Comunicating with Martains game

[Fred]

525   that would require odds and evens with quite a bit of shuffling around............. a tough job

527  My father always told me, leave the thinking to the horse...........it's got a bigger head!

[JB400]

528. But it has the smaller brain.

[XH29N0G]

529 Hear me out, but I think the original point of the thread was to simulate the time lag in space communication.  Am I imagining something or is the lag varying a little?  Are we seeing evidence of ripples and possibly waves in the space time continuum.  Does the space time continuum change in time?  And do ripples propagate through space time?  I don't know the answer, so if some of you do, please enlighten.

532  JB400 - Zip, that went right by me.  I think I was snorting coffee through my nose after seeing that bird and couldn't even figure out where the number of the post was.  On second pass, I think I got it.  Thanks.  Cool.

533  Back to Mars

I just read something, but I'm not a hundred percent sure whether it is good or bad.  Apparently they did the test on Humans and chimpanzees where they show them a grid of nine spaces with numbers in them and then hide the grid and ask them where the numbers are. They found it the adults humans and chimpanzees did about the same on this test.

The one thing they did find was it the Adolescent chimpanzees did much much better, especially if they only showed the grid for a very short amount of time. The hypothesis was that the Adolescent chimpanzees took a snapshot of the image with their mind, and then referred back to it when they needed to.

My dilemma is that I remember doing that in high school.  At that time I thought it was a good thing.

It probably still is for the victor.......to the victor go the spoils!

[XH29N0G]

535  Cant do that any more - I grew up and my mind got old and uncertain....Also lost respect of both my elders (my dad told me its too bad my grandfather didn't know about that finding) and my youngers (my son asked me what it was like to be a chimpanzee).....

[Fred]

535  (my son asked me what it was like to be a chimpanzee).....

You mean he wasn't joking? Oh dear!

    But you know, you don't have to be a chimp to head into outer space these days.    I think the next shuttle is taking humans.

[JB400]

537

When did they start taking the shuttle again?  Or, could it be the top secret space plane everyone knows about?

[Fred]

538

It was just for want of a better word............ conveyance (the word that came to mind) wouldn't have quite hit the mark.

Hey look! Is that  Spiral Galaxy IC 539 at 12 o'clock high?

[XH29N0G]

540  Thanks for the galaxy lesson.  Here is something I learned recently from a dinner conversation.  Just looked it up, our magnetic pole is now moving faster than it die 30 years ago.

[JB400]

541. I wondered why my since of direction is off.  Now, I know

[DeltaV]

542

What's up?

[JB400]

543

Which way is up?

Happy Birthday to Charon, Pluto's largest moon.  Discovered 40 years ago today

[XH29N0G]

545  Happy birthday Charon.  I was away on a trip, but am now back for a little bit.

Too much interference from Jupiter

[XH29N0G]

548  maybe time enough to think about some pope?

"Could he, whose rules the rapid comet bind,
Describe or fix one movement of his mind?
Who saw its fires here rise, and there descend,
Explain his own beginning, or his end?
Alas what wonder! Man's superior part
Uncheck'd may rise, and climb from art to art;
But when his own great work is but begun,
What Reason weaves, by Passion is undone. "
