JonW Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I learned that the short posterior ciliary artery is one of approximately seven branches of the ophthalmic artery which pass around the optic nerve to supply the eyeball. Dividing into some 15-20 branches, they penetrate the sclera adjacent to the optic nerve, supplying the choroid and ciliary processes. My girlfriend is studying for her Opthalmic Optician finals!!!

chilli Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Boiling water freezes quicker than cold water. surely that's not true? an old wives tale?

chilli Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Apparently: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/hot_water.html Interesting read Trev I do vaguely remember hearing about it but it's so counter intuitive I think I'd since kinda dismissed it. Notice though it's only under very specific conditions, not a general case (the vast majority of cases will behave as expected). Still odd all the same and as yet not fully explained, I feel some shed experiments coming on lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I talked to you the other week! Im not sure i would classify that as specifically talking Do you appreciate the warm glow of a blank screen? Find the silence comforting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Apparently: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/General/hot_water.html That's absolute tosh The claim is that hot WATER freezes faster than cold WATER, therefore you can't introcude the side effects of environmental factors as a mechanism to prove such. The most I can get from that web page is that hot water sometimes appears to freeze more cuickly that cold water, but this is largely down to experimental error. It doesn't sound like it hasn't ben explained yet, rather that no-one has been sufficiently bothered to design a reliable, repeatable experiment to investigate it yet.

tbourner Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Fair enough, I get funny things go on with my thermal testing at work so could have believed it was true. On a more interesting note, Digs, have you added that 't' into your sig? I'm sure it wasn't our lord and saviour mentioned in there before!!
