Bamboozled!

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Crazy Man: I work on attosecond spectroscopy. How cool is that? You can't make lasers that small
SMB: Attoseconds are small but not like supersmall. Gary Coleman not hte smurfs
CM: There are more attoseconds in a single second than seconds in the history of the universe.
SMB: BAMBOOZLED!

[Melfice]

I'm not entirely certain how small an atto- is, but sure Crazy Man IS out of his mind.

Unless he's one of those people who believe the Earth was created at the year 0. (And even then it's stupid-talk depending on how small an atto- is.)

[Krylo]

Nope. Crazy man is right. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attosecond)

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

Attoseconds in a second: 1×10^18 (A billion billion) 1,000,000,000,000,000,000
VS. Seconds in the universes history: 4.32×10^17 seconds 432,000,000,000,000,000

Crazy Man: Look the sun is about to set
SMB: Not for a while yet
Crazy Man: No, because of light bending in the atmosphere the "setting sun" has already set. The bending is coincidentely the width of the sun itself so when the botom of the sun first appears to hit the horizon the sun has already set in actuality.
SMB: BAMBOOZLED!

This thread has the wrong tag.

Pretty sure that's true too.

Tell us more about the exploits of yourself and crazy man in your heated debate of sciencez.

[Azisien]

Aren't we onto femtosecond spectroscopy yet? Crazy Man is so behind the times.

Psssssttt, look up atto.

I do but I don't recall seeing this on there, haven't seen some of the newest episodes though. I'm not sure crazy man owns a television- he doesn't look like he has the muscle control to work a remote. He twitches a lot.

Crazyman: Did you know that Newton's quote about "standing on the soldiers of giants" which is usually given to show his humbleness is actually a coded attack on Robert Hooke and he was actually incredibly disparaging to everybody who wasn't Newton.
SMB: But everyone says he is a stand-up dude!
C: No he was a total cunt
SMB: Bamboozled!
C: Guess what! So are you!

And then he left. Will I meet crazyman again? Will he once more set down in my local, hat slung spare, whiskeys lined up? Or is he a wandering man, never to return, pub to pub, distolling his unique brand of crazy wisdom.






Or was it a dream!

It was on there like, last week. I'm guessing that's where he was getting his info.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

Probably but I prefer to think he was a mystical prophet.

you'd actually spend time arguing what amounts to teen gossip about people that have been dead for centuries?

[Professor Smarmiarty]

What else would we spend time talking about?

[Mr.Bookworm]

Discuss who will be first against the wall when the revolution comes?

No wait that's pretty much the same thing nvm.

Incorrect use of 'serious' tag when poster should actually be using 'miracles' tag, OP reported:crossarms:

[Professor Smarmiarty]

But if I don't use the serious tag how will people know that all my posts are super-serious?
