Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Re: Can Animals Appreciate Beauty ?

« on: 25/11/2023 18:03:08 »

@varsigma

Just like You were trying to understand ' Energy ' on a deeper level...

May i ask, what do consider to be
" Beauty " ?

You surely must have some deep thoughts on it.
If you don't mind Sharing, I'd like to hear your Views/Opinions.

Good question. From a purely subjective point of view I guess I see 'beauty' as a personal and emotional response influenced by individual experiences, preferences, and cultural backgrounds. I know that what I may deem beauty will be seen as ugly by someone else.

I know culturally, around the world there are things that are considered beautiful that would not be considered so elsewhere.

I know there are art pieces that I see as beautiful and others not.

What about you ?

I can imagine a dog appreciating a beautiful scent that would be lost on a human.

Physiology & Medicine / How Does The Placebo Effect Work ?

« on: 14/11/2023 14:34:14 »

Have there been any actual real changes for the positive in someone's health due to the Placebo effect ?


If yes, then can the belief in getting better be achieved without taking a false treatment ?


or....if not...why do some people report that they ' feel' better but tests show no physical improvement ?

How do seeds know which way to grow ? Do they reorientate themselves if they have been planted upside down ?

I can appreciate a scenic landscape, a waterfall, a flower etc etc


Do you think it possible that animals, or certain animals, can do too ?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Are All The Planets Moving Away From The Sun Due To Sun Losing Mass ?

« on: 14/11/2023 13:11:56 »

Hi, I'm Sheepy how are ewe ?


In about 500 million-1 billion years(please correct  if inaccurate)  the Sun will start to expand , by then though, would not the Sun have lost enough mass so that all the Planets would have migrated further out  ?




I dunno !.....I asked my cousin but she just ate her baby food and did a poo. I considered that answer but am not entirely convinced .

Thanks to all participants.

So, I figure  it's the Observable Universe that is 13.8 Billion years old.

Hello,


I'm Sheepy how are ewe ? Don't forget, the Earth is flat, men are women and my cat is a pineapple . Thank ewe.


I am probably completely missing the point here (as I do).....but how can we tell the Universe is 13.8B ? if all we can see is the observable  with no idea (or is there?) how big the unobservable is, then how can we determine with such relative assurance how old the Uni is ?


As a firm believer in empirical study I went asked Uni.......



Me literally asking how old Uni is just moments ago in this non-doctored, bona-fide, 1-1 scale photo.



so, no luck there !!


whajafink ?



HOW CAN WE TELL THE AGE OF THE UNI IF ALL WE CAN SEE IS THE OBSERVABLE ?



Thank ewe

Seems nobody, me included, has any useful info. Spherical, oval, ovine?, nah, scrap that line of investigation, I need a better analogy to ram home my point.

I appreciate ewer attention Paul. I am sheeprised myself to have this topic left BAAron !!

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Why Is The Oooooooort Cloud Spherical ? ..and Not an Accretion Disc

« on: 31/07/2023 13:05:48 »

Dearest Sphericalologists,


How are ewe today ? I'm ok, going shopping later for some tetra-neons....what about ewe  ? any plans later ? want to meet up to discuss sheep and sheep related topics ? ( no digression here !!)



 
As a Sheepy I of course am NOT an accretion disc... I am in fact a cloud with legs ! just look up on any inclement day.....................there I am ! wave your arms when ewe do as I need the target practice !!




So, what's the oort cloud all about ? why's it so special that it has to be all cloudy and not accretiony ??


As a firm believer in empirical study, yesterday I went and visited "oorty"...we are BFFs now !!





Oorty and I becoming BFFs just yesterday as confirmed in this bona-fide non doctored 1-1 scale image


So, as ewe can see, Oorty is cloudy !!...why's that then ? why is Oorty NOT an accretion disc ?

If ewe could let me know asap please because I have a Yoga-Cise class to give (it's where ewe exercise your jaws in a meditative way by consuming copious amounts of Yogurt)...and I would like to bring this up for discussion.

So,


Why is Oorty Spherical ?

Dear Milkologists,

Thank ewe for your contribution to the world of milk.

Is it true that Milk changes pH as it heats up ?

why's that then ?
Is it the same for Moo Juice, Sheep and Goat Milk, .........Breast Milk ?....any milk ?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Can Light Experience 'Time'

« on: 13/05/2023 17:14:18 »

Dear  Lightologists !


As a sheepy I of course can run really fast, I literally just completed the London marathon..............2004 !


That's fast !!!


Light was invented in 1845 by Al Luminatti when he went truffle foraging with his pet equine, Sauzzaje the 3rd of Hamlet House. This is true because I said so.


Light travels well fast that at it's top speed it does not perceive time.....weird eh ?   however, my kwescun is....




If you were to slow light down, would the photons then experience time ?

The speed of light, so fast and bright,
It travels at an insane height,
Blink and you'll miss it, that's for sure,
Light's the universe's speedy tour.

Chemistry / Re: Why adding a fizzy drink to ice does the temp drop below the temp of the ice?

« on: 01/03/2023 11:47:16 »

I heard that

Have you checked to see whether it does?

I can see why the evaporation of CO2 will reduce the temperature, with or without the ice.

nooo, of course not, I'm a sheepy ! it's why I ask the esteemed academia that reside here 😊

Dearest Peeps who know oh so much !


I heard that when you add a fizzy drink to ice, the drink actually gets colder than the ice is  !!  What is it with this evil sorcery !!!!!


Why's that then ?....Could we continually add more and more till we reach absolute zero ?


so:


Why when adding a fizzy drink to ice does the temperature drop below the temperature of the ice ?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / How Do We Know The Universe is 13.8B yrs Old If We Can Only See The Observable ?

« on: 25/02/2023 14:36:25 »

Hi, I'm Sheepy how are ewe ?


As a keen Astro photographer I am proud to have the record for the most pretentious "selfie" of all time.





Trust me, It was rather hard holding the selfie stick for this one !!


In the above non-doctored-bona-fide-true-to-scale photo I was contemplating on the age of the Universe.  How can we know it is 13.8 billion years old if all we can see is the observable Universe ?


How can ewe deduce the age of the Universe if ewe can not see the unobservable Universe in all its non viewable grandeur ?


**As a firm believer in empirical study I sneaked into my neighbour's house at 3am this morning and he gladly did not resist when I chloroformed him. I strapped him to a firework with a piece of foil (solar sail 2cmx 2cm)  attached and launched him. I told him that all he need do is hold his breath and to not let go of the end of the tape measure and stop watch,  Whilst we await the data can you answer the kweschun ?
