Re: The Last Word I'd tell but then Cancer would want to know my secret, and then teach it to the class. Thanks. Leave tonight, well tomorrow 00:40. You know what I mean (if you can read 24-hour time )

Re: The Last Word And tomorrow I'll be away from the NGD for 4 days. I'm going to a wedding in Sydney (4 hour plane flight). The wedding is my (ex-)GM so I'm looking forward to it. Also I plan to do shopping while I'm there. Miss you.

Re: The Last Word Still is the same for me.

Re: The Last Word While looking at it initially (honestly! although I didn't post it), I recalled that the Doppler effect was used by an American astronomer (c 1929) in concluding that the universe was expanding. Let me start again. Hubble saw that astronomical objects were moving away from Earth due to their redshifts (shifiting of light towards the red part of the spectrum in electromagnetic radiation, interpreted as a 'Doppler effect in space'). This enabled Hubble to conclude that the universe was expanding as the objects were accelerating away from Earth like a car going past a pedestrian on a freeway. As we can calculate the rate in which the universe is expanding, we can deduct this constant from the distance from one object to another to arrive at the correct distance Object A is from Object B. If we didn't take into consideration the constant rate of universal expansion the distance we calculated would be incorrect. Knowing the rate of universal expansion and the nature of redshifts allows us to create arbitrary points of observation within the universe, which as stated above allows us to calculate the distance of Object A to Object B eg the point of observation of Object A may be the sun Sirius.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Paraphrasing Old Man: Alice, listen! And understand! That wolf spider is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are consumed by fear.
