Quite an erroneous expectation Galu....we paid for our property and had to sue a top
Edinburgh lawyer for the outcome of doing inadequate searches re statutory permissions
etc....most of which did not exist. We won!!! But their insurers refused to negotiate so
they had to pay £90K as opposed to 42K being the cost of bringing the house up
to the legal standards.

However, the Morlocks harvested the Eloi when darkness fell.
Quite the opposite of daylight robbery! 🤓

Nuclear weapons, my first job outta school was calculating circular error probabilities, I worked in a pink building with no windows. More recently devoured The Making of the Atomic Bomb and The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb, both by Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize for the first one.
Here’s a time lapse video of all detonations in history in 3 minutes. Keep in mind many of these were atmospheric and underwater detonations. Enjoy.

Black Hole singularities don't exist according to Roy Kerr, the mathematician who used Einsteins field equations to predict rotating black holes in 1963:-

I imagine there were a few thousand middle-aged and old men all around the globe cussing because they could not access diyAudio on a Friday night to converse with their fellow introvert nerds while the rest of the planet was partying or down at the pub.
Stunning. The wife and I love Scotland and toured around in April with our Kiwi friends (3rd or 4th trip over the last 5 years) - mainly the Western Highlands and Skye, but we passed through the Borders. When a Kiwi says a place is beautiful, you know it's got to be something special.Strontium is a beautiful place...
The small hotel in the 2nd pic. is just up the road...very comfortable and excellent food.
Good base for Morlock hunting but the Strontium river is not much cop for Salmon.
The hotel started life as a Military Barracks back when it was thought elsewhere that Scotland needed taming!
LOL I have a tendency to nose around here following the evening meal. Then on to other things,
We looked at the Kerr metric a while back and discussed the 'ring singularity'.
The Kerr metric is an equation for a spinning, spherical mass that includes its spin or, more precisely, its angular momentum per unit mass.
Being a quadratic equation, there are two separate solutions which result in two separate event horizons, an “outer” and “inner” one.
Spacetime in the 'ergosphere' is being pulled around by the rotating black hole and so participates in its rotation - an effect known as frame dragging.

Kerr is now saying that there is no proof that black holes contain singularities when they are generated by real physical bodies.

Do you think all those test blasts would have raised long term cancer incidence? IIUC cancer rates amongst the elderly, who would have been kids at the time, are at record highs. Of course people are living longer.
It was stated long ago that they will. Statistical fashion. 😉 Made me wonder about eating Welsh lamb due to levels of certain isotopes in them there hills.
From my archives:
After the Chernobyl disaster on 26 April 1986, a plume of radioactive material was carried more than 1,300 miles to the UK by the prevailing winds.
I remember my Geiger counter registering 36 counts/min - twice the normal background rate.
Because radioactive fallout landed on the upland pastures on which they grazed, sheep became radioactive.
Consequently, lamb had to be scanned by government officials before it was allowed to enter the food chain
The last restrictions on the movement and sale of sheep in the UK weren't lifted until 2012 - 26 years after the meltdown.
It occurs to me that all this quantum stuff is already hard enough to understand, but then the discoverers of it used ordinary randomly-picked words to redefine as these concepts. "Strangeness?" Using ordinary English, it's ALL strange. Up and Down? Direction (whether in reference to gravity or not, and as far as I know) has nothing to do with it.
We run across the occasional word in science and engineering that has a different meaning from ordinary English (and no doubt true in other languages), but Quantum Mechanics is, to use a common phrase, "full of it."
