Starship Asterisk*

I presume this is a wind up

One for Harry and Michael

This could be the next stage in your quest to debunk those facists at NASA

I say we all just agree with Harry from now on cos its like talking to a rather dense brick wall - in fact he should get his own thread to just rant about the big bang being wrong, how the sun is a giant peach melba and where he can list websites to his hearts content:) bless

Harry, As we look further back in time (ie to higher redshift in the HDF and GOODS etc) we see an increase in the fraction of irregular galaxies as I mentioned in another thread. This is proof that the the galaxies in the universe are evolving with time on mass. Like I said in my other post your con...

Hi Harry Remind me what you're theory is again I'll take a guess that you either mean: 1. that the Universe goes through multiple big bangs and big crunches and we are currently in the latest one of these - this would be impossible to distinguish from a BB Universe for obvious reasons although the o...

I do all of my research into rich galaxy clusters out to z=1 and find no evidence that their formation is inconsistent with the Big Bang. How much research have you done harry to pluck this 100Gyr number out of thin air? When I say research I don't mean reading wikipedia or some nut job's website.

pretty bright, not as clear as the image you posted but still obvious once your eyes are accustomed. Its a fantastic sight

Excellent pic Orca, I was there a couple of weeks ago and seeing the southern sky for the first time made the long nights in the Blanco control room worthwhile

correct there is no Newtonian way that light can be influenced by gravity unless it is assigned a mass. GR means that massive objects curve spacetime thus light follows this curved path and its path is therefore deviated

astro is of course correct Harry, the people you list are hasbeens and morons. I realise you have deeply held beliefs for whatever reason that the BB never happened (I'm sure you will tell me they aren't beliefs but science fact and then list a load of other urls for the flat earth society) and to b...

I take your point harry that in some way the big bang and fine tuning of certain parameters does sound a bit like humans have an over inflated opinion of themselves. Interestingly though it is such weak and strong anthropic principles which astronomers and theoretical mathematicians are uncomfortabl...

No way that guy really can walk on water

Hey crater, look at todays APOD. Can you redo the image with all the features of war highlighted and post it up please

To me the bible is one of the most technologicaly advanced books that mankind can only now with todays sciences comprehend. You'd have a hard job understanding anything more advanced than Ladybirds 'My first book of space' then :) . But seriously what does this statement mean Norval? I doubt you kn...

who cares, can we not just get back to insulting your crackpot theories about a war causing all the craters in the universe. It makes me giggle

Sloppy Norval, very sloppy. And here was me thinking you were an expert researcher

2 things which I assume you find difficult

As an example, Hubbles Advanced Camera for Surveys Wide Field Camera used for most of hubbles galaxy images has a resolution of 0.05 arcsec per pixel. Pluto has a size just under 0.1 arcseconds on the sky so it is only covered by 2 pixels. The pretty galaxies we see in hubble images subtend a larger...

Crater - I presume you only come on here with a theory that you know yourself is total hogwash because you crave attention. Very odd.

yeah I think you got us both confused then. Can I ask why there would be a war on Callisto and Ganymede? And if there was why are there no signs of civilisation on our moon. You wouldn't want to just bomb an empty landscape. Presumably the moon is covered in wreckage from this war. Perhaps you shoul...

It is in terms of the main sequence. The largest stars are the most massive.

so you're suggesting instead a race of laser toting aliens did it? and you think this is more likely than random chance?

Also some telecsopes have these diffraction spikes due to diffraction with some of the mirror and equipment supports

I'm sorry are these people mentally ill? Aliens? Craters? Whatever next?

Harry - "Hey! this is my opinion and the opinion of many cosmologists. "

Not any I've met Harry and I've met a lot.
