Be careful! IF you go too far "Beyond", you may find that time runs very slow, or is even non-existent, which will defeat your proving any "seccentricisms".

Careful They may not be real words but they are quite descriptive . For instance I might be accused of being "seccentric" from time to time. :oops: Time to time?? I thought that was pretty much your normal state of being. 8-) Careful or I'll turn you into Darth Matter. :ninja: May the unk...

Why are scientists trying to stop light from moving?

Bullseye er, Saturn's eye. What a shot!

How engineers are beating nature.

Ah, a new term. I don't recall ever having heard the term "light-centuries" before.

Heck, that's even a lot of miles!

The people at M.I.T. are smart. They invented what's on this video, whatever it is, a couple of years ago.

Here is a 16 minute somewhat Sirius view of how our solar system was made.

Sometimes this thread is a really big shew.

Number 4 would seem to take care of all the rest rather decently, IF it was 'armed'. Otherwise, it would require a direct hit and may be very painful.

Gamma rays? Isn't that how the Hulk got started? Wouldn't have to worry too much about Aliens taking over with a planet population of Big green humans.

So that's what you look like when your students get unruly.

I just tried the first videos again, Ann and they still wouldn't play for me. I guess they only like color commentators.

I don't mind at all, Ron. I found this picture amongst a whole bunch of assorted old pictures and didn't remember seeing it in the Asterisk* anywhere.
Unfortunately, for me, the videos you added don't play. The white circles just go round and round and round and round and.... nothing else happens.

If this picture isn't already somewhere in the Asterisk*, it is now.


Taken from space 1946

Things seemed to have improved considerably since 1946.

What an unusually nice picture of our neighborhood star. My first thought when i saw it, was 'Ann'. I think It would make a very good avatar for a color commentator.

Yes, if you get to close to a black hole, you could end up very black and blue!

I'm sure that once the Owl has flown back and put her feathers in order and has had a cup of hot chocolate (or two), she'll begin regurgitating lots of goodies of what went on.

They start getting low on water, they can be at least somewhat bizarre, especially when they're connected to a trickle charger for a long time. On the outside, where it can be seen, the batteries flow is from positive to negative. On the inside, it's from negative to positive. So there is two direct...
