NASA to Announce Success of 50+ Year Galactic Hunt

"Hey we're going to have a press conference to tell you something."

Erm, isn't the point of a press conference?

Still it'll be interesting to see what it is.

My guess?

NASA has found their long lost and elusive direction.

Hello Dave, it is good to see you again. It has been 50 years according to my calculations.

From the NASA website...

A video file about the discovery will air on NASA Television on May 14. NASA TV is carried on an MPEG-2 digital signal accessed via satellite AMC-6, at 72 degrees west longitude, transponder 17C, 4040 MHz, vertical polarization. NASA TV is available in Alaska and Hawaii on AMC-7 at 137 degrees west longitude, transponder 18C, at 4060 MHz, horizontal polarization.

What complete dorks.

The most interesting part to me is that they've been hunting this "object" for so long, yet they've only recently discovered it. So they've known about it.. weird.

The interesting thing is that they can know it is there having never seen it, by the way light is bent around the object or the effect of the objects gravitational pull. The shit the do with math really is amazing.

I had a friend of mine who was a math major at Miami, prove to me that a point has no dimentions while at the same time is you line them up, they create a line. It fucked me up for years. :biggrin:

I'm guessing it is something that has only been theorized before and not observed directly.

Black holes, pulsars, neutron stars etc were all proposed long before they weer viewed.
