Cool. Thanks for posting the article.

So, what is the orbital period of the two black holes, and when is coalescence expected to occur? Gravity wave astronomers would like to know.

"When" is a concept of time. You know what happens to time at an event horizon.

This is the collision of TWO event horizons, with each other.

Under such conditions, the use of the term "when" approaches spiritual philosophy dimensions.

Oops, I should never have invoked "dimensions"... now my head hurts...

El Rushbo made a statement today that I thought would cause the Mainslimes to have a fecal hemmorage, but it must have gone over their heads. In discussing the scheduling of the Bluffer-in-Chief’s Jobs Speech to a Joint Congress, Rush stated that Boehner should “put Obama in his PLACE” by telling him that Wednesday would not work.

Back in the day, the word “PLACE” had a strong racial connotation in segregated locales, e.g., black people “staying in their PLACE,” or a black servant or employee who became too “forward” being accused of “not knowing their PLACE,” or an uppity individual needing “to be shown their PLACE,” etc.

This type situation was illustrated numerous times in the movie, “THE HELP.”

Don’t worry, it’s just Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnel making a porn movie.

Do two negatives make a positive?

[Salamander]

I wasn’t quoting the lyrics.

Just making a statement.

The silken darkness was swept asunder, like the ripping of a stellar bodice, its plasma laid bare, heaving and vulnerable.

I’m off to take a cold shower. Back in 15 minutes.

separated by only about 490 light-years

So I take it the merger (when all hell breaks loose) ain't fixing to happen anytime soon.

You learned that in physicists school, didn't ya :^)

[Salamander]

LOL

[Salamander]

Actually, yes.

[I wasn’t paying attention to the teacher, though]

:)

[Salamander]

50mm should be done his cold shower, by then.

“ginormous” is a cute word teenaged girls use. Time for grown ups to stop using it and let it die

[SoldierDad]

Does this involve Maxine Waters and Michele Obama?
