Especially when the subject’s physics. 😃 The reavealling clothing’s not just reserved for the classroom though, I’ve been known to wear similar things for DopeFests. 😉 **EddyTeddyFreddy** ---

It finally got cold here! The wind blew around through my open windows, tapped me on the shoulder, and asked fro cange for a fiver. That’s why I’m up already. Gonna go back to sleep in a sec… Glad to see **green** and **fizzy** again. Missed youse guys. Hmmm… **Angua** , dancing seductively whilst wearing a a rather revealing hat. ---

I’m sat here trying to formulate a coherent theory about my galaxies before Monday, when I have a meeting with my supervisor. My boyfriend’s supposed to be turning up soon, and I am so not looking forward to seeing him because I have too much work to do. **fizzygoodmakefeelnice** ---

You know what they say! All galaxy theory and no love leads to heartless domination by our evil galactic overlords. I’ll spot you both a beer. 🙂 Then, you can get back to the needs of the moment. **fizzygoodmakefeelnice** still owes us some pics. ;j ---

For me at any rate. We’ve been going through a rough patch, and I still need space. Which you would have thought would be easy with 250 miles between us. **NoClueBoy** ---

Sorry to hear of relationship woes. ☹ By galaxy theory, are you working on the problem of how and why they formed in the first place? Or evolution of current forms? Just wondering. All my strings are rolled up and stuffed in a closet, so _no fancy math talk!_ Unless it involves sheep in some outlandishly perverse way. **goiter** ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by NoClueBoy \* > \*\*Sorry to hear of relationship woes. ☹ \*\* Its OK. Things stagnate sometimes. And sometimes green eyed monsters raise their ugly heads, espeically with academics and the current job climate. > [@](#): > > **By galaxy theory, are you working on the problem of how and why they formed in the first place? Or evolution of current forms?** A bit of both really. I look at galaxies in the centres of clusters and I’m trying to figure out why I get smaller jets in richer clusters and why do the jets of my radio galaxies flare where they do - [see my webpage](http://www.sr.bham.ac.uk/~nnj/research.html) for the pretty pictures and info. **fizzygoodmakefeelnice** ---

Cool page. 🙂 I must have skipped over the part on excited intergalatic gas the last time I searched for new things to read. Or is that something that’s been known for years and us casual kibbitzers just tend to overlook it? I’m guessing our Local Group and Virgo don’t have that? in the spirit of the moment: **Quasar** ---

Pretty neat stuff them galaxies (hee hee, the second picture on your site looks like a sperm). Tell me about binary stars, **Angua** , how common are they? I read somewhere that the ratio of binary stars to single stars is 1:1. Is that true? **NoClueBoy** ---

Or is that something that’s been known for years and us casual kibbitzers just tend to overlook it?** Its been posited for a while, but its only with the recent X-ray satellites (Chandra and XMM-Newton) that we’ve had the spatial and spectral resolution to actually find the physical evidence for it. > [@](#): > > **I’m guessing our Local Group and Virgo don’t have that?** The Local group is a fairly poor group as far as groups go, so yeah, it doesn’t have much hot excited gas in it. Virgo probably has the bulk of the hot gas in our little group. **green\_bladder** , you know, I’ll never be able to look at that galaxy in the same way again. 😃 I don’t do stars. Don’t know too much about them consequently. But there are a lot of binary and multiple stars out there. **sperfur** ---
