Starship Asterisk*

A comment thread with regards a story on Yahoo about the san Andreas faults underground geologic substructure mike • Los Angeles, California • 4 hrs ago Omg, not another one of those confusing things, I’ve had enough dam-it. I want to know right now who favor is and why everyone always talks about h...

Well, because of the reason of " Why Not " If one were standing on direct center of both the north or the south pole the date might be a little tricky to figure out, ad that to the possibility of such taking place on our moon and? To say nothing of what the date or time would be on some ot...

Aside from both the misspelling and the banter herein along with the age old question that every human whom has ever lived has likely pondered at one time or another. “ What date is it on the moon “ ( LOL ) Because this thread has been brought back from the dead, what of the statement in my opening....

Besides the Andromeda galaxy; which is said to he on a collision course with the Milky Way, here are two others that would seem to be well down the road to assimilation with ours. So then exactly how much truth is the statement (When astronomers look into the cosmos they see that every object is mov...

Thanks for that answer Chris but sadly (and generally always the case on this website) Every time I ask about something the reply has a return value of 10 –1 in questions stemming from the original. I wonder, are the lives of professional cosmologists (such as yourself) In the same boat Except for t...

With regards to the conjecture; as of late, concerning Neutrinos being detected moving faster than light (see OPERA neutrino anomaly). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino. I found the following statement in the discussions forum at the Physorg website. It can't be. The two are polar opposites. The photon...

The apostrophe came along for the ride in a copy / paste, its most peculiar that I could not find any specified date for the quote and I searched quite a bit. The 1/50th is my bad, I had meant 50% of but do keep in mind; ladies and gentlemen, that I am just a simple cabinetmaker just like my father ...

As soon as the JWT finds a rock located in the Goldilocks zone (Of which I so much hope it does) How about a plan for visiting / Inhabiting it? Forget the constant fixation on the limits of current tech. 1/50th of C. a 12 Yr. Trip ?. The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has it’...

Hi Chris, thanks for your reply and nice job you have there I must ad for the 3rd or 4th time. But if you would clarify what you wrote just a bit? You would see nothing much to do with such technology for (Manned deep space flight) If we did develop it. That is due to the cost of sending humans as o...

For all practical purposes, yes I am sincerely grateful that I am living out my life in this century as opposed to the old horse and buggy days but darn (And dam as well) it sure would be awesome to live during a time when it was possible to visit some of the many multitude of wonders that even this...

Thanks for the replies all / as for the advice to visit wikipedia for answers, yes that is certainly an option and I did consider doing so but due to the fact that I have seen a great many actual hands on astronomers and etc, etc scientists browsing this site and taking the time to answer questions ...

Haven’t heard a thing about this situation since the post, anyone have any further info in the matter / why the plasma was reaching such extreme temperatures? Explanation: Why is this plasma so hot? Physicists aren't sure. What is known for sure is that the Z Machine running at Sandia National Labor...

I have and Aunt and an Uncle that were both professors at Purdue university in Lafayette Indiana, My aunt psychology and my uncle physics. Both are retired now and my aunt has recently passed away. Now in 1997 while they were both here in California visiting I was talking to my Uncle about what was ...

I suppose it is very good news that we have found another rock that may indeed be habitable because it seems to me we are driving this one into the ground. Moreover I would be the first to suggest that for the most part we are simply many different tribes of semi-intelligent rampaging apes, ravaging...

Yes indeed very touching story Ann, moreover I’m certain I like you a lot. As for space travelers, it would be great if this would happen, let alone in my lifetime but my personal beliefs on the subject are as follows. For starters, truly space is the perfect word for the cosmos, there is lots and l...

Yes I think someone named Honkoski used to say that on this site, before he went incognito and changed it to TXC or THC something. You know how those dam Irish are. DEE - DEE - DEE And who could ever forget someone that posted this under an old thread FTL speed But sir we’ve never gone to ludicrous ...

I fricken love this site, all of you crack me up constantly, how about you makc, where you at with your reply to this thread we got going round here? Astronomy picture of the day #1 Physorg.com #2 Cant tell you #3 but I’m certain you could guess Good day all, headed to the beach to catch some waves ...

Indeed, My personal round favorite / The beach boys. Round, round get around I get around The reuleaux looks cool and all; and thank you all for your posts so far, but it’s made of round. Seems everything in this here universe wants to be so, I bet the entire place; if we could see all 95 billion li...

As per that ending, alternate hypothesis from neufer
Wow

Round all around us Look anywhere you want and they are there, I mean everywhere. Try to build a car without round things, tires, pistons crankshaft the list is endless. Try to build a home without round, pipes, house wiring “ yes the wires are round “ door handles the list is endless. The monitor y...

And when or if craterchans makes the thousand point mark, he would be titled what mackc.
I wonder what happened to him anyway ? Rubber room possibly, taken prisoner due to some galactic war far far away??

Hi Chris I was going over / looking at the / your cloudbait link and going over some of the past occulation graphs for Pluto shown there and i was wondering why the graphs seem to jump around, that is rather than flowing evenly. Is this due to star / sun flares that would do that, mountains on Pluto...

Build anything one layer at a time...How about a flawless 12" refractor lens..or? In any event it has already been tested aboard a recent shuttle mission, ( Abstract ) No need to bring spare parts with this thing on board. ScienceDaily (Nov. 11, 2009) — A group of engineers working on a novel m...

The universe is expanding,,,,,,ok. And it is expanding into what ? Space is expanding into more space, and or what is space expanding into ?

Wow, exclamation point and a period. That is really something, imagine though matter is indeed moving away from us at a rate seemingly well above that of c we can still observe It. The total velocity of distant photons is not constant because it is the sum of the distance-dependent recession velocit...
