Diabolical Riddle 5

[Malufa]

To see me one knows of me
To know me is to not see me
Smaller than you know
Larger than you think
What am I?

 

[GST_Nemisis]

sounds like a reflection

 

[dragonmage1703]

something you see in a mirror, or the actual mirror.
but for the most part im agreeing with nemisis.

 

[Malufa]

Still got a few more days left of the riddle, more people need to guess.

 

[The_Taxidermist]

Ill have a stab in the dark and say God

 

[GST_Nemisis]

Love? Hate?

 

[dragonmage1703]

the internet ^^

 

[GST_Nemisis]

the internet ^^

hey yeah that would work! it seems alot like that. the thing about riddles is that soemtimes it can be more than one thing, this deserves at least parcial credit

 

[Beebothecat]

OH OH!!!
I have a realllllyyyyyy good one.

A bus driver goes down a one way street the wrong way, then he goes past a stop sign without stopping, then he goes right on a turn left only junction.
A cop sees everything yet does nothing.
Why?

Hint: it has NOTHING to do with the cop. Dumb people just say "its because the cop is fat!!!" then they think they're really clever.

 

[Malufa]

Well for yours I am guessing the bus driver is walking. Also this is not a riddle.

The answer for my riddle is:

A photon or a quark

 

[Beebothecat]

How can photons/quarks be larger than we think?

What makes a riddle a riddle? Is it the poem like form?
Yes your answer is correct though. I think those are harder when said not written. Good job

 

[Malufa]

Yes, a riddle is in a poemesque (that a word?) format. Do you know how large a photon is? Or a quark? Most people think they are too small to ever be seen, they are morons. They are about a thousandth of a nanometer in size, much larger than they were theorized to be.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

:roll: that is not the best riddle for a photon or quark, not saying there are many better but its terribly missleading. the first two lines are very good but the last two dont really work because.........well they just dont...!

 

[Ralle]

Hmm. No one seems to have guessed it but [you] gave a good try!

 

[dragonmage1703]

thx
so what is it really?

 

[GST_Nemisis]

photons or quarks, these are basically small blips of energy if no-one had heard of them.

 

[darkkeijp]

damn saw this topic to late or else malufa i would have guessed it (never heard of a photon of a quark)

 

[GST_Nemisis]

ever heard of quantum physics?

 

[darkkeijp]

heard of it (but i hate scientific things on school)
tomorow physics studystudystudy

 

[GST_Nemisis]

i dont think ur gunna do much work on quantum physics at school, not unless bhor or hawking own it

 

[darkkeijp]

iqnt quantum physics something with atomic stuff and such things

 

[GST_Nemisis]

to an extent. quantum mechanics is a physical theory which extends and corrects newtonian mechanics, which are the three laws set out by newton. this is mostly important at the atomic and subatomic level. it is the underlying framework of many fields of physics and chemistry, including condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, and particle physics. quantum mechanics were famously described by bohr and einstien who put forward theroys which helped to create the atomic bomb.

In particle physics, quarks are subatomic particles thought to be elemental and indivisible. objects made up of quarks are known as hadrons, well known examples are protons and neutrons. they are considered (by most) to be the smallest particles in existance(along with leptons).

 

[Malufa]

Very good Dan, I am pleased you know of this field. It is a mall passion of mine, it is good to hear others with a similar interest, even tho we seem to share many little similarities such as this 8) I like how Quantum Physics can change based upon the perceptions and beliefs of the observer, or lack thereof, and since it deals with truly the fundamental existance and building blocks of reality, it helps to demonstrate that reality itself is mutable.

 

[darkkeijp]

hmmm k test physics went fine
tomorrow frensh
do we have frensch members?

 

[GST_Nemisis]

i speak and read french very well but i am poor at writing it. i make many spelling and gramma mistakes.

 

[dragonmage1703]

well this riddle was diabolical, considering noone got it ^^

 

[darkkeijp]

tommorow test dutch pfffff so boooooring

 

[GST_Nemisis]

i have the most important exams in my life happening right now. they determin if i go to university or if i get some crap job. i am almost finished wiht them, only 3 left. so far i have found them surprisingly easy and i hope that i will do well.

 

[Malufa]

Best of luck to all of you. Dan, I am sure you will do fine, just do what I did; remember that the test allows dumb people to pass, and you are not dumb, therefore you are smarter than the test, therefore you will do well.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

yes the only test i have found hard was todays one which was business studies. not because i didnt know the answers just because i ran out of time. however my business studies coursework was excellent and i dont need to get many marks for a pass so its ok.

BTW, good job on your 1000th post William! may you have many more in future, i know i will be looking forward to them.

 

[Malufa]

Wow, I did not realize I was that high already, thank you for pointing it out Dan. I thought I was in the mid 900s, guess I was wrong :!: I still have more posts than the majority of the other members combined, just not by as much of a lead now.
