  • That would only be because they are the only other large party. So for the majority of people/constituencies they are the best alternative if you want to vote to get the Tories out.

    All they are doing is comparing the voting at the last general election, polling and then using that two give an option for the best way to vote them out.

    Not sure what pro labour facts you think are on there

    You specifically said “electrons do not orbit with any kind of movement”

    So by your own argument they’re not moving. We know the mass. So if we find one by your logic we know everything about it.

    Yes that is the probability cloud model well done.

    However my point again. You seem to think saying this renders the simile of planetary orbit obsolete. It doesn’t it’s a simile. It’s a way of explaining something that doesn’t have to exactly explain it.

    If someone said “that fell on my head like a ton of bricks” would you go and examine the object and check it was exactly a ton of bricks or that it exactly exhibited the properties of a ton of bricks?

    Or perhaps would you understand something from that about what had happened to them.

    You may find this useful. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simile

    This looks like something from Viz magazine. They’ll regularly have big one page jokes about something and then have these little made up side bits in.

    Whole thing was probably about illegal immigrants taking small boats to the hundred acre wood and then there’s this little bit in the bottom.

    If they don’t orbit with any kind of movement then what does that say about Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle?

    We know their mass. So once observed we would know everything about them.

    Unless your saying they just some how jump from one random point in that probability cloud to another?

    Electrons do orbit like planets in the solar system however they’re also waves. Which is what gives the set radii they can orbit at and keeps it all stable. The orbits can and do change due to the emission or absorption of certain quanta of radiation.

    So saying like is fine. It’s not an exact description but more of a simile to help understanding. They do orbit like a solar system. Saying electrons orbit the same as a solar system would be incorrect. That’s when the maths doesn’t work and the electrons orbit would decay.

    The real answer is it depends how the diver is exerting force as he stands there and what force he has to overcome to jump forwards.

    If he’s using all his driving force through his legs just to stand there then when he jumps up he will go backwards.

    If he was casually standing there easily overcoming the push of the air already then he can jump into the pool just as normal.

    It’s the same as standing next to a swimming pool with different wind speeds. Small breeze = jump in ok. Hurricane = blown backwards.

    That’s assuming he wasn’t trying to jump off the back of the vehicle…






  • Yes but that might not matter. It may only be sticking because the fibers are wrapped tight around the plastic part and the screw creating a lock through that tension. Cut through all the fibers wrapping round the screw and plastic part half way across. So there are fibers running in the gap and out both sides. Then start pulling at them with pliers. Some should come out. They must be able to move within that join or it would have jammed up as soon as the fibers started to enter. Rather than wrapping them round and round and then stopping.

    Also unless you know exactly which plastic that ring is made from don’t try chemicals on it. As you’ve no idea of the damage it might do to it.
