Why does it need to be discreet? The only person who will question the guy doing the towing is the owner. How often have you asked a tow truck operator if their business is legitimate? What's so unusual about an SUV getting towed?
In a classical sense, energy = 1/2 mv^2. So orbital velocity and energy are equivalent. I think the point you're trying to make is that you don't have to do work to remain in orbit.
The thing is determining the radius at which a given mass has an escape velocity equal to the speed of light is classical method to estimate the radius of the event horizon. But the does not actually define the event horizon, which is a decidedly non-classical phenomena.
The event horizon is the radius from the singularity of the black hole where all future times lead to the sigularity. Light originating just inside the event horizon, no matter how it is directed, can not cross the event horizon. In fact, it can't even get closer to the event horizon. It can only fall to the singularity.
There is no classical analogy to this behavior. That is why the escape velocity equals the speed of light is so misleading.
I have to agree that heat is a complicated subject and talking about a "heat particle" is a little silly but the phonon is a bad counter example. A phonon is "a quantized mode of vibration occurring in a rigid crystal lattice" - not a fundamental particle. The lattice itself is governed by electromagnetic interactions. The force carrier for electromagnetic interactions is the photon.
I am not debating that the sightings were anomalous. That experts were unable to identify them as an ordinary objects does not support the conjecture that they were vehicles or crafts of some kind. The fact that they could not identify them only defines what the objects aren't (e.g. commercial aircraft) but says nothing about what they are.
BTW, I promise to read your response but after that maybe we should just agree to disagree.:)
Your tendency to refer to these unidentified sightings as "anomalous vehicles" and to mention the "anomalous nature of these craft" is presupposing that a vehicle or craft was observed. That is your unsupported conjecture.
I would still tend to say "an anomalous object has been tracked on radar" and "pilot's description of the craft is that of some type of object with a metallic appearance".
In general, the fact that observers "can not come up with any explanation" is not evidence for an otherwise unsupported conjecture.
You complain about the media covering an actress over an astronaut yet you link to the Internet Movie Database. Why would you expect a movie site to honor astronauts over actresses?
I have seduced computer users of both sexes.
I have been to the porn sites.
I deliberately contracted the Sasser worm in order to spread the worm to my wive and other computer users.
Together with other agents I have counterfeited web certificates, hacked commercial websites, added copyrighted code to the linux kernal, and coordinated denial of service attacks against SCO by means of PGP encrypted emails.
I stand here a victim of the influence of Linus Torvalds, guilty on all counts.
I'm glad I was caught.
I was mentally deranged.
Now I am cured.
I ask only for you to accept my love of Darl McBride.
I ask only to be shot while my computer is still clean of copyright infringed software.
Black holes are generally detected by the X-rays emitted by the matter falling into the black hole not by Hawking radiation. I think Hawking radiation would be at a much lower intensity.
Actually, has anyone every detected a black hole that wasn't gobbling up matter from a nearby source (e.g. a star). A lone black hole travelling in the void. Has anyone found such a beast?
I am a broken record that repeats the words ProCD Inc. v. Zeidenberg whenever someone claims that EULA's are unenforcable. The unfortunate truth is that they have indeed been upheld in the past.
Broken indeed. According to your link:
In Wisconsin, as elsewhere, a contract includes only the terms on which the parties have agreed. One cannot agree to hidden terms, the judge concluded.
And later:
ProCD's soft- ware and data are "fixed in a tangible medium of expres- sion", and the district judge held that they are "within the subject matter of copyright". The latter conclusion is plainly right for the copyrighted application program, and the judge thought that the data likewise are "within the subject matter of copyright" even if, after Feist, they are not sufficiently original to be copyrighted.
So, the EULA was not upheld. The judge ruled on a matter of copyright. Perhaps this is why people have not been listening to you?
Visit the Einstein Memorial in Washington, DC at the National Academy of Sciences. Not real easy to see from the road. Most people don't know it's there.

Not a Cobalt Cube replacement but Firstlight Networks is lining up their Argon as a Cobalt Raq replacement.

But there is a "heat particle". It's called a photon.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say anomalous events have been observed. Or are you claiming a craft was recovered but not a pilot?

I would like the option of upgrading the monitor without throwing away the machine behind it.
I keep monitors much longer than computers. The problem is not being able to upgrade the computer without tossing the monitor.
I accuse myself of the following crimes:
I have seduced computer users of both sexes.
I have been to the porn sites.
I deliberately contracted the Sasser worm in order to spread the worm to my wive and other computer users.

Of course 'effect' can also be a verb and 'affect' can be a noun. But I won't risk screwing up the definitions.
Just take a look here.
