• Colliding White Dwarfs May Mimic Supernovae Used to Gauge Astronomical Distances

  
  Scientific American — Authority: 150
  Stellar explosions known as type Ia supernovae have proved invaluable to astrophysicists as markers of cosmic distance. Their brightness and consistency in observed properties allow astronomers to use them as "standard candles" to determine distances to objects in the sky. Just a decade ago type Ia supernovae took ...

  broken whole - 6'6 Gay Boy Gone Seriously Crazy in Hollywood — Authority: 113
  A little known fact about quantum mechanics is that it disproves Gods omniscience. Now, we all know that a watched pot never boils. What does this have to do with Gods omniscience?
