Which one is the 'over thinking, over analyyyyy zing!' one?

[mikizee]

from which album?

[Lo_Lyfe]

from which album?
The one with the crazy cover art.

[mikizee]

ha thats all of them.

the song is Lateralus, from the album of the same name.

I have a tattoo of that albums cover art wrapped round my arm.

Its shit when you have to write an essay on how dark matter effected the history of quantum mechanics.

I'm in shipley

I don't buy the dark matter theory. Too convenient.

Say that it made scientists lazy and proud of themselves, for inventing soloutions to their problems out of nowhere, and hoping like hell that nobody found a flaw, instead of being stumped for decades and then finding a logical answer. Like the GOOD OLD DAYS.

[Lo_Lyfe]

Scientists are cunts, unless their field of expertise is Sound.

Lateralus was the first thing that came to mind when i saw this thread

it does def rate up there, but third eye still beats it, just.

tis great, just about anything from Aenima or Lateralus would do i reckon

also, you've given me an idea. wait and see!

[mikizee]

nice avatar ;)

[Lo_Lyfe]

^^^lol Two Tool 4 Skool

[icy manipulator]

2 biggest tools on the board :cool:

[Lo_Lyfe]

Wait, which 2?

[icy manipulator]

mik's avatar is the cover of Aenima and mine's now the cover of Lateralus

[mikizee]

i dont mean to turn this into a tool wankfest.... but i have some of the rarest tool memorabilia on the planet.

I thought you were just flipping the order of posters on me. Just because I'm in Guns and Roses 2007, doesn't mean I don't know Tool (their album covers, anyway). Do you guys not like their greatest album, Undertow?

[icy manipulator]

aenima and lateralus are my favs. 10000 days hasn't grown on me, and i haven't listened to undertow in ages. in fact i haven't listened to any tool in ages for i'm making up for it now

schism thru to lateralus is just perfect

i was gonna have a rant about Dark Matter, but cbf now

Well it depends what type of dark matter.
Black holes and Brown Dwarfs have been proved by the theory of gravity, theory of relativity and theory of big bang seperatly. And have been observed. So do exist. Despite this the big bag theory as stands would not have enough energy to provide enough baryons to create these creations, and cannot account for the missing mass.
For the missing mass problem to be accounted for there must either be failings in Newtoneon mechanics and Eienstiens special theory of relativity. Both which are pretty sounds and wildly regarded as unchangable. So there must be matter in the universe which doesn't widly interact. And is baryonic. So the theory behind dark mass is a sound assumption.
As for proof. Scientists have postulated that if you lower somethings temperature to absolute zero, so it has no energy what so ever, and DARK MATTER does pass through and interacts. There should be a change in energy. The problem with this is that though many billions of particles would pass through the substance every second, they would be only 1 interaction every few years. Despite this an expiriment is currently under go in the artic.

undertow rocks my socks, im listening to it on vinyl right now.

bottom FTW!

what course are you doing? i used to a course here called Photonics and Nanoscience. pretty interesting stuff, got to play around with some bloody expensive equipment too:D

I do physics. But i'm hoping to specialise in Quantum Mechanics in the next few years as our course becomes more "Pick and mix". I'm loving it!
Photonics and Nanoscience? What did they entail?

the speciality i was doing was quantum entanglment, but you could also major in some chem and micro electronic enigeering ascepts. PHD students in my specialty were teleporting laser beams thru entanglment and stuff like that. but yeah, basically the course was just the study of anything that could have nano technological applications. we didn't have any big ass particle accelators tho :(

My lecturer worked at cern! I'm dead jelous! Its what i hope to do, but at a more advance particle accellerator than cern. What job do you do now if you don't mind me asking?

[icy manipulator]

i'm still at uni but doing mathematics and finance instead. photonics and nanoscience was just too much work. it's a career where you really need to have a PHD to get far and i wasn't keen to spend at least 10 years studying. so i took the boring and rich option over the exciting and poor one. the lab assisants doing there honours after the 4 year degree were only making $330 a week. cbf that

I can imagine! i'm hoping i do well with my physics. If i fail i'll end up a teacher! And thats the last thing i want. I just need to curb how much i party and put more work in. But heck its first year so i'll be ok! Mathematics! I wastempted to do that, finance would drive me insane though.
What uni you at?

[Pres Zount]

Yeah, I'm not sold on the big bang theory either. I'll stick with einstein, thanks. :/

And teachers rule :(

hahaha, funny you mention being a teacher. my highschool physics teacher's brother was a nobel prize winner. finance, is the definition of gay, not only is the maths riduculously easy, but they teach it in a totally different way, so i pay less attention. i tend to do better at maths only because it's harder and more interesting. i'm at Queensland University of Technology but the photonics and nanoscience course was at a place called Griffith Uni. it's the only place in queensland to offer a course like it

at least it makes more sense than Genesis

[sercomdj01]

Yeah me neither actually! There are 1OOOOOO's of mathmatical probabilites for the makeup of the universe. And only a small amount of them actually lead to big bang theory. The rest suggest the universe is infinate and always existed. The reason the big bang theory is most widly known is that when something has a beginning that leads to the idea of a creator. So the big bang theory doesn't go against the existance of a god, where as other theorys do. People who beleive in god tend to side with something that doesn't suggest he never existed.

And einstein. He refused to beleive quite alot of now proven ideas based on his religeos beleifs. He spents the last 10-20 years of his life infact trying to disprove (and failing) theories of quantum mechanics which he deamed as "anti god". The fact he couldn't disprove them suggests there soundness. Its sad that one of the greatest interlects who's ever lived, and someone who could have advanced this feild of science in such a short time if he had have wanted, would disagree with it based on his religeon.

And my parents are teachers!

From The Guardian;

Channel 4's Popworld Pulp magazine has closed after two issues - making it one of the biggest failures in recent times.
Ten of the magazine's staff of 14 have been made redundant immediately following the closure of the magazine, published by Brooklands Group in conjuction with Channel 4, which broadcasts the Popworld music show.

The first two issues of the magazine sold as few as 9,000 copies despite a massive promotional effort, including pushes on the Channel 4 and E4 weekly Popworld TV show and on digital music websites, posters and on radio.

"To be perfectly frank the magazine has bombed in a way nobody connected with it could ever have envisaged," said Darren Styles, the chief executive of Brooklands Group, which also publishes Channel 4's A Place in the Sun magazine.

"Every piece of research we did, every dummy we created and the concept in all its forms was fantastically received from first to last.

"The industry wanted it, the news trade wanted it, the market was there according to every group we asked - but come the acid test the readers were absent."

Brooklands - which spent one year developing the project - hoped to settle at around 40,000 copies after an initial sale of 60,000, bucking the downward sales trend of music magazines.

"The fact is, alongside a human desire to plough on and prove the market wrong, and support the incredible team of people that have pulled this project together, we have an overpowering responsibility to protect the wider interests of our company and its 10-strong portfolio of titles," Mr Styles said.

"This decision, however tough or striking, does just that. We have no regrets other than the outcome, in that an honourable failure is infinitely preferable to no attempt at success."

Popworld Pulp had an initial print run of 130,000 copies, priced at £1.49 and focused on emo, R&B, indie pop and rock.

It was targeted at 16- to 24-year-olds.

About 100,000 copies of a sample issue were distributed at gigs across the UK from the end of last month.

The closure of Popworld Pulp is the second closure of a start-up magazine in three weeks - So London, the luxury property and lifestyle magazine, closed after three issues last month.
