Cornell President Rawlings Condemns Intelligent Design
Drawing from sources ranging from Cornell's founders to Voyager space missions, Interim President Hunter R. Rawlings III condemned the push to teach intelligent design in public schools Friday. The attack came during the president's State of... http://www.cornellsun.com/vnews/display.v/...4/435c7762cf891 "The desire to understand the world and the desire to reform it are the two great engines of progress." - Bertrand Russell -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

QUOTE (Richard Trigaux @ Nov 18 2005, 09:00 AM) Yes it would, but if you think in depth, the energy of the detonatoin would have to be BROUGHT IN the neutron star by the mechanism able to break it (it will have to yeld a tremendous amount of energy to split apart the parts of the neutron star.) So this is, I think, rather unlikely to happen, and coalescence of two neutron stars or black holes may just yeld larger neutron stars/black holes. I don't know, imagine a neutron star orbiting a black hole within the Roche limit, material will be sucked off of the surface simillar to what is shown here. If the rate of material loss from the neutron star is sufficient that its mass falls below the critical degeneracy pressure limit before it falls past the schwartzchild radius then we should see an explosion. Though I am not a supercomputer so I could not tell you if this is theoretically feasible or not. |

Though I am not a supercomputer so I could not tell you if this is theoretically feasible or not. Perhaps a black hole is able to suck matter of a neutron star? In this case, the neutron star could become smaller than the minimum limit to form (about 1.3 solar mass). How much smaller? if the neutron star becomes too small, it cannot be sucked by the black hole, or it may fall in it completelly. Before it explodes? |
