Just Chat! / Why do We get Irked or Angry when someone Abuses Us?

« on: 02/03/2021 20:33:17 »

Anyways, just what is the Deal with abusive language?
I mean to ask, Why do some such words bother Us?
There must be a psychological science behind this, Right?
🤔

Say if Someone calls me a DOG...
Isn't that more off a Compliment?
Loyal + Cute + Playful + Best Companion!
🐶

What's so Wrong being called a Clown?
Jerky + Funny + Lively!
🤡

Yeaaaah!
I'm coming to it...
Folks point out at genitalia.
Holes & stuff.
But that's simply biological...everybody got holes Right?
Yaa sum got big others small sum r here n there n sum got em everywhere...So Waat?
🤔

If Someone adds my Mother + & a sexual intercourse term behind it...
Why do i get Offended?
😏
Obviously i do Not instantly turn into Whatever Someone thinks or says bout Mee!
😇

Just wish to Understand the logic behind this...
I Agree abusive words are unhealthy & uncalled for.
👍
Please Do Not Misunderstand Me taking a stand For abusive & profane language.
🙏

I just wish to know Why does it irk me?
Why do i lose my cool?
Why do just Words typed in a specific format feel like i was assaulted Physically?
What makes Me send an abusive response, in response to abuses?
WHY???
🤔

P.S. - Neaah!
I rarely abuse, coz i do Not find it productive... it's simply childishly lame!
✌️

Just Chat! / WHY do certain Members sabotage the Forum???

« on: 24/08/2018 15:54:52 »

Why is it that my Questions are a lot more important than others?
Why do I deliberately misuse the freedom of asking infinite questions?
Why can I not wait for one(1) to be answered n then move with the next, why do I ask ten(10) questions instantaneously?
Why do I look like I spread my curiousness all over a particular section almost owning it n in the process shove & bury other members doubts & discussions?
Why is mutual courtesy so dead online and why are chat etiquettes a thing of the past?

Just Chat! / The Poem!

« on: 09/08/2018 02:05:00 »

Considering a " Roses are Red " poem consists of 4 rhyming lines...

Simple Instructions :-
1)Each member can type/post only one(1) line consisting of not more than 100 to 120 characters.
2)Once you post your line then you wait your turn for at least three(3) other members to post their lines.
3)If two(2) members post a line simultaneously, the same day n same time then the ' first come first served ' rule applies and the other member should ideally delete or modify their post.
Please make sure OUR lines RHYME!

Inspired from the ' Science " roses are red " poems ' OP by Tomassci.
It was a pleasant surprise to notice we have poets in the house.
(This could also serve as an experiment of how well a diversified group of like minded people irrespective of their difference of opinions can synchronize their actions by following a simple set of instructions and come together in an orchestrated manner to create something fun, interesting and possibly beautiful.)

Like a hive mind, where there are no leaders & no followers.
Working towards a common goal but still retaining respective individualities.

P.S. - if u are a Guest n like/enjoy The Poem! then no one is stopping u from joining in & being a part of it, except for your ownself.

Just Chat! / Why doesn't thedoc or katieHaylor ever post answers ?

« on: 07/06/2018 21:18:47 »

I've noticed two specific Users/Members ' thedoc ' & ' katieHaylor ' always keep asking/forwarding OP questions on TNS, but haven't come across any post/thread where they express their own personal views on the subject matter in question.

They seem to be a part of the Moderators Team, n supposedly take care of n manage other ' handles ' for TNS like the podcast or emailed questions or twitter.
I also understand good management includes bifurcation of work profiles n subdivision of workload works out to be very efficient.

But just out of stupid curiosity, when was the last time thedoc or katieHaylor posted a personal view or attempted to answer an OP ?
Do they seriously never feel the itch to do so like ever?
Or are their Member/Moderator Accounts sort of different which do not provide them the privileges of posting on or in any OP?
Are they purposely been shunted from speaking out n expressing or they are just Autobots on the system?

P.S. - Please bear in mind I'm a new member n don't understand the intricacies of how TNS works n operates, I do not mean any disrespect to anyone n ask these questions just out of simple stupid curiosity.
If its confidential n i have no business knowing these things then I'm fine with it and if I could get the answers but you would have to kill me later, then I'd rather not want to know Okay!

Guest Book / Constructive Proposals.

« on: 15/11/2017 02:06:39 »

Hello TNS,
A few Requests if I may.

Could we Please have a Mathematics Geometry & Algebra section ?
I've just started with understanding concepts/theories but simultaneously would also like to learn equations/formulas.   ➕➖✖➗

Can we Please have a Philosophy Epistemology & Metaphysics section as well ?
Although I've placed my mind on a strict scientific diet, but do like to indulge in a philosophical cupcake once a while.
 🍮

Also could a better mechanism be put in place of the current one in reference to Guests/Non-Members ?
I've noticed a lot of guests frequently visiting the forum but except for a open poll there ain't options where they could leave a mark, or make their opinions/views heard leaving them gagged.   😷

I know all of the above said is certainly asking for a bit too much, and I can completely understand if none of it can happen.

Thank You !   🙏

Secret Note - while walkin in, saying wat I wanted to n now on my way out I had shut my eyes tightly so I didn't see a thingy or two.   🙈
for a change, at least start wearing a tie or a hat. 👔 🎓 😝

General Science / Is time travel possible?

« on: 10/11/2017 22:03:21 »

Science Fact, Not Fiction!

The location of the OP should make it pretty clear that any n all your replies/views need to be absolutely realistic & not based out of hypothetical/science-fiction/fantasy or otherwise.

Theoretical n scientific assumptions would be acceptable provided they are backed up with Facts, Please focus on realism n stuff which is currently a reality.

Please try to keep your posts short simple precise n to the point. Typing a whole thesis here would be pointless.

Another Request if i may, Considering I'm lost n pullover n ask for directions, n folks trying to point me towards the right path have different opinions n they get into a debate/quarrel/egoistic truffle between themselves ultimately leaves me left out on the roadside dazed n confused n direction less.
Avoid subjective opinions n adhere to objective universal realities.

*Please Note - Any members trying to misdirect/mislead the OP or in refusal to adhere to the T&C stated above shall be duly reported to the Mods of this forum.
Maybe your posts would be deleted, maybe not...but I Guarantee they will be Reported.

If you feel the above requirements are a bit too much to ask then it would be sensible to refrain from posting any replies.
I rather have this OP left blank n never answered, instead of filling it up with unrealistic fictional blabber.
Thank You.

A Note - To the Moderators of TheNakedScienctists Forum.

Hello, 😀
             I clearly Understand this specific post/thread/OP is not a question, I just don't know how else to do this.   😮

Please do not hesitate to go ahead n move this to another location which you feel or think is appropriate.   😇

I am more than Obliged to adhere to the Forum's Acceptable Usage Policies and also clearly understand how much hardwork you folks are doing backstage to keep the show on track n running.   👌

Do not think or feel your efforts are falling inside a blackhole, considering none of you are being paid for it.
Certainly all of you share a common belief that some things matter more than just mere financial or monetary gain, like spreading the knowledge of scientific wisdom.   🗽

Hope you all continue to do so in the near future, Wish i had a million dollars to donate but i do not.(not as yet).  👍

Please accept a million in the "words" form of currency that I currently own.
Thank You All Very Much * A Million.   🙏


(anybody else viewing/reading this please do not hesitate to join in and say a few words. do not worry of being banned, that won't happen...trust me!)   😜

Picture Courtesy & Credit - This image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, using the Wide Field Camera 3, on April 21, 2014. Jupiter's atmosphere and its appearance constantly changes, and hence its current appearance today may not resemble what it was when this image was taken. Depicted in this image, however, are a few features that remain consistent, such as the famous Great Red Spot, featured prominently in the lower right of the image, and the planet's recognizable banded appearance.

Physiology & Medicine / Are your dreams silent, or inaudible?

« on: 06/11/2017 11:57:09 »

I recently came across a thought which seems to be circulating amongst our society/civilization.
Its like a notion/view which is being whispered n echoing among the people in general.

I read up on "Dreams" in Wikipedia but did not find any reference or information on the specified topic.
I tried checking on the Web, but could not find specified theories or data stating for/against on the topic.

Thankfully I know of a place where I would get clarifications/insights on the subject in question hence going ahead n posting this question, hopefully awaiting replies/views n wishfully thinking the question will stand answered at a future point in time.

*Please Note - I have read a substantial amount on the subject "Dreams" in general, so I am aware of terms/concepts/theories such as rem, Freudian Jung view, Darwinian perspective, b & w colour dreams, wet or lucid dreaming, oneironaut, deja vu, daydreaming, hallucinations n nightmare etc etc etc.

(I Request folks to Please keep aside sight smell taste touch n focus/concentrate specifically on the Sound aspect, as I do not wish to transform this forum page into a wikipedia page.)

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Why is Space considered as a Void/Empty/Vacuum?

« on: 21/10/2017 02:33:35 »

Why is Space considered as a Void/Empty/Vacuum?

If I observe a woman walking down the road n can't help but appreciate her wonderful natural beautiful curves, 👯 n the next moment think the woman is a nonexistent entity how could I then with a scientific temperament be foolishly ignorant to praise her natural beauty. 🙉

In the same manner we know Light bends, but Gravity doesn't bend Light right? 🎐

Gravity creates a shallow dent impression in the fabric of SpaceTime right? 🌊

When Light passes through the SpaceTime Medium which is curved, Light follows the curved path right? 🌉

Now if Space is void vacuumed n empty, how can it possibly inherit the quality to have a curvature? 😵
