I'm bored. Talk to me.

[Monkey_Face]

Yeah, one of these. Shut up.

No...wait, don't.

 

[warrior queen]

Not sure I should... something about women's clothing and canines

 

[Byron In Exile]

I would like to talk with someone about the Strong Nuclear Force, which traps quarks in a bundle.

How does a force increase with distance?

That just seems so wrong.

And, yet, I look around me, and everything I see, including the eyes I see with, is bound up in it. Else, there wouldn't be anything.

It all seems so solid. But it's just atoms, electrons spinning furiously around a nucleus, attracted by electromagnetism, a nucleus which is itself composed of particles that would gladly escape their prison if it weren't for the Strong Nuclear Force.

Reality seems very totalitarian to me at the moment.

I'm not sure I agree with it.

 

[Monkey_Face]

If dogs weren't meant to be dressed up, it wouldn't make them cuter.


...but that's not what this is about, is it?

 

[butters]

come lay my stair carpet for me if you're bored

I must take the counter position, sir.

Reality is not taking a strong enough stance on many issues.

For example, the problem of the gravitational force being so weak in comparison to the other forces and how that may relate to other universes. My gravity seeping into other universes and planes of existence? This doesn't sit well with me. Reality needs to build a fence or something.

This is either the best sexual innuendo I've ever heard, or the worst offer I've ever received.

 

[warrior queen]

...but that's not what this is about, is it?

You got me
Next time I'll have to remember to hull the strawberrys AFTER I wash them.

 

[butters]

really. it was the latter. i don't do sex with monkeys, just sayin'.

 

[Monkey_Face]

Strawberries? I'm confused. I'll assume we're speaking in code now.

The crow flies at midnight.

 

[Monkey_Face]

Alright, make you a deal, you buy me a ticket to the UK and I lay the carpet.

 

[warrior queen]

Strawberries? I'm confused. I'll assume we're speaking in code now.

No code. I hulled the strawberries, then washed them, and then dunked them in Grand Marnier... and I think the alcohol may have displaced all the moisture.
I'm feeling slightly tipsy

 

[Monkey_Face]

No code. I hulled the strawberries, then washed them, and then dunked them in Grand Marnier... and I think the alcohol may have displaced all the moisture.
I'm feeling sligtly tipsy

I am slightly disappointed we're not doing code. Had my code name ready to go and everything...

But that sounds like a pleasant...evening? I have no idea what time it is where you are.

I don't see that as a counter-position, actually.

Gravity, as the weakest force, is basically the bitch of the rest of them. However, while the others endeavor to keep matter from blowing apart, Gravity appears now to be running the show.

How is it that we can walk around on this planet without flying off into space? Gravity. Without it, we all would be sucking vacuum.

But it works like Electromagnetism: it gets weaker with distance.

My issue with the Strong Nuclear Force is that it doesn't work that way. It's the opposite of the other three: it gets stronger with distance. That's just... who in the hell thought that up? And everything I see and everything I experience is a result of this bizarre twist, and I am not entirely comfortable with it.

I want an explanation.

It is 2129.
I'm sorta watching the first episode of this show called 'revenge'.
First time watching tv in weeks... lying across my bed with the tablet in one hand and a strawberry in the other.

Edited to say - it's 2141 now.
I got caught up eating and watching!

 

[Byron In Exile]

You have too much coffee already.

If there is a God, or if there are gods, then coffee was probably their greatest gift to us.

Do not mock them.

So you don't have a problem with all of the parallel universes coming here illegally and using our gravity?

I have slightly less issue with the strong nuclear force than I do an electron simultaneously occupying two points in space at once. And then not even deciding whether it's a wave or a particle, that's just not the definition of matter that the guiding principles of this universe were built on. Subatomic particles these days, am I right?

I agree with this.
With the addition of dunked strawberries.
And good chilli.
And icy-cold beer on a hot day.
And...

 

[warrior queen]

Must be a good show.

I'll reserve judgement till I've seen the second and third episodes.
Then I'll decide if it's worth continuing.
I'm out of strawberries

 

[Monkey_Face]

I'm out of strawberries

The gods have clearly shown you displeasure.

Might I suggest sacrificing a chicken? Or perhaps deflowering a virgin?

 

[warrior queen]

The gods have clearly shown you displeasure.

Might I suggest sacrificing a chicken? Or perhaps deflowering a virgin?

I am considering your suggestion.
Having neither chicken nor virgin, do you think turning on the buglight and zapping a few hundred moths would do?

 

[Monkey_Face]

Only if they're virgin moths.

 

[Byron In Exile]

So you don't have a problem with all of the parallel universes coming here illegally and using our gravity?

No, not really. Unless they use so much of it that we all fly off into space and die. But, to be honest, I believe the odds of that are slim.

I have slightly less issue with the strong nuclear force than I do an electron simultaneously occupying two points in space at once.

That... I really don't have a problem with. I mean, you're an electron, there's another electron... why would you think you even needed to occupy the same point at the same time? The universe is huge. Go explore it.

And then not even deciding whether it's a wave or a particle, that's just not the definition of matter that the guiding principles of this universe were built on.

Oh, it totally is. The particles travel in waves.

The Electromagnetic Force is what makes your computer, your iPhone, and your toaster work.

Subatomic particles these days, am I right?

After 13 billion years, I have to admit that they seem to have a system which more or less works.
