Journal Journal: Antimatter Supernova -The Biggest Bomb in the Cosmos

Journal by Aviate-X-14 on Monday March 22, 2010 @01:47PM

"We've recently seen the largest explosion ever recorded: a supergiant star two hundred times bigger than the sun utterly obliterated by runaway thermonuclear reactions triggered by gamma ray-driven antimatter production. The resulting blast was visible for months because it unleashed a cloud of radioactive material over fifty times the size of our own star, giving off a nuclear fission glow visible from galaxies away."

How about....Mickey Mouse!! I wonder, has anyone considered that maybe ET won't have a telephone? and if he does, then, hows the wire going to stretch from his to our planet? Skype! i hear you cry, but, then, isn't who answers in ET's hands, not ours?

EagleHasLanded writes "Who speaks for humankind if ET calls on us? Paul Davies, chairman of the SETI Post-Detection Taskgroup, is a likely ambassador. But Allen Tough founded the Invitation to ETI Web site, which encourages ET to make contact via email (and also strongly discourages humans from impersonating ET). But an individual in the UK got over some of the hurdles designed to weed out hoaxers, before finally throwing in the towel."
