Recent research suggests that at the quantum scale, time may not be as fixed as traditionally thought. Studies have found evidence of two opposing arrows of time, indicating that time could theoretically move both forward and backward in certain quantum systems. This concept challenges the conventional understanding of time’s directionality and has implications for fields like quantum mechanics and cosmology. However, these phenomena are theoretical and occur under specific conditions, differing from our everyday experience of time moving in one direction.

“Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.”
― Robert Burns

Translation:
Some have meat and can not eat
And some can eat and want it
But we have meat and we can eat
So say to the lord we thank you.

They certainly do. My father studied it off and on for several years. He could carry on a fair conversation but the biggest problem was that there are few people who can speak it any more. There are still a few older people in some areas of the east coast who can but not many. There has been an effort over the last number of years to try and preserve it but few young people are interested I’m afraid.

WHAT IS GAELIC?  ​

The Gaelic language has been part of the Scottish consciousness for centuries - it's the ancient tongue of Scotland and is considered to be the founding language of the country. 

Gaelic, like English and Scots, belongs to the Indo-European language family. This is the most widespread language family in the world. 

The family contains some of the languages with the greatest number of speakers (English, Spanish, Hindi and Urdu). It also includes critically endangered languages like Gaelic.

Still to this day in more rural areas of Nova Scotia some road signs are in both Gaelic and English.

Ok.... With all the $hit going down in the world right now, I figured taking my mind off it would be a good break.... So in my surfing, I came across a skit done by Adam Sandler years ago in Montreal. I laughed then and it made me laugh this time as well. So for the members that even know we have an off-topic forum section, I hope you enjoy. and feel free to send the link to some of the members who don't even realize there is a pulse here other than in the C8 section.
