Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR)

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, most commonly known as NMR spectroscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), is a spectroscopic technique to observe local magnetic fields around atomic nuclei. The sample is placed in a magnetic field and the NMR signal is produced by excitation of the nuclei sample with radio waves into nuclear magnetic resonance, which is detected with sensitive radio receivers. The intramolecular magnetic field around an atom in a molecule changes the resonance frequency, thus giving access to details of the electronic structure of a molecule and its individual functional groups. As the fields are unique or highly characteristic to individual compounds, in modern organic chemistry practice, NMR spectroscopy is the definitive method to identify monomolecular organic compounds.
Person 1: Do you think our laboratory needs an NMR-spectrometer?

Person 2: I've heard they're unbelievably expensive, but Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is an essential analytical procedure for sure .

Death Magnetic

An album that combines the poetic verses of load and reload with a taste of their earlier thrash style to form a meaningful yet headbanging set of songs that continues Metallica's long tradition of making their own sound and name, much to the dismay of people looking to define them to a certain genre or sound that they prefer.
I listen to Death Magnetic and Metallica because they are good artistically in any sound they choose to play, not just because they play "thrash" or "metal".

Dio con il culo magnetico nella valle dei cazzi di ferro

A complex profanity in italian. It means litterally "God with a magnetic ass in the valley of the iron cocks". Used mostly for fun.
"Now, let's do a challenge for the funniest profanity!"
"Ok, i'll begin: Dio con il culo magnetico nella valle dei cazzi di ferro!"
"Ahahaha that was cool!"

magnetic ribbon syndrome

the condition of torpor whereby the sufferer relies on the back of his/her car to convey to the world (or those behind them in traffic) their beliefs, hopes, prayers and opinions. extreme cases can damage a car's alternator and/or skew the magnetic polarity of the earth. origins can be traced to tony orlando though not necessarily dawn.
cruel world! so many causes, so few outlets for my ardor!
i must declare what i believe/hope/pray/opine by affixing yet another slogan to the rear of my car by means of yet another magnetic ribbon, this one in hope of finding a cure for the dread
magnetic ribbon syndrome.

Death Magnetic

The key to Metallica's salvation. In a strange turn of events Kirk Hammet discovered how to time travel back to the 80s where he rediscovers how to blow peoples minds with hardcore solos and badass licks that will blow peoples minds
Have you heard Death Magnetic yet?
BOOOOOOOOM
Head explodes

agnostic

Litteraly meaning a lack of claim to knowlege. Generaly is refering to a lack of claim to knowelge about the possible existance of god(s).
One can be an agnostic theist. Meaning that while they personally believe in a god they are open to the idea that they could be wrong. Or an agnostic atheist who personally believes there is no god(s) but also admits they have no real way of knowing the truth.
The term agnostic is ment to be used in conjunction with the words theist or atheist but will often be used as a stand alone deffinition of ones beliefs. Agnostic's will often be split in the middle of these two phiolsophys.

Is the opposite of gnostic- meaning a claim to knowlege.
Agnostic person: "I don't think its possible to tell if there is or isn't a god but I respect your beliefs as long as your not murdering or raping people as part of them."

Other agnostic person: "We will find out the truth on this issue when we are dead and I would not care to die sooner just to find the answer."
