The discussion revolves around the nature of random thoughts and the influences that various activities, such as showering and swimming, have on cognitive processes. Participants explore how different environments and physical exertion can affect mental clarity and creativity, as well as the implications of modern distractions on thought patterns.
Participants express a range of views on how physical activities influence thought processes, with no clear consensus on whether such activities enhance or inhibit creative thinking. The discussion about the physics problem also shows multiple competing approaches and no agreement on the correct method to determine temperature changes.
Participants' claims about the effects of physical activities on thought processes depend on personal experiences and may not generalize. The physics discussion involves unresolved assumptions about the system's constraints and the methods proposed for measuring temperature changes.

It was constructed with wires protruding for a heating element, and then sealed. :) But you could simply shake it or swirl the water and raise the temperature as well. But as OM indicated, you would need a very, very, very sensitive scale.DaveC426913 said:

Well... what music has changed the world the most? (Outside of influencing other music?)PeroK said:
Depends on the era. Back in the 50's I'd say the beginning of the Rock era, and if you want to get a bit more modern I'd say that John Williams has had quite an effect on Symphony (though some don't actually like his influence.)Algr said:

This post has been driving me nuts. If it's just popular music then I could have a good crack at it but to include all music would be so difficult to narrow down without having a detailed knowledge of all the genres.PeroK said:

My grandpa died and his Medical Insurance company kept mailing him ‘Health and Lifestyle’ Magazines. It annoyed me and upset me as he was a flawed man but a good man. After several years I sent them all back unopened and wrote on the front of each magazine.....”My grandfather Joseph Alexander died 3 years ago, please stop sending these magazines to him as his Health couldn’t be worse and his Lifestyle is unlikely to change.”.Hamiltonian said:After you die, you'll still receive emails for years.

If the sun exploded, you would not know it when the wave front got here. The wave front would be moving at very close to the speed of light. Your nerve impulses move very much slower than that, something in the neighborhood of 100 m/s. So, by the time your nerve impulses traveled from any part of you to your brain, you would no longer have nerves.frost_zero said:
