Hmmmm, the static. Radio noise caused be electrons bouncing around in everything? That's about as random as I can dream up short term. Gimme a box of Heiuneken, and I'll come up with something most folk would believe.

it's electromagnetism left over after the big bang, turns out if you fire a frequency off into space is spreads out really really wide and that's the noise you see on the TV and hear on the radio.

anyone know what portion of the electromagnetic spectrum humans can perceive?

The famous Buckminster Fuller quote will suffice (that line from that incubus song)

The theory is mass does pile up at relativistic speeds, I guess in a similar way to the distance change, the apparent mass does too. But I'm not sure how you could go back the other way, antimatter maybe? Someones bound to figure it out eventually right

Dude, we've covered that I'm too stupid to grasp any of this.

Well, instead of being a desk jockey, I lowered the front guard on the ZX6 to have 2mm clearance, if it shreds and hits my face at 230km/h (or sooner, place bets) I'll buy Drew the choc fish, if it doesn't and I lean over the front with my verniers, and it's more than 2mm, Dave gets choccy fish
Tyre is a Pilot Power at 36psi cold on a reasonably humid Eketahuna day

I think Drew will win

no no no no

you have to have the wheel spin up at a nice easy rate, on perfectly flat ground in a frictionless vacuum.

surely this is reasonable?

Sounds easy enough?

Dont worry - its all a simulation anyway

Sooooo, you're using an unreliable source to convince me of something? That's prolly not going to work.

Pardon?! Relax man, it was a joke. I don't want to know if it is, or is not, resonance from the big bang. It makes no difference to me, or my understanding of the universe. I cannot apply it to anything I do.

Has got me wondering though. If it is enssentially an echo, wouldn't it be getting quieter?

I'm not trying to convince you of anything, neither of us is on trial here, believe what you want?

Answer the question, is the white noise getting quieter?

It's coming from everywhere. Eventually it'll all be gone, but for now the stuff we receive today has simply come from slightly further away than the stuff we received yesterday. There will be some tail-off, but how noticible? That's beyond me to answer.
