The MOST bizarre thing in the MILKY WAY= Hyper-fast star faster than ever??

Is been a while since i posted anything in my blog, and to be honest i didn't know what in the world post. But today i just saw some interesting post at nasa's website. This for me is like the most bizarre thing I ever read in my LIFE! According to NASA (As said in the article) a hundred million years ago, a triple-star system was traveling through the bustling center of our Milky Way Galaxy when it made a life-changing misstep. The trio wandered to close to the galaxy's giant black hole, which captured one of the stars and hurled the other two out of the Milky Way. Adding to the stellar game of musical chairs, the two outbound stars merged to form a super- hot, blue star.

-Here is the image for graphical explanation.

1.Triple-star system moves near black hole at center of Milky Way galaxy.
2.One star falls toward black hole; binary pair recoils and is ejected.
3.Binary system leaves galaxy.
4.Binary merges to form blue straggler.
5.Blue straggler travels away from galaxy.

The most bizarre thing of all, is that the blue star from the triple star system that escaped the milky way galaxy, did it twice as fast than any regular hyper-fast star,(which by the way are very common in the Milky Way). A team of investigators calculated the speed from the point of ejection to its current location and  quoted,

"The star is traveling at an absurd velocity, twice as much as the star needs to escape the galaxy's gravitational field," explains Brown, a hypervelocity star hunter who found the first unbound star in 2005. "There is no star that travels that quickly under normal circumstances-something exotic has to happen."


So, the most interesting part is that astronomers indicate, that this exotic matter might be the always known but yet unknown dark matter. Is very bizarre to know that in our galaxy the way that dark matter pulls a rabbit out of the had with something so bizarre as contradicting the usual speeds of hyper-fast stars is pretty amusing, not only dark matter is invisible and is pulling apart the universe together with dark energy but now it seems it does it without a constant speed.


Could it be that the black hole help out by inertia the blue star and that added up with the pulling force of the dark matter distributed in our galaxy? who knows....but the amazing universe is more pulchritudinous than ever.  

A Reply to the Bad Astronomer to his last post of Stephen Hawking

Yesterday night there was the premiere of the new TV series of Stephen Hawking called "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking". I must say it was probably the best series Stephen Hawking has done so far. But this post is not about the documentaries he does, is about discussing a little bit about aliens and Phil Plait's recently posted "In which I disagree with Stephen Hawking". In his post he discusses Stephen Hawking's opinions with more opinions.

I have to say that even thou Stephen Hawking might be the smartest cookie in the globe today, it seems Phil Plait is very skeptic about his opinions and stood up to be the first contender against hawking's point of view of aliens. After I read his post I was kind of skeptical myself as well, I must say, and therefore I had to post my opinion in his blog posting this.


"To Bad Astronomer, I think that we cannot know how the aliens will look like, or what are their intentions. Just imagine ourselves as the aliens traveling through other galaxies to explore new worlds. What would our intentions be? I mean really, we haven't have the time to really think it through, we haven't been in outer the milkyway so we can't really tell what the aliens might do because we think like humans who just been to the "moon" and we just think what the aliens can possibly do, but not what humans possibly might do if we are able some day to do interstellar travel. In a logical point of view, the human rationale is only queerer than we can predict so just imagine how queerer an alien species might think logically.


We can assume that aliens might send robots to take our resources or just simply think that they were so intelligent that destroyed themselves and that's why we don't see any E.Ts visiting earth.


I think that whatever race who develops interstellar flight it doesn't mean is most likely to be doomed. It can mean progress if we take a look int he optimistic way. There can be many possible reasons for an alien to take our resources the same way there can be many possible reasons the aliens didn't make it to earth. There can't be a single reason of why we cannot think in some possible reasons to be doomed or at least some possible reason to be unique.

At the end of the day it makes no difference, everything continues forward. Life is just life where you put it and questions are just questions seeking for a logical answer. In my opinion I think is better to be prepare  for any possible threat and at the same time workout a way to be prepare for a peaceful alien visitation. There are plans for everything the same way there are ideas for the unknown but we need to realize that not all that we know about logical way of thinking is completely accurate when it comes to E.T visiting earth."

I was very skeptical after what the Bad Astronomer posted and per say, these little battles between Stephen Hawking and Phil Plait are kind of cool. I really hope Dr. Phil Plait seeks for more battles, he certainly looks like a very nice contender.
