Forum Overview :: Motherfucking News :: Re: Thread hijack: The birth of a Strange Star

[quote name="Chairman Mao"][quote name="laudablepuss"]It's news to me. But I found <a href=http://www.aip.org/enews/physnews/2002/split/585-1.html>this</a> article which is pretty interesting. The Chinese may have seen something a little more unusual even than a "regular" supernova. Are you referring to these two objects or do you have a more up-to-date link?[quote] That's the ones. The suggestion has been that it may be this repulsive dark energy that keeps stars massive enough to liberate previously thought unliberateable quarks from just collapsing into a black hole. I wish I could scrounge up the link on that though, I can't seem to find it.

I've got all the silly, hyperactive cautiousness of a peerson's puppeteer. [/quote]
