Your star gets eaten by a black hole ...

Quote:

It began like a routine measurement on a quasar, a somewhat boring look at the emissions from a distant, early galaxy -- but it turned out that the graduate student was actually watching a black hole swallow part of a star.

Your Galaxy gets eaten by another Galaxy! ...

Quote:

When the galaxy Centaurus A tore apart and ate its diminutive neighbor, it sparked the formation of thick bands of young blue stars, which account for the strange cosmic feature.

or you might be having a bad day if the toilet wouldnt flush after you huspand got done in the bathroom first thing in the morning.LOL:D

**Doonz** · 10-28-2002, 10:03 AM

...although some stars getting eaten wouldnt be a bad thing...woddy allen ect...

...and shanna what did you cook last night

**Tweetybird** · 10-28-2002, 10:08 AM

Brisket, deer suasage , baked beans , and potato salad.

And it was good too.:D

**Pseudocyber** · 10-28-2002, 10:13 AM

I would think it would be more of a damper on the day if our Sun got eaten - than a toilet overflowing.

Just me.

;)

**Tweetybird** · 10-28-2002, 10:15 AM

LMAO:D

**Doonz** · 10-28-2002, 10:16 AM

Sun being eaten ...ALWAYS BAD ...burrrr

**Pseudocyber** · 10-28-2002, 10:20 AM

A little OT ... but that doesn't seem to be a problem around here ... ;) :D

What if the Sun suddenly was gone .... instantly. Which would happen first:

A.) It would get dark.
B.) The Earth, no longer kept in orbit by the Sun's gravity, would veer out of the Solar System on a tangent to the Sun at the time of it's vanishing.

Gets to the question of which is faster: light or gravity?

**Doonz** · 10-28-2002, 12:36 PM

it would get colder than a witches t*t

DaTruMasta · 10-28-2002, 02:09 PM

All of the above :D
Technically both would happen at the same time!
Its just that b) would take time, and wouldn't be noticable right away! Yet again, if yo think about it, I think there are still "unknown" forces keeping the earth in orbit, and not just the sun!

**Pseudocyber** · 10-28-2002, 02:20 PM

Well, the unknown is given a name - gravity. We don't really understand gravity except that the more mass something has, the more gravity it has. However, gravity could theoretically travel faster than light - or perhaps it doesn't really "travel" at all.

**Tweetybird** · 10-29-2002, 07:30 AM

I must be in the wrong thread , is this AStrology 101.LOL:D

**Pseudocyber** · 10-29-2002, 10:06 AM

Well, you're doubly confused! ;) Astrology is about "reading" the star formations and planets to find out whether to go outside today ...

Astronomy is about studying stars and space for scientifc interests ...

**Lectraplayer** · 10-29-2002, 04:49 PM

I always thought that astrology was supposed to tell you how to get home without getting sea sick.:sick2: Hope you don't mind me making an occasional mess.:laugh1:

Tru, But gravity is a constant, and never changes, however, the Force of gravity changes, as it can be affected by the mass of the objebt.

BTW, Its strange when you think about it, there could always be another "unknown" force acting on the planets on the universe!

Think Black Holes..........Its something that until now scientists are searching for clues on..........

What forces, and what happens that makes all objects that run into black holes just ............."disapear"!!!!!!!!!?

Another thing, We know that the force of gravity exerted by the sun is whats holding all the planets, in their orbits, but whats causing the Universe to hold shape together?

Strange Questions!........But they're in a way not answered yet!

There are just some things that humans will never be able to find out, and thats something we have to face.

After all, there is always a limit to our minds!

**Tweetybird** · 10-31-2002, 07:14 AM

I have been humbly told off, I think .LOL Forgive me on great science dude.LOL

What shape is it that the universe has? I've been reading a bit about it lately and there are three theories - the universe is expanding and accelerating, the universe is expanding at a constant rate, and the universe is expanding but will contract again one day. The shapes are represented as a plane - one is the accellerating is shaped like a saddle. The constant is a flat plane, and the slowing down, is a sphere.

Another interesting thing to read up on is dark matter. And there's also dark energy. That stuff gets to be over my head.

**Tweetybird** · 10-31-2002, 08:14 AM

Well it stands to reason that the earth has been here for millions and millions of years, so I would have to go with the 3rd theory, because we already have a pretty good idea that the earth will eventually get poed and kick us to kingdom come anyway.
