Originally posted by bling bling The cosmic web – the distribution of matter on the largest scales in the universe – has usually been defined through the distribution of galaxies. Now, a new study by a team of astronomers from France, Israel and Hawaii demonstrates a novel approach. Instead of using galaxy positions, they mapped the motions of thousands of galaxies. Because galaxies are pulled toward gravitational attractors and move away from empty regions, these motions allowed the team to locate the denser matter in clusters and filaments and the absence of matter in regions called voids.
Matter was distributed almost homogeneously in the very early universe, with only miniscule variations in density. Over the 14-billion-year history of the universe, gravity has been acting to pull matter together in some places and leave other places more and more empty. Today, the matter forms a network of knots and connecting filaments referred to as the cosmic web. Most of this matter is in a mysterious form, the so-called "dark matter." Galaxies have formed at the highest concentrations of matter and act as lighthouses illuminating the underlying cosmic structure.
The newly defined cosmic velocity web defines the structure of the universe from velocity information alone. In those regions with abundant observations, the structure of the velocity web and the web inferred from the locations of the galaxy lighthouses are similar. This agreement provides strong confirmation of the fundamental idea that structure developed from the growth of initially tiny fluctuations through gravitational attraction.
The cosmic velocity web analysis was led by Daniel Pomarede, Atomic Energy Center, France, with the collaboration of Helene Courtois at the University of Lyon, France; Yehuda Hoffman at the Hebrew University, Israel; and Brent Tully at the University of Hawai'i's Institute for Astronomy.
"With the motions of the galaxies, we can infer where all of the mass is located: the galaxies and the 5 times more abundant transparent matter (usually wrongly called dark matter). This total gravitating mass, together with the expansion of the universe, is responsible for the motions that create the architecture of the universe. The gravity from galaxies alone cannot create this network we see," said Dr. Courtois.
Dr. Tully adds, "Moreover, a wide swath of the universe is hidden behind the obscuring disk of our own Milky Way galaxy. Our reconstruction of structure with the velocity web is revealing for the first time filaments of matter that stretch all the way around the sky and are easily followed through these regions of obscuration."
This definition of the cosmic velocity web was made possible by the large and coherent collection of galaxy distances and velocities in the Cosmicflows series. The current analysis is based on a study of 8,000 galaxies in the second release of Cosmicflows. The third release, with over twice as many galaxy distances and velocities is already available, and will reveal the cosmic velocity web in increasingly rich detail.
The key element of the program is the acquisition of good distances to galaxies. Several methods are used, such as exploiting the known luminosities of old stars that are just beginning to burn Helium in their cores, and the relationship between the rotation speed of galaxies and the number of stars they possess. The observations have involved dozens of telescopes around the world and in space and at wavelengths from visible light through the infrared to radio.
"The velocity web method for mapping the cosmos is analogous to using plate tectonics in geology. It helps understand not just the current layout of the universe, but also the movement of the invisible underlying masses responsible for that topology," said Dr. Courtois.
The team has produced an extensive video demonstrating the cosmic velocity web. It first explains the concepts underlying the cosmic velocity web reconstruction, followed by a description of its major elements. The video then shows how cosmic flows are organized within its structure, and how the basin of attraction of the recently mapped Laniakea Supercluster resides within its elements. In the final sequence, the viewer enters an immersive exploration of the filamentary structure of the local universe, navigating inside the filaments and visiting the major nodes such as the Great Attractor. The 11-minute video is linked below and available at https://vimeo.com/pomarede/vweb.
The 3-dimensional map can also be explored in an interactive visualization, using the free online Sketchfab platform. This is a powerful tool to visualize interactively the structure from any viewpoint and compare it with the distribution of galaxies; one can dive inside the filaments and explore them in immersion. With appropriate virtual reality hardware, it can also be used in VR mode. This visualization marks a milestone as the first time such an interactive dataset will be embedded in the online version of the scientific article appearing in the Astrophysical Journal. Everyone is invited to interact with the data below, or at https://skfb.ly/667Jr.
The team of researchers includes Yehuda Hoffman, Hebrew University's Racah Institute of Physics, Daniel Pomarède, Institut de Recherche sur les Lois Fondamentales de l'Univers, CEA, Université Paris-Saclay, Gif-sur-Yvette, France; R. Brent Tully, Institute for Astronomy (IfA), University of Hawaii, USA; and Hélène M. Courtois, University of Lyon 1, France.
The work appears in the August 10, 2017 issue of the Astrophysical Journal and can be found online here.

How many of those words did you recognise -

Yes exogenous testosterone is going to have an infinitely larger impact than natural ways, but if you feel a kit better at your natural baseline then why bother pinning and fucking with the huge amount of management involved.
Start lifting weights and and running again. Add more fat into your diet. Remove shitty foods as well. Supplement vitamin d and zinc and magnesium. Do this for at least a month and if you still feel like shit, then get your levels tested. -

A few shitty lightbulbs will occasionally flicker on for a second or two so the patrons don't feel like they're completely being left in the dark.

Every place i go to like that, the servers are stoned as fuck and always dumb and cant answer questions so im sure its an easy hiring process. Youve cut your hair though so you probably hurt your chances a bit

Originally posted by LegalizeSpiritualDiscovery I got a job interview tomorrow. I'm getting my hair cut beforehand. Gonna cut it short again. Been a few years. Shit is such an annoying hassle. I'm gonna miss the long hair, and I think I look better with it, but people do look at you differently especially in Texas, and I might be working in food service, so it'll be better and easier to get a job if I have it short.
Fuccckkkking rip to that glorious mane. Gotta do what you must, though. -

Ive only had one batch of ket and Im unsure how it stacks up to the stuff they get in the UK or NL. Was still great experience though and cant wait to acquire more. I wish mxe was still around though.

Originally posted by reject I don't even watch football anymore cos I find it so fucking boring. Like the Liverpool - Utd game yesterday, watched 5 minutes and knew it was going to be a snoozefest
Ya. The modern game seems to favor defensive play and over emphasize the counter attack. Leicester of all teams wons the premier league with this tactic (overjoyed for them btw not mad). Hopefully its just a trend in coaching and not a permanant shift in consciousnezz.
