The You Game!

[Tobbe]

Of course. Everyone outside of the Netherlands wants to punch him in the face, the smug bastard.

[Puruun]

< didn't know he won the gold medal already, < just read it 8D
< is proud of him.

[Rayman9930]

< likes the you game. Don't we all?

[Puruun]

< doesn't want to be too harsh, but < thinks ^ should start posting more interesting messages.

[PluMGMK]

< agrees with ^.

[Rayman9930]

< thinks we should talk about science. How about the universe? How many times does a pulsar spin a sec.?

[Tobbe]

The observed periods of their pulses range from 1.4 milliseconds to 8.5 seconds

What is the age of the Earth, then, Rayman3390?

[Rayman9930]

< will put it your way.

Unfortunately, the age cannot be computed directly from material that is solely from the Earth. There is evidence that energy from the Earth's accumulation caused the surface to be molten. Further, the processes of erosion and crustal recycling have apparently destroyed all of the earliest surface.

The oldest rocks which have been found so far (on the Earth) date to about 3.8 to 3.9 billion years ago (by several radiometric dating methods). Some of these rocks are sedimentary, and include minerals which are themselves as old as 4.1 to 4.2 billion years. Rocks of this age are relatively rare, however rocks that are at least 3.5 billion years in age have been found on North America, Greenland, Australia, Africa, and Asia.

While these values do not compute an age for the Earth, they do establish a lower limit (the Earth must be at least as old as any formation on it). This lower limit is at least concordant with the independently derived figure of 4.55 billion years for the Earth's actual age.

Here you go, Tbboe.

Aww, you're such a meanie, Tobbe!

[Rayman9930]

> says,"Hey Tobbe, what are millisecond pulsars?"

[Tobbe]

It's a pulsar with a rotational period of 1-10 ms.

How much energy do you need to accelerate an object with mass to light speed, then?

[PluMGMK]

< thinks it's infinity.

[Rayman9930]

>What is a Magnetar?

[MrBadGuy]

< feels this topic is getting out of hand

[PluMGMK]

< wonders why.

[Locas]

< Is officially going to be a bass player.

[Acarr]

< is officially going to kick your ass

[Locas]

< asks why

[Serza5]

< is officially going to be a banjo player

[Rayman9930]

< wants to know why people like the banjo.
