  1. Re:The Rubber sheet analogy is WRONG!!! on Giant Sheets Of Dark Matter Detected · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Oh almost forgot the water pressing back upwards is like the way space time relieves the stress of having massive objects concentrated in one area. You press down on one area of space time and space time bulges out in another more distant area. It is like the packing dilema try putting 1000 ping pong balls in a box that can only hold 999, when you put int he last one and force it in, it will push another one out.

    If you took all the matter in the universe and spread it out evenly, it would put the same "pressure" against space time, like a uniform sheet or membrane, make a large enough disturbance and all that matter will start flowing to one area and the sheet will stretch till it hit the bottom of the pool and rebounds, hence the Big Bang.

  2. The Rubber sheet analogy is WRONG!!! on Giant Sheets Of Dark Matter Detected · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The whole rubber sheet of space time analogy is wrong, it is missing something.

    Current analogy of space time:

    Take a rubber sheet and stretch it out over a frame and drop a bowling ball and marble and drop them on it, they push down and those dents are gravitation fields in space-time.

    New more correct analogy:

    Take a swimming pool and fill it all the way to the top with water. THEN, stretch a rubber sheet over it and seal it so that no water leaks out. Then put your bolwing ball and marble on it. Draw a line running between the bowling ball and marble, and take that cross section, note that the bowling ball and marble behave the same way at close distance like they do above, but when they are a opposite sides of the pool there is a slight "repulsive" effect. We call that Dark Energy! This repulsive effect also can help stick objects together applying a "pressure" against all the other objects, hence "Dark Matter". This effect will also affect light waves moving past it, hence gravitational lensing.

    I'll take my Nobel prize now!

  16. Xenu is a good guy, and he loves you! on Scientology Given Direct Access To eBay Database · · Score: 2, Funny

    The CoS is a nothing more than a disinformation campaign by people opposed to the Galactic rule of Xenu.

    They use blatant lies about Xenu to build thier base up.

    The aliens Xenu sent to their firey doom weren't just ordinary citizens, they were Galactic Welfare recipients and they were a complete and total drain on the Galactic Tax system. These Aliens were given several chances to get off the welfare system and were all able to work. Xenu had them gathered up and sent to processing, they downloaded their minds into a giant computer where they could spend their eternity living off free Galactic government cheese. But what to do with their bodies? Well Xenu checked and some life bearing planets were facing peril in that they were losing carbon in their biospheres, one such planet Earth needed extra carbon, so they dropped off the brain dead bodies in volcaoes so that any any alien microbes would be sterilized and the carbon would enter the air and thus the carbon cycle. Xenu is so kind to think of us!

    The Galactic Communist party was pissed off because their lost a great deal of their voting base (the welfare recipients). Since citizens who have been virtialized only have 1/4 of a vote. So they have agents spreading lies so when Earth joins the Galactic government there are seeds of mistrust against the duly elected Galactic President Xenu who has won in landslide victory after landslide victory and is now in his 1,345,236th term in office. LRH was a recruited by an agent to spread mistrust of Xenu.
