This Forum, what is it? a few posts recently reminded me of what we have here.


A collection of Electricians, Electrical Engineers, Consultants, Supply side Engineers, Inspectors. Armed to the teeth with qualifications, experience  and reasoning.

Would give Shroedinger and his cat a good run for their money - makes the chicken/egg question look simple (actually the chicken/egg question is simple but that`s another matter).

You could not get guidance like this fom any scheme or body. It is brill. You even get building regs and advice, carpentry and electronics/radio thrown in too plus a host of other subjects. And a weekend quiz too. Ohh and a few comedians and some quirky quips.


To sum it up. Sheer Brilliance

    I am not sure about chicken and eggs and the 3 great un-answered questions such as how does the man who drives the snow plow get to work in the morning, how much does a London cab driver really earn and but how do you know the light in the fridge goes out when the door is shut ( I could probably answer that one by the use of one of my stable of clamp meters).





    The snow plough man walks to work. Snowflake ?

    No idea how much a London cab driver earns but I can ask a neighbour of mine next time I see him as he is a London cabbie... ?

    Yes the fridge light does go out. I have GoPro footage to prove it.... ?


    Oh and the chicken and egg thing then it's definitely the egg as that would have borne the first mutated embryo that would then become the first chicken. ? ? ?


     

     




    But was that egg a Hen's egg?


    Surely there must have been numerous "newly-mutated" chickens born at a similar time? What did their eggs look like? I guess the answer is that it's not as simple as just one mutation caused the lizard to become a chicken, but a slow movement of an evolutionary branch towards chickens and its close relatives?


    But again, at what point did the hen's egg come into existence ... before the chicken, or afterwards?
