Don't let all these strange chat logs fool you. This is what really goes on in a typical chat:
Darthlord Ragnos: Quantum physics is fun Sasami Android: Hmmm.... Sasami Android: It is. Sasami Android: I'm currently reading a book about Quantum physics. Darthlord Ragnos: Like there is there paradox about a single photon traveling to paths that I think I've solved ArsThaumaturgis: Oh? Sasami Android: *nods* Darthlord Ragnos: SA has heard this Sasami Android: yep!  Sasami Android: And I think he may be right. Darthlord Ragnos: I'll go find the graphics I used earlier Darthlord Ragnos: If you scroll down you'll run into pictures of photon generators and beam splitters ArsThaumaturgis has left the room. Sasami Android: Awww...he's gone. Darthlord Ragnos: Darn Darthlord Ragnos: He'll be back I think Sasami Android: Okay. Darthlord Ragnos: He had an error Sasami Android: Ah, that sucks. ArsThaumaturgis has entered the room. Darthlord Ragnos: WB ArsThaumaturgis: Right. ArsThaumaturgis: *glares at chat* Sasami Android: Welcome back! Sasami Android: *pokes Thaum* Why did you leave? Darthlord Ragnos: as I was saying scroll down and look for the photon generator and beam splitters ArsThaumaturgis: There was some error or other... Darthlord Ragnos: http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~we stside/quantum-intro.html ArsThaumaturgis: Ah, on my way... Darthlord Ragnos: That is the situation I'm going to try to explain Darthlord Ragnos: Give me a holler when you ready to continue ArsThaumaturgis: Sure. ArsThaumaturgis: I have a few other things going, so it may take a little bit of time... as I said, my multitasking is limited. Darthlord Ragnos: Now we should all know, or take my word for it that, the wave nature of light is due to probabilty functions for position and momentum as described by Schordingers equation ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed. ArsThaumaturgis: *still reading* Darthlord Ragnos: Well looking closely we see that one path consvers the particles momentum while the other consevres its position realative to the motion of the beam of light ArsThaumaturgis: Is this coming from the uncertainty principle? Darthlord Ragnos: I contend the the probablity functions split at the first beam splitter and recombine at the second Darthlord Ragnos: yes a bit ArsThaumaturgis: What makes you say that? Darthlord Ragnos: But this only occurs while the states are supposed ArsThaumaturgis: Supposed? Darthlord Ragnos: Both states exist at the same time Darthlord Ragnos: I can't spell ArsThaumaturgis: Ah. ArsThaumaturgis: Heh. Darthlord Ragnos: One path is better for the position function while the other is better for the momentum one Darthlord Ragnos: So they go their seperate ways. Darthlord Ragnos: The position of the actualy photon jumping randomly between them. ArsThaumaturgis: Ah, I see... Darthlord Ragnos: Once observed however the photon collaspes into one path and the effect is destroyed ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed. Darthlord Ragnos: One of the flashes of insight I had recently ArsThaumaturgis: Yes? Darthlord Ragnos: yes what? Darthlord Ragnos: Wrong window? Sasami Android: Darthlord Ragnos: v_v ArsThaumaturgis: Ah, no, I didn't realise that you were finished Darthlord Ragnos: Yeah thats about it Sasami Android: Heh.ArsThaumaturgis: Cool. Darthlord Ragnos: For now ArsThaumaturgis: What do you forsee for this? Darthlord Ragnos: I usually refine these things over time ArsThaumaturgis: Fair enough. Sasami Android: Huh... ArsThaumaturgis: It certainly sounds correct. Darthlord Ragnos: Nothing really but every bit of understanding helps ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed. Sasami Android: I got some rep recently.... Sasami Android: weird. Darthlord Ragnos: The problem with this one is that is doesn't want to refine ArsThaumaturgis: Why not? Darthlord Ragnos: I have yet to find the flaw. Darthlord Ragnos: It seems so correct. Darthlord Ragnos: But that might change the more I learn ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed. ArsThaumaturgis: Tell me something... Darthlord Ragnos: Yes? ArsThaumaturgis: I was thinking about wormholes, and about the curvature commonly associated with them... how would a ship survive that? It looks disturbing like the curvature of a black hole, which would tear anything to atoms... ArsThaumaturgis: Or am I missing the point somewhere? ArsThaumaturgis: *diturbingly* ArsThaumaturgis: narg. ArsThaumaturgis: *disturbingly* ArsThaumaturgis: There. Darthlord Ragnos: Because Viable wormholes have massive of negative gravitational energy stuffed in their mouths ArsThaumaturgis: Yes? Darthlord Ragnos: amounts* ArsThaumaturgis: So the curvature itself isn't a problem? Darthlord Ragnos: It's the only way to keep them stable ArsThaumaturgis: Of that much I'm aware... Darthlord Ragnos: Not really because the negative gravity counters that ArsThaumaturgis: Ah, fair enough Darthlord Ragnos: Remember Gravity is curviature ArsThaumaturgis: True... ArsThaumaturgis: Hmm... Darthlord Ragnos: negative gravity is just curves in the other direction. ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed... Sasami Android: *is listening intently* wow. ArsThaumaturgis: Another thing... Darthlord Ragnos: That and any society able to generate that much negative gravitation energy should be able to protect their ships from a lot ArsThaumaturgis: But from black hole physics? ArsThaumaturgis: would a ship passing through that curved and stretched space change to fit the curvature, or would it experience the space as being bigger than it started off as? |

(Went over limit)
Darthlord Ragnos: It's just intense gravity Darthlord Ragnos: That I belive depends on location of the observer ArsThaumaturgis: True, but calling black hole gravity intense is like calling the surface of the sun "rather warm"... Sasami Android has left the room. Darthlord Ragnos: On the ship and the ship itself conform to it. Darthlord Ragnos: and see no change at all ArsThaumaturgis: Ah... Darthlord Ragnos: Those isolated see a the change Darthlord Ragnos: like Lorents comtractions Sasami Android has entered the room. Sasami Android: Back. ArsThaumaturgis: So a trip through a wormhole would be no longer than the sum of half the sizes of the two mouths... Darthlord Ragnos: of course it would be nice if we could isolate a ship from the space time around it. Sasami Android: *blinks* ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed. ArsThaumaturgis: Warp drive. Darthlord Ragnos: That depends on the speed of the ship Sasami Android: Hey. Sasami Android: Y'all should save this chat. you know.... ArsThaumaturgis: But I would think that the wormhole would be likely to be more effective... Darthlord Ragnos: and the nature of time flow in the space between the end os the wormholes ArsThaumaturgis: Hmm... Darthlord Ragnos: They could also be more costly energy wise. ArsThaumaturgis: I'm a bit skeptical of wormhole time machines. (Well, time machines in general) ArsThaumaturgis: True... ArsThaumaturgis: One would have to work out the relative efficiency of both... Darthlord Ragnos: It doesn't have to be a time machine ArsThaumaturgis: What do you mean, then? Darthlord Ragnos: The gravity inside it could do strange things to time flow Darthlord Ragnos: Just like a black hole. ArsThaumaturgis: Ah. ArsThaumaturgis: So it might take longer than it should? Darthlord Ragnos: or shorter ArsThaumaturgis: From an external point of view, that is... ArsThaumaturgis: Ah. Darthlord Ragnos: But that is what matters in this case Darthlord Ragnos: The observers on either end ArsThaumaturgis: Well, I would think that the people in the shi would have something to say about that... ArsThaumaturgis: *ship* Darthlord Ragnos: They will never know Darthlord Ragnos: To them time will keep a constant flow ArsThaumaturgis: Ah, of course, you ArsThaumaturgis: *you're right* ArsThaumaturgis: *shakes head* My mistake. ArsThaumaturgis: So, how would you ensure that the time distortion make the trip shorter and not longer? ArsThaumaturgis: *makes* Darthlord Ragnos: You can't really Sasami Android: *goes to sleep* ArsThaumaturgis: Ah. ArsThaumaturgis: Pity. ArsThaumaturgis: So you would be taking pot luck each time? Darthlord Ragnos: Unless you can control the nature if the innards of the wormhole ArsThaumaturgis: True... ArsThaumaturgis: And that would be tricky, to say the least. Darthlord Ragnos: which whould take even more energy ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed. Darthlord Ragnos: which is making space time isolation sound better ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed. ArsThaumaturgis: But wormholes could still be useful for priority transportation. Darthlord Ragnos: If you set up a perminate one with a set temporal distortion ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed. Darthlord Ragnos: Then you also have to deal with the time zone differences ArsThaumaturgis: So, warp to new places, and set up a wormhole to your last point... ArsThaumaturgis: Rather like Contact, in fact... ArsThaumaturgis: And am I correct in thinking that collapsing the wormhole while a ship is halfway through would end up with a bifurcated ship? Or an obliterated one, since a momentary singularity would form...? Darthlord Ragnos: If it takes longer in the wormhole then you could end up arriving years after the warpship ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed... Darthlord Ragnos: Yeah thats destruction ArsThaumaturgis: Well, you could always collapse ones that aren't good enough, and try again... Darthlord Ragnos: Now pinching the ends shut gets you a pocket dimension ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed... ArsThaumaturgis: That could be very useful. ArsThaumaturgis: On the other hand... how would you get out? Darthlord Ragnos: Opening the end again ArsThaumaturgis: You'd have to keep a hold on it, then. Darthlord Ragnos: You can leave room for signal to escape Darthlord Ragnos: just not an object ArsThaumaturgis: Good point. ArsThaumaturgis: Heh, excellent for secret meetings! Darthlord Ragnos: Very Darthlord Ragnos: No one can hear or get insde ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed. ArsThaumaturgis: An excellent inner sanctum, all in all... Darthlord Ragnos: Which people in Calvinball didn't understand when I made one. ArsThaumaturgis: Heh, true... although most of us subscribe to the "it'smagic" theory of transportation... Sasami Android: *rubs eyes* Sasami Android: I have to go to bed now. ArsThaumaturgis: Sure... it must be quite late for you. Man we are such geeks sometimes. |

In this convo my friend was helping me practice being naive... ^^;;; haha. Don't ask why.
Friend says: *girl holding basket of fruit* "I like your mangos. Jessa-chan-lookin' for some gil. says: (am I holding the fruit?) "Really. I think they're pretty good too. Even though I tend to like apples a little better than mangos..." Friendsays: (er...yes) Friend says: "Ah...So you like APPLES, eh? Friend says: Do you SELL your mangoes? Jessa-chan-lookin' for some gil. says: "Well... I guess it would depend on how much someone is offering" Jessa-chan-lookin' for some gil. says: "Would you like some mangos?" Friend says: "how about a hundred bucks?" Friend says: "if they're yours, sure!" Jessa-chan-lookin' for some gil. says: "Wow, a hundred bucks? For mangos? Well, I don't think my mangos are much betterthan anyone elses mangos." Friend says: "Well, yours are bigger." Jessa-chan-lookin' for some gil. says: "I dunno, his mangos look pretty big too." *gestures to a guy holding fruit* Friend says: "you're right. But I like your mangos. I'm not gonna pay for his!" Jessa-chan-lookin' for some gil. says: "But maybe his mangos are better than mine. I think he just got his today. I've had mine for awhile." Friend says: "sure looks like it. So, can I taste your mangos or not? Jessa-chan-lookin' for some gil. says: "Well, are you gong to pay for them? I don't wanna just let you taste them for free. I may be a nice priestess but I've gotta have some standards, right?" Friend says: "Right. How about a drink-nonalcoholic, of course,-and I'll buy your mangoes" Jessa-chan-lookin' for some gil. says: "Alright! sounds fun. Are you paying for my drink though?" Friend says: "I'll pay for all of them. Enough drinks and mangoes to last the week and to stop hunger and thirst" Jessa-chan-lookin' for some gil. says: "Wow. You're a rather generous person. Have you ever thought of giving to charity?" Friend says: "I've given so many people what they want." Jessa-chan-lookin' for some gil. says: "Really? And you still have the energy to keep on giving? How do you do it?" Friend says: "I'm rich, I'm bored. And always hungery....for adventure and....charity...giving...yeah.."

Remind me to summon a Tentacle Monster the next time I'm in chat, it's been too long apparently since I did something funny.

rhyme wars!
clollieman: But it's new when in song!
Andreek M: what about when no one sings along? Andreek M: oh crap, we're writing lyrics as we speak. Andreek M: and this could go on for a week clollieman: "Avenue Q - The Internet Is For Porn" clollieman: Puppet Broadway-squé Music. Andreek M: that didn't rhyme Andreek M: got the time? clollieman: Broadway-squé rhymed! Andreek M: or not, i think you'll find clollieman: You're just trying to make a rhyme outta everything I type! ArsThaumaturgis: *blink* I disappear for a few minutes and the chat gets really, really weird... clollieman: Squé = Pronunced "squaye". Squé rhymes with way, as in the broadway way. So there! clollieman: Chats are always weird clollieman: Expecially in voice! ArsThaumaturgis: Heh, indeed _^ ArsThaumaturgis: * *ArsThaumaturgis: Unfortunately my connection isn't good enough for voice... Andreek M: none of that rhymes Andreek M: what crimes! clollieman: Try rhyming orange! clollieman: How bad's your connection? ArsThaumaturgis: Very bad. Andreek M: an orange? ArsThaumaturgis: Let's just leave it at that. Andreek M: I believe you can buy them in florenge clollieman: Gah @@ ArsThaumaturgis: Otherwise I'll start ranting about telecoms monopolies... ArsThaumaturgis: And then my eyes will start glowing, and something might end up in pieces... ArsThaumaturgis: Or burning. clollieman: Or in pieces while burning? Andreek M: but now the tide is turning ArsThaumaturgis: Or screaming in unutterably agony when I do extremely evil things to its captured soul. ArsThaumaturgis: So don't get me started on local connections. clollieman: Dial-up, eh? clollieman: SILVER! ArsThaumaturgis: Indeed. ArsThaumaturgis: And other connections are prohibitivly expensive. clollieman: S`ok, it's dial-up over here too. 31kbps. Yahoo doesn't seem to care, it just sends voice. ArsThaumaturgis: Ah. ArsThaumaturgis: Over here the voices come out too choppy to really make out. clollieman: Yeah, same here. Best way to combat that is to close down anything that can use an internet connection. Everything except Windows and Yahoo. clollieman: Or AIM, MSN, either iether really ArsThaumaturgis: It might work... I must try it sometime. Thanks. ArsThaumaturgis: Well, I must be going... I'll catch you around clollieman: No probs ^^ clollieman: H`okies, toodoloo Thaum ArsThaumaturgis: See you. OnlineHost: ArsThaumaturgis has left the room. clollieman: So Andreek! You got a rhyme for silver? Andreek M: yeah, it's something to pilfer *takes his poetic liscense out of his pocket and shows it to chicago before he can object* clollieman: Dammit, the only word that vaguely works! Purple! Andreek M: are you going to give up any time soon? nerple clollieman: Nerple isn't a word! You can't rhyme purple with nerple! Fridge clollieman: Wait, no. Coconut! Andreek M: a nerple is when you twist someones nipple. you are a midge (it) Andreek M: oh please, walnut Andreek M: its easy to rhyme a nut Andreek M: (i am so posting this)

You SO have not won yet! I remember a similar argument with countries and rhyming!
And Africa!

You can't rhyme nut with nut. Your rhyme is pitiful beyond reason. And you have to rhyme coco! That's when things get desperate, and in many cases retarded, when you have to say soemthing like loco mutt or soak a butt or local smut. It gets creative, sure, but any reasonable minded person (obviously, I am not one) would be offended by such abuses of the english language.
