stephenh Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I'm fascinated, do other people dream about these things as well?.....I thought it was just me and Brian Cox!😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sill haven't found Blatters lecture yet, but still looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard (OldStager) Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 @Blatman This isn't the video I watched the other week, but Sabine does explain this , albeit in soundbite comments. 10 minute vid. If I find the one I had in mind I will post that when I find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SootySport Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Im a closet scientist as well, understanding little of what these great mimds come up with. I used to read books by Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking. Athur C Clarke etc. always baffled with explanations of our world and space, little of it sinks into my mind but raises my curiosity even more. Lately, battery science has been my interest, with so many materials being researched on which is best for reusable batteries in vehicles. its big subject on its own. I always remember my physics lessons on anything to do with electricity and the strange fact that with DC, actual electron flow goes from the negative to the positive terminal. After watching YouTube videos on Electric fields i've found out its more complicated than i first thought. Keeps the mind occpied I guess/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsechris Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 The more I was taught the more I realised it was just increasingly complex ‘lies for children’, as so few have the required understanding to comprehend the maths needed….and even then, we (humans) still lack a true understanding, so arguably, it’s just yet more lies for children. I just accepted the explanations that worked well enough so I could get on with things at the level I was at. Dangerously close to ‘faith’.

Richard (OldStager) Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 No it wasn't @corsechris, it was that nobody had continued to add new science stuff, during my er "time off". I don't mind posting stuff, was watching a few last night. I don't pretend to understand even a quarter of what's being said, but I always get a small bit of info that helps me with the next one one the same subject. I am a "hands on" guy not an academic one, but fascinated by what's being discovered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard (OldStager) Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 Just watched this one, was pretty good. (Chris used to appear on the Sky at Night , with Sir Patrick Moore before his sad death ) published 3 days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard (OldStager) Posted Sunday at 10:09 Author Share Posted Sunday at 10:09 For @Blatman, this is just one of many on the subject, for me currently Terraforming Mars is a no go , perhaps one day far in the future we may just succeed but I and you will be long gone to ever find out about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
