In that case you wouldn't mind promoting a few supercomputer simulations. Isn't it better to check with observations of the real world first? But go ahead with your simulation if you want. Start on your own laptop - the laptops of today are very capable machines which have a computing power clearly exceeding the supercomputers of only a few decades ago. Get back here when you've got some promising results from your simulation. Of course that will require that you explain to others exactly what you simulated and why your results are promising - and that may of course be an obstacle for you. But if you want others to fund computer time on today's supercomputers for you, you must be able to motivate them for doing that. Good luck! Considering all the lethal mainstream flack that I have to continually survive without a stitch of help from others that claim to already know all there is to know, I'll need that luck. My skill at motivating others is less than polished, but then your PR skills are clearly more than sufficient, as are the many wizard skills of others that are most often on one kind or another of a public funded existence.

And people are always reluctant to change, especially those who are well off, because they are comfortable in their present situation and don't want anything to ever change. The smart ones see change as opportunity, grab onto it, contribute positively and ultimately profit by it. Unca Rollo |

Our sun is in a 105,000-year elliptical orbit around the Procyon and Sirius star systems. The observed motions of Sirius and Procyon do not support any notion of orbital relationship with our sun. In addition, if the Sun was in such an orbit, the orbital period would be of the order of several billion years instead of a mere 105 thousand years. Which means that not many, if any, revolutions in that orbit would have been completed during the lifetime so far of the Galaxy. In addition, that "orbit" would be so easily disturbed by other stars passing nearby that the stars would most likely be scattered from one another before even half an orbit would have been completed. An orbital period of a mere 105 thousand years would require an orbital velocity of some 100 km/s which is way way beyond escape velocity for such a system. Hans Kroll has just revealed his total ignorance in orbital mechanics... -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Schlyter, Grev Turegatan 40, SE-114 38 Stockholm, SWEDEN e-mail: pausch at stjarnhimlen dot se WWW: http://stjarnhimlen.se/ Supposedly our entire galaxy is trekking through the cosmos at 120 km/ s. Our galaxy is trekking through space much faster than that, relative to far-away galaxies. But that speed is irrelevant, since it won't influence the speeds of the stars within our galaxy relative to one another. So, what's the big deal about 100 km/s? The big deal is that we're talkning not about the speed of our etire galaxy, but the speed of stars within our galaxy relative to one another. Suppose you're hit by a car travelling at 50 mph. You would die, or at least be seriously injured by such a hit. How come? After all we're all moving with some 500-1000 mph on the surface of the Earth as the Earth rotates. And in our yearly orbit around the Sun we're all travelling at some 67,000 mph. We're able to cope with these huge velocities fine - so why would a car, travelling as slowly as 50 mph as it collided with a person, matter at all? ~ BG -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Schlyter, Grev Turegatan 40, SE-114 38 Stockholm, SWEDEN e-mail: pausch at stjarnhimlen dot se WWW: http://stjarnhimlen.se/ Considering how interstellar dark matter is not nailed down, how objectively proof-positive is our distance from Sirius, and thereby interpreting as to our mutual closing rate of velocity? ~ BG |

WHAT ????????????? Did I ever prohibit anyone to run simulations on a supercomputer? No I don't think so (if you want to dispute this, please refer to something where I wanted to prohibit this. You won't find it, because I never did that). BTW CPU power is hardly a matter anymore - the average laptop of today has a CPU power which clearly exceeds the CPU power of the supercomputers only a few decades ago such as the Cray-1, Cray-XMP, Cray-2 .... So why don't you go ahead and run whatever complex simulations you want on your laptop! I don't want to stop you, and even if I wanted to I would be unable to do so. The only thing which can stop you is your own lack of knowledge, skill, or motivation to create such a simulation. Good luck! You are aware of the original combined mass of the Sirius star/solar system? The original mass hardly matters. What matters if you want our solar system to orbit Sirius is the current mass of Sirius. In the beginning when those ice age and subsequent thaw cycles were more frequent, thereby the original stellar mass certainly does matter. I think it has a little something to do with the continuing expansion of the universe, or at least the 225 million year galactic cycle of the Milky Way, though I could be wrong. Perhaps it's merely a barycenter issue, so that we only get to within something under one light year, although 0.086 ly would certainly make those complex elliptical trek simulations a whole lot more interesting. What about the mutual tidal radius loss after Sirius B kind of went postal on us? btw, another pesky cosmic question of the day: Where’s the Sirius B cocoon? (are we not within it?) ~ BG |

For telescopes, glass itself is a very minor part as far as mass is concerned. Glass is made with electricity, not oil. Around here our electricity is mostly nuke and some wind power. Probably in the future some 20% of the electricity will be generated by wind. In any case, the amount of glass that I use per year would not fill the back of a small pickup truck. The yearly consumption of soda pop per person uses 10 times as much glass. Even so, glass is kinda nice since it can be easily recycled to make new glass. You are such a child, potty mouth.

As others have noted, 1850 was around the time of something called the "Industrial Revolution", when the steam engine had just been invented, and so people started burning coal to do many different things to a much greater extent than before. Of course, energy consumption then wasn't what it is now, so the effect was weaker. While back then, people did have thermometers and record the weather, things like tree rings and isotope ratios have been used in modern studies of past climate as well, and this helps to avoid errors due to any limitations on older means of measurement.

Ah, here we a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_record discusses the matter quite well. Apparently they don't need to use stuff like tree rings except for times before 1850, so I wasn't quite right. John Savard |

Unca Rollo Ah, so the Chinese are indeed coming after you; contrary to your argument of a year ago, it seems electricity costs are not a significant factor in your--or the Chinese--glass costs. I know, consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds, right? Or perhaps you can't remember your past posts--check the archives. Potty mouth??? Are you for real?? |
