Starship Asterisk*

Well, apodman, now that you've had your hissy fit, and I know how a new idea can seem to be threatening, and it really upsets your applecart that you've spent your lifetime building, it would be good to understand the valid points Electric Theory is making, and a lot of inexplicable things to mainst...

Do you really want to know what I think? and are you willing to allow me to express it ? without censorship ? The right side galaxy is in the shape of a corkscrew, going clockwise; from 5 o'clock where the stars are sort of fuzzy looking, that is closest to us, it then spirals up to 12, which is a l...

Hi Harry, If black holes form, or rather massively compact objects !, they would have an event horizon in theory and I would say, yes, in actuality as well, BUT, in my ineffible estimation, black holes are not allowed to form because : As nature abhors a vacuum, it also abhors a black hole ! I suspe...

Henk, I've always admired your posts and your math, but, this one seems to be going in the wrong direction, in my mind anyway. Here goes: >> "The time needed to evapourate a black hole of one proton mass, due to Hawking radation, is given by: 5120 2 π² G² M³ / (h c² c²) G = 6.67E-11 [Nm²/kg²], ...

You've done so many amazing things !

"With further collapse one of the two possibilities will occur, either Pauli’s exclusion principle would be violated and the black hole would eventually collapse to a singularity, or Pauli’s exclusion principle would hold good and would avert the collapse of the black hole to a singularity, and...

Thanks Henk for your great posts. " So, alternatively, if by any means it would be possible to estimate the current magnetic field of the imploded star, an estimation (of a few orders of magnitude) can be given of the strength of the magnetic field of the star before it exploded. The shape of a...

http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html "The notable absence of impact craters suggests that the entire surface is covered with new volcanic deposits much more rapidly than craters are created. What drives this volcanic powerhouse? A likely energy source is the changing gravitational tides caus...

The Far 3kpc Arm is located on the far side of the galactic center, from our Sun. The near 3kpc Arm is located on our side of the galactic center. Other than that, the Long Bar going thru the galactic center has a sudden brightening of stars where it touches the spiral arms. As the arms pass the Lon...

< The question does arise, that if a graviton is the CARRIER of gravity, could radiation in some form hitch a ride on a graviton or ride a gravity wave if outside matter is present? > - and carry inside event horizon information to outside the event horizon. In my view of all this, Energy and Inerti...

Try the last chapter in Hawking's 'A Brief History of Time'. If my memory serves me well. We each have our way of seeing, or imaging, the world; and so there is a large conceptual gulf between us of translation losses. That can get worked thru over time. I have a lot of homework to do to get up to s...

It is good you take me to task on this. My great idea suddenly seems rather unwell thought out. I was seeing Inertia (by which I mean Momentum also, and the rotating I spoke of was meant as angular momentum) as being the conglomerate angular momentum of everything inside of the event horizon. What i...

"Evaporation is more a semantical inaccuracy than a physical state." Henk Here's how my understanding goes, and it begins with the Hawking idea that space and time trade properties upon crossing the event horizon: Space becomes 'time like' and time becomes 'space like', in that as one move...

It's the Son of the Jolly Green Giant !

Thanks much David.

Good thing The Planetary Society didn't use Beta for their medium, how would the Martians ever play that, they'd need a time machine to get the technology. lol

Perhaps stone carvings are the best medium for preservation yet discovered or tried.

Great idea to include a cd with the lander ! I wonder how the Martians will play it! Probably use a cd player they got at Walmart last year ! haha When we go there with manned landings in 30 years we can test how the cd survived. It probably will. Can you imagine what a cd collector would someday pa...

Art, neufer; Great identifying of the areas in the photo and the two scales at top right !! Thanks very much for these. I wasn't certain where eta Carinae was, nor of the size scale, I appreciate your efforts very much ! In a circle 3-5 light years surrounding eta Carinae there looks to be a huge ma...

Oliver Manuel has great respect for the scientific method, and all his papers prove this. It is the mainstream scientific community that hates him because he is an outsider and shows that mainstream is wrong about some very basic things. The clique of mainstream hates outsiders who show them they ar...

Currently we don't know how heavy elements form, but there are a couple of theories, and the newest isn't accepted by the old folks yet. 1. The so-called standard solar model has fusion in the solar interior making elements up to iron, heavier than that it takes a nova or supernova to produce them, ...

"Going further, it seems reasonable to expect that the likelihood of a neutron star colliding with a "regular" star is much smaller still, and the likelihood of two neutron stars colliding is somewhere between vanishingly small and no way in heck." Agreed ! With major size mass-b...

"The comparison is drawn between viral self-assembly and the autonomous growth of non-living crystals." So why are we so quick to say that crystals are not a lifeform? They can change kinetic energy in to electrical energy and we still can't explain how they do that ! "Virus self-asse...

Hi iamlucky, After school I spent a decade unlearning all the crap I learned in High School and figuring out who I was. Then I started working on houses and doing construction, read Scientific American a lot, but not much contact with heavy science till the late nineties. That's why ! The principles...

Around 1970 I did a report for school, and picked bacteriophages for the subject. I was quite surprised to read about them, knowing zip before. It blew away the teacher too! Was surprised and pleased to read a great deal more about them today, basically none inbetween then and now. As it looks like ...
