MTBeer Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I love this stuff! Quite a big deal this, the merging of two neutron stars, and the first time light has been detected from a gravitational-wave event. https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-missions-catch-first-light-from-a-gravitational-wave-event Incredible to think that the gold or platinum in your ring/watch came from such events.looking back in time as well. Happened 130 million years ago. Piston ZA and DJR 2
Piston ZA Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 looking back in time as well. Happened 130 million years ago.Another nice article on it http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/10/16/557557544/astronomers-strike-gravitational-gold-in-colliding-neutron-stars According to his estimates, this neutron star collision produced around 200 Earth masses of pure gold, and maybe 500 Earth masses of platinum. "It's a ridiculously huge amount on human scales," Kasen says. He personally has a platinum wedding ring and notes that "it's crazy to think that these things that seem very far out and kind of exotic actually impact the world and us in kind of intimate ways."

Eldron Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 ... Fixie/cycle courier culture is pretty cool - I just don't get the "check me smash through traffic and people on a brakeless bike" bit. That said - it was a well made video! I dig the local vibe and downtown jhb feel. Long Wheel Base, Bateleur1 and Hairy 3

I see there was a motorbiker mentioned in the credits. I would say he is braver than the cyclist :-) Bateleur1 and Long Wheel Base 2
Bateleur1 Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I see there was a motorbiker mentioned in the credits. I would say he is braver than the cyclist :-) My vote for bravest goes to the cameraman. Trusting your life to a hooligan on a motorbike chasing a hooligan on a bike and still filming all of it.

Long Wheel Base Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 much better with the sound OFFWith all the dodge(well lekker actually) videos I receive on whatsapp my sound is always OFF.
