Attila The Hun and Osama bin Laden

I wonder whether Attila The Hun and Osama bin Laden will be treated in the same way in future history, when future kids learn about Christianity. Yo hopefully I will be there as an old shite in a corner in a pub saying, "What is Christianity?".

Earth's Rotation And The Funny Side Of Moon

According to Newton's Laws of gravity; gravity is stronger near the object. So the Earth exerts more gravity on your feet by a factor of one ten thousandths of one percent. Wonder that is why I get headaches for no reason at all!

Even though the Sun is bigger than the Moon the Sun's gravity is half as much as the Moon's. Moon's gravity causes something called a tidal force on the waters of the Earth. Of course you knew that!

But did you know that, as the solid Earth continues to rotate, the continental shelves are constantly trying to push forward the 1.5 quintillion tons of bulging ocean water.' Amazing init?

So this oceanic bulge is found always slightly ahead of the Moon's location in its daily orbit. Between the continental shelves and shores, and the sloshing oceanic water, there is an enormous amount of friction, which is a higher rate than the rate of consumption of electrical energy by all quarter billion residents of the United States.

This makes the Earth's rotation slower by 1/500 of a second per day. So our day increases by a 1/500 second per day. But how come my days are getting shorter as I grow older?? In December 1970 it went up by a second.

OK how the hell do we know this? The total Solar eclipses can be predicted for centuries. So centuries ago some boffin recorded area where it happened. Then a today's boffin calculated the area where it is supposed to happen and found out it was slightly west to the real one. The earliest recorded Solar Eclipse had a difference of thousand miles.

At the same time the Moon is going further away from the Earth. The gravity bulge of the Earth's oceans slightly in front of the movement of the Moon makes it move slightly further away. For an example, when you rock your feet on a swing it moves further and further away from the vertical. How do we know this?

When the Apollo 11 went to the Moon the Astronauts left a curved mirror on the surface of the Moon directed to the Earth. Since then everday a boffin in, McDonald Observatory Laser Ranging Station in west Texas, sent high powered lasers to this mirror. Then they catch the reflection and measure the time taken for the laser beam to go to the Moon and back to a very high accuracy. Then by the knowledge of the speed of light they calculate the distance. The Moon is spiralling away from the Earth at the rate about 2 inches per year! In trillion years the Earth day will be eaqual to exactly one lunar month, and the there will be 1000 hours in a Earth day.

Tazars

In twenty years time we will be very seriously disturbed that we used Tazars against our own people. Checkout the fatalities. Not of people like you or me but others who are not that robust. I, a past robust person, will be one of them in the very near future. So would you.

Harry Patch

To Harry I wish a good life after, if he believes in it. And I am very sorry that you did not get a better podium than the one which was offered to you when you were alive, to get your message across. I wish I done something about it. Sorry my friend.
