ChutneyLove Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Phil Hughes the Aussie batsman has just passed away after getting that ball off the heid the other day. Only 25. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 That's the vessel giving the light not the moon. As for your last bit, surely God will just say "Let there be light" again. Problem solved.I think I would argue that relected light is indeed being given off by the moon. It is the moon's surface that is causing the reflection and therefore giving off the light. If you had a lamp in a room and positioned a mirror next to it, there would all of a sudden be twice the amount of light in the room (minus the mirror's absorbtion level - negligible but still measureable). Take the mirror away and the light in the room halves (almost). It could then be argued that the mirror was giving off the light. Similarly, the moon is giving off light, albeit not the source of the initial energy. Apologies for bringing up an almost 11 month old post, but it's been bothering me. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Aye sad story that one. Feel sorry for the bowler too. Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Tough on Sean Abbott too. As Roberto says, it'll be difficult for him to play again. You couldn't imagine him ever bowling a bouncer again and that removes an integral part of his game. Bouncers are part of the game, whatever anyone says their aim is to unsettle the batsmen and the bowler is aiming for the head for maximum effect. Obviously you don't expect to kill someone. A few of my friends played cricket growing, one of them was apparently a very accomplished player. He gave up playing because he reckoned that as he got older and the bowlers became faster, it became a pretty terrifying prospect and batting stopping becoming enjoyable. Link to comment

E-P-K Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 You can apologise again for being wrong. You don't get more light from a mirror. The laws of reflection suggest you do. Anyway, tragic what happened to Hughes, sad shit Link to comment
The Boofon Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yes you do you stupid cunt.When you stand in front of a mirror, what you see is the conservation of energy in action, working its magic on light. Light is energy traveling at high speed (300,000 km or 186,000 miles per second) and, when it hits an object, all that energy has to go somewhere. There are three things that can happen when light hits something: it can pass through (if the object is transparent), sink in and disappear (if the object is opaque and darkly colored), or it can reflect back again (if the object is shiny, light-colored, and reflective). Either way, the conservation of energy is at work: there is just as much energy around before light hits something as afterward, though some of the light may be converted into other forms.

alscotoz Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 2015 Cricket World Cup started today. Oz humiliating English atm. Don't know the odds but a few quid on the Kiwis might be a sound investment...even though I'd be surprised if Oz didn't win the cup. My sons asked me if Scotland were any good at cricket.
