Atheists might find this research fascinating. Because of the short
orbital period one can calculate the apogee and perigee with phenominal
precision, enough so that both theories of Relativity can be measured
even from the fringe of the Sagittarian arm all the way to the
billions-solar massive black hole in the center of our galaxy.

The adaptive optics at Keck are another phenomenal achievement in the
realm of precision. The telecopes are capable of discriminating the
vibrations from a human being walking on the ground from 100 meters
away, or more.

Tholen is well qualified to comment on this. He's a nationally known
astronomer AND he also is very experienced at sucking black holes! :-)


I'd really like to know why alt.astronomy has become nothing but an
apparent dumping ground for off-topic bull****.
