So slow. God must be getting tired.

Star babies are so much faster than human babies. I suppose the black hole was pushing pretty hard.

Ghawd and her donut hole . . .

The True Torus, without which there is no bodily nourishment.

Yeah, SC is now redefining god as a galactic black hole, and as female, and somehow thinks god has a donut hole, none of which is mentioned in the article. SC likes to embellish. Reality is a crutch for people who lack imagination.

Embellish?

As opposed to making stuff up out of whole cloth using nothing but absurd little articles and clips from internet stars and alien conspiracists?

You are generous.

Not generous, just tired. SC is a known quantity here, high in ammonia and other aromatics. Not much description is needed.

6 million km/hr is 1,667 km/sec. The speed of light is 300,000 km/sec, so the star was ejected at about one half of one percent of the speed of light. Granted, that is moving right along, but relative to light, nothing to write home about.

OK but how many cubits per fortnight is that ?

Jesus Jumpin' Christ, it's the Kessel Run all over again!!!


But seriously:


"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues, when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what is true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.

"The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance."

--Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World, 1995

But why do you ask?

*LOL*

4,409,447,454,720

to be more precise

(assumes 1 cubit = 18 inches)
