God save the queen?

The UK's queen, Elizabeth, has apparently joined Facebook. Well, really! 

 

Having demonstrated repeatedly that it doesn't even recognize top British TV & film stars or shows, and even having a slave to put toothpaste on its toothbrush, it no more understands what 'Facebook' is, than wipes its own asse.

Horizon: To infinity & beyond...

HORIZON... To infinity & Beyond is now on BBC iPlayer.

It's worth a look > they'll expalin everything I've written below...

Everything you're about to read here seems impossible and insane,

beyond science fiction. Yet it's all true.

Awesome worlds, some totally alien - and some identical copies of out own Earth, complete with us & our

own thoughts too... Scientists believe there's an infinite number of them.

Scientists now believe there may really be a parallel universe - in fact, there may be an infinite number

of parallel universes, and we just happen to live in one of them. These other universes contain space,

time and strange forms of exotic matter. Some of them may even contain you, in a slightly different form.

Astonishingly, scientists believe that these parallel universes exist less than one millimetre away from us.

In fact, our gravity is just a weak signal leaking out of another universe into ours.

Awesome fiction from James Cameron, but mathematically certain to be 100% real in one of the many

of the parallel universes scientists now believe must exist... or rather in an infinite number of them!

The same but different

For years parallel universes were a staple of the Twilight Zone. Science fiction writers loved to speculate on

the possible other universes which might exist. In one, they said, Elvis Presley might still be alive or in another

the British Empire might still be going strong. Serious scientists dismissed all this speculation as absurd. But now it seems the speculation wasn't absurd enough. Parallel universes really do exist and they are much stranger than even the science

fiction writers dared to imagine.

Greater dimensions

It all started when superstring theory, hyperspace and dark matter made physicists realise that the three

dimensions we thought described the Universe weren't enough. There are actually 11 dimensions. By the

time they had finished they'd come to the conclusion that our Universe is just one bubble among an infinite

number of membranous bubbles which ripple as they wobble through the eleventh dimension.

A creative touch

Our own Earth, we think of it, and us as being unique. If the latest scientific theories are correct, there

are actually an infinite number of earths spread throughout our universe, and many more in parallel

universes, many with copies of us living identical lives, and thinking identical thoughts.

Mind blowing, isn't it?

Now imagine what might happen if two such bubble universes touched. Neil Turok from Cambridge, Burt Ovrut

from the University of Pennsylvania and Paul Steinhardt from Princeton believe that has happened. The result?

A very big bang indeed and a new universe was born - our Universe. The idea has shocked the scientific

community; it turns the conventional Big Bang theory on its head. It may well be that the Big Bang wasn't

really the beginning of everything after all. Time and space all existed before it. In fact Big Bangs may happen

all the time.

Of course this extraordinary story about the origin of our Universe has one alarming implication. If a collision

started our Universe, could it happen again? Anything is possible in this extra-dimensional cosmos. Perhaps out

there in space there is another universe heading directly towards us - it may only be a matter of time before we

collide.

A trip to Pandora!

Been reading about our nearest neighboring star, Proxima Centauri. It's only 4.2 light years away, just 30.9 trillion km. Sadly, with out current technology, it would take us over 70,000 years to get there! 


The furthest visible stars are 13.2 BILLION light years away, and by cosmologists' standards, they're still fairly local, at just over 123,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 km away! 


Think of taking a trip there!!

Th biggest con trick of them all?

Over history, the UK has been a tropical paradise, a semi-desert, a temperate grasslands and an icy wasteland. Similarly, the Mediterranean Sea has rotated between glacier thru sea, to hostile desert, devoid of life. The entire globe has undergone natural climate change since time began, and Scientists know this by looking at rocks, fossils and a hundred other climatic 'indicators' of change.

It's obvious our climate is now changing again - a it does about every 150,000 years since its surface first solidified. Things naturally speed up at the end of each cycle, as has been demonstrated clearly & scientifically but intelligent men with test-tubes & stuff. We may be heading to another ice age, or to something more balmy, and we may have pretty horrible consequences on the way.

However - man's influence on climate change is minimal. Carbon dioxide output from calciferous rocks, which erode naturally, is 10,000 times the total of planetary man-made emissions, and other gases known to cause global warming. Man's influence - even at our ecologically most grim, is a mere fraction of what happens naturally - and is therefore out of our control.

Yet Governments choose to frighten us by telling us tales of our grim future, and use false science to suggest man's 'non-green' lifestyle is killing the entire planet. Several scientific researchers have been caught red handed using invalid and even falsified data, the very data used by the UK Government to 'prove' man's role in climate change.

Venus, our nearest planetary neighbor has never hosted life, of any kind, yet it is the Solar System's biggest & most extreme example of Global Warming. Even though, due to it's distance from the sun, it should be pretty much like earth, it's surface is so hot as to be molten, natural global warming in action, in the extreme, no man involved!

The same government, in fact, that is limiting our lives, demonizing cars & vehicle drivers, charging individuals, businesses & communities literally billions of pounds in extra taxes, charges, changing our life-styles and wrecking the world, on 'evidence' which is scientifically flawed and under-pinned by invalid data.

Is there a connection - man is guilty of effecting climate change, and government's reap millions in extra taxes, as people suffer as they are forced to carry the burden? Call me an old cynic.. but I think so!

Global warming.. it's a load of hot air, a massive money-spinner, and perhaps the biggest confidence trick of them all!

AWOL!

But no fear... more updates to follow soon!

Snoozeville Swine Flu Outbreak: The terror continues!

'Mercurial' Reporter Jim Bland, with the flu.

Top government scientists are investigating a massive 

outbreak of Swine Flu at various locations in Somerwest North. 

The outbreaks are centered on Snoozeville-on-Sea 

(population 71,758). The infection is rapidly spreading,

with over 500 people now suffering flu-like symptoms and

with lemons and other pork products being removed from 

public sale and local pigs being sheltered in church buildings 

as a precaution.

Chief Medical Officer Melville Vernacular (below) is suspicious 

of events - suggesting the illness may have a sinister and 

possibly unearthly cause. Shortly before disappearing during

a routine medical procedure, he told Snoozeville Mercurial 

reporter, Jim Bland, that he had analyzed the virus responsible

for causing the flu. He said "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it"

- adding that the presence of dilithium in its DNA crystal 

structure suggested alien origins.

Attempts to contact Vernacular for further comments were met 

with an official wall of silence - a brief statement saying that 

he had had 'an unfortunate accident in his lab' and was 'unavailable'.

Science reporter Helen Harbinger thought it 'unusual' for dilithium

to be found on earth, and that it had only previously been seen 

embedded deep within meteorites from the far reaches of the 

universe, well beyond Bristol. She further commented that it would 

be 'gravely worrying' should alien viruses have made their way to 

Somerwest - as who knows what they could mutate into, and what

havoc they could wreak.

Asked if this could be the beginning of some kind of unimaginable alien invasion, she said that she could not imagine it, and went white, before returning to imagine more imaginable things.

When asked to comment about events, the newly-erected Mayor of Snoozeville, Colonel Sir Reginald Totterdown-Clipping (retired) said 

that Snoozeville was a spiffing town, with lots of attractions such 

as an exciting Grand Pier and a wondrous entertainment center, 

Tropicana, offering hours of joy to every girl and every boy.

Swine Flu Strikes!

Swine Flu affects the Central Nervous System causing temporary 

madness and profuse dribbling. Later, it attacks the skin, causing huge 

warts the size of grapefruits.

Panic sets in in the sleepy county of Somerwest North, where Swine Flu,

(formerly known as the 'black death' or 'plague') is diagnosed in the idyllic 

sea-side town of Snoozeville-on-Sea, famed for its miles of brown sands 

& medically-therapeutic mud.

The outbreak, diagnosed this afternoon is said to involve up to ten people, 

all displaying flu-like symptoms & the characteristic spreading of the nose & feet. All have been showing a particular fascination for raw bacon for a number of days,

another symptom of the illness.

The Salvation Army have been mobilized to seal off Snoozeville, however, the 

roads were still freely open at 5pm, when the nearby resort of Lower Cometville

St. Cleve was quarantined by accident instead due to an issue with a second-hand

Sat Nav unit.

Mike Jobsworth, from the local newspaper The Snoozeville Mercurial said that the 

disease had probably started out at the local superstore, Saintsburg's - which

had a reputation for selling particularly dodgy pork products, including pasta, 

broad beans and full-fat milk. He was not able to comment further , saying that

it would be more than his job was worth to do so.

The Mayor of Snoozeville, Captain Reginald Dunder-Trout (Retired) said that 

Snoozeville was a particularly beautiful holiday resort where one could still get Bed & Breakfast for under £20, recommending Looking Road in the process.

The Mayor is 76.
