MONKMAN Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 As expected, the Nobel prize for physics this year has gone to Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish for the detection of gravitational waves. I can only imagine the basement dwelling, St Mirren pyjama wearing moron that is wisbit, having a full blown cranium detachment at the thought. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/science-environment-41476648 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Kind of peeved that Glasgow Uni, who paved the way for this discovery in many ways (Profs Drever and Hough prominent) don't get a mention here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-35551872 Edited to clarify I mean by the Nobel committee, not the BBC article obviously.

Never met one in real life, but I did go through a phase of watching some videos and listening to some of the nutters to try and work out what they base their belief on. Although it's clearly nonsense I was curious how the theory could still exist in modern times . Turns out, to the surprise of nobody, the belief is based on zero scientific evidence and mostly biblical hocus pocus. Who'd have thought? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Sorry if somebody already posted this - been a while since I've checked in. Did anyone work out if Wisbit was right about gravity? The Nevada Museum of Art appear to have obtained Kickstarter funding for the first purely decorative satellite to orbit Earth (or anywhere else we know of, I suppose). It's some kind of reflective device that will be visible with the naked eye from the planet's surface, although I haven't noticed anything that describes if it'll follow Nevada as the planet rotates, or if it'll be stationary and visible in different part of the world. Either way, the conspiracy theorists will presumably lose their minds. It'll only orbit for two months, then burn up in the atmosphere, which is a bit of a shame as I quite like the idea of a Halley's Comet-style pretty object that pops up in the sky every now and then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was going to be Daily Express type bollocks but it seems to be quite serious. If they went to the trouble of disguising a ship as a rock I doubt they'll be letting mobile phone signals escape from it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
