Slashdot Mirror
Mysterious MilkyWay Warp Finally Explained?
* * Beatles-Beatles writes to tell us Space.com is reporting that scientists think that a collision between mysterious 'dark matter' and two of the Milky Way's nearby neighbors may be causing our galaxy to warp 'like a vinyl record left out in the hot Sun.' From the article: 'The warp is most clearly visible in a thin disk of hydrogen gas that extends across the entire 200,000-light-year diameter of the Milky Way. Viewed sideways, one half of the hydrogen disk appears to stick up above our galaxy's plane of stars and gas, while the other half dips below the plane for a bit and then rises upward again farther away from the galaxy's center.'"
I'm jumping ship. Slashdot is a good time waster, but a bit redundant IMO (anything major I'll hear about, anything that interests me I can go elsewhere to read about, like Digg). It's shit like this that keeps on happening over and over with no care taken. I have better things to do with my time.
Everytime you look at porn a devil gets their horns.
You had me until there.
(lameness neutraliser operate, nothing to see here. writing this padding stuff is much harder than it looks, but you shouldn't be looking here anyway)
