Nonesense; just think of yourself as being the scientific equivalent to Gracie Allen. You get to "set up" the punchlines. Without you asking good questions, we wouldn't hear all those great answers.
Now, say good night, Gracie.....
Thanks. I feel much better now.
Damn! It took me a minute or two.........Hahahhahahahahaha!
Could be that we're surrounded by water:
Genesis
1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Can't wait to see what the big minds come up with.
A Mercury probe picks up speed from the sun's gravity as it heads inward. After passing Mercury, it ends up in a new orbit around the sun (most likely an eccentric orbit that stretches approximately from Mercury's orbit to Earth's orbit).
As interstellar atoms are ionized, they are “picked up” by the solar wind plasma and swept out to the heliosphere’s termination shock. Since these pickup ions are products of the interaction between the solar wind and the neutral atoms of the interstellar medium.
There, a small percentage of these ions are accelerated to cosmic ray energies and then propagate back into the inner heliosphere where they are observed as "anomalous cosmic rays." This process has recently been confirmed by the observervation on AMPTE and Ulysses that anomalous cosmic rays are, indeed, singly ionized
These anomalous cosmic rays return to the inner solar system where some are captured by the earth’s magnetosphere. In other words, these particles zip back and forth through the heliosphere: They are blown into the solar system as interstellar neutral atoms, blown out to the termination shock as pickup ions and then returned to the inner solar system as anomalous cosmic rays.
The elemental composition of interstellar clouds is much like that of the sun, about 90 percent hydrogen and 9.99 percent helium. The heavier elements make up the remaining 0.01 percent.
The heliosphere is probably well represented as stagnation point flow occuring between the solar wind and an interstellar wind. The resulting configuration is similar to the Earth's magnetosphere. Inside the heliopause, the solar wind passes through a termination shock that is elongated in the downstream direction and which is moving back and forth at speeds up to 100 km/s.
Now we know that there must be an outside force acting on Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11. Are the two Voyageer probes experiencing the same phenomena? I noticed that the Ulysses and Galeleo are also experiencing the same behavior . I think the chaos theory comes into play right about now.
Gotta get some shut eye. Let me know if you hear of anything else pertaining to this.
Check my links from post # 105. :)
Has Nasa adjusted their data to account for Oprah's recent weight gain?
That has to be the most cogent reply on this thread!
Actually just the opposite is true, beyond the pulling of hair kind of thing. If everything were known and understood, there'd be nothing more for them to do. Data that does not fit current theories is the stuff new theories are made out of. Also new Nobel prizes and such of course.
