sooey, Shytalkz is obviously still taking this seriously, and he's spelled it out for you.

I'm afraid...

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

he's got it very wrong...

Mere words cannot express how disappointed I am not to able to see the look on your face when the penny finally drops.

Or, to put it in the comic terms that you'll understand, when the penny is formed from the pure energy of truth itself and your embarrassment becomes so massive that it collapses in on itself and eats through to the core of the Earth.

What sooey wrote has been deleted (without any reason being given), which removes any sense from my post.

FYI, he was expressing unequivocal embarrassment at his realisation of the algebraic error.

Well, sooey, I have the utmost respect for your humility.

All the best.

 

[sooey]

Why thank you Softus, I still prefer that lil ole explanation though.

Now do you have any understanding of how your thoughts were mixed up.

Where did you come from, oh I know been standing on the sidelines trying to think of something worthwhile to say, still haven't managed it though.

And Mass equals energy times the speed of light squared

25 = 1 x 5^2 ....according to your method of transposition.... 1 = 25 x 5^2

The ^ represents the 2 as being a square.

Please check your maths before I die laughing...

 

[sooey]

Shytalks, in case you just come back to this thread and don't know that the mod deleted me post where I realised I had transposed the formula wrong. You were right, and I humbly apologise for thinking otherwise. My deleted post was very very humble, honest, Softus even said so.

You seem to be a few posts behind on this one, nowhere in all of this thread have I claimed to be any kind of a mathematician, many times I have said that I have only a laymans understanding of the subject we were talking about. Yes, I transposed a formula wrong (not being a mathematician you understand) but the gist of what I was saying was there for all to see, still is, and is right. Now a few posts back I acknowledged to Softus that I had made a mistake, (this acknowledgement has now been deleted). You I assume had not seen the deleted post when you posted this, (or perhaps you had and thought you could take a cheap shot). None of this alters the fact that in your earlier posts when you questioned my intelligence, you were talking rubbish, and had to have it spelled out for you by me. If you feel like taking any more cheap shots at me feel free, but don't be too surprised if I kick your butt (in the nicest possible sense) again.

 

[sooey]

Thank you Softus, you're a goodun.

 

[sooey]

I've just had a thought (owwh)

I hope them people at cern are better at sums than I am.

No probs mate! I can't follow most of this stuff re CERN and have no idea if I should be worried or not about their intentions; I wasn't even too sure if what you were actually saying (regardless of your transposition ) was actually the same as M=E/C^2, but I did know that you'd written it down wrongly .

Mods are being uber-pedants at the moment then, I take it?

CERN commissioned a study in 2002 on the possibility of dangerous objects i.e. micro black holes, strangelets and er monopoles being produced. It was concluded that 'there is no basis for any conceivable threat.'

They commissioned another study in 2007 because of further concerns raised. This was to be published in early 2008 but I can't find it so maybe it hasn't been published yet? Whatever the new study concludes, I doubt it would stop them going ahead.

I believe it was suggested that if stable micro black holes were created in the LHC, then they must be safe because the greater energies of cosmic rays striking the earths atmosphere and the moon would have been creating them throughout history and without consequence. However if naturally occuring stable micro black holes were being created by cosmic ray collisions they would have extremely high velocities so they would not be captured by gravity and would simply pass through the earth/moon too quickly to accrete significant matter. One concern that has lead to the second study is that stable micro black holes were created in the LHC, they would be dangerous because they would be too slow moving to escape gravity.

To be honest, they dont know do they.

Well i'm only going to build a single storey extension now as come july itll be stretched into a double.

For the record...

To the cowardly and incompetent Mystery Moderator: please reinstate sooey's deleted post, which contained no abuse or unhelpfulness of any kind.

If not, rest assured that I'll be Emailing Admin to find out why not.

sooey's post was not off-topic - it was entirely relevant to discussion in hand, and its deletion makes some of the retained less understandable.

This wasn't an act of pedantry, it was a moderator being either (a) extremely slipshod in not paying attention to what was being deleted or (b) out of control. I suspect the latter, because I've seen other posts go missing, and be altered, silently and without explanation.
