Nozzer, typo mate typo, ever make a typing mistake? I make many of those

You are not being pretentious, you are being a dick, there is a difference, you require some intelligence and achievement of sorts to be able to pull pretentiousness off, unfortunately you're below the watermark for such antics.

 

Well there's room for him, in his opinion, if he thinks trois is 3+1

 

Menage a carré doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

 

If 2+2=5, then 2+3 presumably = 6, take away the 2 again and you have 3+1. Maybe. I dunno.

 

I like your style if nothing else

 

I'll take that as a compliment.

 

It was meant as such, you clever batard

 

here is a somewhat interesting correlation. Global drought total land mass has been declining for the last 30 years, and in that time global greening has increased by about 30%.

Throw that on top of yar on year increase in crop yields and boom, CO2 is actually good for the environment.

Love you too mate!

 

We need one more to trois this bitch up

 

This is from a couple of pages back (only lunchtime today) but could not let it go

It seems this is yet another of monktons claims that are not backed by evidence.
Now we should not let the fact that the man is a wild fantasist and feels the need to lie to give himself some kind of scientific importance affect how we view his points on the current argument, however, you do have to wonder what sort of organisation would currently use him as a spokesman and policy advisor.

On the evolution of mankind's "intelligence"

Nobody has commented on how the mastery of fire and thereby cooking food (especially meat) was a key component in the sudden massive development of the brain.

Without this who knows what kind of intelligence level we would be at now.

 

Large Hadron Collider to turn on 'data tap'

Protons first circulated at the new energies (without collisions) on April 10
The Large Hadron Collider is about to pave the way to a new era in physics.

Scientists are waiting for the first new data to start flowing from the underground particle smasher, as the LHC begins its first "physics collisions" in two years.

The vast machine will clatter proton beams together at much higher energies than it achieved during its first operational period from 2010-2013.

This should allow physicists to hunt for signs of new scientific phenomena.

Situated 100m beneath tranquil countryside on the Franco-Swiss border, the particle smasher operated by Cern has already carried out test collisions at the energy of 13 trillion electron volts (TeV), up from a high mark of 8 TeV achieved during the machine's first run.

Now it is time for the main event, where physicists can begin their work.

One of the first supersymmetric particles to be detected might be one called the gluino. Another novel addition to the zoo of cosmic building blocks might be the particle responsible for dark matter, which makes up some 27% of the Universe.

Because dark matter is expected to be "invisible" at sub-atomic as well as astronomical scales, physicists will have to look for indirect evidence of its production. One of the key signs that dark matter may have been generated is an apparent imbalance in momentum before and after a particle collision known as "missing transverse energy".

"If you see such a signature at the LHC which can't be explained by Standard Model physics, what that's perhaps telling you is that you're turning normal matter into dark matter. If that's the case, the LHC would be acting as a dark matter factory, which is quite a neat idea," said Dan Tovey.

Playing the same tune
The boost to collisions at 13 TeV has been made possible after a two-year programme of repairs and upgrades, including the re-soldering of thousands of connections between the LHC's superconducting magnets after flaws were found.

"We did changes, upgrades and modifications to the machine to make it run at higher energies," Paul Collier, the head of Cern's beam department, told BBC News.

"The thing about the LHC is that you are dealing with many different systems, but they all have to work together to ensure they're playing the same tune."

Over the coming months, he said, "we will slowly bring up the collision rate, but it needs to be done in stable conditions".

The proton beams in the LHC contain as much energy as a speeding train, but each beam contains billions of particles - only a fraction of which will collide at the crossing points.

The energy of two protons colliding in the LHC is equivalent to that of a dozen mosquitoes in flight. But the extraordinary thing about this machine is that the energy is packed into a minuscule space, billions of times smaller than the humble mozzie.

In this way, the collider is able to recreate energy densities close to those that existed just after the Big Bang - allowing physicists to probe the very fabric of the cosmos.

This is all a bit late for our ****ing season isn't it



""If you see such a signature at the LHC which can't be explained by Standard Model physics, what that's perhaps telling you is that you're turning normal matter into dark matter"

See, I told you, they haven't even done the work yet and are insinuating that anything new found will be perceived as Dark Matter. That's not how it should work

 

I did say that it would be too late for this season when I heard there was a problem delaying collisions. Anyway. I didn't think you were talking to me as I'm a pretentious ****

Moi?

 

Go along with me on this as i am bit of a novice so please point me in right direction.

The term dark matter is used to describe "stuff" we have not yet detected but are sure it is there because of the missing mass? yes/no
Any "stuff" they detect that cant be explained by standard model physics is therefore going to be new types of "stuff"? yes/no

if yes to these (as that is what I think) then surely it makes sense to think the new "stuff" is PERHAPS part of the "stuff" we haven't been able to detect before ie dark matter?

 

We are all a little pretentious Red you know that There is a difference between being pretentious, and Tobes' outright "pretending" though.

Some people are just not comfortable in their own skin.

I have him on ignore, did he post some sort of ass rimming post in support of you? I can see "ignored member" posted last on this board, Tobes has been following me from thread to thread yesterday even though he knows I can't read his posts.
Seems like he has some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder

 

I don't even get that he just pretends to have me on ignore when i point out his lies or ask for evidence, eg this lie about monkton that he replied to with a picture.

 

Sorry bit off topic but just wondering how you have people on ignore but are still able to quote them and respond to their points. Can you let me know as I would like to be able to do this, thanks.
