This is one of Harry's links. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap040411.html I have a couple of questions about this image. 1) Is the single small bright spot in the exact center of the image the galactic center or is it the two larger but slightly less luminous patches slightly to the right of cen...

http://fusedweb.pppl.gov/CPEP/Chart_Pages/5.Plasmas/SunLayers.html Instead of speculation, try researching. By observations of orbital speeds of the planets, the Sun's diameter, variance in rotational speed of the Sun, the magnetic field, Doppler/acoustic measurements of the surface, and so on the p...

The speed of light is constant. But! relative to some objects it can be reduced to zero. Gravity will affect the speed of light and its direction relative to the objects around it. Keep smiling The speed of light can be reduce to zero only if you allow X/0 to be a valid equation. There will be none...

Re: oil on the moon
For fear of showing some of my ignorance in public, but does anyone here know the chemical-mechanical reaction required to " make crude oil" ???? There is a debate if crude oil is the by-produce of ancient algae filled seabeds transformed over the eons to oil, or if the hydro-carbons are ...

With the universe expanding its average temperature is dropping, same total energy, larger area. For entropy to reverse either more energy needs to be added to the system or the size of the universe needs to decrease. Time/space is dependant on matter and gravity, so there may be a point where the s...

That is not necessaraly true, a distant galaxy is giving off electromacnetic radiation, heat, gravity and so on. Once the energy leave the system as entropy, it will never return causing a net cool down. This means at some point far in the future, when all the possible reactions have taken place, al...

Here is a link I found on the galaxy recycling theory that's been poses: http://www.galaxytheory.com/#SHA There is no science here. The density vs. forces in a stirred cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows will blow the theory right out of the water. There is no quantitative reference to the forces...

Where did everything that gets recycled come from? Please refer back to my earlier posting on entropy/matter and mathematically proving why time cannot be infinite before posting a reply.harry wrote:The question where does everything come from?
Should be changed to:
How does everything get recycled?.

Could these distant red galaxies in fact be full of huge red stars being first generation stars giving them their red color? The answer to your question is, no. The red shift doesn't really pertain to the color of the stars, it pertains to the Doppler change in the signatures of the elements. Hydro...
