The somosphere is the sum of all man-made networks, systems, software and hardware required to support virtual identities used in social media and gaming. It combines the words 'somos' (Spanish meaning 'we are') and 'sphere' and describes a completely artificial zone that engulfs much of the Earth. Drawing on a comparison to the biosphere, the somosphere can be seen to have evolved from the need for humans to communicate, moving from a purely verbal form of language to one that could be written, distributed through invention of the printing press, telegraph, radio and TV, and the Internet, to its current state as a global electronic ecosystem that supports virtual life. Unlike the biosphere, the somosphere is not a self-regulating ecosystem, although this aspect is changing with major contributors such as network operators, Internet Service Providers and social media giant Facebook showing reluctance to moderate content or comply with government interference (e.g. to prevent illegal downloading of copyright material). To this end the somosphere has emerged to be representative of the true will of the people, who are (for the most part) unrestricted by physical form, age, gender, social standing, nationality, geographical and geopolitical location, relative and religious influences and taboo. To borrow a quote from Descartes, 'We connect, therefore we are'.
Recent opinion polls have failed to appreciate factors within the somosphere, which could account for their poor performance in predicting the outcome of the Brexit and US Presidential Elections. Such factors include the reliability of statistics based on unqualified accounts; deliberate false accounting; trending within anonymous groups; and media interference. Clearly big-data generated by activity within the somosphere alone is not reliable and, as with grossly overestimated predictions from mixed meteorological data over the effect of global warming, pollsters must rethink the models used when assessing the habits of real people in line with online advertising.
A blind faith in anything remotely scientific in nature. Sci-Bli is a blind acceptance that science provides answers to everything from the origin of the universe and life to the nature of consciousness. The Sci-Bli are willing to overlook the rigours of scientific method, in particular the need to prove a hypothesis using experiment and observation that may be replicated, and are predisposed to engage in the belittling of any idea or theory that does not conform with orthodox scientific belief, even if the idea or theory has a grounding in science, branding the authors of such work as 'heretics' in the same manner detractors of religious faiths have been in the past. Sci-Bli'ers can be seen to be rooted in science fiction and cling to notions that have absolutely no place in proven science, for example hyperspace, warp drives and star gates.
Though not without good reason, those who do not believe that Man has walked on the Moon are branded 'conspiracy theorists' or 'Moon-landing deniers' by any number of people who themselves, incapable of explaining how something that might have been achieved 50 years ago has proved impossible to replicate, are guilty of having a blind faith in science and deserving of the title 'Sci-Bli'.
Adult who dates somebody way to young for them. Similar to a cradle snatcher but with a difference in age that borders on paedofilia.
I'm not saying it's wrong but she was only a foetus when that cot crawler started collecting his pension.
Quantum lag is the time it takes for changes in the quantum realm to be reflected in reality. Unlike the 'real world', the quantum realm has no equivalent dimensions because the quantum elements are relational. It is only when these elements acquire mass and energy, from which the natural laws are derived, that they can be measured in terms of space and time.
Most of us will only notice quantum lag when the quantum event is experienced immediately prior to its effect in reality, a condition referred to as deja-vu. Less obvious effects are those of intuition and premonition. More disturbing effects involve apparitions, e.g. ghosts, whereby the quantum event is so strong as to appear real even though it never manifests in reality (which is why ghosts cannot be recorded on physical media). Quantum lag also explains why properties of elements in the quantum realm appear to change faster than allowed by the speed of light, referred to as quantum entanglement.
The condition where the neck line is indistinguishable from the waistline suggesting the esophagus is nothing more than a hole at the top of the stomach.
Obesity has become so prevalent that the medical community has introduced a number of terms to grade the severity in physical appearance including cankle, thankle, chinkle and esophaguts.
Collateral lies are fictional accounts, half-truths and coincidences presented as facts by a party in an attempt to deliberately mislead the audience into arriving at the desired conclusion. The term was coined in the title of the book of the same name, Collateral Lies - The Facts behind the Plot to Bomb the Twin Towers on 9/11, which reveals claims introduced on both sides, believers and skeptics, that have become mainstream in the arguments for and against the official line in the years since the disaster. For example, when skeptics point out how an aluminium airplane could not penetrate the steel building, believers present the argument that any material given enough velocity can penetrate any other material and use a water-jet cutting steel in their defense. Though this may be a convincing argument in the eyes of most people, the principle cannot be applied to a single object, i.e. one drop of water cannot penetrate steel, it is a constant stream at high velocity that erodes the steel. On the basis the person making the statement understands the physics involved, it is clearly a lie introduced to reinforce a claim. More recently the term was used for the first time in a UK Supreme Court ruling regarding insurance claims.
When it comes to making a claim against your insurance company, it will still be a fraud if you fabricate the claim, and it will still be a fraud if you exaggerate the claim, but insurers can no longer use so-called âcollateral liesâ to reject a valid claim.

A person who uses any means to defend a controversial claim by the State, in particular one who brands any counter-claim a 'conspiracy', the most famous such debate being that the USA landed men on the Moon from 1969 to 1972 in the Apollo missions, hence the deliberate misspelling of the word 'apologist'. Apollogists are the modern day equivalent of the Religious apologetics, who sought to defend inconsistencies of fact and logic in their faith by excusing the author. Likewise, Apollogists attempt to defend inconsistencies in evidence distributed by the State through unsubstantiated claims, diversion, the abuse of natural effects, and the misuse of scientific principles. Unlike their Religious counterparts, Apollogists are inclined to belittle or berate the author of a counter-claim, accusing them of being mindless; having no education or no understanding of a scientific principle; wearing tin-foil hats; on medication; or more recently as being part of a social movement attempting to subvert the State.
As with the Apollo mission to the Moon, the proposed Orion mission to Mars faces an obstacle in passing through the Van Allen radiation belts, which are harmful to life. When interviewed, former NASA astronaut and Apollogist Don Pettit said, "I'd go to the Moon in a nanosecond. The problem is we don't have that technology to do that anymore. We used to but we destroyed that technology and it's a painful process to build it back again."
