RE: Hints So Far : #1 -

Quote:

Hints So Far :

#1 - a real person who might be mentioned in a book about the history of physics.

#2 - sometimes what seems to be very little can turn out to be quite a lot.

#3 - Success and failure in Sweden.

... to which I will add

Hint #4 - some gods have given their names to planets, but what else ?

( edit ) Ooops - 'gods' may mean females too ...

I think it is 'particles' as in 'God particle'!

David said "Well in that case, I will simply point out that I am also a past winner and therefore veto the denial of Scooby Snax to me. Justice is thereby served." And I will of course veto your denial of the denial and keep ALL the Scooby Snax for me, after all I am a growing boy and NEED my Snax! They ARE quite addictive you know, oh sorry I forgot you didn't get any, how would you know that.

ps Phil my rac is coming back up nicely now.

Since true Scooby Snax have

Since true Scooby Snax have jalapenos in them, I really don't want them anyway. I was going to give mine to the local food pantry.

Official guess for this round: Marie Curie.

Anecdote about giving directions: there was a time when the directions I would give a visiting railfan who was unfamiliar with the local geography for driving from the west end of Eola Yard to the east end were "Turn right and go as far as you can, five times." (Of course, the directions for an engineer running a train would be much simpler: open the throttle, release the brakes, and go east for a mile and a half." (Assuming he had permission from the dispatcher.))

:) good evening London time everyone :)

edit: I realise I'm not furthering anyone's knowledge on physics - but that's probably a good thing...

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

[thought for the day] Here's

[thought for the day]
Here's a good chuckle. Vlad turns up at the G20 with two thirds of his Pacific Fleet ie. 4 ships ( one light cruiser, three destroyers - Cold War hulks, not allowed to photo them close up as the rust shows ), two of which have docked here in the last few years for rest & re-supply anyway. Our Navy is getting good practice at watching them watching us watching them watch us etc. So our local media is raving on about invasions, the Reds are coming, shirtfronts and the like. Silly beat-up in peri-election heat. A great suggestion has come forth ( from the general public and almost simultaneously around the nation ) : do the right thing and invite them all in for a beer and a BBQ, rather than have them hanging around awkwardly offshore sailing in circles. Drop anchor off the Gold Coast and come onshore like they usually do, those young lads have got to be bored right ? Just because some of our pollies & journalists are stupid doesn't mean we have to be crap at diplomacy, right ? :-)

Alas no God particle or Higgs, not Marie Curie nor Anders Angstrom, but these are all good tries indeed.

Cheers, Mike.

Since physics is involved

Since physics is involved with how everything works, let's think outside the box. It takes physics to make the Internet work, right?

So, it has to be Al Gore. I mean, he DID invent the internet. It's true, just ask him. :-)

Edit: I say that tongue in cheek. I just like picking on the guy, he's such an easy target.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.
