Just when they turn up the ultimate gee-whiz fact about the universe, they find another one... The energy of 100 MILLION SUPERNOVAE!!! I wonder if there will ever be an end to such discoveries? I hope not (as long as none of them spells our doom!).

If it’s 3.5 billion light years away from us, doesn’t that mean it happened 3.5 billion years ago and the light from the event is just now getting here?

3.5 Billion light years from here.
So already happened. A very, very, very long time ago.
We’re already dead, just don’t know it yet.

Any chance of the black hole opening in D.C.?

The black hole is already there. It’s where our money goes - never to be seen again.

DC is already a black hole.
Where trillions of dollars disappear every year.
And where, if you go there as a politician, all your values disappear as well..........

Correct. But the gravitational wave front that blew away all the stars of the galaxy like leaves in storm also has yet to arrive here (although greatly attenuated; we’re safe). Should be interesting to watch (in 100,000 years or so).
To: LibWhacker
A contrarian word of advice: Some galaxies are only 10 feet away, but are very, very tiny.

I believe that the reason we won’t ever detect the existence of other sentient life in the universe is because it’s duration is so darn short. Our human existence has been the space-time equivalent of the blink of an eye!

Bush’s fault. Bush and those damned SUVs.

Think of it like when NBC does the Olympics with their “live to tape” thing. We get to watch it like it’s live, even though it’s really on delay.

Strange things happen in black holes... Like black a**holes getting elected to high office.

Great analogy. I get a headache when I think about it too deeply, LOL.
