Please dont think I have finaly lost my marbles but I have to ask, is there anyone in this Forum that suspects time is speeding up , I was diagnosed with PD in 1999,and as I sit here typing this in the last days of 2013 it seems only this morning that i was given that life sentence I have astonishing recall going way back to when, I was 6yrs old and the time has passed in a few hours, do people with parky have the power of time travel or is it my last three Brain cells playing tricks, I know if you can travel at light speed you can travel forward through time ( unlikely ) but looking back through the eons of Intergalactic time is possible , if you are lucky enough to have somewhere nearby that has no light pollution go there and allow a few minutes to pass after you switch off your car headlights, then look up " on a clear night" and you are looking back through time some of the stars you can see will have died billions of years ago yet the light from those deceased stars is still travelling towards your eyeball, if you do this it will take your breath away, but I still seem as if time is going faster and faster , I have lived in this house for 33yrs and in the next 33yrs I wont be here someone else will live in my home, and the last 33yrs has passed in a flash, oh I WISH i had a tardis.
Good morning turnip, I bought a telescope a few months back and it was almost impossible to get the thing to work , in fact there were a couple of times when it was almost sent out of our solar system , I have just about cracked it now and can see all the planets, mars is distinctive as is SATURN, I still have bother with some aspects of operating the thing some of the explanations might as well have been written in chinese
Good Im pleased you are going to persevere much enjoyment is to be had sitting down the garden freezing your Knutzford, while shivering violently and trying to focus on the chosen target, the moon is fantastic , do you know they had a silly plan to build a pub there, it was cancelled as the builders reckoned it would have no atmosphere.? ILL GET ME COAT.
I met Patrick Moore in york, the Taxi driver not the Astronomer
I agree, our nearest neighbour in the void is moving away from us at about a millimeter or so a year and eventually it will have no stabilising effect on our planet, the Earth will change its trajectory around the sun and we will have permanent ice age or fry,one of these events will no doubt occur just as a cure for parky is announced. Meantime it is good to look at.
When I was 9 just over 20 yrs ago ????????????? I wish , I am 63, I won a competition , I never win competitions, the prize was a seat on the first commercial Space Cruise , needless to say I was delighted , do you think if I present this certificate to Sir Richard he would honour it he seems like a nice chap and its only about £120,000 a seat to leave the surly bonds and soar into weightlessness, thats small change to Richie.
Its taken a while, but your Avatar has a marked resemblance to a certain rather famous bloke that went back to the future, the same person who is in the forefront of the war with PD, could it be the J in your name is Jackson and shortened to Jacko,If this is the case,its a honour Sir, if its not tbe great man MJF then welcome anyway, I admire and respect you for all the work carried out by you and your team .
