Is it the same as an MB ?
And why does it "exist", we need to know.

The speed of light does seem rather slow, cosmically speaking. I mean, compared with the distances etc such a slow thing as light seems, well, out of place somehow.
Perhaps soon we will discover a new "light" that runs at a faster speed, this will open up all sorts of comms and travel opprtunities, and have the happy by-product of driving the maths guys potless.
It is the duty of science to keep an open mind, you can't just say that somenting can not exist or be, you have to seek and then observe.
Ok then who's up for it, etc
"Barack Obama on Friday issued an order revoking a Chinese company's purchase of four wind farm projects in the United States citing national security concern."
If the US thinks wind farms are a national security concern then something has gone badly wrong in their heads, and it could now be "that time"
Rubbish - take a look at photographer not a terrorist website for info about what you vcan and can't do in the street also big brother watch
Google streetview blurs number plates because they were asked to by the plod, and blurs street name plates because the software can't tell the difference, while telling you the street name in text on the screen (doh !!) and not because it's an invasion of anyone's privacy.
I still don't understand though, why the BBC blurs plates on the news, any criminal wanting a plate number only has to look out of the window surely ...
Have you seen the "view from the road" pics, it was on the BBC website. They used some google/streetview stuff and an actual pic. From that bend in the road you can see directly to the balcony, no ladders needed, no hedges to poke through at all. Since it's not illegal to take pictures from the public road, what's all the fuss about "illegal pictures" get a grip thate's real life going on outside this bubble
How does that work ? It takes energy to drive accelaration, and all energy that exists, was present at the big bang. So where does this extra energy come from that drives the acceleration ? If anything I'd expect things to slow down eventually, like a firework exploding in the sky does. I'm not convinced about this.
"It was 450 million years old when the light used to produce this picture was emitted, therefore in the picture it is 450 million years old"
So how old is it now then ? Assuming it still exists. We can't tell, since the only image we have of it is from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away (etc)
In order to preserve the contents this would have to be frozen, otherwise it would decay. Does this person have a freezer full of these things back home, all carefully labelled of course. In case they are needed sometime in the future. What kind of mental acse does that ? Sheesh.
Oh wait, CIA agent (allegedly) ...........
Why does a country that is 3,000 miles from anywhere feel the need to spend* more on "defense" that the rest of the world put together, and then some ? Yet at the same time they manage to spare a few (relative) coppers to produce this amazing stuff. A place of paradoxes for sure.
* yes I know it's because it's an "industry" and they don't know any better what to do with their time/money ... there's the rub
