On another note, I do believe that the Hubble program should have been retired long ago, it costs quite a significant amount of money and resources just to keep the already obsolete piece of equipment running. Besides if you are interested in high altitude based 'scopes, check out SOFIA(Stratospheri...

The math involved is too complexed when it comes to this subject, you either have to be God, a natural born mathematical genius or suffer from a special kind of autism (asperger's syndrom most likely), like what Einstein is said to suffer from, to be able to put these theories together to form the e...

different as in the conditions at which the variables are measured... probably due to the uncertainty principle where it is stated that the exact velocity and position of the particle cannot be observed at the same time, therefore preventing the possibility of predicting the future... or something...

Man this is embarassing... I kinda found out it's actually and officially known as the Higgs boson... The BBC News website(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3546973.stm) has quite a good write up on this... I'm still trawling around for more detailed sites...

The LBT Project
For deep-space observation entusiasts, do check out the updated site, "http://medusa.as.arizona.edu/lbto/", on the Large Binocular Telescope Project. It is touted as the most powerful land-based telescope in construction.

SOFIA(Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy)
Anyone heard of SOFIA(Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy)?
Heard that it would be the next big thing in deep-space telescopic observation...

I completely understand that it is physically possible to have a piece of matter achieve the speed of light however i just want to know what is it like... According to the bible, God is light so therefore time does not apply to him, so i'm wondering, if particles(or God for that matter) is/are trave...
