sorry im french and have never heard/used "english kissing"!! however French style writing is called "english writing" in french a french plait in french is called an african plait
some more french things: you dont get: baked beans, golden sirup, peanut butter, hoola hoops, bran flakes, wine gums/ fruit pastilles etc...in france! and many more things!
err well are you sure? ...maybe its a regional thing?! What we call french kissing, they call English kissing??...no? ok you got me, maybe i made this one up.......
edited for clarity. The reason this principle of relativity holds true is based on empirical observation of muons entering Earth's atmosphere, which travel at very near the speed of light, however have a distinct atomic decay resulting in a measurable and invariant half life. For example, the muon may live for say, half a second as is travelling at 87% the speed of light, which has a time dilation/relativistic mass factor of x2. At 87% the speed of light an object could travel, say, 275km per second (rough hypothetical here). The muon should be able to travel around 138km in half a second, but the muon actually lives for a full second. Yet measurement of its atomic decay within its frame of reference still yields a half second atomic decay. The inferrence is the muon experiences a full second of relativistic life as a half a second within its own reference frame. Speed is a measurement of distance/time (inherently relativistic). To the muon time does not change, the distance it has travelled within that time has doubled. Cut to interstellar travel. Travelling at 87% the speed of light (quite attainable by rather expensive feats of engineering), a Lorentz-factor of 2, halves the passage of time for shipboard occupants relative to Earth. Example: a star system at 50 light years distance is identified to have extrasolar, potentially habitable planets (by spectrography indicating ozone and nitrogen), so an exploration team is sent to investigate in a craft capable of 87% the speed of light. It would be roughly a 60 year journey which would require at least two full generations of successive occupants to make the journey. But due to the Lorentz-factor of time dilation, the journey only takes 30 years for the occupants within the spacecraft, making the journey possible within one lifetime. For all intents and purposes and especially among a space based civilisation, to the occupants, 50 light years has been covered in 30. They have effectively travelled well beyond the speed of light. It is a fact however, that the universe around them will continue to change at its own rates. Thus it is more corroberative to say they had experienced length contraction in their direction of travel rather than had travelled faster than the speed of light. Current physics does not prohibit travel at any speed other than lightspeed itself. A Lorentz factor of 3 is achieved at 94%. At 97% it's 4 and at 98% it's 5. That's 150 light years travelled in the space of 30. It keeps going up sharply like this (parabolic), keeping interstellar travel quite possible within the lifetimes of the crew at speeds very close to the speed of light, without breaking this "universal speed limit." Thus interstellar travel within the human lifespan, according to physics at least is quite possible, just ridiculously expensive. It should be noted that according to some academics, it is so expensive in fact that no civilisation could hope to achieve it. The jury's still out on that one in the scientific community however. This effect is known as length contraction, which is the inherent flipside to time dilation. The "lengths and measuring rods" analogy which Einstein provided in his book on Special Relativity is designed to be purely illustrative of a theoretical concept, rather than a hypothesis of an actual physical examination of objects, for which you would have to be in the same frame reference to begin with... It was designed to shake up existing Euclidean assumptions about spacetime. All length contraction is perceptual, but perceptual (ie. bodies of reference) is the same thing as reality in the physical world and that is a very impacting assertion, the kind of thing which scares disciplinarians and conservatives to death because of its philosophical connotations.
yeah but ya probably would fail wilderness survival. sinking in quicksand (leaving only a had behind) is a hollywood myth. scientifically. you float in water cause the water is more dense than you. quicksand is alot more dense than water so you dont sink in it.(at least not all the way. practically in jungle training (army) we were shown that you can sink in it. (you only get about ball deep) then you float. even with a fella pushing on your back you cant sink to much deeper than mid chest. it was also on mythbusters and they used really fine sand. ....no sinkage. technically your right...you wont sink if you raise your legs and lay on your back
Elephants will cover the bodies of dead elephants with logs to prevent scavengers from getting to the body. In fact, they will also cover the dead bodies of other species, leaving many a drunk person to wake up pinned under a pile of logs in Africa. Though there were no horses in the Americas until after the Spanish Contact, the ancestors of horses evolved there and migrated out over the same series of land bridges that allowed humans to migrate into the Americas. Afterwards, horses became extinct in the Americas. Camals also evolved in the Americas, leaving only the llamas as extant members of the lineage.
Lmao, actually on the contrary, we are actually quite good friends, we just disagree on a few things, well most things, for example, In tekken, Lei is better than Paul, Tma is better than Mma, or Religion Vs Atheism, and um everything else
Lol we spent last night talking about ps3 graphics and the killzone 2 trailer lmao, on the show, MAP we have to put up a good entertainign show bwhind the scenes we get along just fine actually we are int eh elite tekkenshu along with Shantari, aka Tony lol:d
The length we term a 'metre' is in fact different than it was about 80 years ago. It used to be defined by the exact length of a latinum bar stored in the Louvre France but now is defined by the wavelength of a specific type of light. Sharks die if they stop moving forward because their gills cant operate. Bulls aren't actually attracted to the colour red but are highly angered by rapid movement. Certain insects move so fast their visual perception can't keep up and they have to stop to see where they are. A fishes eyes are specially refractive so they can adapt to see clearly out into air from water without being effected by the bending o the light. It is possible to be shot 13 times in the stomach without dying. If your IQ is below 15 you die because your brain can't operate bodily functions like the heart.
oh come on...all i get as a repley is this one lousy sentence. dont you think that quicksand beep! is cool?
-chameleons dont change colour to match their surroundings, their colour reflects their mood/emotions, a background match is purely coincidental -1 out of every six guns in the world is an AK-47 -the largest thing a blue whale can swallow is a grapefruit -a chicken once lived for 2 years after having its head cut off -the chicken's name was Mike -Expensive vodka is made from wheat.

Thats strange, because I have done it. Maybe you're thinking of pushing the top and bottom together. Humans don't have 5 senses, as it is generally thought. They have at least 9. 1. Thermoception - heat 2. Equilibroception - balance 3. Nociception - pain 4. Proprioception - body awareness Of course, some scholars say that there are up to 21 senses: Hunger Thirst Depth Meaning Language Synaesthesia Electricity Danger etc.....
