A new game
There's a new game that started up on the Bad Science Forum that's been amusing me over the past week.
Basically the idea is to visit the Daily Mail and Daily Express websites, find one of their hilariously inventive articles that use the very best combination of bad science and scaremongering, and add a comment. The trick is to try and out-daily mail the average Daily Mail reader. Like this.
It's very amusing. In some cases it is hard to work out if some of the posters are playing the game, or they are genuine readers. Others are obvious fakes. I also have a feeling the Mail is going back through and deleting some of the more obvious ones.. I guess they've been tipped off.
I've had my own go at making a fake ID and posting, but its harder than it looks. It really takes some effort to get into the mindset of a Daily Express reader.

Its political correctness gone mad!
Think of the children!
Its a disgrace to those who fought for the flag!
What a waste of tax-payers money!
Bloody immigrants!

How would you describe the fourth dimension? Is it a box made using boxes or a box moving through time or something else?

The fourth dimension as far as I know Lucinda is still regarded as Time.

Gee thanks - I am a bit simple. I know that one number describes a line; two numbers describe a box, three number describe a cube and four numbers describe a hypercube (An object that exists in four spatial dimensions) Think pixels inside the cube!
The so called Calabi-Yau shape has six additional dimensions along with the three spatial dimensions and the dimension of time making 10 dimensions.

Since nothing is solid - well something might look solid, but it is just vibrating energy. The slower it vibrates the more solid it looks and the faster it vibrates the more ethereal and transparent it appears or it disappears.
Do females vibrate faster well they walk faster! Can a higher vibrational energy influence a lower vibrational entity? What happens to males that just start vibrating faster?
I was just thinking whether entities can exist in the fourth dimension and have some influence over us living in our holographic three dimensional space.
