He's in his element when talking about science it seems!

Did anyone see the recent QI that talked about breast feeding? Apparently a mother's breastmilk feeds 2 separate species. Most of the milk is obviously for the baby, but part of it has no nutritional value for the baby but instead feeds the bacteria in the baby's stomach. A bit like a Yakult I guess.

Anyway I thought that was.. Quite Interesting.

Yeah yoghurt is really interesting. <whistle>
 
@BringBackFootie. you've been quiet for a while but I see you're back in full swing again. <laugh>

No nonsense please, we were having a sensible discussion about the science of tantrums eg the boy who spits his dummy out and takes his ball home, also found some interesting research that says adults that display those kinds of behaviour are more likely to have smaller brains. Is psychology a science at all?
 
Maybe not but how fast does a standard train go? less than 200mph? This can double that I'd imagine, no friction, so accelerating would be faster i'd say on an air cussion

theres a mag lev train in toyko that goes quite a distance... you have to get up to speed in a comfortable manner for the passengers, same on braking.

I was on the ICE trains in germany. Stuttgart to frankfurt airport in <1 hour. it goes 150mph in paces but never gets up to speed when theres stations anyhwere close together.

Why don't you rise above, you've made your points well.
same for others BTW.

If you are not interested in content and only interested in the other thread and continuing that argument then why not just let it go? give it a brief chance at least....


Now for all: yeah I, (as in ME) triggered lightest most non invasive possible means at my disposal to say give it a go at being a real discussion on the first two who posted baiting. Since then there's been 3 guys doing exactly the same and have not been given anything.... whats a gu supposed to do? bother his arse or treat you all like kids? wheres the fun in that.

I'd suggest you find some fun things to talk baout cos thats the point of all this... something to talk baout that you might be interested in? do you need a sisu fan club thread?

Did you know.....

and this is serious point

the bacteria in the baby's stomach is only gained through passage through the vaginal passage. thats where the first bacteria comes from.

Babies who are borm by C section have been proven to have different bacteria in their systems. so they only get Doctors hands or maternity ward bugs.

You all have had a taste of... well I'm not going to finish that i shouldn't. It makes sense that the miracle system generates nutrients for the bacteria it deposits in the baby's gut.... amazing really.

I hope you've all learned something new from this.. and if you have not why didn't you share?
 
The proof is in the pudding though, MITO brought up Non Newtonian fluids and several people including me learned ****. That's the purpose of this thread.
We even discussed the merits of cornstarch vs cornflour @VincentTansTache


Me n TT are even discussing psychology <ok>
:D

Go learning and discussion! <laugh>

Yes, my Mrs breastfed em all, the kids that is :bandit: It is essential for a baby's immune system. That's why Nestle are criminals, they convinced millions of women in the third world they dont need to breast feed, with pseudo science. Obviously a stronger immune system is even more important in poor nations

Deceleration is a the problem I'd imagine, I reckon they can get the speeds up but stopping takes a while, those Japanese trains go what? 360mph?, you'd need a bit of time to slow down, lest your stomach comes out of your mouth. :D

Slowing down from 750mph would take a while too, I think the limiting factor in the technology is the fleshy meat bags within the trains

true.

I heard something about this bacterial stuff that they take in form the vaginal passage as showing relatively clearly that babies with C sections are not as healthy in later life.

they get more asthma and obesity.something about the environment of the gut not having the same bacterial workers and you digest differently.

You'd be right, the immune system develops late on in a fetus (I think at least in some ways) and is completed with 6 months to a year breastfeeding.

So a C section takes the baby out before that bit of immune system development is completed.

We need inertia dampening, something so far elusive, Star Trek sussed it donkeys ago, what's the hold up Science? come on you ****s, invent. <laugh>

thats what i heard, the bugs that grow in the gut don't get there in the womb, they get there in brith and handling afterwards... you don't initially have same bugs in there but you eventually gain whatever... but you are developing so my missus' sister has had two c section kids

I'm telling you both were bottle fed and the second is an absolute fat ****. no denying the little fella is nice and all but at <1 year i thought **** this is a heart attack waiting to happen when i saw him at 3months...

I thin there's something in it anyway.
