Because of the Great Attractor, our galaxy and canis majoris are subject to a peculiar form of gravitational lensing, called Ames room lensing.

Not only do we not believe that, we actually talked about why we don't believe that, about a couple of years ago, as part of the standard Sunday School Curriculum.


However, I love these types of ideas as they make me laugh. The funniest one is the blood sacrifices we supposedly do in our temples. People have run out of things to make up about us, so they are reduced to making fanciful things up now.

That's not how I picture it. I think what happened was that he got attacked by an angry mob of about 30 000 people with machine guns, when they started fire he immediately grabbed his brother and used him as a human shield, then he pulled a gun he had smuggled into prison IN HIS ASS, and shot about 500 of the attackers, with each bullet killing at least 2 of the mob and constantly yelling out how he ****ed every single of their mothers, sisters and daughters and a few hot, effeminate sons. After about two hours of that and having taking about 300 exploding bullets to his face and chest, brushing them off like it was nothing, he tossed his brother's lifeless body at the mob killing about 10 more from the impact, then ran to the window screaming "**** YOU MOTHER****ERS, I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL" he jumped out of the window, dropping fifty stories never stopping shooting at anyone that dared showing their face at the window and on impact it flattened at least five surrounding blocks . There were some accounts that he survived the fall, but decided "**** it, I decide when I die" and then broke his own neck DKR style.

Dude had balls, all I'm sayin'

Gravity. If you have enough mass in making a star, you make a black hole instead. We don't know if there is a limit to the size of a black hole.

Originally posted by Mindset

It might be impossible, if you count black holes as dark stars. As a black hole grows in size, the distance between the singularity and the event horizon grows. As this distance grows, the effect of gravity at the event horizon diminishes. Theoretically you could have a black hole that is so big that matter may not be pulled into it, because the gravity at the event horizon is so low. But this is pure speculation on my part.

I read this article about stars colliding and momentarily combining.

Originally posted by Mindset

No, impossible.

Consider:
The Schwarzchild radius for the Milky Way is about 10^12 kilometers.
If you took all the mass in the Milky Way, turned it into pure hydrogen and packed it into a ball it would have a radius of just 10^11 kilometers.

Since actual stars are much denser than hydrogen we can conclude that a star with the mass of a galaxy will inevitably collapse into a black hole.

That's such a load of BS. If someone's life couldn't get them in heaven, why would God care what others who don't stand for them did posthumously? It says nothing about the person.

Originally posted by King Kandy

That's because you are not aware that there is an existance after this life, but before judgement day, where the person can chose to accept or deny the ordinances done on their behalf.




Why would a person chose to deny the ordinances done on their behalf? It is much harder to accept the plan of salvation as a spirit that willingly did evil, knowing it was wrong.

a star can be thought of as a huge furnace pouring out just enough energy so that gravity doesn't pull it together. Too much energy, and all of the atoms would just spew out in all directions, too little, and it collapes.

So, the energy at the core of a star comes from fusion. We tend to talk about Hydorgen (1+ 1n particles in the atomic nucleus), but bigger and hotter stars can actually fuse more complex substances. What happens are then layers of fusion, Hydrogen at the outer, then oxygen, etc.

The biggest and hottest stars in the universe are thought to only comprise of 4 or 5 such layers (I only took first year astronomy, 5 years ago, so this is not the word of god), however, there is a theoretical limit. This is because, to move up to fusing higher order elements in their core, stars would require exponential increases in power produced. To move above the current theoretical limit of 4/5 layers would, iirc, require more energy than exists in the universe.

How much energy exists in the universe?

Approximation, of course.

no clue whatsoever...

oh, actually:

http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2006/KristineMcPherson.shtml

or: "The calculated mass of the universe ranges anywhere from 10^53 kg to 10^60 kg"

because mass can be considered equivalent to energy, apparently...

I'm not a physcist by any stretch of the imagination

Originally posted by Mindset

5 ziblits.







A ziblit is defined as 1/5th of the energy in the universe, I think hmm

Is a ziblit the same as a yorbrat?

Originally posted by Mindset

The conservative guess would be (10^53)*c^2 which is about 9*10^69 Joules. But this leaves out all the energy that exists in the form of massless particles like light.

Hard to say, given 75% of it is a complete mystery. Approximation is still possible considering you can calculate Mass/Energy with spatial curvature caused by the force of Gravity.

This is the reason why we know that visible matter makes up only 5% of the observable universe and darkmater makes out about 23% and the 72% is darkenergy.

So we can calculate the mass of visible energy/mass and invisible matter and energy.

If another star was in orbit around the exploding star, then it could be caused to explode, but there is a lot of examples of binary star systems where one star is a nova remnant, and the partner is fine. There are also examples of stars that have gone nova within closed clusters, and the neighboring stars are just fine.
