A little more being mentioned here:

My computer room needs a major cleanup.

I will be back again on thursday.

Stay safe - stay out of crime. That is the general rule of thumb.

If you read Message 1454588 by our moderator Lynn, even the NSA is supposed should abide by the laws as given by the U.S. constitution. The purpose or principle of freedom and civil liberties vs. tyranny and dictatorship is still supposed to be two different ideologies.

The laws of the Constitution are quite special ones. If such a law should need to be changed or possibly amended (which is the usual, not the opposite), it needs a two third majority vote in the U.S. Senate.

And definitely, without me being a United States citizen, such a law needs to already have been passed in the House where apparently the Constitution can not be altered at all.

So, is it possible for the President to veto or reject a Constitutional law passed by the Senate? My guess is that if that ever should happen, he would at least become not popular in the Senate.

And not forgetting the Supreme Court in the same instance or case. It is all supposed to be about politics.

If you happen to read some of the books by Dr. Carl Sagan, like "Cosmos", for example, you will be able to see that he was quite capable of popularizing a subject which not necessarily is that difficult when it comes to mathematics and physics, but may still possibly be a little hard for ordinary people to fully grasp.

I happen to be quite familiar with astronomy myself. Unfortunately I am not that good when it comes to mathematics and physics. Please have a mathematician or physicist come up with a book dealing with these two subjects which makes me able to understand what it is all about.

The same goes with philosophical thinking. There should be no secret that philosophical thoughts which sometimes are coming out of one's mind do not always reflect correctly when it comes to the way the usual or standard subject fields of science are supposed to be working out. In many cases there will appear to be differences around both when it comes to thinking itself as well as current knowledge.

Wars are always supposed to be "dirty" business.

Even with the experience of the Vietnam war, it should not be forgotten that there were a couple of people who came home as invalids.

Supposedly the price that had to be paid in order for freedom to prevail.

The one thing I don't understand is that Seti@home apparently does not care or take the time to believe in us oldtimers at all.

Earlier today I happened to struggle with a couple of CUDA tasks which apparently did not want to finish up.

Indeed, it definitely does not show up in my total credits, but hopefully it provides the project with some of the data that is needed for the research that is currently being carried out.

Oh, he is taking the time quoting an idiot.

Happy birthday, Mark!

By the way, women vs. happiness.

Always the same story.

Who is to blame?

Try listening to Enya for your birthday, Mark.

Anyway, watching becomes a little harder.

I attached a mouse to my computer (PC).

Definitely one of the better three I have tried (a wired one).

But, is has had a side button (or two/three).

I happen to push it at times which makes me lose contents when posting.

Grrrr!

Anyway, flowers is supposed to hide or "disguise" a amile (I think).

Sail away... (Enya)

Except the 5.58 spike score.

A globe?

Why not a cube instead?

Think of the Universe as being a "hyperspace" (at least four-dimensional, including time).

The three known physical dimensions could be represented as X, Y, Z coordinates in space where each point or singularity across each of the three axis (plural) of the coordinates is similar in size or extent to the Planck constant.

So when you start adding String Theory and/or Quantum Theory and try to combine these two elements with what you already have (Einstein's Special and General Law of Theory), as well as the notion of time, you could well be in for finding something interesting.

The only thing missing now is leaving the subject for a mathematician or physicist to explain all of this.

So where is Stephen Hawking right now?

Once again it is up to you to give me a better answer to these questions.

So right now I am wondering a little about what is going on inside a black hole.

In order to be able to visit a black hole, you first need to go there and enter or bypass the event horizon which surrounds the black hole itself.

A black hole is a monster when it comes to gravity. Gravity is a force which apparently still has to be fully explained or expressed by means of mathematical expressions or equations.

It is a general assumption that atoms are consisting of protons, neutrons and electrons. Inside a black hole these particles have been smashed into oblivion and not being there anymore. It is therefore possible to assume that such a black hole is only an energy field despite its enormous mass and that the gravity which may be associated with such an object is directly related to this energy field.

But if a black hole is supposed to be only mass, how is it possible that energy may be present at all inside such an object?

Again, gravity and mass are synonymous with each other. We are possibly not able to explain how much energy is present inside a black hole.

Please give me your response to these thoughts and provide some further suggestions and clarifications.

I have a hard enough time just thinking of a singularity, Let alone trying to define one.

How can a singularity gain mass? Or get bigger? If its gravity is so great why cant it collaspe on its self?

According to general relativity, the matter in a black hole is already collapsed down to a volume of exactly zero. It is not meaningful to talk about further collapse.

Yes but they say black wholes are measured in solar masses. So how can a collasped star that forms a black hole get to be 100 solar masses or in the case of black holes in the center of galaxys having masses of millions of solar masses.

Balck holes are singularities. They are very dense and will not allow anything to esape them as their gravity it so large. I was under the impression that it was simply like a hole in space-time or a continous curving of it.

About the mass though I am not sure if it actually has any or not. I believe it must do but if it did then it would get bigger and the universe would be getting emptier and emptier. I don't know...

They can tell the mass by how much the gravity affects the surrounding stars.

I once read the gravitational field of a black hole is a 'fossil field'. Kinda like a 'frozen star'. The same is true of the electromagnetic field that a black hole may possess.

They still contain energy. What happens when two rotating black holes merge? It aint fossilized when that energy is released.

And with that this old fossil is going to bed.
