Are people from Newcastle, New South Wales also known as geordies?

No and, apparantly, its also a myth that Geordies came from Newcastle England. It has been suggested that the term geordie was bestowed on those peoples from south of the Tyne down Durham Sunderland way who joined King George's forces to attack the city of Newcastle which, at that time, was under Scots control. Its also suggested that the Jacobites knew they couldn't take control of it as King Georges garrison there was too strong so they bypassed it, referring to it as George's land, on their way to sack the rest of England.

Even Geordies dont have the answer to the origin as can be read HERE

If your in a spaceship travelling at the speed of light and you switch the lights on...do they work?

In a way, yes, as the light in the spaceship would move relative to the speed of the ship (i.e. when you kick a ball at 5 mph on a train moving at 100 mph, the ball only travels at 5 mph in your relative view - to someone standing outside the train, his relative viewpoint is completely different, so it would look faster than 5 mph).

In a way, the question can't be answered as the special theory of relativity says no spaceship can attain light speed (you start going back in time if you do - there's some weird experiments with electrons where they've done it. You end up with three electrons, one going at normal speed, one going backwards and another going forwards - both of these cancel each other out, leaving just the one at normal speed [the speed of light]).

Quantum physics - easily more bizarre than any UFOs, ghosts or Loch Ness monsters.

Why was Scotty born so clever?

Why is radar the same when spelt backwards.

Ditto for rotor.

Wise man speaks to you in a normal full frontal, patronising kind of a way --- Wise Guys narrow their eyes and spit it out from the sides of their mouth in a laconic style designed to warn or deflate.
