NASA/Chandra X-Ray Observatory
The galaxy M87, which is about 50 million light-years from Earth.

(even if it is from the NYSlimes)

[maestro]

The frequency of these waves was equivalent to a B flat

Gabriel's...... B-flat horn........I knew that.......

:-)

A 'Band' of angels?

:-)

Yeah except that Hawiking has now said he was incorrect about black holes...so thqat needs to be rethought...Look astronomers by their own admissions are studying informatin that is probably billions of years old ( as in already done and finished) . The universe merely reminds us how small and really vainglorious man really us. Imagine being arogant enough to think that you actually have an answer to cosmology...

[mikrofon]

A wealth of observations of M87 over the years have illuminated, in messy, chaotic detail, the feeding habits of its central black hole

After all, it is a Messier object...

Bb. Our power grid at 60 Hz is close to B. B natural. In fact, in 'Singin' in the Rain' I was required to produce a B natural on my stringbass in the scene where they turn on the broadway lights so the character can say something to the girl. I think that's what they were doing, I couldn't actually see the show from the pit. It's very dark in the pit--like a black hole--but information emits from the pit just like Hawking's new black hole model. In this case we sounded like a neon sign, which contains a plasma--another link, to the gases surrounding a black hole.

I have seen the Disney movie "The Black Hole". I don't remember it being a musical. I remember Maximilian the evil Robot which Gore was made in image of though....

...oh...a...real black hole....oh...never mind.

Please disregard the previous transmission...the author has way too much time on his hands and it is a slow news night.

[hershey]

Boy, don't you wish you knew the answers to all this? Mind boggling, mysterious, and wonderful. 'The stuff that dreams are made of.'

[skinkinthegrass]

..interesting...thanks. {music}"just singin' and dancin' in the rain"{/music}....an all-time classic movie/song. :)) *grin*

[RightWhale]

It was a good show. Technically complex, but it came off well. Now there are a bunch of people that think I can actually play the bass.

[Rebel_Ace]

There is very hard scientific evidence to support that *ALL* Black Holes will "sing" at the same frequency:

After all, anything too close to a Black Hole is going to BE FLAT.

B-flat

Is that what the South Park gang calls the "brown noise"?

[solitas]

equivalent to a B flat, 57 octaves below middle C, the astronomers calculated.

Okay: middle-C = 261.63 Hz. 2^57 = a honkin' biiig number (1.441151880758559e+17)
One cycle would be: 2^57/60(seconds/minute)/60(minutes/hour)/24(hours/day)/365.2442(days/year) /261.63(hertz)= 17.45530811017224 MILLION years.

And B-flat is just a tad below middle-C, so, they 'measured' this 'frequency' exactly...HOW?

[Calvin Locke]

...the Disney movie "The Black Hole". I don't remember it being a musical.

I thought "In space, no one can hear you sing"?

[JudyB1938]

Job 38:
4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

[asgardshill]

I remember Maximilian the evil Robot which Gore was made in image of though.

Gore couldn't have been modeled on Maximilian - Maximilian had a sunnier personality and was a much better actor.

You've finally vindicated one of my long-held beliefs, namely that Air Supply COULDN'T have come from this galaxy (not to mention this planet).

[JudyB1938]

See my post up above. It's always amusing to me that scientists would be so much smarter and save a lot of wasted research time if they'd only take the Bible seriously.
