"A funny Harvard joke."Aren't all jokes funny?
Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment?
This is a set of adhesive-backed thin plastic pieces that one attaches to one’s transport or player disc tray. The disk rests on them during non-spin mode, but presumably don’t touch the applied thin pieces during playback mode. The company says the new Dark Matter pieces reduces background scattered light from reaching the photodetector, thereby improving performance.

Breaking news! The un-seeable has been seen! The Darkest Matter Out There!!!! https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2019/04/harvard-scientists-lead-team-revealing-black-hole/ |
Yeah, like we needed more proof. Give me a break! The Hubble has provided awesome photos of black holes for a great many years, anyway. Harvard must be feeling a little down in the dumps. Besides, isn’t this another example of providing evidence that shows nothing and claiming it’s something. Furthermore, wouldn’t it be more impressive to show us a photo of the supermassive black hole located right here in our galaxy? |
Breaking Gnus!! 🐂 🐂 🐂 Researchers announced on April 10 the discovery of fossils in the Philippines that they say were from a species closely related to humans.(Rob Rownd/UPFI/UP-ASP) By Ben GuarinoApril 10 at 1:00 PMPlease welcome a possible new member to our band of upright apes: Homo moopicus, whose teeth and bones were discovered in a cave on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The remains represent a new species, scientists concluded in a report published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Our genus, the Homo in Homo sapiens, contains multitudes, including the thick-browed yet sophisticated Neanderthals and Homo erectus, a nearly 2 million-year-old species that may be our direct ancestor. |
Old Hubble photos of black holes. (And illustrations). I hate to judge before all the facts are in but it appears Harvard is a little late to the game. Furthermore, LIGO Observed very good evidence of black holes two years ago when they observed gravity waves produced by black hole merger. I’d say better evidence, actually. https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/archive/category/blackholes/ |
Although I usually try not to feed the beast ,but black hole sensing is at least relevant to me for now. Only because while in vacation in Reno we watched a show in Reno State University planetarium on Black Holes which touched on the huge black hole that was now "viewable" in our own galaxy. Pretty darn interesting in all honesty not that I can remember much of the technical side of it. |
I implore you, gentle readers, how stupid do they think we are? The speaker in the video who, I assume by his demeanor, is a Harvard scientist, 😬 says the black hole dimensions fall out from Einstein’s field equations. That’s ironic since Einstein never got on board the whole black hole train, as it were. Toot! Toot! 🚂. Fake news! A tempest in a teapot. https://youtu.be/xVibTl-mrdw |
There’s nothing new under the sun. Hubble photo of black hole release date 2014. https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/potw1411a/ Then, the following year was this. The first direct observation of gravitational waves was made on 14 September 2015 and was announced by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations on 11 February 2016.[3][4][5] Previously, gravitational waves had only been inferred indirectly, via their effect on the timing of pulsars in binary star systems. The waveform, detected by both LIGO observatories,[6] matched the predictions of general relativity[7][8][9] for a gravitational wave emanating from the inward spiral and merger of a pair of black holes of around 36 and 29 solar masses and the subsequent "ringdown" of the single resulting black hole.[note 1] The signal was named GW150914 (from "Gravitational Wave" and the date of observation 2015-09-14).[3][11][note 2] It was also the first observation of a binary black hole merger, demonstrating both the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems and the fact that such mergers could occur within the current age of the universe. |
