And circumlocution and other revolutionary strings are not digressing ;- string has always been a round. Have you looked lately - space around us is hairless Are we approaching black holiness ? R2 |

| 217978 | 2004-02-28 21:03:00 | Close, but no cigar Winston.:D The theory behind the dictum "A Black Hole has no hair" is an essential factor in determining the perceived length of a piece of string at the event horizon of a Black Hole. Consider this conundrum from the perspective of a very long but finite length of string passing through the event horizon. Cheers Billy 8-{) :) I have tried, and managed to get part-way down the string but then my brain expl%*#oded and now I have big&*%ger pro)*@#blems to sol#@&*^!ve. |

Why does the red cow give white milk when its always eating green grass? At the moment there does not appear to be a lot of grass. Cows are eating Maize and other silage. Why is milk from a woman white in colour considering what some women eat? :2cents: As to the peice of string It appears to me to be twice as long as half its length. If the string gets to Warp 5 it is unlikely you will see it. |

Yes, I just went back and reread the whole thing... life was so much simpler then. My burning question is: To hell with the string disappearing like a snake down a drainpipe, where did all those people go? |
