i found a mistake on page 2 of thier alian manual where they said 0/1=1. i e-mailed them and told them they should change it because it could mess up the aliens...if they exist. maybe they should put me in charge of their shit because i would fire the shit out of whoever made that mistake.
wait. science is not anti-God. one cannot say that something always existed because it had to be created sometime. Of course, this is based on a human concept of Time, which may not be how the universe works. interesting idea, huh?
i don't know if i believe in God, but I suppose that as far as i can comprehend, all the matter in the universe had to originate from somewhere, and God is a good answer for that. but where did God come from? is God a being made of matter or is he pure energy? or is he a spirit? i have no clue.
what i do know is that black holes are interesting and can be helpful in charting the history of the universe and in revealing the secrets therein.
Religion is overrated. It is all blind faith and stuff. Look at the facts! Science is based on the facts and the truth. Religion is like peoples big conspiracy theory about the universe.
There is this huge unknown force that guides all of our lives, but never shows its face? Maybe God (if he exists) did make all of this and then sat back in his hammock with a beer and just watched us fuck around.
Another thing...how can you be so ignorant as to think that we are the only planet in the UNIVERSE to host intelligent life?? Do you KNOW how many planets there are out there? So what are the odds that a planet in the universe will host life? One in a hundred billion? Make a random number generator that takes a number out of a hundred billion and see how often the number 1 comes up. Eventually there have to be more planets than Earth that host life.
NASA is not"state sponsored aetheism" aimed at destabilizing religion. They don't care about all the religious people running around with their thumbs up their butts complaining about the separation between church and state. They want to keep the russians and japanese down with technology so that the US will always be the police of the world. If you have read this whole thing, I am impressed.:)
Why don't you design your own personal Hubble telescope and launch it from your roof? That will show those damn geeky rocket scientists and genius physicists who attended MIT and such. Then send your HIGH RES photos to NASA anonymously with a link to Slashdot.They're doing their best, in 20 years we will have much better stuff. Hell, we will probably be living on Mars by then.
Most of you are only thinking of all the movies and TV shows you have seen about black holes and such. Sphere, Star Trek, Wing Commander, Stargate, etc. They're all fantasy. The fact is that black holes CRUSH whatever enters them by exerting the force of the gravity well of a deceased planet on it. A direct quote from the article itself: "ASTRONOMERS BELIEVE that black holes are created when a massive star reaches the end of its life and collapses under its own weight into something so dense that not even light can escape its gravitational pull." These things have the power to bend LIGHT, which is just packets of energy that have very little matter weight. Black holes are like the buttholes of the universe, digesting all this food and spitting it out the other side (probably) in highly condensed form. What I wonder is if a black hole can die out. Earth is still alive because it has the energy inside it to survive etc. Once it exhausts its life energy it will collapse into a star and everntually (and I mean after billions of years) turn into a black hole.) So will everything in the universe eventually turn into black holes? Maybe thats like the end of the cycle of the universe and when the black holes suck themselves together and make one HUGE black hole, there is a shitstorm of an explosion (re: the Big Bang) and everything is scattered throughout the universe again. I'm not a scientist, just some 17 y.o. kid bored on a Saturday afternoon reading Slashdot articles. Kind of puts everything in perspective, eh?:)
