Pete in Lincs Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Oops, what have I started. Mea Culpa. Don't worry, mate, I'll pay the bail to get you off the naughty step. The good news is, my 'likes' have been re-instated. Perhaps it's a new day starting at 17:00. West Coast USA? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzulscha Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019    Around lunchtime on the afternoon of January 15, 1919, a giant tank of molasses burst open in Boston’s North End. More than two million gallons of thick liquid poured out like a tsunami wave, reaching speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. The molasses flooded streets, crushed buildings and trapped horses in an event that ultimately killed 21 people and injured 150 more. he smell of molasses lingered for decades.    6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Thats Boston what had the big Tea Party and not Boston in Lincs?  On another note; my paternal grandfather took part in the big US Army veteran's march to Washington D.C in 1932 and 1933. He walked, with others, from Chicago to Washington. Don't believe Wiki. He said both the police and army refused to act on the marchers as there were so many US military veterans in those forces. There were only a few small incidents. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FPAQ produces 94% of syrup in Canada and 77% of the world supply. A barrel is worth about $1,200, 10-18 times the price of a barrel of US crude oil. Ahh, but how many million barrels can they produce each day?  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelC Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 On 11/23/2019 at 12:01 AM, Beardie said: Ah @NigelC I think you might be meaning the Photon rather than the electron. Photons are massless which is why they can travel at the speed of light and are considered/thought to be, quantum 'packets' of energy that exhibit the characteristics of both particles and waves. (Don't me sound brainy!😜)  I realise things have moved on a bit in the discussion*, but I was thinking of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment Which I saw performed using a cathode ray (electron) tube in a physics class in 1980-mumble. 🙂  *Or have they merely returned via a loop in Space-Time?

Beardie Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 @NigelC Hmm…. You are perfectly correct and I am incorrect. I was thinking of the very same double-slit experiment but using photons. Of course I should know that, according to quantum mechanics, all atomic particles exhibit wave properties but, when measured show the properties of particles so there is no conflict between an electron being a perfectly round particle and yet behaving like a wave in the double slit experiment. I should check my facts more before pretending I know stuff! 😳 My apologies sir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 There are documents that show that if the invasion of Britain had gone to plan during WWII, Hitler would have used Apley Hall, near Bridgenorth in Shropshire as his personal residence. Â That was the estate that my great granddad was the head gardener and my where my mum was evacuated to. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
