Re: Origin of the universe
Poor dumb bear . Can't protect itself from us unscroupulous humans . This is a prime example of how you twist what you see to suit your views . Mine is just opinion and truthfully expressed . You can make of it what you will it won't change my beliefs. I don't expect to change yours . Just place a b...

Re: Origin of the universe
Or, as most people would call that "clutter", ideas supported by the weight of evidence and observation. Sorry, but if you want to pick at modern physics, you'll have to do a lot better. Hey and don't quarks move faster than light? No. Every particle with a rest mass greater than zero tra...

Re: APOD: Wonder and Mystery above the VLT (2011 May 09)
No thats not correct
It was my mistake .
The cross leads the pointers around in a clockwise direction always .
I can see mymistake tonight in which the night stars are fantastic as its a clear cold night in Paradise

Re: Origin of the universe
"curved space" Man you have really got it bad . Stand back ,sit down under a tree ,take the time and have another look . This curved space idea is because we can't really draw it in three dimensions. You have let the 2 dimension demonstrable model take hold of your imagination. The black m...

Re: Origin of the universe
Well that was disappointing . Not much to chew on there. So C is the maximum speed of light . Mmm OK so all the particals we have found that travel faster than light reflect light how exactly , exactly how do we see them ? Any red shift or blue there?

Re: Origin of the universe
Guess a black hole does not count ? There is enough mass in there to not only slow light but stop it moving out at all . So what wonderous thing are you going to invent to refute that. My conception of time speeds up as I get older and it is apparent to younger people that I am slowing down . Its ap...

Re: Origin of the universe
Neither time nor light are slowed by gravity. You are confusing the way that these things are measured between non-inertial frames with their physical behavior. Nah . Not how its seen nowadays-the GPS satellites clocks run faster and must be adjusted or they will be out after even 1 day. That delay...

Origin of the universe
I often wonder how so many people can continue to believe that their religion is the right one when none offer any simple or even complex proofs. Why then could otherwise smart astronomers and particle physicists continue to believe that the universe has an end somewhere . Why would it ? What is out...

Pleiades and Stardust (2009 Oct 14)
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap091014.html Who is it that is making these absolute statements as if they know? If this is the ejected material of one side of a black hole spewing new stars forth and we are watching directly over a pole then the gas could be a very big part of the new star formation pro...

Bombing the moon (2009 Oct 8)
Suppose its just like sitting down with a .22 and plinking at cans.You assume the ants won't shoot back . But what if they did ? Did anyone think to advertise in some way we were going to blow chunks out into space and then fly another bomb in through that dust. If there is a race sitting quietly be...

Site is wavering from original concept
It looks like there are not as many stars as we think because the powers to be on the site don't seem to be able to stick with astronomical pics but rather are veering to vary the product like a chemist selling groceries or a dentist doing accounting on the side. I would prefer they stick to the Cha...

Re: Cause of Triple Sunrise (APOD 2009 August 4)
If it is not the glass then what about reflection from clouds at different height levels behind the first cloud. Cloud is obvious from the picture. The main pic is the sun the next left is a reflection of the sun off the closest cloud back to the second cloud and forward to the eye. The next left is...
