Another view of the early supernova burst; this time how fast is that photon moving?
section5:
What a photon it was: a 31GeV gamma ray picked up by the orbiting Fermi Telescope. Because of the timing of its arrival, an entire class of quantum gravity models suddenly seems unlikely. More data of this sort may be coming soon, as scientists have now...

So it was 13.1 Billion years ago, in a supernova far far away…, but now where is the black hole thing? Does the blast accelerate it, and if so in what direction?

Dedicated to my dad, Pete Wagner, Dr. Robert Correll, Dr. Peterson and always Uncle Harry.
Dad taught me that what we today called ‘Pasteurization’, is not at all what Dr. Pasteur had in mind. He took raw milk, heated it to 140 degrees, let it cool …. and repeated that another 2 times. Today we just keep it cheap; heat it to 160 degrees for about...

Pumping SO2 into the upper stratosphere may cool the earth a few degrees, just like Pinatubo did. But you can’t do that; your name isn’t Pinatubo, is it?

Fortunately, Obama can’t silence the BBC (yet), but someone is keeping the name hidden. Where would this be if this were against a Republican or any Conservative for that matter. He would be heralded, and every nuance of his crimes (and implying that everything wrong was because of some Richie’s greed.)
I wonder how long Johnny Carson will keep...

‘What goes up must come down, spinning wheels must go round’ (Chicago) or so the song goes. Many are overbuilt, poorly built, poorly remodeled for too much money or locked up in ‘contracts’ within banks, waiting for the prices to inch up, i.e. demand for housing to increase.

One has to argue the facts, the technology and the uniqueness of the patents. Certainly it will be, but not well publicized. Qualcomm seems to be greatly diminished. What are the facts would be interesting to find out.
