that `Father Christmas` (not Santa!!!) is magical and has a special `key` to open doors or windows to get into houses without a chimney. They bought it.

I cocked up with the `tooth fairy` one night too... I was working late shift and OH forgot to tell me that one of them had lost a tooth so I didn`t put any money under their pillow when I came home. All hell broke loose in the morning.... so I thought on my feet and said that cos he was older he was last in the queue and obviously `Fairy` must have been rushed off her feet overnight but that she hadn`t forgotten..... and she didn`t .. she returned that night.

Phew!

This is how you explain it.

Santa is in effect a quantum wavefront. This means he is capable of being in all the bedrooms at the same time, and yet not there.

It's also why you must be asleep, because if you are awake, and see him there, that will collapse the wavefront and result in one of your parents being there instead.

Simple quantum mechanics.

Trust me, I'm a chimney sweep!

In the end Bil, I got fed up and told them that he had been killed in a road traffic accident.










but by then they didn`t believe in him anyway and told me that I was talking bollocks! but not in those words.... or they would`ve got a smack -that I`m not allowed to give in this day and age!

Well santa will have to lose a lot of weight to get down the new pipe and he will get his whiskers burnt too in December.

Aye right bil, nothing simple about quarks in my book !
And as for trying to work out the rate of energy shift from mass to velocity during the big bang, it defies gravity.

Sub atomic particles are pretty weird, but fascinating.

Thats a beauty bil, one of your best

But it's true. There's a type of quark that can only exist in pairs, - let's call them a left and a right. You cannot have a left or a right handed quark on its own.

If you take a pair and pull them apart, then as they come apart, new particles appear from nowhere so you are left with a pair in each hand.

When you get down to it, there isn't any such thing as nothing, because 'nothing' has texture and structure. It's called quantum foam.

How can you not find that fascinating??

I find this thread rather boring not fascinating!

what did bil say

WHOOOOOOOOOOOSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Well, although I can see the fascination of having two in each hand ....... Why cant you have a left hand quark on its own, does it get lonely? I just had some roof tiles re fixed, I think they used Quantum foam

Science at the fringes is fascinating. Venturing into the unknown and all that....

If you listen carefully to the quantum foam that premeates 'nothingness' you can hear matter appearing from nowhere and disappearing again.

Some quarks just get lonely, I guess.....

The universe is a complex jigsaw puzzle. Each of us is a puzzle in our own right, but we are also a single piece in a larger puzzle. Equally, each part of us in turn is a puzzle made up of many pieces, and so on.

Surely you can't have a lefthand quark on it's own, if you have one quark then it must have a left and right hand, so with one left hand quark you would have two left hands and one right as opposed to one right hand quark that would have two right hands and one left. I think
