I've never heard of this before. you're right, apparently it's rather common.<BR/><BR/>Gordo, that Millenium Simulation Project thing is pretty cool. thanks for the link.<BR/><BR/>No, Vic, gravity waves and black hole vibrations are merely tiny ripples in a very large pond.Clowncarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02219213001049223673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947514984021363360.post-75295332304656287212009-01-31T10:39:00.000-07:002009-01-31T10:39:00.000-07:00That's pretty awesome.
