What Is Beyond Your Understanding?

[hc4361]

No matter how many times it's explained, how well it's explained, even though I've watched school programmes about the subject (many years ago) and read various books about it I cannot get my head round gravity.

Please don't try to explain. It makes my mind boggle. I accept I will never understand why Australians aren't clinging on to earth by their toenails.

Is anything explainable beyond your understanding?

Would you get perpetual motion by tying a piece of buttered bread to the back of a cat and dropping it off a high building?

[Arksided]

I can't understand people that eat too much and complain about being a planet size human.

I have problems with numbers. If someone was born in say in 1985 then I have to add the numbers to 2000 and then add the numbers to 2013.

It's not a limiting problem, I just wouldn't ever be able to mark a dart board...ever !!!

[emmie]

if you add multiples of 10, so 1985, say to 2015 then minus two.

or break it down: 15 years to 2000 plus 13 years to 2013 = 28.

Kylesmum, I don't think that shows you have problem with numbers. I work it out the same way and I have a maths degree.

This piece of fish: "This is the piece of cod which passeth all understanding" as the Reverend Sidney Smith once observed at dinner.

[Arksided]

I knew those weighing scales had to be wrong with the numbers. You'd think they were running the country.

why don't men rearrange their tackle before they come out the gents?

[Hopkirk]

Oh we do Cupid, but re-adjustment is usually needed.

[cupid04]

I'm glad I'm a woman, lol!

I don't understand
Cricket
Black holes
Why when men go for a wee such a small object misses such a large hole
Why it is the older I get the poorer I get
Why anyone watches Jeremy Kyle

[lady-janine]

is that all you are admitting to mrs o? you can tell us all. you are amongst friends here.

[Old_Geezer]

Don't ask me what is beyond my understanding, I don't understand.

[mrs_overall]

ok ladyj - here is the biggie - I don't understand Bernouli's Equation

[humbersloop]

I wouldn't worry Mrs O, that's why we have the dyno rod people

[cupid04]

I don't understand Pythagoras? Why was I taught that in senior school instead of proper mathematics.

check the equation on this page mrs_o, it makes everything clear

an Indian chief had his three squaws sleeping on animal hides in his tepee. The first squaw slept on a cow hide, the second squaw slept on a horse hide, and the third squaw slept on a hippopotamus hide. Bye and bye, they all became pregnant and presented the chief with his heirs. The squaw who slept on the cow hide had a son, the squaw who slept on the horse hide had a son, but the squaw who slept on the hippopotamus hide had twin sons...

So the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides

[Old_Geezer]

Because you need to learn the basics first cupid ?
