I Think E.T.'s Making WMDs

Giant particle accelerator found.

Astronomers have discovered a loop-like structure some **20 light-years across close to the centre of the Milky Way. **

And the team that found it believes the vast, bizarre structure could be some form of cosmic particle accelerator.

The loop may produce sub-atomic particles with a thousand times more energy than those in man-made accelerators.

Details were presented at the National Astronomy Meeting in Birmingham.

The loop was seen using the European space telescope XMM-Newton to study it in X-ray wavelengths.

(emphasis mine)

We’d better start gearing up for some kind of attack. :eek: :eek: :eek:

That’s just Sokor trying to melt the protective iris on Earth’s stargate. Don’t worry about, he won’t get through.

It would be interesting to find out how much energy that loop uses.

Maybe it is not a weapon but a time machine! Then again, many people would consider a time machine a weapon.

To borrow a cliche from Fark:

This thread is useless without pictures!

Seriously…I’d like to see this structure they speak of.

Here ya go.

Yeah, it’s a bit disappointing. Sue me.
