Starship Asterisk*

Even if 'deep oil' is true, why does that mean the moon should have tar-pits? Given its smaller size and mass it would have cooled much more rapidly, and part of the deep oil theory is that it is the internal heat that forces that oil to migrate toward the surface.

Unfortunately, no - if there were a perpetual 'give and take', there would have to be some multiple of universes forming a 'closed system', and with such an interdependency there would have to be 'communication' between them. And since a universe is 'complete unto itself', such communication cannot ...

It's a long way back to my 3rd-year Cosmology course at Mac in '73/'74, so the details aren't all that clear now, but there was some postulation that 'our' gravitational singularities (black holes) might be offset by 'white holes'. Some of the suggestions related to quasars being the other end of th...

Sorry, there is no inside/outside - the UNIVERSE is ALL THERE IS. We know that there are areas of star/galaxy formation; in the basic concepts of entropy, these areas are becoming MORE ORGANIZED. Correspondingly, all other areas of the universe (on average) must be LOSING ORGANIZATION. Without going...

Sorry, but the 'stitch' does nothing for me except distort the 3 perfectly obvious chains in the left image to the right and below the gap in the mosaic. Have you tried projecting a fill of the missing data rather than a stitch? The image reminds me of Long Point Bay in deep winter, with the pressur...

starryknight Hello from another newcomer. Your last question is far more relevant than the searching for revelation in the technical drapings of cosmology and relativity. And the answer to <<So does this god have control of all the universe or just this part of it.>> is that there is no control, no ...

Maybe what we see 13b l/y to the right is EXACTLY what we see 13b l/y to the left? Are we 'living' in a Klein bottle?

Given that the galactic center is some 30,000 l-y away, it was likely gone some time ago.

Any information on where/how the image is mosaiced? Or am I the only one who sees an apparent linearity within the gouge @ 45deg. below the shadow?
