I haven't had read all the articles in the thread, missing e.g. yours above...funny, when I wrote my second posting in reaction to your "conditions", I thought of inluding a saying/proverb I saw decades ago on a postcard: we don't experience any more wonders, since we're not wondering ourselves anymore.That fits better here, but I think we all take something for granted at times or get used to it a lot, good or bad.Heisenberg is supposed to have said something like this: the discovering of two new points/facts defines an infinite number of points/facts which lie between them...we get to know something & then immediately we know something we don't know yet so to speak : )
It doesn't end.Here are some things I still haven't figured out: Why don't Aussies get an headache, "hanging down" there...why is the moon sometimes appearing so much larger (must be some optical delusion)...did you figure out the forming of a rainbow?...I saw a book once, trying to explain it(they pretended/thought to have the answer, may be they really did & I didn't understand it) ...I know about the prism-effect of water(droplets)...I don't get the shape though...probably "very easy" for the learned...
some time ago somebody figured out how you'd become more wet: going at a moderate speed through the rain or as fast as possible, so you get away from it.Well, in summer I wouldn't care anyway...summerrain is beautiful (usually...)
But do we really need to "know"?...very educated people have sometimes something very serious, unrelaxed about them, something resembling of being "spacey"...I noticed that before I joined.
I thought then it was funny, how happy the simple people were.
Oh, have some fun (really) to google a bit about the theory, that we actually live in the inside of the earth, rather than the outside...I think an American started that theory at the beginning of last century.Since there is a transformation-
factor to get from this earthmodel to the other,
it's up to us which to choose.I went on websides & very learned astrophysicists said, that there is really nothing from the point of physics you could say against it.But some physicist, who is
fond of the hollowearthmodel said, it's strange, we should have much stronger winds at the equator - in our earthmodel- given the speed of ~ 40000km/24hours there.
I don't occupy myself with that since longer, but
thought to give you some food for further thought
; ) if you haven't by chance heard about it yet.
