    Why did the Frogs not like black holes as a name, as opposed to frozen stars? A lolly ice up the arse could cause a frozen star. Dunno what the connotation is with black holes.

    Dirty minded ****ers these Gallics, aren't they?

    So let me get this right, there's the actual 'evil' oil companies and then these nice lads who give money to environmental organisations as some form of benefactor donation for the greater good? <laugh>

    You absolute ****ing bonehead.

    They've been throwing money at marine biologists to both buy their silence and be seen to give a flying **** about the incredibly sensitive Eco systems that they've got ****ing great oil and gas wells next to <doh>

    So they've not given them anything, they've made an investment, you imbecile.

    They don't need to spend anywhere near as much on the denier PR, you were trying to make out that the money spent on marine biology was some sort of philanthropic act <laugh>

    The individual lives of the people discussing the science of global warming is irrelevant to the whether you believe it's happening or not.

    You don't drive, wow, but you don't believe in global warming anyway so it's not a decision you've made with that in mind is it?

    Oil companies have always been ****s, the fact that I drive cars doesn't make me a hypocrite for seeing them for what they are yer daft melt.

    <laugh> Double meltdown, TT's back with more weirdo **** <laugh>

    Meanwhile 40.000 Japanese have been put on evacuation notice over snow fall.

    Now if that was rain Astro and Tobes would be having kittens.

    The only thing you religious clowns can blame on global warming religion is warming. The winters are getting more severe, than summers are getting warmer, yet somehow the global temperature is going up? huh?

    US Mexico Japan all getting lashed out of it. More snow forecast. More cold ass weather, which has really kicked off around 2009 2010.

    Snow's been killing loads of people, 10s of thousands, yearly in the last 5 years. "Global warming" has killed no one.

    Illogical nonsense.


    Now imagine what those winters would be like if those people depended on wind and solar for power..


    Japan atm

    To even suggest the recent warmth is as much a problem as this, I guess you need to and try get by in that without your evil fossil fuels yeah, wouldn't last ten minutes <laugh>
    Of course, when all their predictions failed epic, they kicked the can 100 years down the road so as to make their claims unfalsifiable as our science just cannot even come close to predicting that... even remotely, and changed it to climate change

    Yada yada, since when has laughing at your shyte represented a meltdown?

    Still at least you have started including links rather than C+P and then post as if it were your own stuff.

    AAAAnd all the horseshit about British steel closing because of energy prices, bollocks, 6% of their costs are electricity, 25% is coal for the cokes.
    Carbon tax is shutting them down, maybe the workers can get jobs building wind farms, but that work is only temporary, one time jobs, net job loss and more import cutting the working man out yet again.

    All for what, absolutely no effect on temperature or climate even IF the claims were true, which they aren't


    TT I dont read your weirdo **** mate. Carry on

    You still don't understand the basic mechanic of increased precipitation and global warming do you?

    Then again, coming from the bloke who posted that it's still bloody cold at night in Finland and therefore the 2 degree annual temperature increase (as stated by the Finland Meteorological Institute) was no biggy, that should hardly come as a surprise

    Hahahahaha you absolute flute.

    In the same way the UK ship industry died you mean? Oh no, that was down to labour costs.

    The U.K. Steel industry has been ****ed by falling global demand and the dumping of cheap steel by the Chinese. The energy costs are not the prime factor.

    #reality

    Did you get that from one of your oil shill denier sites? Or did you come up with that steaming pile of horse **** yourself?

    Wind power 0.24GW
    http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/

    You subsidise over wind 6000 turbines. So on average each gives 40kw. That's enough to run 20 kettles.

    <laugh> <laugh>

    Give me a break, solar and wind are a joke

    Meanwhile jobs get exported to cheaper energy countries.


    Denmark sets the record for most power from wind, and their leccy is the most expensive in Europe

    This past August, scientists working with CERN's ALICE (a Large Ion Collider Experiment), a heavy-ion detector on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ring, made precise measurements of particle mass and electric charge that confirm the existence of a fundamental symmetry in nature. "After the Big Bang, for every particle of matter an antiparticle was created. In particle physics, a very important question is whether all the laws of physics display a specific kind of symmetry known as CPT, and these measurements suggest that there is indeed a fundamental symmetry between nuclei and antinuclei," said Marcelo Gameiro Munhoz, a professor at the University of São Paulo (USP).

    Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States and ALICE at the LHC, operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland--consists of experimental activities relating to the study of relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

    Among other objectives, the Brazilian researchers involved with ALICE seek to understand the production of heavy quarks (charm and bottom quarks) based on the measurement of electrons using an electromagnetic calorimeter and, more recently, Sampa, a microchip developed in Brazil to study rarer phenomena arising from heavy-ion collisions in the LHC.

    According to Munhoz, the measurements of mass and charge performed in the symmetry experiment, combined with other studies, will help physicists to determine which of the many theories on the fundamental laws of the universe is most plausible. "These laws describe the nature of all matter interactions," he said, "so it's important to know that physical interactions aren't changed by particle charge reversal, parity transformation, reflections of spatial coordinates and time inversion. The key question is whether the laws of physics remain the same under such conditions."

    In particular, the researchers measured the mass-over-charge ratio differences for deuterons, consisting of a proton and a neutron, and antideuterons, as well as for nuclei of helium-3, comprising two protons and one neutron, and antihelium-3. Recent measurements at CERN compared the same properties of protons and antiprotons at high resolution.

    The ALICE experiment records high-energy collisions of lead ions at the LHC, enabling the study of matter at extremely high temperatures and densities. The lead-ion collisions provide an abundant source of particles and antiparticles, producing nuclei and the corresponding antinuclei at nearly equal rates. This allows ALICE to make a detailed comparison of the properties of the nuclei and antinuclei that are most copiously produced. The experiment makes precise measurements of both the curvature of particle tracks in the detector's magnetic field and the particles' time of flight and uses this information to determine the mass-to-charge ratios for nuclei and antinuclei.

    The high precision of the time-of-flight detector, which determines the arrival time of particles and antiparticles with a resolution of 80 picoseconds and is associated with the energy-loss measurement provided by the time-projection chamber, allows the scientists involved to measure a clear signal for deuterons/antideuterons and helium-3/antihelium-3, the particles studied in the similarity experiment.

    The image at the top of the page is an artist's conception that illustrates the history of the cosmos, from the Big Bang and the recombination epoch that created the microwave background, through the formation of galactic superclusters and galaxies themselves. The dramatic flaring at right emphasizes that the universe's expansion currently is speeding up.

    The Loch Ness Monster's 'hiding place is REVEALED' as body of water gets mysteriously deeper

    The Loch Ness Monster's secret hiding place may have been found by a former fisherman who has sonically mapped the depths of the world's seas.

    But his exciting discovery may also raise questions about how deep world famous Loch Ness really is.

    Britain's deepest loch is Loch Morar, allegedly home to another elusive 'water kelpie' Morag at 1017 feet.

    Previously, the UK's second largest loch, Loch Ness, was measured at 813 feet deep.

    But 43-year-old tourist sightseeing vessel skipper Keith Stewart has found a crevice about nine miles east of Inverness and he has measured it with state of the art sonar equipment at 889 feet.

    His colleagues in Jacobite Cruises, which operates sight seeing cruises down Loch Ness from Inverness, have now christened it 'Keith's Abyss' and whetted his appetite to look for more mysteries the huge water expanse may harbour.

    He said: "I wasn't really a believer of the monster beforehand.

    "But two weeks ago, I got a sonar image of what looked like a long object with a hump lying at the bottom.

    "It wasn't there when I scanned the loch bed later," reports the Daily Record.

    "That intrigued me and then I found this dark shape about half way between the Clansman Hotel and Drumnadrochit which transpired to be a crevice or trench.

    "I measured it with our state of the art 3d equipment at 889 feet, which is 77 feet deeper than the previous recorded deepest point called Edwards' Deep."I don't yet know how long it is.

    "But I have gone back several times over the abyss and I have verified my measurements.

    "It gets deeper from 825 feet to the recorded depth.

    "It is only about a few hundred yards offshore whereas previous sonar searches have traditionally been down the middle of the loch."

    "Searches of the monster have also been in those areas as well as Urquhart Bay so maybe the local legends of underwater caves connecting Loch Ness to other lochs and perhaps even the waters of the east and west coast are true."

    "Obviously it will need more research. But it is an intriguing prospect.

    "It is possible that an underwater earthquake has opened this up in recent times because the Great Glen lies in a well known fault in the earth's crust and tremors have been felt along it.

    "I quit the open sea having been round the world and back using sonar equipment for years and decided to look for something more sedate.

    "Being captain of the Jacobite vessel was something different and appealed to me.

    "I started the job in March but now this discovery has made my job even more interesting."

    Gary Campbell, president of Loch Ness Monster Fan Club and Registrar of Sightings said: "This just adds another dimension - we thought the loch was 810 feet deep and just had a 20 foot diameter hole at the bottom.

    "Now we've discovered a whole trench that makes the loch nearly 900 feet deep which is twice the depth of the North Sea.

    "There could be more trenches which make it deeper.

    "This looks like where Nessie and her whole family could really hide out and explain why they are rarely seen."

    Loch Ness is part of a huge earthquake fault line that runs from Canada to Norway.

    In 2013, there was a 2.4 magnitude quake in the loch - this was when Nessie disappeared for a whole year for the first time since 1925.

    It could be that this massive tremor opened up the trench giving the monster a new hiding place.

    "This now needs real research. No-one has done any real at the Loch for over 10 years. Lets get a submarine down to properly investigate the new monster trench.

    "This summer we hope someone will come to the loch with the best detection sonar in the world down to the depths just to see what is really at the bottom of the loch."
