New Member - heilkitty & escaping matter...

06 October, 2008 16:48 CST6CDT

Welcome to our team heilkitty!  Make yourself comfortable here, you are among friends.

Getting a hold of David Hamer (or his voicemail) is quite like escaping black hole matter - it's not going to happen anytime soon.  However, would anyone be interested in starting a thread for: questions to ask department representatives and employees at the EINSTEIN@HOME project?

If we can come up with 4 or 5 tantalizing questions that are hanging on the minds of our team, I will make certain they are addressed.  So, go ahead, post a comment, and I will compile and submit them to the appropriate employees and contributors.

Happy crunching!

For those of you wondering what the EINSTEIN@HOME Project is:

Einstein@Home is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational wave detector. It also searches for radio pulsars in binary systems, using data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Einstein@Home is a World Year of Physics 2005 and an International Year of Astronomy 2009 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.

My name is Andy Wright - the founder, but really the creator of Team FreeBSD. If you want me to add any links, or have any questions or inclinations for such things related to our group (or to just say hi) - send me an e-mail: einstein@extracted.org or Skype name: extracted

''It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure'' -- Albert Einstein
