Big try at gravity wheel

[Grimer]

ORLY? This is the first I've heard of that.

I think you came to your senses and realized that you would have to pay up the 2000 pounds, and you still wouldn't be any better off than you are now.

Anyone with any sense can see that the non-existence of a self-looping coin funnel is sufficient disproof of your silly hypothesis (which you never bothered to state explicitly.)
     

O rly[/size]
Internet slang, short for "Oh, really?". Used in the following ways; often sarcastic:

1. In response to someone who has said/pointed out something very obvious

2. In response to someone who has insulted you or has aggressively disagreed with you

3. In response to a boring, nerdy comment you don't understand or care about (i.e. a peice of trivia)

4. In response to a comment that seems hard to believe or a lie

Occasionally some will respond to an "O rly?" comment with "ya rly" or "rly", but this is lameand not recommended.
1. A: Dude! Did you see this? There's an eye on the pyramid on the back of all these dollar bills!

B: O rly?

2. A: You're a fucking loser, A Cinderella Story was a shitty movie.

B: O rly.

3. A: Yes, but did you all know that the word "catapult" is of Hungarian and French origin and roughly translates to blah blah blah......

B: o rly?

4. A: My aunt is friends with Lindsay Lohan's agent's sister, and she's said that Lindz is totally not a cokehead, so stfu.

B: O RLY?

Not being a geek I had to look it up.
So I've given the meaning for the benefit of any other non-geeks who might be following this thread.


And by the way,  what happened to the WhipMag TK?

I can easily disprove that theory. I'll send you a cheque for £2000. How's that for evidence.

What a bunch of bouncing heads, I found this morning,

It should be clear to all by now that we have an opinion, a theory and that no known "conclusive evidence" exist that proves that the gravity field is non conservative.
That grimmer had good intentions with tabling his postulate should be accepted. But to leap frog to "fact" will need some persistent observations.  I think some more work and water needs to flow under the bridge to confirm this theory/postulate.

As a hypothetical principle, it would promise great potential

If most of us agree that is the situation, then I think that a good next step then would be to come up with a falsification experiment that most if not all would agree is valid.  Ideally, such an experiment would be one that multiple people could replicate to their own satisfaction.  Towards that, I ask Grimer:  According to your ideas under what conditions is gravity non-conservative?

I see you're still half asleep, Red. It's Grimer, not grimmer. Accuracy is important in science and search engines are a bit dim when it comes to spelling.
