This is weak.

Nope, it’s this weak not next weak.

Next weak is the time we will know.

Week as per 7 Venus days?

Fun fact:

“Venus has the longest day of any planet in our solar system. It completes one rotation every 243 Earth days. Its day lasts longer than its orbit. It orbits the Sun every 224.65 Earth days, so a day is nearly 20 Earth days longer than its year.”

How long is a week?

According to the theory of relativity, time dilation is a difference in the elapsed time measured by two observers, either due to a velocity difference relative to each other, or by being differently situated relative to a gravitational field.

So, Kev, I need to know who the 2nd observer is, where they are located, and if they are situated close to large gravitational influence such as orbiting a Zorba would exert. ... calculation of the length of a week may vary daily and take about a week so I will get back to you in a week or so ... give or take ... a week .

Speaking of (Gravitational) waves....

Scientists have followed gravitational waves to something they've never seen before — the collision of two exotic objects called neutron stars.

By observing a fleeting star-like object in the sky in August, they've learned a lot of new things about the universe worth clinking glasses over.

From last it’s next, but it could be this , I don’t know I’m that ****ing confused over which one it is now I’m just giving up!!

I’ve just hit my third Crown, and it’s starting to make sense. A week is subjective, time is merely a concept that can be bent and manipulated. Just ask @Moondog.

Ahahaha one of your best mate.

I think “ Next Week” almost deserves it’s own thread , I mean it’s been used profusely on ST over the last two weeks!

Pushing the collision of two neutron stars off the front page - Newsflash, we are witnessing the birth of a new Silvertails meme!!

I think we are, it’ll be almost as famous as “ Ironstein” soon.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Besides, it’s very very close to next week......again!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I'll ask Dan to update the meme page, probably do it next week.
