Chaos Theory: Could the launch of the giant cruise ship cause the water to displace and flood Britain?

"Oasis of the seas"
This is surely a factor? :)

What do you reckon?

Haha! Smudge I knew someone would give me some maths
BOB you ole pessimist did the yanks use all our resources again then?







Answer :
Thankfully the only matter actually displaced consists of wealthy old widows, couples from Hemel Hempstead celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary and forty-somethings with fake tans. Sending these out to sea seems rather fortuitous. Toodle pip.

I smell another conspiracy look 'ere "wealthy" people on top-heavy boat (in more ways than one) just gotta sink hasn't it?
Another opportunity for programs about treasure hunters/robbers and nauseous Hollywood tragic love films I can sense the Mills and Boon types will be heaving over this novel.








Answer :
As Smudge suggests - the linear effect of displacement will not cause a problem - however Chaos theory supposed that small changes can accrue - and lead to larger ones- we presume this is how eddies and whorls arrive in streams which can lead to crashing torrents - if the launch of the ship caused an initial wave - that wave could be the initial source which accrues- and be like the butterflies wings.






Answer :
3 scenarios that could make it happen are

1) If the ship was soooooo large that it raised the sea level through out the entire world.

2) A very very very very large ship launched from Ireland that caused a tidal wave so large that it transversed the ocean and covered Britian.

3) The conditions were so right that wave interference created a large tidal wave.

In reality though, I don't see any of those scenarios ever happening.






Answer :
the surface area of the sea is 36100000000000 m^2 or 36100000 km^2
the volume of water displaced by the oasis of the seas is 160,000 m^3
This would mean that the average increase in sea depth is 4.43 x10^-9 m which is 0.00000443mm so is going to make very little change at all






Answer :
I think you will find that the vast mass of materials used to construct this Leviathan has somewhat decreased the mass of Dear Old Blighty. Thus Blighty will float more precariously upon the Earth's upper mantle. Thus leading to ten years of drought, famine and pestilence.

I hope I helped.






Answer :
No but if the butterfly effect theory is correct then there should be a tsunami on the other side of the world!






Answer :
Well, it didn't do this when it stopped off at Southampton on it's way across the Atlantic. But it wasn't launched there so I don't suppose it would!






Answer :
Doubt it old fruit, Brown has bled the country so dry the moment the wave hits blighty it will be sucked in and lost forever.

Are dogs allowed on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas?

If you don't know, please, save us both some time and don't write "idk"...don't write anything at all. If you know and dogs ARE allowed on the ship, where can they go and be at? Are they allowed in your room? In Central Park? Is there a kennel on-board? I know they have a pet shop on-board so it would be really retarded if they didn't allow pets...thanks!






Answer :
No pet-dogs allowed on the Oasis of the Seas. The only dogs allowed would be service dogs(for a blind passenger).

Im fairly certain that the only cruise line to accept dogs is, Cunards QE2 with restrictions.


Hope I helped!






Answer :
I was just on a cruise and was shocked to see a dog! Come to find out it belonged to the magician and was part of his show. Your dog however would not be allowed unless you need a service dog or get hired for a performance.






Answer :
There are no pets allowed on Royal Caribbean unless you show documentation that it is a service animal - sorry

How long do u wait before getting flight details through for a cruise, we're due to depart from UK on 4th Oct?

Just wondered out of interest.
Hol due to be paid in May and just wondered when we'd get flt details through.
Travlling with Royal Caribbean (Oasis of the Seas)
Thanks.






Answer :
You should get your documents 120 to 90 days before your cruise. Your travel agent will let you know. If you do not get them by say 45 days, then contact the travel agent asap. I don't know about Royal Caribbean, but with Princess, most of your documents you get on line from your itinerary to your boarding pass. The only thing they send is you flight info, and your luggage tags. Even your flight tickets are E tickets with Princess. So this may be the same with RC too.






Answer :
This sounds funny.

Even 11 months away they should have given you the basic flight details (which might actually vary a bit timewise on final confirmation).

Having to pay by May is also unusual, don't know of any other cruise line wanting to be paid in full 5 months before the trip, usually it's 8 weeks! Unless it is a big discounter who wants paying on booking but of course you are then paying a lot les than dealing with the line direct.






Answer :
If you booked your flights through the cruise line [hopefully you didn't], then you may not find out your flights until a couple of weeks before your flight. You'll get a much better deal and better connections and flights if you book the flights yourself, usually. You also won't get your cruise documents until a month or so before your cruise.






Answer :
You have plenty of time to look/wait for deals. Start looking now to see how it looks, but dont book yet. Check every airline that you can possibly use to travel and apply all discounts (such as an auto club).
We usually book flights 6/7 months before we depart. Also, most airlines will give you a credit if the price drops from the time you book to the time near departure. Keep that in mind. I saved $265 one year, just by checking there website`s prices.


Hope I helped!
