Post Something Interesting

Not sure if this is interesting or not but I found it a bit weird.
I’m currently about 4 hours north east of toronto, in the middle of the bush and there are 35 female anglers that also happen to be gay, that are renting a load of cottages for the week.
I didn’t even know that female angling was a thing, never mind that they all know each other and enjoy each other’s company.

There are loads of female anglers around here, not sure how many are gay mind you

I can't say "Shropshire" without whistling. Not very interesting but I've just found it out.

There is a Welsh speaking community in Patagonia. Not sure what the speed limit is...:)

Betelgeuse could supernova any day now (or any day in the next 50million years, but it could happen tomorrow).

If it did happen in our lifetimes it would be the most spectacular thing we ever see and would last for months in the sky.



It would even be seen in the daytime.

If it happens tomorrow how long would it be before we see it bearing in mind that the light we are seeing from our own sun is 8 minutes old.

Good point. It’s in our neighbourhood, it’s ‘only’ 724 light years away.

It might already have happened, 700 years ago.

So we’re not going to see it in our lifetime as I’d say it would have been detected by Hubble or JWST before now.

Saw a really interesting program by Brian Cox yesterday, where he discussed the possibilities of time travel.
He didn’t rule anything out per se, but basically we can and do see the past all the time, because of the length of time it takes for light to travel to your eye and the impulses interpreted by your brain.
Time is reletaive as Einstein proved. And if we see space time as in 3-D we are always moving forward so actually going back in space time is impossible.
