Here's something cool that I found this evening:
New Technique for 'Weighing' Black HolesESA's XMM-Newton has helped to find evidence for the existence of controversial Intermediate Mass Black Holes. Scientists used a new, recently proven method for determining the mass of black holes.
Nikolai Shaposhnikov and Lev Titarchuk, at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), have used the technique to determine the mass of the black hole, Cygnus X-1, located in the constellation Cygnus (the Swan) approximately 10 000 light years away in our Galaxy, the Milky Way.
The elegant technique, first suggested by Titarchuk in 1998, shows that Cygnus X-1, part of a binary system, contains 8.7 solar masses, with a margin of error of only 0.8 solar masses. Cygnus X-1 was one of the first compelling black hole candidates to emerge in the early 1970s. The system consists of a blue supergiant and a massive but invisible companion.

Comments on New Method for Determining BH Mass
Ah, Mikey... Ever the UBER-GEEK!!
By the way, How do you "prove" a process for determining the mass of a black hole?? Bring it to earth and weigh it?? Or is it all that geeky math stuff?!

Ahhh.....it's complicated. I could tell you, but then you'd tell someone else....they'd repeat it to God-only knows who and the next thing you know: we're all walking around comparing methods of determining the masses of black holes.
That would be pure chaos and I won't have anything to do with the downfall of Western civilization using this methodology....

And They Wonder...
....why we think they'll be the undoing of Western civilization?
Oh, I don't know.....maybe it how they react to someone dying?
Good God.....can you imagine the shear volume of foaming-from-the-mouth that would inundate the world if people cracked jokes about George Soros choking to death on a chicken wing? Or how about if SWWNBN was hit by a satellite falling out of orbit? (reference to 'Northern Exposure' and one of Maggie's boyfriends). Or what if Michael J. Fox died tragically in a Jenga accident?
Seriously - there would probably be people immolating themselves over such offenses.
Yeah, Reverend Falwell did make some.....unwise comments in his time but to be celebrating his death?
To me, that's pretty F'ed up.....and they wonder why some people giggle while watching leftists getting their heads THONKED by the police at protests.....

It is no more fucked up then making a comment the 9-11 was God's revenge on sinful people. Or that Katrina was God's revenge on immorality.
So I cannot say I am surpirsed that people are celebrating that scumbag's death. Personally, I don't think celebrating ANYONE's death is appropriate, but it still does not mean the guy was a piece of garbage close minded lying scamming bigot.
And hipocrasy Mikey - next time a muslim diies, don't go "celebrating"
