What Happened To Courtney Day

Like Newton's apple! I'm


Aaaah get home and see that the cat threw up on the chair ...
But why the cat he vomited EXACTLY the place most difficult to clean, ie in the palm caused by a button on the chair??

In fact, no matter where the cat would vomit, it would be picked up there ... But why?? Newton receiving such intuition of the gravitational force along with the apple on the head, the cat Einstein certainly vomited on her sofa. Initially, it (I'm talking about Einstein, not the cat) had to say that the button of the sofa is more massive than the surrounding tissue, the gravitational pull would have attracted both masses, where the final mix.

But the gravitational force is not sufficient to explain the phenomenon. The gravity is too low, given the masses involved, to justify this attraction. Albert was then resigned to say that the curvature of the chair at this point was involved. Ugly. But he had to go farther! Albert then began to make calculations febrile and presto! He says the cause of the gravitational force was just a bend! The space-time is curved! It is curved by the presence of masses in the very fabric of space-time! A ball (or a cat vomit) running near a large mass on the chair would be deflected or attracted by the deformation caused by this mass!

Well, thanks to my cat, I now know as Einstein had his intuition of the curvature of space-time!

Now, clean ... Mr. Clean (called "Mr. Clean" in France) ? The tornado white (again I do not know the French equivalent ...) ? A supernova??

The supernova would have the advantage of settling at the same time all the problems of humanity at the same time! Imagine all of vomit cat eliminated from a shot of star that explodes!

Perhaps there is a way? Impossible to know since light travels at 300,000 miles per second, so if a star located 4 light years from here has exploded, we only see the explosion in only 4 years! If we take the example of SN 2006gy (no need to submit it, everyone knows it's the supernova that was observed in 2008), his star was in the galaxy NGC 1260 some 240 million light years from Earth. It has exploded in the year 239,997,992 BC! The more we look further, we look soon!

Take our sun ... It is 8 light minutes from Earth.

Let the sun has just exploded (I know it's too small to be a supernova, but you never know, a small tear in the spacetime magma hellish nuclear reactions of his heart and boom!), So it just exploded, we'll know in 8 minutes.

You have 8 minutes to leave me a comment!
