Starship Asterisk*

Well said Bilderback, sometimes it can be hard for non-scientists to see the difference between speculation and real science (not partly due to the crazy articles sometimes seen in new scientist and scientific american which can make speculation appear like real science). I thought I was the only o...

Harry, I admit it leans toward speculative science and time will tell if its validity holds up. If you weren't aware of the difference between true science and speculative science, speculative science is just beyond the borders of established theory, a place which the facts seem to point but whose e...

C Downunder,

The Voynich Manuscript I believe is the source of Makc's signature, I bet he would love someone to translate it for him!

I found this site to be interesting.

I think you might be getting it!

Beginners have told me they like this one.

A neutron has no charge and yet has a mass. A neutron is a formation of 3 quarks, a neutrino is much much smaller than a quark, it is also much smaller than an electron, a neutrino's size scale is so small they can pass right through atoms and only about one in 10 X 10^28 will knock one low energy p...

But, some of the post Einstenian theories have been bit beffling to a simple mind like mine. Like someone had come up with "singularity" explaination for the Tunguska Blast, and it makes you wonder, if singularity did pass through the earth, why would not it collapse earth around it? Can ...

As far as I know the Sun was formed from second and/or third generation recycled Big Bang remnants. Is there something in that article that states differently?

I've seen the topic but I haven't read this article - yet, looks interesting. I'll let you know what I think once I finish (spare time is short).

Refutation? It's hard to find anything that isn't being refuted by someone.

And welcome Dogshead!

I'm guessing it was about 2PM, quite cold - in the 20-30F range. Quite cold? Where I come from we a looking for our tee shirts at 20* F For ice crystals to form in the amount need, I would guess that some much colder air was trapped above 3000 ft line. The wetter, warmer air must have been mixing w...

ME TOO!!!!!

A little more information would help. What time of day, where was the Sun in relation to the horizon, the estimated temperature, are there any mountains, valleys, bodies of water?

Did this involve any alcohol or controlled substances? Just kidding!

It looks like someone opend the door to the dark room!

Seeing the lovely Tadpole galaxy collision remanents, a question occured to me as to why galaxies collide if after the bigbang everything was flung perpendicularly from a single point at tremendous velocities. Furthermore, the visible universe is known to be continuously expanding and even accelera...

I hear it was like flying in a cluttered section of ductwork.

The universe might be in a "Steady State” but not in the four-dimensional state you are trying to box it into. According to factors in the "String Theory" other 'pieces', at least half, of the universe may not effected by space/time. Because these 'pieces' do not interact within our 4...

Most people use the String Theory to explain the minimal makeup of the universe. The string theory also can explain the "Non-conservation" of mass and energy seen in accelerometers. To make a long story short, total mass/energy are not always conserved in atomic collisions, small amounts o...

I am well aware of the flaws in the big bang theory, what I'm asking for is how your theory explains the issues in question. Note: don't forget how big infinity is and that X/0 in not excepted. If the universe was infinitely old: Entropy states, as time approaches infinity, the more uniform matter a...

Harry, I have posted major pieces of evidence that all but rules out your theory: 1. The entropy of the universe 2. The mathematically representation that time cannot be infinite 3. CBR, the Cosmic Background Radiation data 4. The red shift tracing most matter back to a central point If you theory c...

Most hydrocarbon ice darken do to radiation exposure, but new cratering exposes the lighter colored ice below. So it is either a geologically inactive moon or its not hydrocarbon ice.

After a nova explosion, neutrinos detectors spike before the photons of the nova reaches the Earth. That could be because neutrinos travel faster than light or the mechanics of a nova explosion ejects neutrinos as a precurser to the nova.

It is believed that most of the "Wandering Stars" were ejected from galactic collisions.

"The Largest Rock in the Solar System " , marvelous picture! This was a year after Voyager passed Neptune, and four years after Uranus. Does anyone know how much longer Voyagers cameras keep working, if in fact the cameras ever broke down. Thanks. Ken Jacowitz The Voyagers have about 15 y...

As soon as I work out the bugs in my hyperdrive I think I'll spend an afternoon there taking in the view.
