Oh, so right. Garages are our way of future inovations. If we can park a car in a garage, why not park an idea, or two on what to do next. We need to take this, next level. No playing around. A clusterfuck is putting things mildly. This is a sm clusterfuck with no orgasm. How whorable! Don't give up, maybe you, or someone like you can come up with a good concept, so we can take this BIG! How about artful official intelligence, where the search asks, "How are you doing? Would you care to see some pop ups in your tastes?" "Tell me exactly what you are seeking, and I will find..." Geared exactly to your tastes. The search may take a little longer, but who cares, if it will narrow things down to what you may want? But what about those who don't mind searching through everything, no matter what? Some people go out of their way, just to be nosey, even if thedon't need to. I know someone who will look through everything, even though the thing is staring right at them. They just want to see what else is there. Aside from that, a good many people just want to get to what they are seeking, so a program that helps one do that will take a lot of familiarity with the user, if you know what I mean, jelly bean?
Every eight minutes because of the speed of light taking that time to get here. This is happening constantly, as our sun is always shining. Perhaps (E)Magnetics play a bigger role than mere gravity in tying us together?
Need not be so hard on the pirates, why they're doing their job as well as can be expected, increasing in number by the thousands, probably each day. What they need to focus on is to heal the rift between our lost privacy, too many viruses, and way to much advertising. With gimmicks like these, who needs pirates?
Bill Gates of heaven, or off hell, please take your time to tell this tale to those of us within your spell.
You have a very interesting way of laying out. Funny how that instead of 2001 A Space Odyssey, we got 9-11-2001, oddly? Hal got together with Big Brother after 1984, realizing we weren't minding the storehouse of brains.
Very true. Leo is great in Aviator. (True) Acting is being able to become another character by making that character believable to those watching. Although, some actors can't get over their past performances when they are only a one note samba, if you know what I mean. I heard they wouldn't let Shatner near the project. Do you know if this is true?
They aren't even close. 3D Holo G is being experimented upon in many places, so there may be a real breakthrough, perhaps by next year, even. This sounds like they're only seeking investors (like government grants) with such a lame article like this. They take the grants, and pretend to always be on the cusp of great achievement, always close to breakthrough, etc. They end up at the pub, or on a date with an associate(s), spending part of the money, writing it off as research expenses, bragging how important they are because of their 'work' etc. I believe the quote, "It isn't particularly suited for 3 D images..." says it all. What are they making, a flat hologram? We already got it, called, TV. Holo G's await the arrival of very powerful processors.
By the way, I do like your neutron star theory. Who knows what it was? IN our strange universe, it could have been the failure of the CERN seen coming back to us before it happened (this I write more in jest, though).
Perhaps, it could have been the collision of a dark star with a black hole, something quite unusual in terms of happenings in our universe, and especially in observations by us. I didn't read the whole report about what the Hubble saw, but know what ever they saw was not something that has ever been observed before. THe lack of gamma from this collision could be explained by the swallowing of hole, while igniting at the event horizon into a strange mix of particles, some not their own, as the appetite of the hole would bring yet other strangers in.
I could maybe mod you up, or I could just reply, and at least you, as one of the few people who's paying attention, might get something out of it.:)
A few of the people in the authors list of that paper (maybe 4 or 5) are also in another research collaboration that's sort of a spinoff/descendant of the supernova cosmology project. I'm one of their collaborators in that other thing, and I asked one of them about 06F6.
His "best guess" was a neutron star (and your comment here is the only one to mention neutron stars seriously) - possibly formed by a "failed" supernova - which has accreted some material, maybe just gas it was passing through, and flared up/fused that material/blew that material off, or something.
Since SCP (like the collaboration that I'm in) is specifically interested in supernovae, it is likely this thing was found, and they weren't sure whether it might be a supernova, so they took a bunch of data on it, then ultimately decided it wasn't and wrote it up.
Unfortunately, it appears even the collaboration that discovered it aren't sure enough to say what it is, which isn't really surprising; there's a lot of specialization in astronomy and cosmology these days, and even though survey projects give everyone a whole bunch of cool data to analyze, someone who's looking for supernovae wouldn't necessarily also be able to tell you that a set of exposures of a chunk of space also showed an asteroid, a kuiper-belt object, or a whatever-this-is, let alone give you much insight into those other non-supernova objects.
The good news is that as the surveys really ramp up, with things like Pan-STARRS and the LSST coming, there will be a lot more data, and it will take less time to find the second, third, etc. examples of whatever weird new thing gets discovered. For example, the math for relating type Ia supernova (SN Ia) mass to light curve was worked out in 1993, it took ten years after that to find the first super-chandrasekhar-mass SN Ia, three years after that to find the second and one year after that to find the third (which is titled "a second example" because the second one found hadn't been formally written up and announced at the time, I think.:)
So whatever 06F6 is, it's likely we'll be seeing more of them... first of a class, yeah.
A neutron star farting out gas, which caught fire from a tiny spark created by a neighboring EM field, lasting one hundred days?
Perhaps, it is some large black hole that swallowed up something such as a galaxy, which we could not see, because of its small size, or position behind the hole; but once it was swallowed, it became visible as it burned into the event horizon? Perhaps, it was the explosion of a dark star. Perhaps, what we witnessed was time/space/matter in backward sequence, instead of spewing things out, almost everything was inverted? Perhaps, it was an alien civilization communicating with us. One hundred days it came and went, leaving behind a code?
This is in a very unknown area of our universe. When interstellar dust clouds clump together, sometimes they form stars; sometimes they just die out before a star can be formed, due to the lack of certain ingredients, or because not enough matter is available. This one turned out to be an interstellar dust bunny that just hopped away back into a hole, where it died. In other words, it was a still birth at best with an observed partial gestation of 100 days, Earth time. This thing was probably billions of light years away.
They aren't called, Hell-icopters for nothing. Believe me, when time comes for real combat, any real intelligenced enemy can outmaneuver any nuber of these, simply by being smarter. If what they are claiming is completely true, then, essentially, they are saying, they have discovered artificial intelligence, which is not true. What they have discovered is a mimicer that can learn (to mimic) maneuvers through observation. Big hooha!
The 200,000 taps were all conducted with the help of all agencies, such as local police. Some are for the sake of protection in this time of "terrorism", as others are for other reasons, sometimes abused by certain ranking individuals, or groups of governmental teams. Conspiracies aside, based on importance of varying cases, sometimes without warrant, we can be spied on, although laws are, ideally, meant to protect and to serve. Also, ideally, we have the right to know who is spying on US. Problems arise when other governments send in spies to counter-intelligence US, causing deliberate gaps in communications, especially to citizens, who are often deemed, noninclusive because of certain many circumstances. Who knows who is working for whom, in other words, or best not to cause a stir which may compromise intelligence?
What started out as a great idea quickly got stupid, simply because Lucas doesn't have Joseph Campbell (Myth Of A Thousand Faces) is his camp anymore. Joseph is the one who instructed him, like a Jedi Knight on the most important elements in story telling. Most of the original story comes from the Mayan Book called, Popol Vu, which describes the fight between the Dark Lords Of Illusion and the Hero Twins. In one scene there is a fight, where one of the twins gets his right arm cut off. Ben in Mayan means, he who walks in the sky, as in Skywalker. Of course when Joseph gave the interview with Bill Moyers, he mentioned every source of story inspiration, leaving out the Popol Vu. How interesting, that right after that interview back in the eighties, no other Star Wars movie has reached such greatness. It's probably due to selective memory on the part of our genetic memory, which doesn't let this sort of shit fly!
Genetics do indeed play a role, as do epigentics and our environment in our behaviors. What some people are forgetting about is our choices, which at any given time may exceed 'influentially' all genetic and environmental factors. What one chooses even if one has done a behavior several times without the "oops, don't do that again!" gene, may choose not to do so based primarily on societal factors of disapproval, depending on what behavior is performed. If this is repeated with the Pavlovian reward/punishment system, the mechanism of choice can trump any gene anytime! If this is known as environmental, it is because the society has created this form of ultra environment within our physical environment for a reason. These experiments only confirm what was already known, only now things are being confirmed and identified and labeled. Believe me, to choose wisely is always in fashion, whereas we must pick our misbehaviors accordingly.

It's more like the universes butthole, blasting out gas, which caught fire in some electromagplasmic field.

I don't think a stellar merger would disappear, as this did, unless there was a certain annihilation caused by more than a merger, as in a crash.
