Dead Stars collision picked up after 130,000,000 years


Recommended Posts

The VISTA telescope in Chile was a significant part of the observation. The build of this telescope was led from Edinburgh, including some of the instrumentation. The ALMA radio telescope was also involved, substantial amounts of the software for ALMA are written in Edinburgh. And of course LIGO depends on tech developed at the University of Glasgow.

Was there really any need for that? All you are going to do is wake him up and tempt him in to derail another interesting thread.:rolleyes:

It's kinda like the comments on the BBC site. The 3rd commenter in tries to use this amazing discovery to have a pop at Trump. WTF is all that about?

Sorry 

It was being discussed on BBC Breakfast this morning.

Dan "creationist" Walker and Louise Minchin had to interview a nerdy scientist  

She was struggling to keep a straight face and im not certain that was all to do with the "pop" sound of the explosion ....

To be fair he has never forced them on anyone and they have discussed Dinosaurs on the couch before to the great amusement of every wag on twitter

Think his retort was along the lines of  "Dont be stupid - of course i believe in dinosaurs"

He never expanded into them being here 4000 years ago though
