Well, there are loads of other forums, and there is no reason to put up with people that wind you up. One reason why i`m not staying here. Good bye!

@Simon Anders Do not feed the troll

"A newly discovered planet seems to have a surprisingly powerful influence on its parent star, forcing the star to rotate at exactly the same rate as the planet orbits. The planet's day is also the same length, so the pair are fixed in a face-to-face whirl. The puzzle is how this planet, called...

Because"it is not moving anywhere near fast enough" it seems unlikely to be a meteor. BTW, meteors are an atmospheric phenomenon and only become meteorites when they reach the ground.

“There are two leading hypotheses or models for the spiral structures of galaxies: * Star formation caused by density waves in the galactic disk of the galaxy. * The SSPSF model - Star formation caused by shock waves in the interstellar medium. These different hypothesis do not have to...

The linear velocity curve is a separate issue and is answered by the presence of Darkmatter, (and it should be mentioned by, a very outside possibility of, MOND theories).

OK, i understand what you are saying. So you`re saying that strings are the fundamental object, and the ends wave about in n dimensions, creating Dn-branes. (where as i assumed the strings themselves were products of branes, with branes manifesting in different dimensions and being the...

Sry, i meant `We know now how galaxies arms are created`. (they are the product of density waves.)

The exhibition “Hong Kong Observatory—Weathering the Storms for 125 Years” to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Hong Kong Observatory was officially launched on 22 July. It will be open to the public in the main lobby of the Hong Kong Museum of History until 22 September. Read more...

The total eclipse begins in Northern Canada's Queen Maud Gulf at 08:04 UT. Greatest eclipse, with totality lasting 2 minutes 27 seconds, will occur near the town of Nadym, (65°38′48″N, 72°16′24″E), in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in Northern Siberia, at 10:21 UT. At 10:44 UT the eclipse track...

IMHO, There is no need for Plasma Cosmology. We know now that galaxies arms are created, and the infall of matter into the central blackhole can produce galactic jets. There is no need to evoke Einstein-Rosen Bridges or white holes.

Sry, for the confusion. The `object` is a brane; strings are not separate entities from branes, they are the same - in this case a 1 dimensional brane. And a two dimensional brane is just a membrane. @AlphaNumeric You agree?

"We traditionally picture the plumes of hot magma that rise through the mantle as mushroom-shaped with a thin stalk feeding a bulbous head, or hotspot, beneath the crust. However, seismic imaging in Iceland reveals a patchy structure without a stalk, leading some researchers to suggest there are...

"A European-led team of astronomers are providing hints that a recent supernova may not be as normal as initially thought. Instead, the star that exploded is now understood to have collapsed into a black hole, producing a weak jet, typical of much more violent events, the so-called gamma-ray...

Yeah the string/1-dimensional brane has to be anchored to a D-brane, or onto itself. (Depending on which theory/version your looking at, i guess)

If the article is correct, it isn't a meteor.

Yeah. A closed string is not anchored to a D-branes and can float about the bulk. However, IMHO, the strings themselves are the ends of branes.

The string could be likened to the edge of a sheet of paper. But all that matters, for your original question, is that empty space and matter are made of the same thing - strings.

"Well inside the Arctic Circle, scientists have found vents of water more than twice as the boiling point rising out of the seafloor. The hydrothermal vents, called black smokers, were discovered farther north than others. One towers four stories high." Read more
