[Y/H]ello! Remember at the beginning of pocket universe, the mention of a "divine intergalactical bassdrum"? Well, such a thing seems to exist: (from an article in Sueddeutsche Zeitung, September 16, page 11) After 53 hours of looking at the Perseus Galaxy heap, 250 million lightyears away, Chandra, a satellite perceptive to X-Rays brought forth pictures of srangely concentric circular structures. Through an analysis the English and American astronomers found out that these were in fact gigantic sound waves transported through the media of hot gases between the stars with the frequency of the tone 'b', 53 octaves below the base octave though, thus the deepest sound ever "heard" in the universe from our piece of solar driftwood. The scientics haven't found the "drum" itself yet, but suspect it to be a black hole with the energy output of some 100 million exploding stars. -- Justin - mailto:justin@zno.de ICQ 37456745 AIM jasticle public PGP key: pgp@zno.de
