Discussion Overview

The thread discusses the perceived quietness in the forum, with participants speculating on the reasons for this lull in activity. The conversation touches on various lighthearted topics, including references to badminton and tennis, as well as playful banter about forum members and their interactions.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants note the quietness in the forum and question whether it is due to a lack of new ideas or the absence of certain members.
  • There are humorous exchanges about the terminology used in sports, with one participant correcting another on the distinction between badminton and tennis.
  • One participant proposes a theory related to "super brains" functioning better in cold conditions, linking it to Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC), though this is met with skepticism and playful challenges.
  • Several participants engage in lighthearted banter about roasting a member named cronxeh, suggesting various humorous scenarios involving temperature and cooking.
  • There are discussions about the implications of freezing cronxeh and its potential benefits, with references to holiday themes and food.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally share a lighthearted tone but express differing views on the reasons for the forum's quietness and the validity of the theories proposed. The discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing perspectives.

Contextual Notes

Some statements rely on informal language and humor, which may obscure the underlying scientific concepts being referenced, such as Bose-Einstein Condensates and superconductivity. The playful nature of the conversation may limit serious engagement with the scientific ideas presented.

Well has anyone noticed it is a bit quiet upstairs? Have all the crackpots
retreated? or is there nothinig new.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Its summer time, there off grooming there shuttlecocks
 
can he really say shuttlecocks instead of a birdie.. :rolleyes:
 
Anyone taking bets on how long cronxeh survives after calling hypatia 'he'? :bugeye:
 
I have a theory that super brains only work when cold, something to do with
BEC, but why should tennis have anything to do with science?
 
hmmm yes it should be a slow...yet gratifying death :devil:

Well, see, there's the whole flaw in your theory, she was talking about badminton, not tennis. :-p

Yes, I noticed it's been quiet upstairs too, and all mixed up to boot! Last night, I spent most of the night in the engineering forum, and then checked in on the biology forum to find all the engineers hanging out there! Russ must have been trying to run and hide when he saw me in engineering after I've been giving him such a hassle about girls vs women. :smile:

Hmm, I think I need to wait for Patty to help me with the spell to raise the heat over there in NY. With the two of us together, we got it up to 300 F in Philly, but I don't think I can do that without her help; I can only get it up to a measly 150 F on my own. :-p Well, unless Hypatia also has those powers and she and I can make it nice and toasty for Cronxeh.

Girls vs women? no one in my circle would call a women a girl :biggrin:

But with BEC won't the cold only sink to there feet? ahhh I get it, they think on there feet?

well..as youknow, I'm a northern girl...so you and Patty cook him, and I'll freeze him until this the Christmas time.
Maybe Danger will toss in some old moose..and we could have a moose and cronxeh buffet!

Oh no you don't, its all to do with super conductivity you see, brains work
best when cold, some thing to do with fridged synapses, what ever they are.

Well then freezing cronxeh just may be the answer to all his problems.

Thats true, forgive me ..it could even be a type-o...or perhaps he honestly just didn't know.

But what shall I have for Christmas?
