No one has to experience something for it to exist.
Well, that's one theory.
Did you check out the animation on thinking in ten dimensions?
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

M, I'm going with the definition of noise (n) that has it as a synonym for sound (n). I swapped that into the traditional wording without any intention of changing the meaning of the question.
Perfectly valid. Thus my caveat re: "my take".
It's not perfect, but it lets me drop the question feeling satisfied I have answered it and go back to watching television.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
YOU ARE AT WORK!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I need to start watching this perverted and sleazy morning show: [link]
I also t heart how completely off their rockers Virginia and Alessandra of the NYT are. They need to form a band with Alex Kuczynski.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, that's one theory.
Don't just let it sit there--tell us about the others, and the one you believe.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Okay, I was actually *working* all day, and I log in to find 500 new Natter posts. I was thinking KERFLUFFLE! and wondered what heresy had been committed that got the Buffistas split into factions screaming "Aux armes, citoyens!"
I'm actually just a little bit disappointed that there turned out to be no kerfluffle.
However, I enjoyed reading Guess That Buffista, but the physics made my brain curl up in a tiny ball and whimper.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That stupid physics problem was bugging me the whole way home... can we revisit it?
It takes 2 seconds to accelerate to 40m/s. 40m/s = 10 * t^2.
It's four seconds, right? One second to accelerate to 10m/s, two to 20m/s, etc. When you say, "acceleration = 10 meters per second squared" you should think of it as "ten meters per second, per second" - i.e. each second of acceleration you add ten meters per second of velocity.

It's...a magic television that...that...follows me. Wherever I go. I can watch it all the time. 'cause it's magic. The television is.

Yep.
