On behalf of the compassionate citizens of the very large, safe, and environmentally stunning Federation of The Twoslit Experiment, we cordially welcome the representatives of all nations visiting our humble country for the purpose of celebrating the birthday of Niels Bohr, one of the more brilliant and influential originators of quantum theory and a fun guy. We shall be most delighted to show you to your accomodations. RSVP has not yet been sent, because of the recent difficulties in our region, but we will send them soon. We are very happy that the difficulties of recent days have, for the most part, been resolved. We invite you to feshen up in the accomodations we have prepared for you.
Yours truly,
Two

On behalf of the compassionate citizens and Niels Bohr fans of the very large, safe, and environmentally stunning Federation of the Twoslit Experiment, We are happy to announce that the opening ceremonies of Niels Bohr's birthday party will be held Wednesday, June 11, at 0530(GMT - 4)(barring any warps in the space-time continuum) we appologize for inconvenience, but we have to deal with the enire World here.

The celebration will include many of the finest delicacies in all of The North Pacific, including a covered dish from The Holy Empire of Catmonda and the famous Fantastic Borg Birds from the Republic of Borgidiom; the Dictatorship of Saddam Baba will bring their famous staple, the quala;The Rogue Nation of Great Brunonia will be bringing the dried food snacks as well as napkins, paper plates and spoon/fork combination dinnerware. The chefs of our federation will be making their best turtle soup as a special request from the Republic of Kontich. The Federation of Tyraelus will be bringing a few cases of Tyralean Ale, as well as providing the services of one of their finest chefs.

Many distinguished guests have made arrangements to come. Wigner will be bringing his Friend; Heisenburg is uncertain about whether to attend; Dirac will be bringing his Auntie; Pauli will attend because noone will be in his place. Of course, the ever famous white persian kittens of Schrodinger will be frolicing throughout.

There will be many scientific papers presented, including the story behind the Two-Slit Experiment, with reference to Alain Aspect.

There will be a lovely pool party for those who are so inclined, which will inaugurate the new Head of State Swimming Complex, complete with aerobics rooms, weights, cafe and restaurant, and many other modern conveniences.

The Queendom of Luna Celestia will be bringing the largest rare purple blowfish in all of Celestia; the Disputed Territories of Beldom will be bringing culturally appropriate gifts; The Rogue Nation of Boricanos will be bringing their bells which are known throuout the North Pacific for their fine tune and polished symmetry; the Republic of Corpulenta will NOT be bringing their famous Zambonis; the Empire of Gradenk will be bringing some paintings which were painted by an eminent Gradenk Painter as well as few national treasures; The Federation of Sybertronia will be bringing some of the fine cuisine of Sybertronia and perhaps a few energon cubes, but NOT transformers; The dominion of Teeni will be bringing her own exquisite cat treats; the Free Republic of Trouve will be bringing some of Trouve's national western dishes; the Dominion of TeAwamutu will be bringing apple cake; the Rogue nation of Ackbar will be sure to wear a hisenberg mask for the party; The Most Serene Republic of Mollesia will bring some salsa and chips. We hope there will be something for everyone.

Dear Twoslit,
I would be honored to attend this wonderful gathering for Mr. Bohr. Thank you for the invitation. If there is anything that you need to make this celebration even better, I will be glad to help accomindate the rest of your guest. Once again, Thank You...
Luna

Considering that Niels Bohr is our national hero, we will be delighted to send as many guests as you would care to accomodate.

We are most grateful to you Luna for your generous offers.
Since we are a very large country, I'm sure we can accomodate ALL of your guests, if things become too overcrowed, we'll ask Luna to share some of the space at her place :)

As it stands, we have appoximately 80000 applicants to attend. If you can handle them all, then they'll be on their way shortly (the VIP group is a meagre 300)

Well, I'd love to come, but... with Kommetrez gone, I have to stay here.

Man, it sucks being second-string.

The Nation of Danya sends a large cake.

Two likes large cakes :shock: :D but we will save it for the Celebration.

We'll beam you live satelite coverage.
Thank you kindly. Much appreciated.

As President of Aviationia, we are proud to be at this wonderful event. I would like everyone to look into the sky in 10 minutes to see Aviationia's distinguished Flying Falcons Team. They are 6 F-16 Falcons of which the team does the most daring stunts that you have ever whitnessed before your eyes! My team is composed of all experienced pilots with a flawless flight record. As a special treat, I have brought a radio in which the "birthday boy" can speak to the team and tell them to do a few manuvers of his own creation, as long as they are do-able of course! Have fun everyone and Happy Birthday!

--President of Aviationia

oooh! aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!
We love air shows!
Would you like some cake?

ah yes we would love to have some cake! As soon as my pilots land they wish to meet you and wish you a happy birthday. I hope you don't mind.

Can you do the Quantum Teacup manuevre?

I believe we have a similiar manuver with our team. A quick description for my lead pilot will help him organize and sort it out for you! *hands you the radio& "Awaiting orders sir!"

A quantum theoretical airplane in a very large teacup will spend part of it's time outside of the teacup without going out the top or through the sides. Just fly around, then appear somewhere else, then come back.

"Ah Sir, sounds like an advanced manuver. My pilots will try to perform this for you" F-16s get into formation and start manuver.

:lol:
All we need is good weather like today was (tuesday)
I'm beside myself with anticipation...
I may try to organize something for the Summer Solstice...

Wolfgang would like to see the exclusion maneuver. Take two airplanes with the same energy state, and no matter how hard they try, they can't crash into each other.

ah I see. I wonder though. My F-16's have variating energy states, so I don't know how that would work. My team is now headed for Two-Slit International Airport. If you wish to talk to them when they arrive here, feel free to do so. You are welcome into my country to see them perfom as well.

In honor of today being the 55th anniversary of Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier, could you do a loud fly-by?

*Talks into radio*---You have permission for sonic flyby guys!.."Rodger sir! TURN AND BURN!" *The 6 F-16's align in echelon formation, level off at 800 feet and prepare to break the sound barrier..."Oh kay everyone they are gonna come by at Mach 1.20 so if you don't like loud noises you better cover your ears once they pass by! *Jets pass by completely silent but quick as a bullet.... Then comes the sound and the crack of a sonic boom as the jets climb to 10,000 feet in seconds!* There you have it ladies and gentlemen! The Flying Falcons of Aviationia!!

An absolutely scintillating performance, I'm sure Lord Rutherford would agree.

Are you using Sergei's new superfluid gyroscopes by any chance?

The President of empire of Gradenk,President Suresh arrives with his gifts. He walks down from his Boeing 777-ER presidential Plane and was soon greeted by the twoslit authorities.After a change of pleasantries,The president and his entourage were whisked to the presidential palace. Upon arrival and further exchange of pleasantries, The president presented Gradenk's treasures, a painting titled " Illusion". The painting captures the ferocity of water falling from a waterfall with dark clouds.In essence it's picturing a dismal atmosphere full of negativity.The scene is contrasted however with a mother lovingly attending her toddler.

The artist,Groj Ghoullete wanted to bring a message that peace could be found within and not from the surroundings.

We are also presenting rare jewelleries which dates back to the ancestors of the President. The treasures are as follow:

A jewel encrusted sword with the engraving of Veni,Vedi Vici,the Gradenk's motto

and a crown which has a unique octagon shaped diamond. The crown believed to be around 500 years od ageonce belonged to an ancient ruler of gradenk.


We are also keen on learning and acquiring new technologies that would be on display during the celebrations.

President Suresh,
Empire of Gradenk

Welcome, Prsident Suresh

Aviationia has already put a marvelous display of aeronautically advanced maneuvers. Perhaps you would like to see his super-cooled helium gyroscopes? They are based on the awesome work of Sergei, the grad student who happened to be the underdog of the laboratory at the right time.

Greetings Mr President( OOC: twoslit, did I get it right? ),How have you been? I hope that the celebrations would kick off in high gear soon.

Actually, the main event begins in a couple of hours. Perhaps you would like to freshen up, perhaps use the new pool complex?

We at the Federation of the Twoslit Experiment are typically less formal amongst ourselves. Everyone calls me Two, but President is fine also. We like to observe decorum.

Actually, the main event begins in a couple of hours. Perhaps you would like to freshen up, perhaps use the new pool complex?

That would be nice.I would certainly like to freshen up.Hmm...not to mention get to know other diplomats and sights * note: girls in bikinis * OOc: just joking, did not mean to insult any feminists out there

Okie Back to business:
The super-cooled helium gyroscopes, that's fascinating. What are the applications of this device. Can we see the genius who invented this..Hmm..Perhaps we can embark on a Joint Venture of some kind.

Quandary would be delighted to send an official delegation (and an unofficial entourage of Heavens Demons bikers). Our scientifically oriented nation appreciates humour, and Nils Bohr has been a favourite ever since his barometer answer during the physics exam.

:idea: ~Quandary and Xao
(Unity in Peace, CACE, World Bank, GAGE)

Sergei, dressed in the obligatory old blue jeans and torn dead-heads Tshirt, enters the room wearing his famous headphones, his face an expression of surprise with jaw dangling, much as it was and has been every since the fateful day when all of the professor's grad students went looking for the most junior among them.
"Zdravstvuyte, President Suresh. I am very pleased to make your aquaintance. I understand that you are interested in the super-fluid gyroscopes. These gyroscopes are less expensive, smaller, and more accurate than any in the world. They have extensive application in nuclear warhead and pizza delivery systems. Perhaps we can talk business later?"

"Ah...so this is the genius....good... good. Nuclear warhead you say..Hmm....Gradenk is anti WMD....It would be a breach of our consitution if we were to build WMDs. Can we use the gyroscope for other purposes say applying it in building a platform which can produce artificial gravity(for space crafts). We can offer a contract in excess of 2 billion dollars(may be even more)...providing that your government allows it and you will be Twoslit official representative in our nation. Hm...gradenk is going to hold its National Award ceremony pretty soon. Perhaps you can join in the competition.Your government needs to second you though.",President Suresh.

Bolshoye spasibo, President Suresh. Da, it can be used in any navigational system. It can stabilize small craft which would otherwise be impossible to control and maneuver.

I appologise on behalf of my tardiness on arriving for Herr Bohr's birthday. I am honoured to be here, truely. Best of luck to him in the upcoming year, and thank you for your invitation.

We are honored to have you attend. Please don't mention anything about time to Niels. He hasn't been very concerned about time since 1962.

We sent (or did not send) Schrodinger's catgirl to the festivities and she will attend (or not depending on what happens when the wave equation collapses).

On behalf of the compassionate citizens of the very large, safe, and environmentally stunning Federation of The Twoslit Experiment, we cordially welcome the representatives of all nations visiting our humble country for the purpose of celebrating the birthday of Niels Bohr, one of the more brilliant and influential originators of quantum theory and a fun guy. We shall be most delighted to show you to your accomodations. RSVP has not yet been sent, because of the recent difficulties in our region, but we will send them soon. We are very happy that the difficulties of recent days have, for the most part, been resolved. We invite you to feshen up in the accomodations we have prepared for you.
Yours truly,
Two

We shall (or shall not) Welcome her most enthusiastically. Perhaps Alain Aspect will want to speak to her about duallity.

Very sorry that i am late for the party, please accept my humblest apologies and have a energon cube.

The Queen expresses her humble gratitude for the invitation to the party, and apologizes for her tardiness as her transport had broken down during the journey. Her party subsequently hitched rides on the backs of three enormous white elephants which made the journey longer since elephants must stop to eat and drink their fill (which takes a good while). She is relieved to finally make it, and will venture off to find Niels to personally wish him a happy birthday. Her sons are delighted with the spectacular air show, and may soon run off to go swimming.

"Two: On behalf of the compassionate people of the large and environmentally stunning Federation of the Twoslit Experiment, I am deeply honoured to welcome our dear friend Nastic who has agreed to open the ceremonies in honour of our dear Niels Bohr, a great scientist and a great man."

"My dearest world leaders,Delegates and fellow guests I cant express how happy it has made me and the people of the principality of Nastic to be asked to this worldwide celebration of the life and times of our esteemed benefactor and great friend Niels Bohr and to be asked to be the chief speaker on an occasion like this speaks volumes for Niels and nastics friendship."

"What can I say about a truly great scientist and a genuinely great man that has not been already said by the many world leaders that he can call on as friends?"

"What I can say is that during some recent turbulent times that nastic and its people have been going through with the military coup forced upon our nation,Niels and his nation was shoulder to shoulder with us and proved what an excellent and compassionate leader he has become."

"He has not once asked what we can do for him,Only what he could do for us in our time of need,These kind of principles cannot be taught you must be born with them,So with out further ado I will ask you to raise your glasses and toast Niels Bohr on this his birthday and we wish him many more to come"

"I will now pass you over to the guest of honour on this day of celebration,I give you Niels Bohr"

Niels walks carefully up to the microphone to the din of an enormous applause. "It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about Nature.
"It is, indeed, perhaps the greatest prospect of humanistic studies to contribute through an increasing knowledge of the history of cultural development to that gradual removal of prejudices which is the common aim of all science. I try never to express myself more clearly than I am able to think.
"Always remember, there are some things so serious that you have to laugh at them.
"Now, where is that cake?"
The crowd rises to its feet and comes forward for the cutting of the cake.

Shortly thereafter, Niels retired to his room, because, at his age, an afternoon nap is a necessity.

Whilst the esteemed Niels is having his well earned nap,Nastic is meeting and greeting members of the thronging masses that have come to party in honour of the host.

But all the time he is mingling he keeps one eye on the largest cake known to man and trying not to dribble down his tux.

The Peoples Republic of Simidh will bring three wagon loads of our special ale, Dragon's Spit. So named to discourage its waste upon punters unable to appreciate the fine flavour with a donkey's kick.

Wha time is this party gonna kick off...I wanna make sure everything is Perfect...I'll open my personal pool and backyard for the event...Come and have fun...
Luna

I am late...It seemz as if the party is over....
Luna

Marshal Paul retook his seat. "Impressive speach you have presented there, Nastic. No cue cards or anything! There is no wonder of how you have managed to stay in power so long." A grin across his face. He turned to his fellow representives at his table.

"I am honoured to be here along side all of you. Herr Bohr is a very well respected being, and we all are very honoured to be in hospitality. While there is no doubt that The Free Republic of Trouve is hardly near as old as some of your nations, it has had it's fair share of problems, and has helped solve some international crisises along side all of your fair, respected nations. I propose a chear." He raised his glass, as did the others around him, and they sipped their drinks as the meal had arrived.

The meal had had Nigel Bohr's chef's cuisine, as well as several other nation's dishes, and to Marshal Paul's satisfaction, the dishes he had had his chefs prepare. "Let us eat, shall we? It all looks very tempting, almost as much so as that cake that is lingering." He nodded towards the massive pastry before turning to his meal, cutting it with his knife.

"Perhaps we should have our militaries and other workers take part in a multi-nation training week. It would do wonders for the skills of all of our people, and would bond our nations even more so." Marshal Paul sudgested.

To Mr. Paul
That is a wonderful indea Marshal Paul, but somehow I see that you have other plans. Lets say that our armies were to train together, and somehow there was a disagreement between two nations, example, yours and mine, there is no way that I will have an advantage over you. your army will know how my army fights which will cause my destruction...
Luna

"Since it is peace time, according to the multiple arms treaties, it would be against UN rules to use live munition rounds during multi-national military excercises." Marshal Paul began. "As well, as your officers should be trained to handle international pressure, as well as not engauge in any sort of conflict. If that is the case, I will have any of my officers involved in sparking the quarlel Court Marshalled and awaiting prosicution. My nation may not be the most powerful militarily, but we have a reputation for excellent training. If anything, this will only bond the two militaries if our officers do not cause any sort of rivalry or conflict of interest."

"Thank you sergei,How soon can we get in touch with the gyroscope.It will be great if you can colloborate with us. "said President Suresh. the president then bid Sergei, the eminent Niels bohr's scientist and proceeded to to the celebrations.

* The President walk to Nastic *

Hello there Mr President, Good to have you back as our regional delegate. We view you as a unitifying force in our region. It must have been a tough time for you a week ago isn't it. Let's enjoy this party Mr President.

After a further small talk between President Suresh and Nastic, the President excused himself to get a piece of the cake before it's finished.

Would you like to attend our celebration of the Birthday of Nikola Tesla on July 11 at Lunatic Retard Robots? It would be great.

Niels, who had been working very diligently on the cake, suddenly perks up with the mention of the ever controversial Nikola Tesla.
"We would be most honored and delighted to attend any function which honors one of the more brilliant and insufficiently recognized scientific geniuses of the twenty-first century! I and all of my friends have nothing but the highest regard for Nikola. He has made contributions to science that we are marveling at even to this day. Indeed, a very great man."

Niels walks up to Marshal Paul: " Perhaps you could befriend Luna. If you could gain her trust, then we might be able to form a grand coalition for the safety of the region. Personally, I am very much opposed to war, and speak my mind plainly in this regard in my conversations with Two. However, there are elements who must be dissuaded from aggression."

Are these the same guys as the scientists? If so, congrats!!!

When Niels returns from his nap, he is greeted by a deafening cheer of nearly 90,000 Durinians who have quietly arrived for the party. There are literally thousands of people who want to introduce themselves, and he can barely folloow their names. There is noted physics professors Jaques Strap, and Jack Mehoff, and prominent, though obscure physicist Jack Schitt, along with his wife Fulla, and his Daughter Noe Schitt-Sherlock. There are noted comedian tripletslets Hung Huell, Hung Lo, and Hung Li Koss, who is quite the ladies' man. There is local celebrity Amandisa McPheelin-Krotc, who delivers an optical wave magnet to niels, made of boron diamond and cut in the shape of a quark.

He receivs a pile nearly 60 feet high of various presents, along with at least 500 first class spaceliner tickets to Durinia. While he is shaking hands, starfuries from the Tiger Claw make a special low-atmosphere pass to set off fireworks in his honor,
http://www.b5tech.net/art/b5/eafighters.jpg
and, from high orbit, the Tigerclaw herself makes a 21-gun salute!
http://www.b5tech.net/art/b5/tigerclawfires.jpg

Niels tries to speak above the crowd, but most of what he says is lost: "Citizens of the Commonwealth of Durinia, I am honored by your reception. I shall cherish your special gift of the optical wave magnet. I shall have Sergei go and do something interesting with it right away, he is quite good at such things, you know."

As the celebration continues, the President of Multaan, Rahul Shahid is seen entering the area, he has his most trusted friend right next to him. And he is surrounded by a large group of body guards, one of the organizars, seemingly very enthused, urge him towards the front, Mr. Shahid refuses and stays in the back, watching all the festivities.

(We eavesdrop on a conversation)

Organizor: Excuse me, your Excellency, but we have reserved a viewing platform for you.

Rahul Shahid: That is out of the question at this time, please tell your leader I would like to see him in private.

Organizor: Very well sir.

Marshal Paul was weighing Niel's words as one of his bodyguards walked up and whispered something in his ear. He nodded and quietly replied. The bodyguard left. "Fellow nation leaders, I must be taking my leave, as I must write my speach for tomorow's appeal to the public. Happy birthday, Herr Bohr, and I look forward to meeting you again in the future. I would love to discuss any issues or ideals of your nations, or for the better of the North Pacific, with you all. For a better tomorow, it would be wise to start today. I bid you all, farewell." With that he rose, shaking hands of those around him, and Niel Bohr's, before he left to his Bell Griffon to make the flight home.

Two, recognizing His Excelency, Rahul Shahid in the distance, makes his excuses and approaches. On the verge of rebuking an organizer for not escorting His Excelency to the viewing platform, the organizer tells him that His Excelency would like to speak in private. Two sends the organizer to prepare a conference room at the State Pool Complex, and approaches His Excelency.
"We are honored to have you with us on this joyous occasion, Your Excelency."

awww, too bad no one tried saying the names of my deligates out loud

Rahul Shahid smiles at seeing his close friend Two. He motions for his guards to leave. The guards walk a few steps and then stand in guard. He puts an arm on his shoulder and leads him towards a corner. Shahid leans in

Rahul: Two, I have a situation.

Two: What's wrong?

Rahul: I've just gotten word that there is an attempted coup taking place in my country. Rio Marno, my Defense Minister has surrounded the Presidential Palace with rogue elements of the Travancore National Guard. He has taken over all the radio frequencies and the 50 Television stations.

Two: Ok, is there anyway to contact your family?

Rahul: Yes, I am on the line with them at all times.

Two: Tell them to get to our embassy. I'll have a craft waiting for them. What about your cabinet?

Rahull: All safe, but my people. I dont know what they're going through.

Two: Allright, you and me are gonna take a trip to HQ, I have a plan.

*HomeMade Mask On Tightly* Great party, thanks for the invite. First time in this particualr forum I think, things always this happening?

Niels walks up to Ackbar, scratches his head, extends his hand and says, "Excuse me, have we met before?" Niels's eyesight isn't that great.
Sergei sees Birbul, and goes mad with delight. The two of them go off to the State Swimming Complex annex for a discussion about guidance technology on pizza delivery systems.

*Trying to pick-up on what ends up being a very confusing mirror, Ackbar reallizes that he accidently wore his Neils Bore mask, and realizes why he wasn't even interested in talking to himself*

:)

Two sees Ackbar, and quickly rushes to greet his honored visitor.
"Please forgive Niels, he wouldn't recognize a goat if it were wearing such a fine Niels Bohr mask as yours."
"Actually, most of us are from The North Pacific, THE most happening place on the planet, with all due respect to Farktopia." We have many interesting characters, I mean dignitaries here. Perhaps you would like to explore our State Swimming Complex?"

Even though the Durinians are consuming freign delicasies at an alarming rate, they are being quite well behaved.

finally i have made it to the party! twoslit i feel we have formed a great friendship and i will now make the twoslit experiment a place where theifs will never steal socks again. i will offer protection to your country should anyone else try to steal your socks. we will help defend you in the course of that battle - and seeing that we are a full nation of sock theifs our knowledge will be very useful. i extend this with great trust and honor.

Ahh, then it is a mostly North Pacific party, then I feel even more honored to be invited. I see that The North Pacific recently was awarded it's rightful Delegate again... errr, it is okay to talk politics in the party, isn't it?


Anyone know any good physics jokes?

Two: "Please don't try talking politics with Durinia just now, Durinia's mind is a bit occupied by the consummables. Other than that, feel free to discuss anything. In fact, I'm looking for a good argument with Alain, I hope you don't mind if I go look him up."

This is a great house you have here. Very roomy. hard to believe you can fit so many people into one space...

Welcome to the party, Slaglands. Thanks for bringing the film crew. The North Pacific can use some good PR right now.

(OOC: That was an OOC post... sorry if that wasn't clear.)

:D
I can't remember when I've had a more stimulating day and if there was any friction among guests I certainly wasn't aware of it. What a wonderful group you attracted...it renews my faith in humanity and proves once again--you don't have to be a rocket scientist to enjoy a good corn boil!!! I hope this will be an annual event...it has set a standard in my book so much so that after hesitating for some time, I have decided to endorse you and will tell the world thatI have done so...no shame no blame just good clean and smart FUN ! Thanks for a splendid day and sorry about the peanut butter incident...Long live the spirit of Bohr...(signed) The Elder of Thespian Way.

A group of about 1/10 of the Durinians put on fast fiddle music and draw as many of the revellers as they can into a massive square dance. Jack Mehoff is running the show.

Actually, the kittens quite enjoyed the peanut butter incident. We are most honored by your gracious remarks, and hope you can stay for some time, We have a range of activities planned for the coming days. The celebration of Niels's birthday is a big event in our country and we have planned an extended national holiday to do it right.

:wink:
Lordy, Lordy, You're good...I'm glad I brought my tent...I will stay awhile to see where this wonderful 'event' goes...
(The Elder of Thespian Way)

Actually, we are hoping to get around to speaking to some of our more technologically inclined friends about a joint venture to bring home some of that neutron star. We like to think of far out things.

Thank you for the invite, going to bed, hope to come to the next party....

Hope to see you tomorrow. We've barely begun.

Suddenly the party moved to the garden, Wolfgang, Werner and Niels were at it again. Many people moved to see what they were discussing.

President Suresh mingled with other estemmed dignitaries. Not quite sure of what to discuss other than small talk.

He spots Niels bohr and walks towards him.

"Greetings, great Party isn't it, HOw was the gift from the people of Gradenk",asked the president.

Niels perks up, he had been dozing at his soup: "That is a wonderful painting you brought, President Suresh, You must have a very talented artistic community. I haven't quite decided where to put it yet, so Two is keeping it at the National galery."

" Thank you for your kind words Mr President,Sergei is indeed a brilliant person...Can we embark on a joint venture of some sort.Your gyroscope would stabilize our experimental lift-off craft. Our valuators evaluated the transfer of human capital to be worth more than USD 2 billion. what do you say Mr President? And btw, I would like to set up and embassy at your nation ...but we should enjoy ourselves right now ...eh..*President Suresh spotted a very beautiful lady at the table across President Niels * I say Mr President, Who is that fair lady over there ? If she is not related to you..I say...I would like to make a move on her...You don't mind right <grins> "

Ahh, then it is a mostly North Pacific party, then I feel even more honored to be invited. I see that The North Pacific recently was awarded it's rightful Delegate again... errr, it is okay to talk politics in the party, isn't it?


Anyone know any good physics jokes?

Amazed the mighty ackbar knows we exist and returns the kind words with gratitude.

*lifts his heavy eyelids and tries to focus on his watch*

"Oh my god how inconsiderate of me the guest speaker to have fallen asleep at this the worlds most happening event for years"

*Looks around and hopes that the esteemed host niels has not been made aware of our indiscresion,What an international incident that would cause*

Exactly how long is this party? Where has everyone gone to? What happen to all the fun and drinking? Did evryone fall in the pool or asleep??
Luna

Well no-ones told the people of nastic its finished so all 765 million of us are still partying on down,Surely you must have bumped into one of us?

The pool party is still happening. The main pool is full.

I probably ran into someone from Nastic and had a very intellectual conversation with them, but itz very hard for me to keep track of all the people I have met so far...Just in time, the weather is getting hotter and hotter over in my place...I'm in my bathing suit all day long....
Luna

I forgot to reply to my invite, showed up drunk and can't remember a thing.

Am I still here? *cracking one eye and groaning*


:?:

LOL it is clear to me that you have NOT conversed with anyone from my nation as NASTIC and intellectual do not go together in the same sentence ;-)

It seems that you under estimate your people, Nastic. The quite and even sometimes the ones you least expect are the most brilliant people in the universe. I'm sure it was someone from Nastic. 8) Luna

Are you sure this is Luna's place?
*passes the pizza*

Sergei: "Hey, anybody seen Nastic lately?"
Wolfgang: "Yeah, he's the bright guy wearing the lampshade in the corner."

That is not what my pool lookz like....Anyway how would you know???Are you spying on me???? :?: :? If I find out....Anywayz, my love is coming soon, so itz off to the jacuzzi..See you pplz at the beach laterz. Enjoy...By the way, Why are you hiding Nastic?
Luna

guys, we're in the wrong place; who's place is this anyway? We gotta get outa here....

The one on the right is me and the one on the left is zeropositive and the picture was taken just as he threw me out of the delegates seat (the blue one in the middle of the picture) the guys in the background were the game mods who didnt know what to do so they sat on the fence as usual. Damn those paperazzi ,why wont they leave me alone ;-)

So exactly why are you hiding in my quarters again? There are so many different places to hide in my place, just a part of the yard, you want? Thats fine, I can get you and your friends a bitter pool if u needed it, Nastic...On one ever informs me of anything, anymore it seemz... :(

I inform you that I like you :lol:

Sergei finally finds Luna's place, walks up and says, "On behalf of the celebrators of Niels's birthday, we respectfully request to use your big pool, ours had a problem when Nastic started jumping around in it.
Please can use the big pool? We brought the pizza...
http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:S1BcBuqrNzcC:www.petesfamouspizza.com/pizza

Quandary's delegates bring some of our excellent red wines and cheeses (doh, sentence structure... not all the cheeses are red). Also some strange mushrooms donated by one of our neighbours, who tells us they bring great insights to those who ingest them. We would like to study the effects. Volunteer, anyone?

You are quite welcome to use the big pool. its just beyond the wall with the shrubs on it..Be very careful though, the water will be perfect temperature to your liking...I thank you for the complement Nastic....Enjoy yourself...If anyone need anything please let me know...
Luna

ummm, I think this is the garden. Can you help me find the pool?

Sure, just follow the Sapphire Lillies, they will lead you directly to the pool..Enjoy

the twoslit experiment story, part one.
Wolfgang: "We now call to order this seminar for the presentation of scientific papers. The first speaker will be the founder of our environmentally stunning nation, Two."
*the crowd of three all grab chairs*

Two: "The two slit experiment is the quintessential demonstration of quantum weirdness.

A photon passing through a barrier with two slits to choose from will pass through only one if it is a particle, and it will pass through both if it is a wave.

A particle has a location. A wave is spread over space.
A particle can not be a wave.
A wave can not be a particle.
Any quantum theoretical thing will display both characteristics.

The difficulties can be surmounted by saying that it is like a particle, and it is like a wave.
This leads to the question of certainty in physics.

We want to know what it is, but we can't say what it is.
The truth is that we don't know much. This is disturbing, and people like to think that it isn't true.

We can make extremely accurate predictions in physics based on what we know. Physicists can make better predictions than any others in the World, even those in The North Pacific, THE most happening place in the World. But we don't know what a quantum theoretical thing IS.
The next question is: What DO we know?
I leave you with that.
LONG LIVE THE NORTH PACIFIC, and thank you very much."

Sergei: "We now welcome Chip with his paper on THE EDUCATED EUGLENA. Take it away, Chip."

Chip: "I would like to give a brief lecture now about our beloved national animal, the euglena.
http://www.biol.tsukuba.ac.jp/~inouye/ino/e/Euglena2.GIF
Euglenas are nice, especially educated ones. (http://www.wildbill.com/current/euglena-76.html)
If you want to know more, then read between the line.
Thank you very much, and LONG LIVE THE NORTH PACIFIC."

Sergei: "Now, back to Luna's pool!"

I hope everyone is enjoying themselves, even the people who like to hide within the maze of Lillies...
Luna

We're having a great time! Thanks for letting us chill out over here for a while, Luna. Things are really mental over at the Federation just now. We need a vacation.

All are welcome to stay as long as desired...No stringz attached...
Luna

We will not celebrate the birthday of someone who contributed to making the atom bomb.
in our books, Niels Bohr is a war criminal.

As are Einstein, Oppenheimer and Feynman.

But weren't they the same great minds that helped our society to be what it is today with technology and sciences?
Luna

War doesn't kill people, people kill people. bugs also kill people, and viruses, and bacteria, and lions, and lightning, and electricity, and automobiles, and....

Would you like to pet a euglena?

War doesn't kill people, people kill people. bugs also kill people, and viruses, and bacteria, and lions, and lightning, and electricity, and automobiles, and....

War is the situation or process where people kill people. War IS people killing people.

Bugs, viruses, bacteria, lions and lightning are natural occurence. None of these five things set out with the intention of wiping millions or thousands off of the face of the earth. Furthermore there is a good change none of these five things have the rational ability to review their actions.
Electricity doesn't kill people. High potential difference causes that , and is the same as lightning in this respect.
Automobiles are meant as transportation vehicles, not inventions who have for their sole purpose mass destruction of people and property.

If someone feeds you a high-fat diet, and, as a result of that diet, you die at the age of forty from cardiovascular disease or cancer,

then did that person kill you?

If someone feeds you a high-fat diet, and, as a result of that diet, you die at the age of forty from cardiovascular disease or cancer,

then did that person kill you?

Again, the intent is paramount here.
A mother can stuff her kids silly with fatty foods. Yet if they eventually suffer fatness diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc. , the mother is not their killer - or at the very least she never intended such a result.

The inventors of the atom bombs however, pursued that invention with full knowledge of its effect uses and consequences.

Personally, we never applied to work at Los Alamos. We are of two minds about this as well as other topics.
But we are interested to know what is a remedy for war.

I would be honored to pet a euglena. It seems so intriguing...I have a commment...Take the scenario of Hitler. He had a perfect idea of what he was doing, genocide of people he did not like. wouldn't his idea of people looking a certain way contribute to his genocide?
Luna

Now that you mention it, I suppose so. But, first, due the heaviness of this topic, Sue Mo-Ballet-Bohr has kindly offered some cultural diversion:
http://www.cheekies.com/gallery/Sport/Sumo_Ballet.jpg

That kinda looks like fun...I think i'm go put on my tutu and join that guy.... :wink:
Luna

Is anyone around or is the party over?
:?:
Luna

It seems that beings as my sister and I use the Same Computer that I can only log into the nationstates Forum under her nation, but this is the Headmistress of Submissive Slave Women, I like this party and my people and I would love to join in, we will bring the drinks if no one else has, we will make sure there is enough for everyone, thank you Two for inviting us here, I will bartend if no one else wants to,

Sincerely,
Headmistress :D

Hey, Luna, is it OK if we shift the party to your balcony-courtyard after we finish these repairs?
http://www.fullgospeltabernacle.org/illusion.jpg_.jpg

Sure, but you might wanna be careful, itz a dangerous fall...You are welcome to roam ANYWHERE in my place Except for my room...That is off guard...Have fun, and don't hurt my lilies...

Sometimes when we're at a party, we like to just relax and feel good.

In celebration of your Niels Bohr's birthday, we have all our citizens wearing freshly fabricated t-shirts with the saying "Hey, don't blame me! I voted for Niels Bohr!" on it. The mighty drinking will begin!

Have all the fun you want, but I don't want fight to take place. Drink and be merry, if you will, but remember there is a limit to the human and non-human system...
Luna

*give citizens little plastic flags and joins the party* happy b-day bohr! :D

The entire Federation of the Twoslit Experiment is celebrating the recent success of Track and Field participants (and particidresses and particitutus)

The celebration of Niels's birthday continues!!! (http://www.cincinnatiusa.org/photos/oktoberfest.jpg)

We can't wait until the big day!
October 7, Niels's birthday, has been an eagerly awaited event. In fact, we've been waiting for it since before we were born.

Now, all I need to do is pick out a present....

Hmmm, I wonder.... (http://www.stadium.gmxhome.de/images/WM%202002/ibaraki1.jpg)

Welcome to Niels's all-day concert birthday party!
In his own football stadium, given to him in honor of his contributions to science, society, his country, The North Pacific, and the World.

Twoslit, your national animal really ought to be Schrodinger's cat.

Perhaps Catsovania would agree with you.

Several kegs of our finest brewed Paroo are on their way, as well as the shirts as mentioned. Our squadron of Imperial Revelers will ensure a most excellent bit of well-structured revelry will commence.

Happy Neils Bohr celebration. I see the get-off has gotten off rather well so far, with 8 pages thus far.

Not bad for a guy named Bohr.

Happy Birthday Niels............free desserts for all from Ozworld..............put your orders in now !!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Niels likes blueberry pie!

Ozworld you are awsome.

The great nation of Span wishes Niels Bohr another excellent celebration on his date of birth and for another year full of happiness. We present to Bohr this golden football handmade by our Comrade of Sports for the first game this new stadium has to offer for Twoslit citizens.


Sincerely,

The Comrades of SPAAW and Leader M. Shobacus Maz

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIELS BOHR!!!

The sparklers and beverages are out all over Treenudity, as well as Trees Abound, for the event!
Hey, look....we can write your name in the air with the sparklers! :lol:

Ambassador Shekar looks at the piece of memo.

" Niels Bohr celebrates birthday "

He stared it long enough and was lost for words. He was supposed to receive the memo few days ago....yet one particular junior officer....terribly disliked in the Office has blundered yet once again...

"this is indeed bad..."< He speaks to his adjutant > " What is that @$ doing now. Is he a sleep when he is supposed to distribute information..." <The ambassador is visibly irritated and now angry>

Adjutant ," Your Excellency, Perhaps we should make it to the party...We don't have any appointments today, and we do have excellent gifts for use in such an occasion. our embassy has a special fund for gifts to the head of state. We can deal with the recalcitrant officer later sir....perhaps a demotion to Clerk ...no....a security guard would do the officer justice..."

"You're right. Prepare the gift. We shall leave in a matter of minutes "

<after several minutes>
The Ambassador and his adjutant departed to the Celebration.
After travelling for a while, They arrived at the celebration just in time to see that the party was in full swing.

The ambassador went straigth to Niels Bohr's position.

<upon reaching >
" Good day Mr President, We thank you sincerely for inviting us for this joyous occasion. I have to apollogise for not being able to come earlier. A junior officer has not done his duty properly....yet again... I apollogise for my tardiness. <makes a mental note that he will fire the officer for this humiliation >"

May I present to you honorable sir, The Sword and Shield of friendship. It's inlaid with Diamonds, Saphires and it's surrounding is plated in gold - titanium alloy. (Mostly gold but mixed with few particles of titanium and platinum )

We hope that this humble gift from our nation would be sufficient for such a momentous occasion.

Itz an honor be here among so many guestz and honoreez. I would like to invite each and everysingle one of the subject and leaders of the nations present to an evening under the stars in my gardens. Chilled shardney will be served along with light deserts. It shall be a night for the stars to glow. Come, after the concert, if desired.
Luna

we have sent the best baskets our nation has to offer. Happy Bday

Niels likes blueberry pie!

1 blueberry pie on its way!!!!! 8)

Can't get enough blueberry pie!
Gee, thanks, Ozworld! You've outdone yourself!

Happy Birthday Niels Bohr! For your personal pleasure and enjoyment Aviationia has ordered its world renowned Flying Falcons! They will be doing a special fly by as well as stunts for you. I have also arranged a flight for you on one of their jets for you to enjoy at your discretion. Here is a Aviationian Peregine Falcon as a gift. We hope you have many more enjoyable birthdays!

Niels: "So sorry about the little blue accident in your Falcon, I was having great fun until that last maneuver.... Next time, I'll wait a bit after eating before I go up."

Ozworld you are awsome.

Forgot to say happy birthday Niels Bohr

maybe a little late, but happy b-day, *hands Niels "The book of Freestuff" good for any major SW restuarants.*

Nobody is too late around here. The concert isn't even over yet. We like to party at our place!
