ARP 188.jpgARP 188142 visite"Do you want to know how the Law operates in my World?
I cannot answer you, since there are no Laws in my World: not anymore, not for ages.
There are none because there is no need.
The Law expresses the need to distinguish Good from Evil, codifying that distinction.
But the Creatures of the Universe do not need a "written aid" to distinguish Good from Evil.
In fact, even if you try to deny it at all costs, every Creature in the Universe is capable of distinguishing Good from Evil."
(Traduzione)
"...Volete sapere come opera la Legge nel mio Mondo?
Non posso risponderVi, poiché non ci sono Leggi nel mio Mondo: non più, da ere.
Non ce ne sono perché non ce n'é bisogno.
La Legge esprime la necessità di distinguere il Bene dal Male, codificando tale distinzione.
Ma le Creature dell'Universo non hanno bisogno di un "aiuto scritto" per distinguere il Bene dal Male.
In effetti, anche se Voi cercate di negarlo in ogni modo, ogni Creatura dell'Universo é capace di distinguere il Bene dal Male..."
Dal film "K-Pax"

X-Mas_Truce_1914.jpgThe World forgot, We did not!142 visiteBelgio, primo anno della Prima Guerra Mondiale, trincee della Fiandre a sud di Ypres, notte di Natale 1914: senza che nulla fosse concordato, i soldati degli opposti schieramenti cessarono il fuoco. Un fatto inaspettato ed impensabile: una tregua spontanea.
Forse, oggi, piu' che vane preghiere ed appelli accorati ed ipocriti per una Pace che non esiste, varrebbe la pena ricordare quello che accadde il 25 Dicembre 1914. Ed imparare.
Buon Natale! Joyeux Noel! Merry Christmas! Frohe Weihnachten!MareKromium

Timeline-PIA07142_modest.jpgThe "Timeline" of the Universe...141 visiteThis artist's conception illustrates the decline in our universe's birth-rate over time. When the universe was young, massive galaxies were forming regularly, like baby bees in a bustling hive. In time, the universe bore fewer and fewer "offspring," and newborn galaxies (white circles) matured into older ones more like our own Milky Way (spirals). Previously, astronomers thought that the universe had ceased to give rise to massive, young galaxies, but findings from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer suggest that may not be the case. Surveying thousands of nearby galaxies with its highly sensitive ultraviolet eyes, the telescope spotted three dozen that greatly resemble youthful galaxies from billions of years ago. In this illustration, those galaxies are represented as white circles on the right, or "today" side of the timeline.

Graph-PIA07336.jpgA Brown-Dwarf's planetary system and the Solar System141 visiteThis artist's conception shows the relative size of a hypothetical brown dwarf-planetary system (below) compared to our own solar system. A brown dwarf is a cool or "failed" star, which lacks the mass to ignite and shine like our Sun. NASA's SST set its infrared eyes on an extraordinarily low-mass brown dwarf called OTS 44 and found a swirling disc of planet-building dust. At only 15 times the mass of Jupiter, OTS 44 is the smallest known brown dwarf to host a planet-forming, or protoplanetary, disc.
Astronomers believe that this unusual system will eventually spawn planets. If so, they speculate that OTS 44's disc has enough mass to make one small gas giant and a few Earth-sized rocky planets. Examples of these possible planets are depicted at the bottom of this picture, circling a low-mass brown dwarf. Above, the bodies of our own Solar System have been drawn to the same scale. In each system, the terrestrial planets have been enlarged and the distances between them and their parent bodies scaled down.

HD 209458b.jpgPlanet HD 209458b141 visiteDa "NASA - Picture of the Day" del 5 Aprile 2005:"Light emitted by a planet far beyond our Solar System has been identified for the first time. The planet, illustrated in the above drawing, had its light detected by comparing the brightness of only the parent star, when the planet was behind the star, to the light emitted when both the planet and its parent star were visible. The Earth-orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope made the observation in infrared light, where the intrinsic glow of the planet outshines the light it reflects from its central star. The direct observation of light allowed a measurement of both the temperature and size of the planet: HD 209458b. Planet HD 209458b was confirmed to be larger than expected for its mass and on an orbit around its parent star that was unexpectedly close to a circle".

HARO 6-5B.jpgHARO 6-5B - HST140 visite"...Se un Giovane Uomo di Scienza dice che qualcosa, oggi impossibile o, magari, addirittura impensabile (come il viaggiare alla velocità della luce ed oltre), un domani - fra 10, 100 o magari 100.000 anni - potrebbe diventare una realtà, io penso che potrebbe avere ragione.
D'altra parte, se un Vecchio Uomo di Scienza dice che un qualcosa che, oggi, è impensabile ed impossibile, resterà per sempre impossibile ed impensabile, allora io dico che ha sicuramente torto..."

Ma se Voi, che siete i Discepoli, interpretate quella medesima regola allo stesso modo in cui l'ho interpretata io (e cioè in maniera errata), allora dite una stupidaggine. Mi sono spiegato?!?..."

BH-BlackHoles-swarm_cxc_labelf.jpgBlack-Hole Systems or Neutron Star Systems near the center of the Milky Way?140 visiteDa "NASA - Astronomy Picture of the Day" del 28 Gennaio 2005:"Monitoring a region around the center of our Galaxy, astronomers have indeed found evidence for a surprisingly large number of variable x-ray sources - likely Black Holes or Neutron Stars in binary star systems - swarming around the Milky Way's own central supermassive Black Hole. Chandra Observatory combined x-ray image data from their monitoring program is shown above, with four variable sources circled and labeled A-D. While four sources may not make a swarm, these all lie within only 3 LY of the central supermassive Black Hole known as Sagittarius A* (the bright source just above C). Their detection implies that a much larger concentration of Black Hole systems is present. Repeated gravitational interactions with other stars are thought to cause the Black Hole systems to spiral inward, toward the Galactic Center Region".
