  1. Re:f space on Evidence Of Water On Mars · · Score: 1

    Not that i'm in any position to criticize you, but i personally prefer "f"ing things with a little more substance than space

  2. perhaps you should remember your jokes? on Evidence Of Water On Mars · · Score: 1

    newton vs. pound, no meters involved...unless you want to be really anal and point out that a N = kg * m / s^2, but that's beside my point, you're still a moron.

    And why am i having a hard time believing you've even had sex??? Or am i just associating you with the typical /. reader??? :)

  5. Re:motion of stars on How Neutron Stars Get Their Kicks · · Score: 1

    Theoretically, assuming a central point from which all stars originated, all stars should be moving. However, theory does not a fact make. It is quite possible that some stars are perfectly stationary, and yet we perceive htme as moving based on our own positioning in the universe

    Unfortunately, this logic seems flawed. The rotation of the solar systems, galaxies, clusters, etc, proves that motion does in fact take place. If an object within a galaxy was in fact stationary, it would have to rotate at the exact path necessary to remain stationary as the rest of the galaxy circled it local group, which is impossible. Whether or not the entire universe is itself moving is, at this point in time, irrelevant.

    I propose that we use our own sun to measure the motion of everything else.

    The problem with the proposal that our sun is stationary causes problems as well. If our sun is stationary, the universe is destined for substantial problems, for it is not massive enough to support the unbalanced rotation (centripetal and centifugal and all those other nice forces that stem from torques and fundamental mechanics), causing a universe that would spiral off, thereby creating a paradox: if it spirals away due to the unbalanced rotation, it is no longer stationary, therefore it can not by the stationary center of the universe, can it?

    But hey, I didn't do too well in physics last semester, I could be really wrong :)

  6. Re:First Ontopic posting.. on Cooling With Lasers · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who looked at the dates??? Its possible that I misread every web page I read, but all of the dates that I noticed were circa 5/1999. If this is the first the public is hearing of this topic on a wide level, what has caused the delay? Obviously it's incredibly expensive, but is it so expensive that it's not even worth mentioning to the rest of the "civilized" world?
