Hey everybody. I've been posting for a week or so, but I've yet to introduce myself formally.
My name is Andrew, I'm a college student; I just started studying toward a Math degree at FGCU in Ft. Myers, FL, then I hope to pursue a graduate degree a UF.
In the mean time, I earn a living as a tattoo artist, and work weekends as a transporter at a local hospital.
I've always enjoyed art and music, and I'm fascinated by astronomy; cosmology in particular.

Sorry if that notice seemed off-putting, but we had new members taking advantage of a weakness in the vBulletin software to pretend to be well-established members. I thought it was important to let people know about that. Fortunately, I found a way to close that door, and it doesn't seem to be an issue any more.Originally Posted by garygo

Welcome to the forum! As I'm sure others will note, your English is far better than my Arabic and free of spelling errors so far as I can tell.

Welcome.
The impostor warning message refers to a brief series of incidents where someone with a botnet (possibly a spam engine) has been deliberately hijacking member profiles. Doing so makes it difficult for these users to access their visitor messages, albums, and user settings. We've made changes to the login procedure that should make such attacks considerably more difficult.

Welcome, Roobydo, good luck with your studies.
BTW that magnetic field pic would be a great tattoo.

Hi
I am new here. I am interested in stargazing, space and astronomy. I went to Cornell University to study biochemistry and I got to see Carl Sagan talk several times. I have followed with interest the news about the rovers on Mars. Right now I am a writer publishing on Scribd.com and I'm adding the final touches to a fictional romance Sci-Fi story on Mars that also features the Spirit Rover. I wanted to know if anyone would be interested in me posting a link to that here once it's ready. If so, I wanted to know in which section it would be more appropriate for me to post it?
Thanks.

Hi Phantomimic,
Sounds interesting - I reckon that a number of us here would be interested in a link to your story once you're done with it. Not sure the best spot - maybe in the Off Topic Babbling or Small Media at Large?
Anyway, welcome to you, and the last several new members here. Hope you have a blast!
Member
Thank you very much for your reply Spoons, I will check those sections and others. I am still finding my way around and are a bit confused as to how to post new topics and so forth.

If there's anything you're unsure about you can get your post count up to 10 in the fun-n-games section and once you've cracked tri-pi (10) posts you can private message another member or a moderator to ask a question about posting.
Shouldn't take long to get the feel of the place - just make sure you're having fun!

Newbies are allowed to send private messages, just very, very few, and only to one person at a time. (There was a period a couple of years ago when new members would join then immediately send out massive numbers of PMs, so we had to clamp down.)

My name is Bill Hopper. I worked in the Design Review department at S&ID for the first moon launch of the Saturn and Apollo. In 2000 I retired as a Captain with a major airline. On Dec 20,2009 I posted my views concerning the Golf Ball crater. That seemed to upset someone as I am very direct. In the late 50's I was about to die in a T-34 at 12.500 feet over Texas, and was saved by a very slow particle beam emanating from a UFO. Unfortunately this event has left me with a great deal of frustration as there is no way to get real information out to people with open minds, as the event details are way beyond the minds I see out there. Please disregard my posting on Dec 20,2009 as I am closing my account. One note before I do " Be more inclined to accept the fact that we are not alone". Enjoy the Holliday Season.
Best regards, Bill

Hi All,
Newby intro!
My name is Dave Glassman,
I'm 46 years old, married with 2 daughters, and we live waaaay out in the sticks which makes for great skies on the few days without a cast-iron Puget Sound cloud lid
We love sitting outside stargazing in the summer, and I have a nifty little skyquest xt6 dob for poking around the sky.
I'm a computer geek, coming from a background in submarine navigation electronics.
I've been lurking on the board for a couple of years now, and I'm finally ready to contemplate actually asking questions
Best of the season to you all!

Hey Dave, welcome to BAUT! There are a couple of others with a submarine background here, I guess you'll meet them some day if you decide to hang around. Fire away with the questions, there's loads of people ready to answer them! Even if only with "wow, good question"
Bye, Bill?

Hello, World,
Just joined - looking to learn from the forum, hoping to occasionally contribute. Don't know who the oldest is on the forum, but I can probably test him - 73 here. Went through a technical college, was a EE. Retired now (obviously), member of the Los Angeles Astronomical Society. Finally finished my 6" dob, which I started when I was 16 (and stopped working on after a couple of months - didn't touch it again until a few years ago), and the dang thing works! Glad to be here!
Order of Kilopi
welcome techist.
Merry Christmas and happy new year to all.

I may not be the oldest, but I've got you by 2 years, 9/20/1934. I have a couple of aunts and a female cousin who are older, but I'm not only the oldest male, but the oldest male ever in my father's family. I think I must have inherited a longelevity gene from Mom's side; my gggrandfather has fathering children at my age!
Anyhow, welcome to the board, maybe we can teach these whippersnappers something. How about reviving the phlogiston theory?

I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I just want to say hi to everybody. I'm writting from Mexico. I have a Website where I show a theory about the origin of the Universe. "The Big Ray Theory". In it you will find an answer to at least six major mysteries of the Universe. 1.- The differential rotation problem 2.- The cosmic filaments 3.- The galactic halo riddle 4.- The incongruent age of the Universe. etc.
I hope you like it

I am from Louisville Ky.
my question is this
if m=(6.63x10^.34)/(400x10^.9x3x10^8)=5.525x10^.36
then would I have to figure out the equation fo every frequancy between
700nm to 400nm to figure out the weight of an entire photon or what would be the best way to get at the relative weight of a full spectrum photon
then my second question would be
if the ratio is 5000 to 1 to get an anti-photon
or is this just the ratio at which they are able to contain the anti-photon
would the weight of an anti-photon have the same relative mass of a photon
and if we took for example the relative mass of the above listed photon @ 400nm and combined it with its anti counterpart.
what would the ammount of energy be if
photon 5.525x10^.36 x an anti-photon 5.525x10^.36 since they would both give up 100% of their mass of relative mass as energy.
if this photon of visable light @400nm is in the violet what would be the color of its anti-photon? would it be inverced?
Order of Kilopi
There is no anti-photon distinct from a photon, they're all the same apart from frequency.
And could you please use units in your calculations? They are meaningless without them.

Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself.
My name is Robert I'm 34 and live in West central Fla. Dental Technician
(by force) <--- Because it pays the bills Hhahah
I have messed around with a few Store bought scopes (Gifts as a child)
looked at the moon, star clusters, planets.. But i wanted more.
So. I bought myself a Celestron XLT 120 for christmas. I love it.. My first look was at M42,that was awesome.(small tear)Unfortunately it has been overcast ever since that night a few days ago.
I have been looking at these Pics you all are taking and i Must say. WOW!, Beautiful, I would love to do something like that.
Im looking forward to chatting with everyone, picking brains and sharing info.
Cya around the forums

Ok, quick introduction.
My name is Denitsa and I'm doing my phd on theoretical astrophysics in Sofia University. I have many interests but if you want to find them out, check my blogs.
I don't like particularly forums, because of the moderation, which is very annoying and often unnerving , but this forum looks interesting, so I'll try to keep out of trouble and just have fun reading it. Nice to meet you, all.

Welcome to the board.

hi all I am an 47 yr engineer/artist with an interested in what might be possible, if the constraints , our present engineering, concepts are removed , and pure artistic theory .is explored
as to the nature of the universe and travel within it maybe achieved
look forward to chatting
