Space Forum / Astronomy / July 2008Polarised sunglasses see black hole disks
For the first time astronomers have found a way to get a clean view of the elusive disks of matter surrounding supermassive black holes. http://thefreereporter.net/newspr/3020202.html On Jul 27, 5:38 am, alan.j...@gmail.com wrote: > For the first time astronomers have found a way to get a clean view of > the elusive disks of matter surrounding supermassive black holes. > > http://thefreereporter.net/newspr/3020202.html You've got to be absolutely kidding. They are only now applying polarized optics in astronomy? Are they also aware that Earth isn't flat, and that Muslims do not have WMD? - Brad Guth Brad_Guth Brad.Guth BradGuth > On Jul 27, 5:38 am, alan.j...@gmail.com wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > - Brad Guth Brad_Guth Brad.Guth BradGuth Polarization filters have been around a long time, Brad. You can get one for your home scope just about anywhere. They have several applications. This is just the first time astronomers realized that they can use polarization filters to get a clearer look at the disks that surround black holes. happy days and... starry starry nights!

Good grief. Isn't polarized optics part of preschool astronomy duh-101? Are you saying that the best of our astronomers are mentally slow, and that others simply don't have a clue? No wonder their deductive observationology skills are still in the nearest space toilet. - Brad Guth Brad_Guth Brad.Guth BradGuth >> > On Jul 27, 5:38 am, alan.j...@gmail.com wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > > - Brad Guth Brad_Guth Brad.Guth BradGuth I think you might be being a little too harsh, Brad. It's like saying that anytime someone discovers something, they should be chastised for not already knowing it. People discover things all the time today that they did not know yesterday. This just makes them smarter today than they were yesterday. It does not mean they are stupid or mentally slow. Discoveries that bring us closer to a clearer picture of reality ought to be celebrated and rewarded. The punishment should fit the crime, The reward should fit the climb! happy days and... starry starry nights! SignatureIndelibly yours, Paine Ellsworth P.S.: Thank YOU for reading!

So, why the hell are they better than a half century out of date? Years ago I'd asked of using polarized optics, in part on behalf of KECK being soft-modified so as resolve 1 m/pixel of our Selene/moon. The polarized application was also along with a green or blue laser cannon illumination process of our otherwise soft earthshine illuminated moon. As of roughly 8 years ago, it seems that I'd also mentioned the NASA/ Apollo usage of polarized optics, of which by rights should have made our physically dark as coal moon look even darker (of greater contrast and much less glare factor) to the Kodak eye. - Brad Guth Brad_Guth Brad.Guth BradGuth If YOU say so, BradBoi! lmfjao! BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

A yahoo search gives over 120,000 hits and most are good ones on the first 31 pages of results. Some professional instruments are actually large polarized SUNGLASSES. lmao! I'm using a term here that I THINK you can understand. Don't want you to microwave your brain (whatever is left of it!) with your style of deductive logic. Are sunglasses considered custom-filtered optics? lmfjao! I'll leave it up to you to look these up. Can you manage that on your own? As for WMD: You never replied (as usual) to my comment about the U.S. removing 550 METRIC TONS of yellowcake from Iraq. Also don't forget Saddam's use of poison gas against his own people! I think the Muslims know that the Earth isn't flat. Well, some of them at least! I wonder what the U.S. did with all that yellowcake...
