    black on white seems almost spiteful. can someone recommend/write a firefox add-on?

    that was a press thing, do you really believe we americans would add an extra syllable to our fries, we actually prefer to communicate in grunts as we stuff our faces.

  7. likewise on Huge Lenses To Observe Dark Energy · · Score: 1

    you can't observe charge because it is a fundamental force of nature, but i've never read a textbook that listed dark energy a fundamental force.

  8. Re:Why Lenses and Not Mirrors? on Huge Lenses To Observe Dark Energy · · Score: 1

    yes, a wide field of view is important when mapping 300,000,000 galaxies.

  9. Re:I don't think it exists. on Huge Lenses To Observe Dark Energy · · Score: 1

    lets look at EU (electric universe theory aka plasma science) since it predicts galaxy formation, rotation, and fractalization.
    something like 99 percent of matter is plasma, if you want to condense it into a super galaxy cluster or a star (hmmm...fractal in nature) the best way would be to use a pinch effect, stars would form along the threads of plasma (Birkland currents) that are connected to the center of mass/energy (think galactic plasma lamp) Remember that the electromagnetic force is many orders of magnitude greater than gravity--therefor these threads from a nearly rigid bond between the stars; this explains why stars at the edge of the galaxy rotate (yes gravity is still here) as fast as stars near the center--there is no need for dark matter.

    Now onto dark energy (expansion). If there are massive currents running throughout the universe then objects that are farther away from us will be connected to different threads than we are connected to, the ends of some threads are not in the visible universe, so naturally these distant galaxies will be rotating away from us.

    In a way dark energy is a good term, but a more concise term would be 'charge', you can't see charge on a copper wire but you can surely feel the effects of it.

    wooden instruments sound better the more you play them, something to do with the wood settling. so to answer your question, the originals we always be better.

    With their main industries being fishing, gold mining and timber they are unable to build a castle and advance to the internet age, hence their zero d/l stats.

    Science will naturally prevail. This will teach students to use science as a tool in the real world (where they will undoubtedly be confronted by crazy hobos in tinfoil caps.)

  15. Re:Electric universe on Eric Lerner's Focus Fusion Device Gets Funded · · Score: 0

    Has current cosmology made any headway in accepting itself? Last I heard they were still seeing exceptions to their own theory pulsar binary and the plasma universe was on the up and up with 50% of missing matter found to be intergalactic plasma. Of course the mainstream still claims all objects in space have a neutral charge and so can you, given that your able to ignore the wealth information that suggests otherwise: the sun and everything thing else.

  17. Re:Where does the magnetic field come from? on Black Hole Particle Jets Explained · · Score: 1

    Field generation Stellar magnetic fields are believed to be caused within the convective zone of the star. The convective circulation of the conducting plasma functions like a dynamo. This activity destroys the star's primordial magnetic field, then generates a dipolar magnetic field. As the star undergoes differential rotationâ"rotating at different rates for various latitudesâ"the magnetism is wound into a toroidal field of "flux ropes" that become wrapped around the star. The fields can become highly concentrated, producing activity when they emerge on the surface.[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_magnetic_field#Field_generation

    But aren't backholes magical singularities that physics has absolutely no explanation for? Or are they blackbodies that can behave like any star? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_body#Radiation_emitted_by_a_human_body

  18. Old hat on Black Hole Particle Jets Explained · · Score: 2, Informative

    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkeland_current "A Birkeland current generally refers to any electric current in a space plasma, but more specifically when charged particles in the current follow magnetic field lines (hence, Birkeland currents are also known as field-aligned currents). They are caused by the movement of a plasma perpendicular to a magnetic field. Birkeland currents often show filamentary, or twisted "rope-like" magnetic structure."

    I wonder when they will discover that these "super massive destructive forces" are actually electric powerhouses that light up the cosmos.
