Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

Ask Ethan: Can Gravitational Waves Let Us Peek Inside A Black Hole? (Synopsis)
"Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain." -Joseph Campbell One of the cardinal rules of a black hole is that anything that falls inside the event horizon -- that crosses that invisible boundary -- can never escape. That's because the escape velocity from inside the event horizon is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum, c, a speed that nothing in this…
Messier Monday: A Dusty Open Cluster for Everyone, M25

The sun is but a morning star." -Henry David Thoreau Welcome to another Messier Monday here on Starts With A Bang!
