If the universe is expanding, then there might be things that are heading away from us at the speed of light (speed of light = c).
Since they are receding at 100% of c, you'll never see them; their light cannot ever catch up to us: we are (relative to them) moving away from them at the speed of light and since neither can go faster than c, whatever distance separates us can never be crossed, it is infinite: no matter how long you travel at c, you get no closer.
This is the same reason we see galaxies receding from us at nearly c; if they were red-shifted any more (receding at c), they would be outside our light cone and invisible in every sense. They would not exist as far as we are concerned.
If you define a different universe as being physically distinct from ours, then yes; If parts of our universe started out in the same singularity as us but are now outside of our light-cone, then they are in effect physically separate from us, so that places them in a different universe, doesn't it? If they are outside our light-cone, and can no longer affect us, then they are not in our universe anymore but since they still exist, I think you have to consider them as being in a different universe. Of course it means they have to be outside of our entire universe's light-cone...
>>This isn't security through obscurity. Security through obscurity would be saying "I'm safe because I run Windows and it's closed source". This is the claim that uncommon software is more secure because there are less exploits. While untrue mathematically, the reality is that you are still currently less likely to be exploited when running Mac OS X or Linux since script kiddies don't really care about you so much (for the same reason game developers don't, incidentally).
I don't agree: I run Gentoo; since every app I run is compiled from source for the processor architecture I am running, some classes of exploits cannot target me because even if they knew which version of a given app I am running, they can't know precisely the layout of the binary because of the personalized compilation flags I use.
It doesn't rule out exploits, but it does make it a bit harder on them. With Windows, most of the code you have running is the exact same binary for every x86 machine.
I guess that that is a situation where LINUX is making use of "security through obscurity" and Windows is incapable of doing the same.
When I wrote "would the passing of your time be measurably different from ours" I meant for an observer comparing both places. I should have been more precise.
I guess the real answer (which you pointed out) is that you would have to be within the space the star itself used to occupy for relativistic effects to manifest (for an observer, again). And even then, your answer seems to say that at that point, there is no more comparison possible because no information could exit... Cool. Did I get that right?
The article says the black holes are "resting" inside the globular cluster, so that is my question; is/are there possibly (a) solar system(s) near the black hole that are stable?
For that matter, if they are being pulled into the black hole, how long can a solar system keep its planet(s) orbiting in such a situation? How long could life continue in such a place?
I'm not a physicist, but I'm sure time passes relatiely (to us) slower in such a place.
Personally, I prefer Exit Stage Left or even All The World's A Stage. Different Stages just seems like more of Show of Hands... I think the two earlier live albums have more fire even if they aren't as smooth musically as the newer ones.
I believe your story, but in my case (and several people I know), we all tired of his schtick way before he got taken off the air. There's nothing to Howard Stern. He's not interesting enough for me to listen to. YMMV
I can ignore him there too! Seriously, he was broadcasting in Montreal for a while and he couldn't cut it there because no one found him interesting. There are plenty of places where his humour just doesn't cut it and he comes across as rather boring and unimaginative. I imagine alot of people also find him shocking, but I just find him lame.
That is considering the observer's vantage point remains stable until the end of the universe...
I expect that if you were close enough to a black hole to experience time outside going by whizzingly fast WITHOUT you being torn apart by gravitational forces it would indeed be quite a show, but just as likely some other object would whiz right into you billions of years hence and your lookout would end.
the one where kids play virtual-reality games like "rake the leaves" and "mow the lawn" instead of actaully going out in the backyard and doing chores?

And once the pressure builds up enough on those balls, there might be a shower of concrete balls on the surrounding countryside.
Sounds very interesting; can you elaborate a bit?
Where can one obtain this extension?
I tried VideoLan.org but they don't seem to have it.
Whenever I watch a YouTube video, sound and image are not synchronized.
If I run VMWare, boot Windows in it and play the videos inside a browser in Windows, the sound IS synchronized...
I always attributed the problem to the GPL flash player I use.
Can anyone else attest to whether or not this will change things?

Ironic, isn't it?
This is where the animated characters take on faces like donkeys and go "well, DUH!!!!!!!"
On fark, They'd be paging Rick Romero...
Thanks, that's a really clear answer.

If you lived on a planet of the star closest to the black hole, would the passing of your time be measurably different from ours?
You should never program thinking about security issues.
Write the algorithms correctly and there won't BE any buffer-overflows.
What's so hard about this?
Maybe the editors tipped of the site maintainer(s).
Videolan is a university project and I believe they have to pay for their hosting.
That while they attack them there'll be less spam?

weasels?
Time for WiFi to enter the fray, so we can have yet ANOTHER alternative!
Mmmm... Chicken wings...
I agree with you; each place has its rednecks or variant thereof.
It's a sort of local commentary on kitsch or ignorance...

D'oh! I meant 'HASHING'
Dang kybard!
*Yes, that's a Dilbert reference*
No need to keep re-coding hasing lists when you have access to generic algorithms.
Are you trying to code a linked-list, or are you trying to solve a problem?
Sounds like MS trying to pave the way for an
"Linux copies Windows"
"OSS is illegal"
"Linux is illegal"
gambit
Good luck with that, Microsoft, but I still will run Linux regardless
Still, it's funny the people talking to the robot were fooled.
