Sorry

Sorry to those three to four of you who actually enjoy reading the blog. Unfortuantely, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, the Collegian has gone on break with the rest of the school. I have no material. Or I should say, I'm a lazy bastard and don't feel like writing over break. Nonetheless, I promise, if something catches my eye I'll post, if not, I'll definitely be back on Monday. Peace. Unless it's Iran.

Oh, and let me say this real quick. If the President allows the Dubai Port thing to go through, I will officially not be a fan of his. I have said recently that if President Bush does nothing other than get two Conservatives on the bench in four years, I will be satisfied. However, this Dubai thing, under very close examination that I have yet to do, will trump Roberts and Alito. Do the right thing Mr. President. Seriously....WTF

UPDATE
DUBAI PORTS


And here's something to think about. Some pulsars, most being around 12-15 kms wide, can spin at a frequency of 10 to around 200Hzs. While the fastest known pulsar spins on its axis 642 times a second. Think about that. A 15km wide object spinning that fast has an angular velocity of around 30251.04 km/s. Why does this matter? Because pulsars are the best clocks in the universe. Imagine something that "pulses" every revolution it takes. Imagine that revolution is steady. Imagine you know that period and can detect that pulse. Get my point? Think about that.


(This may be a new addition to the blog. First a little political/social rant, then something in science that fascinates me. What do you think?)
