Hey Buzz,

Do we really have to colour in between the lines? no

Oh yes. 'relativity' not 'relatively'. (Stupid spell checker.)

 I don't understand what you mean. What lines need colouring between?

 Perhaps the inference is that the question is a simple one,and needs no more intelligence than is needed by young children at kindergarten colouring between lines.Just a thought,but Rob may elaborate? Cheers

 Pretty close yobarr,

I see that to present a poll on that subject on a caravanning forum borders on fairly childish behaviour.

One might imagine that he is learning how to use the poll function so that we may be bombarded in the future with questions to support his fanatical agenda on climate change.

Lets all wait and see.

Well it is in the I digress section.

Exactly Landy!

There are many topics started by many people, in this section, that have very tenuous links to caravans.

RE: 'Theory of relatively' quiz.


Buzz whilst I agree in principle with your views on the climate, I don't think that quizzes and polls are a good idea on the GN forum. There are quizzes aplenty on the net, and polls should be left in the domain of the likes of Antony Green. IMHO.

This is a caravanners forum after all?

This is noted as the off topic forum section guys.

I may not agree with Buzzs approach or point of view on everything, but it seems this is the spot to place it. As I said earlier, many place non caravan threads here.

And hes not the first to post a poll here.

Live and let live!

I just thought that I'd lighten the mood with a little quiz. That's why it's in the 'digress' section. I didn't think that I'd be attacked because of a simple poll.

 

Has anybody voted? I don't know if the results will show now or later when the poll closes?

 You haven't been "attacked" Buzz you have been disagreed with and there is a big, big difference between the two which, clearly, you have to learn to distinguish between.

 I feel that being called fairly childish behaviour.

And

Is a personal attack.

I don't see it that way Buzz.

What do others think?

Well, as you asked Mike.

Firstly, I felt the comments were an unnecessary dig at what was obviously a fun poll. A carry over from other threads which are running at present, and which contain personal comments.

Secondly, as this is the I Digress forum, it seems its divergence from caravanning is irrelevant, because as I pointed out previously, many threads here have nothing to do with caravanning.

Lastly, whether you or I think it was a personal comment, Buzz did, and he didnt feel it necessary.

Unfortunately, disagreement without nastiness is a dying art at times in this place.

 That's interesting. It does not present like that on my browser, OS and hardware combination. It'll be the invalid HTML that's causing that.

 

Thanks for the stat's landy.

The poll has closed and here is the answer:

 

Galileo contrived the theory of relativity. 

 

Einstein wrote the theory of special relativity and general relativity. (Possibly because Galileo had already come up with the theory of relativity he needed new names.) aww

Fun fact: in his theory of general relativity, Einstein made many theoretical predictions. Most, if not all, of these predictions have been proven to be true by experiments and observations. 

 

It's was almost 100 years after publishing the general theory of relativity that his prediction of gravity waves was observed in 2015 by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Einstein was one smart cookie. He made all this stuff up in his head.  

Einstein's theory has always been proven right except at the extremities of the space time continuum. That is, in black holes, where the gravity is so strong that the mathematics fail and at the scale of atoms where quantum theory rules. 

I hope that you liked this quick quiz.

Just going through some old posts and saw this of yours.  Nice one.

 I loved My Favourite Martian when I was a child. Though I don't remember the episode about the Theory of Relativity.

Sorry Buzz but you have it totally wrong. Donald Trump is actually the master mind behind his theory of relativity. He has as many of his relatives in powerful seats that he is allowed. Now Donald was a very underestimated scientist. His thesis on the drinking of bleach to avert the covid virus was ground breaking. His idea of staring at the sun was world class and drew much acclaim from his followers. His dogged determination as president of the USA is an inspiration for all....in his mind he is still the president and no matter what the truth or facts are..he is still president. He may not be remembered much as a renowned scientist but as a egotistical looney he is world class.
