Robotic Telescope Unravels Cosmic Blast Mystery

An anonymous reader writes "The Register is reporting that scientists from Liverpool John Moores University have used their robotic telescope in the Canary Islands to measure the polarization of light from a Gamma Ray Burst just 203 seconds after its detection by NASA's Swift Gamma Ray Observatory Satellite. The result suggests that the emitting material flowing out from the explosion may not be highly magnetized in the way that some theories had predicted."

    Just about every time I report to people on this forum that observed data is conflicting with their defined model of the universe. I get moderated as troll. I really wish people would wake up and smell the coffee. The data is vastly different from the assumptions.

    Doesn't anyone remember the Stardust recovery. It was going to find comet ice. Sorry folks... it must be summer and we just ran out of ice. Of course we have minerals that formed at high heat, (not cold temps) and which would have been destroyed by water. How about a thousand other similar observations that just about shout that the universe doesn't fit the nice box most people believe in right now. The data is out there and it says a completely different story. For example, how if the sun is a nuclear energy furnace does the matter ejected by it speed up as it passes the earth and further out as measured at Saturn? The G-Force hypothesis and Atomic Fusion model of the solar system don't work that way folks! Things would slow down on the way out.

    Of course being a good scientist and noting such things on this forum has to be troll! I agree: "At some point, you have to go back to your assumptions and figure out where you went wrong." -- You went wrong -> (to those who mod troll) when you decided to shout down good science questions. The previous poster is right. I just hope we will begin to question the defined reality and challenge the religion that is parading around in the mask of science right now.
