2011 Nobel Prizes

Re: 2011 Nobel Prizes

I am not saying it is not a important discovery, it sounds very interesting and indeed a gamechanger type of discovery. I am saying that this award and the committee that presents it are biased and politicaly motivated. The most intersting thing for me is finding out the source of energy that is pushing or pulling because acceleration requires it. I do not know why but i seem to have trouble with most of the links you post Siggie. This one asks me to refresh it and when i do nothing happens.. I love science and i hate seeing it mutilated by politics and religion.

That's an opinion about the whole nobel award process then... not about THIS award specifically.

Of course the more interesting answer would be what is making it accelerate. But first you must discover that it does accelerate before you can explain why it does so otherwise there's nothing to explain.

I don't know about my other links... you're the first to say they've had a problem. This one isn't working because the censor is blocking the c0ck in c0cktail. Edit the url and it will work.

I've been keeping this a secret all along, but my real name is Bruce A. Beutler.

I won the Nobel Prize in Medicine and I'm so excited and honored.

I was gona win the Nobel Peace Prize for the contributions made in this forum but they politicized it and gave it to Obama instead.

My take on accelerated expansion of the universe that is different than the two initial suppositions : when the big bang occurred a certain amount of energy was embued into the matter as well as (time/space) .this directly informs how fast the matter will accelerate.The supposition that gravity would eventually stop the acceleration and pull the matter and(time/space)was wrong (as shown).The supposition that the gravitational (drag ) would slow the expansion down was only part right.The gravitational energy that impeded the original bang was not nearly as great as the energy of the bang itself hence the dramatic initial expansion.However as the matter and (time/space) expanded the gravitational inhibition lessoned but the energy embued in the matter and (time/space) was not reduced

Re: 2011 Nobel Prizes

Draw a circle around earth. Let's say the earths gravity is strongest between the earths surface & the ring & then starts to diminish in specific increments.
If a missile (or object) did leave the earths surface with an exact amount of energy & that energy was much greater that the gravitational force of earth.
And let us say the missile or objects force remained constraint.
Would that missil or objects speed increase after it passed the circle drawn around the earth? And as the gravitational force of earth diminished incrementally the further away from earths surface the missile or object got. Would the speed (velocity) of the missil or object increase?
Does anyone know if the objects at the edge of the universe are accelerating faster than the objects at the center of the universe?

Re: 2011 Nobel Prizes

Spent 2 years getting through the 12th grade, so am a bit shy on my astro physics knowledge.
Does anyone know if the most powerful stars or star systems such as quasers or maybe dual stars that rotate around each other at phenomenal rate or such like that occurs at the edge if the universe as well as further towards the center?
Are there more of these extremely energetic objects in specific sections of the universe? Or are they evenly or randomly dispersed?
Thanks in advance.

Quasars are the product of a blackhole when its sucking in more than she can eat so it blows it out as quasar which can be visible. There is a massive super blackhole at the center of each galaxy (including our own milkyway) but it can also form from the death of a very large star (200 times our sun). Binary stars are everywhere and have their own solar systems.....eventually they will collide with each other.
There are 100 billion stars in our galaxy and there are 100 billion galaxies in this universe stretched out like a spiderweb and expanding while held together with gravity and gravity is the boss.
