Welcome to the forums! Narf should be along shortly to offer you some cheese.

The earth isn't flat!?!

As for fox news and bias.. Here we go with pictures of insanity.

The last one is the best.

the great thing about the universe is that there is so much of it. As a result, nearly anything is possible and I have to agree with atrocities because any definitive conclusion will be a huge blunder. We may observer a 1000 black holes operating in one manner, then find ten thousand doing something totally different and finally one more that defies the first two. There is no such thing as a clear-cut answer on black holes.

There\'s no such thing as a \"Black Hole\"
 

I believe in mermaids.
I've seen lots of "Artist's Conceptions", and some of 'em are hot.
Just because I haven't got a photo doesn't mean they don't exist.
I'm gonna make a research grant proposal for a yacht, to sail the Carribean in search of the elusive mermaid.

Gravity is the weakest force.

Re: There\'s no such thing as a \"Black Hole\"
 

It may be weak, but it is the only long range force that dosen't tend to cancel itself out.

That was the underlying inspiration for much of H.P. Lovecraft's work. And according to this article, the majority of published scientific studies are wrong.

Well that's a rather defeatist attitude. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: OT: Study Reveals Flaw in Black-Hole Theory
 

Gravity is very weak. I mean think about it- EVERY object has a gravitational field, but the only one you notice day-to-day is the Earth's. A space shuttle with chemical rockets can produce three to four times as much force with those as the entire mass of the earth can produce in gravity!

Black holes are an exception because they have such a ridiculous amount of mass in a tiny space.

I am a bad luck gravity well then. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

You mean you don't notice the fact that the sun is still nearby? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Re: OT: Study Reveals Flaw in Black-Hole Theory
 

When it comes to bad luck my friend, I can out pull even the sun.

Well, if not for you, it would probably have gone nova, eh?

Sorry to go off topic, but...

...damn Fyron, you're gonna hit 20,000 posts soon! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

Next year maybe. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You cannot say if gravity is "weak" or "not weak" unless you compare it to the other 3 forces (or interactions, which is the better word) that we know of: electromagnetism, weak and strong.
Compared to those the gravity is really really really weak: Let the gravity have the strength of 1 then the next stronger interaction (the weak one) has a strength of 1*10^25.
But since gravity is only additive and has an unlimited range (the others are either very short or can cancel each other out) it is the dominating interaction on the large scale. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: OT: Study Reveals Flaw in Black-Hole Theory
 

Well, in Lovecraft's cosmos, part of that "placid island of ignorance" was humanity's quaint notion that scientific "law" as we understood it was universally applicable, when "in reality" human knowledge was quite narrow and localized. The further you went from Earth, the more things you encountered that shouldn't exist, according to our concepts.

Sorry, I havn't been greeting newbies. There was this whole space where I didn't even visit because I wasn't playing SEV and even now I'm not playing much, so I'm not posting much.

But, anyone who wants cheese can ask for some. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
