It sounds more convincing if you don’t have to use two ‘ands’ after ‘just’ to try and make it sound like a list of only three items
I assumed you could post intellegently - obviously about astrophysics for a start. This is going to sound stupid, but how do you get plasma flowing out of a black hole?
Well, we’re not entirely certain, but here’s a rough idea. Gravity and angular momentum forces galactic matter into an accretion disk around a black hole in the centre of a galaxy. As the accretion disk orbits the black hole, electrodynamic forces come into play, and forces out a highly collimated jet of relativistic plasma (probably electron-positron or electron-proton).
So not really plasma from a black hole, but more from the “active galctic nucleus” or AGN, which is the black hole plus the accretion disk.
Oooh… semi-intelligent post
Apologies if no one understands what I’ve just said.
I’m feeling guilty now; do you think some people might be frustrated, coming here for pictures of dopers, and instead getting an education in venting plasma?
It didn’t occur to you I might have mistaken your picture for someone elses? I checked and I didn’t, (I don’t think) but they were group photos.
Tut tut, bad Angua! You want someone to break out the silver collar?
Or maybe you flirt a lot on the other board, and weren’t including that in your count, eh?
Oh, no, we’re all arrogant. But you only notice it in the ones who are brave enough to, and willing to lower themselves to, talking to people.
{{Angua}} Try threatening it with an oscilloscope. It sometimes works when it’s being perverse. Or take a weekend off and come back to it with fresh eyes, but I gather than isn’t an option.
It’s my no makeup, do rag picture. Tir_tinuviel has a picture of me all hungover and clinging to someone - if she can scan it, I’ll post a link. That picture shows the hair and just how wee I am.
So why are there so many of you lot at the Union then? Or do you feel you can be yourselves there?
Aaww… Thank you. I’ve actually left it for the moment, and will look at it on Monday. I’m attempting now to write a midterm report on what I’ve done so far - its kind of like a mini-thesis!
Yes, but there’s appropriate fighting ignorance… if you have a GD on religion, and someone fights your ignorance about their belly-button lint, you might be annoyed. Not that I have a problem, but too many of these ‘get a room’ posts inturrupts the flow of a conversation
The page doesn’t actually say the captions belong with the picture below, and that people are listed respectively, but I believe I can deduce that. In which case I was right.
The ‘slightly better’ one in the pale blue top, or one of the ones in the blue dress from the 'fest. “Casdave, Garius, Angua” shows your head best, or one of the two on the row above that if you want to show more of you.
