This is the only soul collector you have to worry about !

Hail Cthulhu and his High Priest

Every indicator is pointing to it. Technological development over the last 20 years has proven to be exponential as Von Neumann predicted and there seems to be no reason for it to slow down. If it doesn't, then the Singularity will occur around 2045 with the advent of superintelligence.

i just see the renewable energy part a hard sell atm

So far it's been Braindead Air.

HEY ASC.....HIT IT!!

Do they have observ'ns from sites remote enough to triangulate with a significant base?  That's the only way I could see of determining the distance of a non-emitting object.

Since all observations have been made from earth, the only differential is our orbit around the sun. In relation to 1500 light years, that is stationary over a 4 year period.

i just tried to use my tv remote to mute my computer..yay

I missed the open. Exactly what type of "Doctor" is this dude?

[coaster]

So his only evidence is dust and scratches. Open lines please.

Good evening you gaggle of Gabsters

Seth is the last person on the planet that wants to confirm alien life, yet he's in charge of searching for alien life... Well done SETI saboteurs.

Last person that wants to confirm alien life found by anyone but him...but I'm sure when he tries to get funding for his project he is full of sly winks and nods.

Tried to figure that out earlier, as well as what university conferred the degree.

Is the translational motion of the object known?  How?  AFAIK the only way they have of detecting it is its occult'n of a single star, and from that you can't get whether it's rotation or xlation.

Kepler observed the transits several times over a long period of time, so if it's an object in the foreground its motion through space should have produced differences in the light curve. From what I know, it did not.

STRUCTURE? Am I listening RCH OSOM?

Since all observations have been made from earth, the only differential is our orbit around the sun. In relation to 1500 light years, that is stationary over a 4 year period.

It's an insignificant base relative to the altitude of the star.  But it could be a significant base relative to an interposed object.  The question is whether there's a reasonable size possible for a solid object with the occulting characteristics seen at a distance short enough to make the Earth's revolutionary base relatively significant.

Come on Art. Its dust. I can't believe Art is so floored by two stupid pictures.

According to Facebook, it's Southwest MO State Univeristy. What's the degree in? No clue.

[Daggit]

Oh Art. Say it aint so? You aren't just buying the Orb bullshit. You're lapping it up.

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

I sold mine for a doughnut. Fortunately my neighborino didn't know I'd already promised it to my wife Marge when I married her.

LOL

[TigerLily]

Structures...as in archeology? Help. I'm having a flashback

[Q-Pi]

Dead Air is kind of taken, but maybe Downtown Deb would be psyched to have the shout-out... Is the Venn intersection of Deadheads and Bellheads really so small that no one has mentioned it?

By the way, here's a picture of the mysterious ghost footprint my brother discovered the other day that I mentioned on here.

Lockheed-Martin will produce a working compact fusion reactor prototype within five years, and production will begin in ten. That's actually an indicator of the Singularity in and of itself, governments spent all that money building ITER but exponential technological advancement moved faster than government and it will become superfluous before it is ever completed.

I found his degree.

Oh, didn't look at his Facebook page, just the two websites listed on Art's site.  Thanks!

Listening live on KABC...no 1 hour delay. But the regular KABC listeners missed Arts welcome message and the show just went right into the guest, no lead in or segue or re-introduction of the guest or anything. And didn't the show start tonight with The Chase? The KABC show started with Laura Brannigan's Self Control. Kinda weird. Otherwise, GREAT to hear Art in L.A. on terrestrial radio once again. Cheers!
