My personal preference is to keep these theads where they are.

And mine would be to get them off the main news forum
if doing so would reduce the nonsense SN rants.
I don't know if that would result in actual science discussion
ra^ther than the current hijackings.

All particles are modes of vibration of strings. Since everything is already strings there would be no need to break things down to strings.

As a science forum, I haven't done much with the forum software in a couple of years but I bug fix, upgrade will if I need to. Or just open source the whole damn thing (java servlets) so yall can fix bugs too!

My server is connected to the net via dialup so pics are a tad slow.

Thank you for the offer, but my addiction "FreeRepublic" is my homepage.
I have nothing in favorites except my own website
and I don't even go there except to check that uploads took.

Dido, my habit is to hit drudge report (see whats up) then BBC Science ( i hate BBC, but love science) then settle down into FR for the rest of the day. I do post interesting stuff on "The Reporter" makes for easier searching and a more convenient archive since I integrated a full text search engine into my forum.

Strange stars.

[jpsb]

I read a while back that some call them extinction stars since they would kill all life in the path of their gamma ray bursts up to about 1000 light years away. Not a very good stellar neighbor.

I read that too somewhere. What's really odd is to do a search on google for "strange matter" and "earth" and there is some evidence that a 10 ton piece of strange matter about the size of a cell passed through the earth. Strange matter is thought to have some strange qualities.
