Actually that is completely false. India did not use any of the the materials stipulated for peaceful use for making bombs. It used only the waste produced by its own uranium which was not under any treaty. India wanted to give the waste back to USA but neither Canada nor US wanted it back and asked it to do with it as it pleases (ref. 1967 CIRUS2 agreement). When China went Nuclear India had no option but to pursue this road for its own defense.

NASA Achieves Breakthrough Black Hole Simulation 281

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday April 19, 2006 @11:28AM from the pretty-pictures dept.

DoctorBit writes "NASA scientists have achieved a breakthrough in simulating the merging of two same-size non-spinning black holes based on a new translation of Einstein's general relativity equations. The scientists accomplished the feat by using some brand-new tensor calculus translations on the Linux-running, 10,240 Itanium processor SGI Altix Columbia supercomputer. These are reportedly the largest astrophysical calculations ever performed on a NASA supercomputer. According to NASA's Chief Scientist, "Now when we observe a black hole merger with LIGO or LISA, we can test Einstein's theory and see whether or not he was right.""
