vik_thorI'm feeling a bit culinarily creative tonight.. Went to Albertsons and picked up some stuff.
Tonight, I'm gonna do Sauerkraut & Polska Kielbasa. (hope to have it done when Jos get's home.) (edited b4 posting. I don't think it's going to be quite done...)
tomorrow, thinking about doing 15 bean soup, with ham hock. (Ham hock was in freezer. It's now defrosting in fridge.)
OK, so it's not really creative, but them I'm not really much of a cook.
I'm currently reading The Big Bang Never Happened: A Startling Refutaion of the Dominant Theory of the Origin of the Universe by Eric Lerner. An interesting book. He talks about various things, including some stuff about how cosmologists are starting from the Big Bang (First Cause) and making theories from that, and ignoring any real world observations that contradict or don't support the theories, instead of taking the universe as it is, and working back from that.
They also deny that the electromagnetic force can have any overall effect on the universe, insisting that the only thing that can have huge effects is gravity, since there is no 'negative gravity' like there is e-m.
One of the websites a came across while exploring this idea on the web is The Electric Cosmos. (I had had another one in my favorites for I don't know how long, and I don't know where I first came across it. The Electric Universe seems to be more, I don't know... semiscience...)
As a whole, I think it is an idea worth thinking about. It seems to explain quite a bit without resorting to Dark Matter, Super Strings and other theoretical items that haven't been observed.
To my unspecialized knowledge, it seems to give at least possibilities of how to explain quasars and where the 'missing mass' of the universe is.

a series of pictures taken watched an invisible, perfectly straight (relative to the curvature of the universe) line something blast through (I think it was a star?) and draw it out across a fairly large distance...

Date: 2003-11-18 04:53 pm (UTC)From what he's saying, that type of jet can be explained by plasma physics, by viewing galaxies as a type of electric motor. The magnetic fields moving through charged particles (interstellar plasma) creates current flow towrds the center of the galaxy, which can sometimes escape as the jets...
Haven't read about anything tearing a star apart like that... any type of reference? I would love to see the pics!
(And I won't mention the Vulpinians, if you don't. ;)
