rumour has it the good people at CERN are constructing a biggun

now; you stop it as well :moo::p:laugh:

now i'm all :ffsparr:

shit. you sucked me in there you blighter. you enjoy this don't you! whoosh has got 2 H's in it so it's still 2-0 to me, you filthy, dirty leeds blighter

bollox trig; and also; it's spelt; wHooooooooooosh! 2-0 (you are leeds)

it's bloody neap, man, NEAP. i introduced you to it, AND FUGGIN SPELT IT FOR YA :facepalm::dunce: your pedant crown is slipping chap :shootself

you are almost on the money. it takes energy to form atoms into molecules, so if you split them, energy is released (see Krebs cycle) when you (not you i hope) split an atom, you are messing about with the strong and weak nuclear forces; which can unleash far more energy than gravity and...

i can see you from my bathroom :wink:

are there racing snakes at the bottom?

that bloke's missed a trick hasn't 'e :facepalm::dunce: if 'e lost the little batteries and powered his contraption wiv the norwegian fellahs machine; we're in!!! Triggaaar ; OVER TO YOU :thumbsup::bowdown::bigwave:

stop iiiiit. that would only provide POTENTIAL ENERGY. you still have to put some effort in

you can FU(K RIGHT OFF, you didn't know anything at all about neap tides, (so i've won this one)

correct me where i'm wrong; but eh? molecules have more PE, usually, cos atoms are bonded together to form molecules by energy. AIUI, all matter is trying to turn into iron cos it's the most electrically efficient structure (outside SUPER MASSIVE black holes)

there's blimmin' 17 on wiki, so...

indeed, the gravitational pull of the earth and moon slows the spin of both

well they appear to be; let me choose my words carefully here; vaguely the same size disc in the sky, cos one is 400 times bigger and 400 times further away. when the sun and the moon align on the same side we get our neap tides (the highest) ithangu :bowdown:

soz for my stupidity, but do you know how to get from "strawmanned" to that? and that's a typo isn't it? i'm wandering around hove now but all i can see is this pulsating red light, must be aliens, dropping off the proper perpetual motion machine :banana::banana::banana:

gravity doesn't CREATE potential energy. some energy HAS to be used to move whatever matter(stuff with mass) AGAINST the local gravitational force; be it, (as Triggaaar rightly points out); water up a dam in the guise of a clouds forming, or that FU(KIN BALL! :shootself:shootself:shootself

in this instance Triggaaar is not being pedantic, he is tenaciously explaining repeatedly demonstrable observations, the laws of physics, and other people don't get it. simples

we are not home and dry yet; not even home and vigorously towelling ourselves off!
