7.4 Billion years isn’t that long ago, when you think about it.
I read an article in Scientific American many years ago that if two black holes met about a third of their masses would be converted into energy this way. Always wondered if they had any observation of such an event. Maybe this is it.
A little early for the bong, no?
Somebody please tell me when the ‘Big Bang THEORY’ ceased being a THEORY
About 13.7 billion years ago, maybe.
Perhaps you could re-acquaint yourself with the distinction between a hypothesis and a theory.
Einstein's Theory of relativity corrected Newton's Laws of motion.
I suspect a warning could be issued by the government to warn the populous.
I have many contingency plans on how to survive such an event, not to give away too many secrets but by hiding behind my sister in laws butt would all but ensure my survival.
And no, I won't tell you her name.
“Halfway back to the ‘Big Bang’?”
Same line of thinking gives scientists the certainty that they know where the CENTER of the universe is.
The center of an infinite universe....
Now what we really should be thinking about is that such an explosion of Gamma and X-rays may have occurred only 7.399999999 billion light years away, and the beam from it will hit Earth next year.
Just think, Something that could wipe out all life on Earth, could actually have happened so far ago we can’t even imagine it, and could happen in the blink of an eye.
“Perhaps you could re-acquaint yourself with the distinction between a hypothesis and a theory.”
Hypothesis is a theory proposed by an undergraduate.
Theory is a hypothesis proposed by a Professor with tenure.
Global, er..Universal warming at it’s finest!
Damn, the Gore is one smart cookie!
Don’t forget the sunscreen!
Transformer go boom?
