Ooo, astronomy pictah takin's....wee!

I still haven't had that physics talk with you yet...not that you--being a teacher--would want to talk to someone about that...but one day. ...maybe when I finish reading Brian Greene.

ah, "contraier mofrier". Well, you know what I mean. I am that rare breed of teachers that would love to gab you to death about physics (or anything else for that matter). Thats the beauty of physics, its very conceptional (never said I could spell). The more we think we know, scientifically speaking, the more questions arise. Quite fascinating is some of the ancient faiths of the world (Buddhaism for one) has/had quite a grip on the fundementals of things like quantum mechanics. The whole mind/body thing of many martial arts are steeped in a realm better defined by science than most think. Guess thats starting to show a bit in pop culture as of late (ie The Matrix). Ok, I'll shut up now. :shock:

Man, I read that whole thing, was beginning to feel smart, then reverted back to my old self with the final line on the page.

OK. That made me feal really ignorant and/or just plain stupid. Might as well have been greek. Except for the

5. Turn on the light in the ring by plugging the white extension cord into the auxillary power supply.
6. Turn off all the lights in the dome and close the fire door.

Ok step 5 I could probably figure out how to do. But why? In step 6 we turn it off again! :wink:

I'm probably the rare breed of student that would quite enjoy listening to something like that. ^_^ I'd also quite enjoy seeing the Matrix 2

Ah! Step 5 is illuminating the 'ring' of lights that are mounted on the frontpiece of the scope. Step 6 is actually is actually an a little insider astronomical joke....LOL, I didnt realize Eric put that in the final draft. ALWAYS, ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS turn out the lights and close the fire door when you leave the dome. Geekedom to a new level.

Firia: Get your ass on world and join me at one of my late shows...they often turn into fireside chats of astronomical proportions.

And finally, how did this somehow turn into a Matrix:Reloaded thread

With the onset of of the geekdom thread, I'm bumping this

erh sure thing, I must remeber that :shock:

the effects of the sensitivity variations on the chip, as well as dust doughnuts.

I can understand why chips and doughnuts gets into my keyboard and mouse, but on your lens?

Guess that u can go into quite an eating frenzy at that dome

but it is remarkable how often u can find science hidden in the old religions
