My Church

Sun, 19 May 2013 03:42:55 -0400

Do you know when you are CERTAIN your church isn’t right for you?

It is when you DREAD going to it.

I swear I am invisible there. I’ve been there for over a decade every since it was a little fetus of a church and now they closed off any sense of “belonging” regarding an individual called myself. Maybe it’s time for some change in venue. This one is slowly becoming a replica of my high school.

Coming Home

It’s been a week since I came back from College. The days move so slow as I tried to browse through all the TV shows I’ve ever wanted to watch during the school year. I started with the continuation of Game of Thrones, then moved on to over-excessive dose of Family Guy, Futurama, Drawn Together, and some random TLC shows.

Upon a week of doing this coupled with outings that consisted of no productivity and a use of money I finally decided I’m sick of leisure days. I devoted myself to cleaning, then some books, and now I’ve finally given up trying to stay “as free and unproductive as possible” it’s killing me.

So at 12:37AM I packed for my trip to Vietnam, Korea, and my return to School in North Carolina, cleaned my Kitchen from top to bottom, and decided to download a whole bunch of Vietnamese podcasts and piled about eight books on top of each other (the bible included) to read. And FINALLY I am happy with myself.

And now I am beginning to wonder if I have a minor case of OCD since anything crooked within my sight bothers me, but heck, I only know the colloquial gist of OCD so maybe I am stating something totally wrong.

This is funnier than it should be.

I am actually LOLing like a mad thing. And my cat is giving me funny looks, like, “Mum, have you finally gone insane?”

When Supermassive Supergiants Go Superboom

Article by Phil Plait via Slate

I have long been fascinated by gamma-ray bursts (or GRBs). These are incredibly violent events: It’s like taking the Sun’s entire lifetime energy output and cramming into a single event that lasts for mere seconds! The energy emitted is so intense, so bright, we can see GRBs from a distance of billions of light years.

Gamma rays themselves are just a form of light, like the kind we see, but with huge energy; each photon is packed with millions or billions of times the energy in a single photon of visible light. Only the most energetic events in the Universe can make them, so if we detect a burst of them coming from the sky, we know something literally disastrous has happened.

We know GRBs come in many flavors. Some last literally for milliseconds, while others stretch on for minutes. We also know different events can cause them, too. Short ones seem to come from merging neutron stars, ultra dense compact objects left over after stars explode. The longer ones occur when massive stars explode, leaving their cores to collapse. In both cases, the huge blast of high-energy gamma rays signals the birth of a black hole.

But astronomers were recently surprised to find a third type of GRB, one that lasts not for minutes, but for hours. Whatever these objects are, they don’t just flash with light, they linger, blasting out far, far more gamma rays for far, far longer than was previously thought. What could do such a thing?

Several ideas were put forth, but new observations provided the linchpin: an ultra-long-duration GRB occurred on Christmas Day in 2010, and its distance was found to be a soul-crushing 7 billion light years away, about halfway across the visible Universe! This left only one possible candidate for the progenitor: a hugely massive star, one so big it dwarfs the Sun into insignificance.
