You See The Media, and Reports. "Standard Candle". Why Do We See More super Nova, Than we Do Old stars dieing ? is there Any difference ? If So, What Info do We Ascertain From This ?

Why Could the Earth Inner core Be detached from the Crust with regards to spin ? (Quote) Because the inner core is not rigidly connected to Earth's solid mantle, the possibility that it rotates slightly faster or slower than the rest of Earth has long been entertained.[citation needed] In the 1990s,...

I have been looking into this, For the last two days. The guys are saying every 27 million years, we get a bombardment of comets, etc etc. Is This True ? Whats more, When was the last time this Happened ? How could we miss A Brown Dwarf On Our solar Door Step ? Is this A estimate Of What? Brings thi...

Here We go Again, About something little known. I agree with those who say such an object is unlikely to exist. At that distance, it would be in a very unstable orbit, so not a part of our original Solar System, just an unlikely temporary visitor. And the indirect evidence for it is weak at best. Ma...

Until we have the Full picture, nobody can answer that? That is certainly not true. We can provide reasonable answers to many things that are not fully understood- including the question that was asked at the beginning of this particular discussion. Nope, you did not provide any answers at all. Pro...

Nice try Bystander. - Nothing + Nothing = Universe. No Byte.

From the Wikipedia page about this topic ... The metric expansion of space is the increase of distance between distant objects in the universe with time. It is an intrinsic expansion—that is, it is defined by the relative separation of parts of the universe and not by motion "outward" int...

You might also want to read this page, which says, in part... Supernova Betelgeuse is in fact beyond scope of our interest due to negligible probability of explosion during next 100 years. Conditional probability is a different thing. IF it is about to explode in 2012, we should know it few weeks b...

It would be an amazing thing to see, but I'm not holding my breath... Tell me about it !!! I wish there was some way around the light barrier. I here they are doing great work with quantum computers now, that would be a method, if we had the means to get one far enough out. But like you said Chris ...

Well that's a new distance on me :

“Beetlejuice”; it’s no longer round. This is a huge star, and when it goes, it will be at least as bright as that 1054 supernova…except that this one is 520 light years away, not 6,300 [...]

430 ly 680 ly and now 520 ly away. which is it ?

My question, (Which I did ask), How the hell can he know this ? He can't! Nobody can! Anybody who tells you different is confused or listening to idiots. I'm of the same mind as you bystander. but my snag is , when my dad says something is going to happen, it usually does. my dad is a very clever m...

I spoke to my Father this week and he was very excited. He went on to tell me about the impending super nova we are all going to see this year 2011. his Words was, You will see it in the day time, it will be as bright as the sun. Then I went and asked him which star it was ? And he told me it was in...

One major view of dark energy is that it uniformly fills space in this way (at an extremely low density). The other view is that while its density is uniform on a large scale, it is locally distributed. If the second view is correct, there may be no dark energy at all in the space within atoms, for...

This may be a good time to present one of my "thought experiments". Let's say some being lived on an electron and wanted to travel to another electron orbiting the same atomic nucleus or to the atomic nucleus itself. What would be the possible range of velocities and times to accomplish t...

tally for deviance" = account for discrepancy = English + Wikipedia should give you my translation from English to American. Sorry, I still don't know what you are trying to say.The concept makes no sense to me in your context. Not knowing "HOW" Is a dead end. And is why folk have sp...

If you do not understand (HOW), at the local level, How can you tally for deviance ? For mostly any encounter ? And where is "Time" in all this ? Why ? Because "Time" is prevalent ? And we all know how GR talks about "Time". I have no clue what "tally for deviance...

GR does explain our observations, and no observation has cropped up that conflicts with GR. Nothing in the desire to know "how" mass warps space argues for a new approach to understanding gravity. If you do not understand (HOW), at the local level, How can you tally for deviance ? For mos...

Quote: The Geometric interpretation of General Relativity asserts that mass warps space and space steers mass, but it fails to explain how mass causes the warping of space in the first place. General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics conflict with each other, although theorists in each field assume t...

I think its time to reexamine those theories :idea: . I think Mark tries to question the basic concepts :cry: . Am I right Mark?!! :shock: I am afraid I have to say Yes to that. I Think Time is the key. That opens some of the doors. Einstein said " Time is a physical thing" And I take tha...

I am going to say one more thing in this thread, and that's me done. If you do not have all the facts, Then your picture of the Universe will be distorted. We Must open all the Doors. And explore all "Or" We may miss something. Do Not, Tell me that you have opened all them Doors, Because I...

Can several different frames of motion be represented mathematically inside multiple overall encompassing frames of reference ? Venn diagramming might apply, but I do not know this. I am simply trying to explain for myself why light might come into existence at the velocity of "c" in our ...

Owlice, since you r admin, I must refrain from speaking. I will never comment again. Good Bye.

Not so. As noted previously (several times), the explanation is found in GR.

GR Is like the weather forecast, it means nothing to most folk. And will be up dated. ( Did I Say Wrong,,, No ! )
