Hadron Collider...collides ?

« on: 29/10/2024 18:15:10 »

Hi, I'm Neil. how are ewe ?


What is so special about Hadrons ?
Are there other particles on the menu to be collided too ?
How do they store the particles ?....are they kept in a test tube or something ?
How many particles are fired at one time ?




Thank ewe

Physiology & Medicine / What Happens To White Cells After They Have Dealt With An Infection ?

« on: 29/10/2024 16:04:06 »

Dear all,


As a sheepy I of course know everything there is to know about my immune system . It's obvious isn't it ? Wooly Cloud With Legs = Complete Knowledge of Everything......... Obvious....blatant even !!!


HOWEVER, as the proud proprietor of more than 10 white blood cells I realised a gap in my scholarship.....What happens to White Blood Cells After They Have Defeated Bacteria ?...do they just carry on doing their thing or go for an MOT** ?...or retire ?


 
Whajafink ?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Are Atoms Perpetual Motion Machines ?

« on: 29/10/2024 15:41:04 »

This got me thinking from my other thread regarding the absolute zero and motion of quantum stuff.Why does Quantum Stuff Still Move At Absolute Zero ? | Naked Science Forum


Seeing as Atoms are always moving because they always have energy  !

1: Where does the energy come from ? 2: Does this make atoms (et al) Perpetual Motion Machines ?




Thank You

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Why does Quantum Stuff Still Move At Absolute Zero ?

« on: 18/10/2024 18:52:03 »

Dearest Quantologists,


Absolute Zero is well cold !!Colder than my freezer and that is currently set at -18c (-0.4F) which is.....freezing !!


I found out recently that even at absolute zero quantum thingies still move !!


Look,



"Hi I'm Quanty and I'm moving despite it being rather chilly"




Here is a quantum thingy that I took a photo of with my 1976 SX-70 Polaroid when I set my Freezer to -273.15c just moments ago.
I took video too and it was moving. This is true because I said so.




So, two questions really, why does quantum stuff still move at 0K ? and therefore, should absolute zero be even lower than -273.15c ?








I dunno.....do ewe ?

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / How Do Bees Say That The Source Of Food Is Now Empty ? Or Don't They ?

« on: 22/05/2024 19:24:19 »

Dearest Beekeepers and Bee-ologists,


As a sheepy I of course know everything there is to know about Bees.  I know this because  they are the second letter of the alphabet.



B-Sharp telling B-Minor where the nosh it just moments ago.




Bees get their nosh by telling each other where it is.  Take a look at the above photo for the proof.




So, when the nosh has all gone, how do they let the others know ? does it just get lost in new messages of new food locales ? Last thing you want is traffic jam on one petal !!




So, whajafink ? do they somehow cancel the locale or not ?




Thank ewe for BEEing so kind.

Excellent, now that we are all best friends I'd like to find out how old soil is. Soil is my all time favourite dirty earthy stuff that things grow in.

« on: 17/05/2024 14:18:51 »

Dear Surrogacyologists,


Surrogacy is a real fine thing for girlies to do.  I asked one and she said she was fine....so there you have it QED.




With the body of the female sheeporting the life of the infant, is anything at all passed down from the surrogate to the child ?


If, not...how not ?


Thank ewe for kind assistance.

« on: 17/05/2024 11:55:58 »

Dearest Marsologists,


As a sheepy I maintain a rotund, circular, plumpy figure.   So there I was, day dreaming about all things round when it dawned on me that I don't recall seeing circular rock deposits on Mars.
As a firm believer in empirical study I caught the bus to Mars and it's true!.. Where are all the round rocks ?



Mars with no round rocks just minutes ago !!

So, have all the Flerfs gone up there to remove them ? or are there no round rocks on Mars ?


Please to be letting me know

Physiology & Medicine / Why Make Scar Tissue Instead Of Bog-standard Tissue To Heal ?

« on: 14/05/2024 13:17:58 »

Dearest Scarologists and 'Hoo-Har' (Kwik Kwiz...why am I saying "Hoo Har" ?)






Take a look at Samantha's scar !



Samantha's scar last Wednesday evening circa 23:14. She was drinking tea.


Why doth da body make da scar tissue innit ? (attempting to attract 'street-kids' to enjoy science) you feel me ?

Ok, why does the body make scar tissue that lasts forever and just not regular tissue  ?

Scars come in all shapes ,sizes and textures etc....wouldn't it just be easier to just heal back to normal. does not the liver do this ?

A genuine non-doctored bona-fide picture of a real cell defending the body as just mentioned in the above sentence just moments ago

How do the cells know where the infectious cells are ? and how do they even move to apprehend the the offending cells ? Do they ' uber' it ? use Waze ? ask directions ?  I dunno !!


Do ewe know ?

I went and asked a prisoner as he was inside a cell and he had no idea !!


Thank ewe for your kind service in shedding some light here.

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / What Organisms Have The Most Dissimilar DNA ?

« on: 14/05/2024 12:30:26 »

Hi Dna-ologists .


We apparently share 50% of our DNA with bannanas !  That's nice. When I look at the picture of Ben and his banana together I am convinced. I find it difficult to tell the difference between the two,




Ben and his banana just moments ago. Which is which ? I can't tell !!

So, which organisms have the least similar DNA ?

As a sheepy I of course share my DNA with clouds. we are 99.99999999999% the same. This is true because I said so.



So, can ewe think of a few organism's with such fundamentally  disparate and incongruous DNA ?

thank ewe

General Science / How Do We Know The Temp Of Absolute Zero If We Can never Reach It ?

« on: 14/05/2024 10:28:05 »

Dearest  Coldologists !


'Absolute Zero' is well cold innit ?   


As a firm believer in empirical study  I snuck into my neighbours house at 3am this morning and put his air con onto max and dangled some ice cubes over his head. I also pipe fed him his favourite brand of vodka despite his playful protestations that he had just become clean after 15 years of going to AA. Oh well.


Anyway, the best I could do is drop his temperature a single degree. I blame his body's lack of cooperation. So, no luck there then !


What I was attempting to achieve is to see what would happen at Absolute Zero but found this very difficult to achieve.......then.....after stuffing my neighbour in the freezer I realised after 5 hours that it's impossible to achieve absolute zero and gave up and came home.


however, I thought "How Is The Temperature of Absolute Zero Known If We can Never Achieve It ?"




I dunno, shrugging my shoulders and stuff  !


Please to be accommodating my request with an answer.


Thank Ewe

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Observing Quantum Entangled particles At the Same Time . What Happens ?

« on: 13/05/2024 10:49:15 »

Dearest Quantumologists,


Now, as a sheepy, my wool is always being entangled. Ewe pull one strand and another moves. This has baffled Quantum Woologists since 1743 when Sheep were invented by Sir Ramewe J.Umper the 3rd.


Now, say we have a pair of entangled particles. Observing one immediately changes the other. BUT.....what happens if ewe observe both the particles at the exact same time ?? what happens ? does the Universe suddenly end ? do all vending machines dispense goods for free ?




I need to know because I want to know and I hate not knowing stuff that I want to know.




Thank ewe for your kind consideration in this woolly mattered !!!

Why are baby animals cute ?



Some baby animals being cute literally seconds ago !!




Don't they look so adorable ? do they not make ewe want to go "awwwwwwwwww" ?


why's that then ? What purpose does it serve to make baby animals cute ? I would like to extend that to baby humans, but sometimes I think baby humans are too wrinkly !..when they get older they also look cute.


Which one of the above do ewe think is the cutest ?...


I need to know soon as I am a speaker at a philosophy symposium next Tuesday and I need to look klevur by discussing a klevur topic ..thank ewe .
