Hmm... Astro Theories considered Astro-Not talk?

I was wondering who can contribute a condensed version for the explaination of Hawkings Radiation... Feel lazy to read through that website provided!

actually i think it would be more appropriate to have astro theories as a separate section of the forum, not put under astro-NOT talk..

Just a suggestion

: Like what hannah mentioned, i think we should have a seperate section for theories. This forum seems mostly practical astronomy, and there seems to be very little theories. If a theory section could be included, this forum would definitely attract more people as i believe there are a whole lot of astronomers out there who knows more of theory than their practical (there are alot of such people here, like me).

Hi,
I think adding a Astro Theories section is not practical at this moment... how many people will post anything on Astro Theories?? We are not that "professional" yet. If you like theories, you can always post it under General Astronomy section.

Anyway, I would like to point out that pratical observation is very importance in Astronomy. You need to get a lots of data to support your theories and you can only get these data through a lots of observation.

By the way, you don't need to have a lots of equipment to enjoy observation, you can just sit down and look at the stars with your nake eye or a bino... Remember, if you look at the sky offen, who knows that one day you might get a chance to spot a SuperNova "explode" in front of your eyes... dream on...

Have a nice day.

Well, since this is theories thread.. THEORETICALLY you may be able to see supernova explosion. According to old estimates it is once a few decades or centuries, but recent estimates (if some theories - I forgot which - are proven true) tell us of one every few years, just in the Milky Way alone! ;)

So keep your eyes open!

yeah man, observing rocks. anyway, astro theories are not really certain yet and they are still many loopholes here and there.. so.... spend your time wisely by looking up instead =p.

Hope to see > 2500 stars in mersing soon ^.^
