Sheriff Zurlo with the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office says that the December 29th reported explosion is a meteor.

“We took close to 30 to 40 calls in a 10 minute period. All the calls were similar, houses rattling, sky turning a greenish color,” said Sheriff Michael Zurlo.

Zurlo says the calls came from all over the county. “Ballston Spa area, Town of Milton, Town of Galway, Town of Providence, Town of Edinburgh, and the western part of the Town of Greenfield.”

White dwarf matter weighs about a ton per cubic centimeter. If you can carry it, it’s not white dwarf matter. And the electrons have not been stripped—they’re what’s keeping the matter from compressing further. And furthermore, without a lot of pressure compressing it, white dwarf matter would explode.

That is simply the theoretical density. It’s never been studied directly in a laboratory for the same reason the earth’s core will never be visited. I think Chandrasekhar did most of the work.

You hold him while you are on the scale and then deduct your own weight.

I would just use a bath room scale...and I think it would work on any race of dwarfs, not just white ones.

Heh.

Fascinating about that density thing, wow.

Hey, wasn’t there some kind of bus-sized meteor that was supposed to come close to Earth on Jan. 2?
