I am inspired! I think I am obsessed with space!

When you say "time," what do you mean? I understand how space can be dragged into a hole, but I don't understand how time, the thing that passes us for ever, can.

What's very odd is that my grandad's name is Richard, and his last name is White. Whenever I see the R. White's lemonade I crack up!

My theory is that since the car is faster than the light, the light wouldn't be able to keep up once it erupts from the bulbs (but keep travelling in the direction of the car)  and simply fall back, so the car would create a trail of light like a comet.

Just like when you throw a rock up and it falls back to Earth, imagine if the gravity was so high that if you shone a torch up into the sky, that the light would just fall back.

Speaking of which, what would happen if we were in a car travelling faster than the speed of light (yes, I KNOW it's impossible) and we switched on the headlights?

What if all the sides are 2cm (presuming it's an equilateral) then we do 2x2 divided by two and the answer is two? Two is a whole number.

That's not me point.

I heard that one! But it was told to me a different way; there was one cat named un deux trois and he tried to cross a river, but un deux trois cat sank.

This is where it gets interesting. Maybe we could start banning..........

I deleted the ones I could of the "tip to make money" posts that there were millions of.

6 to the power 4 is 6x6x6x6x1.
6 to the power 3 is 6x6x6x1.
6 to the power 2 is 6x6x1.
6 to the power 1 is 6x1.
6 to the power 0 is 1.

Therefore, every time we go down one, we lose a number on the end of each row.

So, 0 to the power 0 is 1.
What I don't get is that it's saying here that if you multiply zero by itself you get 1. In simpler terms one is equal to zero.
