Celestia Forums

I think Malenfant has recently been doing an excellent job trying to help some new posters to a more profitable way of posting. I crited only two of his posts. Also he effectively helps to avoid that some post all that big nonsense in the Astronomy & Physics board... Yes he does, so do I. Me >(...

Has it escaped your attention that I only criticize others who, themselves criticize others ? Bravo! I admire someone who, as a matter or principle, always criticizes themselves when criticizing others. I was going to criticize only those forum members who do not criticize themselves, but I gave up...

Meanwhile, you've again resurrected a thread for no apparent reason, I did not resurect it, I visited the forum again and saw that he was again spending his valuable time doing nothing usfull ( sauce and ganders ??) so I replied.. And you are not continuing the resurection I suppose ? Ha! just appr...

Almost all your contributions to this forum consist of this sort of unproductive rhetorics, be it directed against me or Malenfant Has it escaped your attention that I only criticize others who, themselves criticize others ? Think about all the other folk here present with whom I have no issue. How...

*knocks on glass* Hellooooooooooo? Anyone home? I'm sure SOMEONE had a celestia dream! Yep. That the master will return. That Chris will reappear one day and rescue us from the wilderness and guide us back to the promised land hmm, now which emoticon should I append to this !?! The master doesn't e...

I see no particular harm in having Celestia display ditances in miles if that is what users want. Until then, people who want miles can easily use a calculator to work out the conversions. Here's a simple conversion tip. The conversion between miles and kilometres (1.609344) is close to the Golden ...

The subject on this thread was addressed four days ago, why exactly did you feel the need to poke me with patronising comments that added no real content? patronising ? Well you are the authority ! No, four days is explained by the fact that (A) I dont live my life here (B)More relevant : my pal BT...

First, a subject line that just says "ATTENTION" is really annoying. Please don't do that in future. <condesention warning> Prescribe tranquiliser pill, else leave it to the moderator ol'chap (You said elsewhere : "What exactly is VSOP87 anyway?" - - - you really have not been paying attention in p...

Just for info - I'm British, and over 30 (I leave it to the reader to decide whether that's "young" or "old"). I grew up with an unholy mix of units - I basically go millimetre, inch, foot, metre (roughly = yard), kilometre, mile from smallest to biggest. But I prefer using the metric ones by far (...

Dreamofgilgamesh said > " I'm English, and old, and i don't like Kilometers any more than i like Kilograms, nasty foreign inventions. Any chance that in a future version you could add the option to read distances in good old Miles? " Malenfant said > "They may be "nasty foreign inventions" to you, b...

Hey, here I am! Ah, so you are, I might have guessed ! You spit your poison at the wrong guy... Nope, just added one more. Anyways, I thought you needed a rest from me ! :wink: But seems that you may be feeling neglected ! So, did you not fathom danielj's meaning either ? Unlike you, ElChristou has...

Bose-Einstein condensate is one way,
in 1999 17 m/s by Hau, Harris, Dutton, and Behroozi.
Others since then have slowed it even further. 1 cm/s I think in 2004, not sure what the latest state of play is.

I have no idea why, but I had the urge to ask a question completely unrelated to Celestia. ->> How did the "Hot Dog" acquire its name ?
