Chemistry / Does The pH of Milk Change When Heating?

« on: 15/05/2023 14:07:24 »

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 ?

Hi All,


We have all seen those videos of ' satisfying' moments where a process is seen and it makes you feel better ........why is that ?

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 😊

« on: 25/02/2023 18:22:07 »

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 ?

Dearest Pulseologists,


Ewe know who ewe are.....with the insatiable desire to keep taking pulses !!




As a sheepy I of course know all about pulses, I am an expert having had a pulse all my life.


One thing I was recently made aware of is that the Earth has a 26 second pulse !!!...what's that all about ?


Please deliver me an answer as I am about to become a first aid sheep and I need to know how to resuscitate the Earth should it it's pulse weaken or even stop !!




so, What Is The 26 Second Pulse Of The Earth ?

Just Chat! / Ridiculous Scientific Complaints

« on: 05/02/2023 23:58:47 »

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing this letter to express my disappointment with the size of the universe. I have recently become aware of the vast expanse of space and the infinite number of galaxies that exist beyond our own, and I must say, I am not pleased with what I have learned.

I understand that the universe is vast and has no limits, but I cannot help but feel that it is too big for my liking. The idea of being just a tiny speck in the grand scheme of things is overwhelming and makes me feel insignificant. I cannot comprehend the distances involved, and it is a source of anxiety for me.

I would like to request that the size of the universe be reduced to a more manageable size. I understand that this is a tall order, but I believe it is possible. I believe that a smaller universe would provide a sense of comfort and security to many people who feel the same way I do.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / As The Andromeda galaxy gets Closer Do We See It Younger ?

« on: 03/02/2023 13:54:47 »

Dearest Galaxyologists,


Thank ewe for all the ' galaxy' work you do. It's appreciated. 


As a sheepy, I of course know all there is to know about Galaxies. I'm torn between them and Cadbury but they are both very nice (UK joke-https://www.galaxychocolate.co.uk/) and on they go like lovers in slo-mo on the beach they are running towards each other...awwwwwwwwww !!!


As ewe all know, in the red corner we have Andromeda and in the Blue corner we have The Milky Way (also choccy themed...hmmmmmm !)







The Andromeda and Milky way just moments ago  billions of years in the future (no oxymorons here I assure ewe)






So, as Andromeda gets closer will we be able to see it get younger as the light won't need to travel so far is not it ?

Well there ewe have it.......disgusting !!.....i think it received a little water damage as some of it was very saturated......still sweet but the texture of the cake sponge was all soft. Probably a preparation error from 2011.

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

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 !!!
