What Sweden is famous for?

[DazZ.]

Oh and cheese.

I'm sorry but thats Wisconsin territory.

Your right, but I had only heard "Swiss cheese".

Seriously, Sweden != Switzerland. Swedish != Swiss. Guess it's too much to ask of people to know the difference between the USA and the USSR. I mean, the first two letters are the same, so...

Look at a map of Europe... Sweden and Norway are those "almost-upside-down rabbit's ears" in the north, west of Finland and Russia. OK? You can find Russia, at least, can't you? Now, Switzerland, on the other hand, is smack in the middle of continental Europe, in the Alps. The mountains... Before I facepalm myself to death, it's north of Italy. The "boot"... Look at the Medite-- oh what's the point? /mother of all facepalms

... Rez pls...

EDIT: Because I can't help myself...

Well, they did build the words largest particle accelerator. Which, when activated, will shoot particles over ten miles of tunneling and smash them into each other at the speed of light.

No. Just really close to it. Nothing which has mass while at rest (ie matter), can even reach the speed of light.

The sudden collision will alter the very existence of the particles and merge them into a single element. The process will create Dark Matter, also know as ?The God Particle? the very essence of creation it?s self. The one element all of creation stems from.

Dark matter != "the God Particle". Dark matter is matter that does not give off light, which means we can't see it at the interstellar scale. We can only observe it indirectly, as its gravitational pull affects matter that we *can* see (like stars). What makes it so mysterious and such a big deal is that, because we can't see it directly, it's damn-near impossible to determine the ratio of dark to "light" matter in the universe, and a now-abandoned theory said that if there was enough dark matter in the universe, then it would eventually stop expanding and collapse.

Why do I get the feeling you got your physics lessons from Angels and Demons?

A single atom of Dark Matter is enough to power a city like New York for ten years,

Even if you mean *anti*-matter, you've got the scale completely wrong. An atom of antimatter is practically nothing. It could smack into an atom in your eyeball and you wouldn't notice the explosion. One antiproton and one proton colliding... Yes... I will... I'm breaking open the textbooks and ***I will actually do the maths right now***... For fun... Please shoot me... The mass of a proton is approximately 1.67*10^−27 kg ... Same for the antiproton, so times 2... Multiply by c^2, and we get *breaks out the bigass calculator* approximately 3*10^-10 J. I'm not gonna bother taking it further... That's not gonna light a lightbulb for a nanosecond.

... making it the most potent power source in the universe. Or the most destructive force ever used by man.

Yes, but still, in the quantities it can be produced by our current technology, it has no practical application. The bomb from Angels and Demons is as much science fiction as Star Trek's matter/antimatter reactors.

The only problem is they?re too scared to turn it on. Because when they do switch it on anything from nothing will happen at all to a black hole will open under Sweden. So that?s quite a large margin for error?

Switzerland ffs!!! And no one's scared of turning it on. The black holes that can form (and have formed) collapse within fractions of a second. They are quantum scale singularities, which means that the range of their gravitational pull is so short that it can't even reach a neighbouring atom. The risks involved aren't even negligible. They are literally zero. People just hear "black hole" and go apeshit.

EDIT: Or is it Swizterland that built it?... eh, never mind. Same difference.

Fuck you too ;-)

That would have been pertinent if the thread had been about Switzerland.

You know: Swiss = Switzerland Swedish = Sweden

Why do so many people have problem differentiating these two countries?

Lol, if id actually been paying attention id have probally realised.
Its like if you spell words slightly wrong but alot of the right letters skim reading it wont make a difference. Not meny words begin with "Sw" so I probally just assume they are the same.

 

[Higurashi]

you forgot the Nobel Prize, something i did mnetion along with nitroglycerin, that was used in dynamite

and hate to say it but a LOT of people like ABBA, they're still extremely popular, so much so that when offered $1 billion to tour they turned it down cause they made too much sitting at home

It had already been mentioned several times. I simply omitted it. If you like me to make a list of all inventions we've made... actually, no, forget that.

And yes, I know. I was just making a point. Thing is, not many actually like ABBA for their music anymore. They like them for the nostalgia, or for the members. They went on to other projects pretty quickly. The ironic part is that a lot of Swedes dislike them for the fact I mentioned, whereas other people love them.

I don't believe in the girls are beautiful in Sweden. And neither does my male friends. xD But in here Sweden is famous for gay people, no offense though. :3

This (again, no offense), and being neighbour of us, Glorius Finland of Awesomeness!

Yes! Long live Finland!

 

[Zorg Machine]

we were counted as one of the most powerful nations in the world, we had vikings and we have the nobel prize. btw Ikea helps too

Yes, we all know about people's fear of vikings and Ikea.

 

[IamQ]

i can think of three things and they're all related

nitroglycerin and dynamite
Alfred Nobel
Nobel Peace Prize

Can't you just say Alfred nobel? I mean hes related to all 3 things since he invented both the Nobel peace prize and dynamite.

your Denmark's neighbors, thats something.
