NASA needs a calculator
Prof-Rabbit Offer Upgrade User ID: 98766 South Korea 07/26/2006 11:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	NASA needs a calculator Fron the NASA SOHO web site we have the following quote.. Over the past few weeks this extreme ultraviolet observing instrument on SOHO has witnessed at least four events where pieces of the Sun have blasted off into space. In most instances these are evidence of coronal mass ejections, solar eruptions that occur fairly frequently. Magnetic tensions above active regions strain and break apart, propelling solar particles into space at millions of miles per hour. The first event on June 26th appears to have been triggered by the collapse of a solar End quote.. From wikipedia we have the the following.. Converted to imperial units, the speed of light is approximately 186,282.397 miles per second, or 670,616,629.384 miles per hour. so the quote "propelling solar particles into space at millions of miles per hour." tends to break the laws of physics in several areas. Can someone please buy NASA a calculator? You are a fluke of the universe. You have no right to be here. Whether you can hear it or not, The universe is laughing behind your back Deteriorata (National Lampoon)

Quoting: Prof-Rabbit maybe after they buy you a brain? what part of 670,616,629.384 (670 million) don't you understand? . ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^** so many conflicting conspiracy theories, so little evidence of any.

Notice they said 'particles of solar' (radiation). Once the particles are obstructed by neutral particals of matter, it turns into 'light'. The true speed of light as common science knows it, is false. Before you argue, research. ; )

[link to helios.gsfc.nasa.gov] That's well under 670 million.

Brand new and then days after it went up NASA said we have to send up a repair crew because the parts made off shore were in millimeters and NASA used inches in their calculations... HA< HA: HA! Like we all believed that one??? The funny thing is that is the best excuse they could come up with...Yeah, right... These areare rocket scientists ya know!

It is particles that are ejected. Thats why we have so many hours warning after one of these events if they are headed our way. That warning time has allowed me to get up north to dark skys and see some nice Aurora a couple times.
