It's questions for Neil Degrasse Tyson, everyone, and it's Juan's favourite question.

Totally agree. This woman really sounds like she believes what she is saying. The detail and frank nature of her talk is played perfectly with Art's questions.

Because peasant, that's why. My gf demanded this damn laptop. We do have a Windows laptop, but it is for "work"...

If a woman demands anything find another woman.
If you need any other relationship advice from Barfly dont hesitate to ask

Yes, but you have to wear special ear buds

It's best to use protection.

"Who were you and what happened?" she is a spirit medium it seems.

We are all just so f'g great. I am laughing so hard, right now. Herding cats would be easy compared to this. You know what, I think I am going back to my favorite Martian (book).
Love you crazy guys and gals so much. Hugs and Kisses. Sweet dreams

Sweet Dreams Sister Tiger.
Shall we designate "Herding Cats" to mean moving to this thread ?

If you are indeed a ghost, don't you have the time to go into detail about how you die? Is time an issue?

More interesting stuff about the strange star KIC 8462852
from http://www.popsci.com/have-we-detected-alien-megastructures-around-distant-star...

To find out what's behind the star's mysterious dimming behavior, Wright and his colleagues want to listen in with the Green Bank telescope in West Virginia. They're hoping to spend a few hours listening for modulated radio waves that could indicate the presence of intelligent lifeforms.

"If we hear narrow-band modulated radio emissions coming from that star, I can't imagine any other explanation," says Wright. "Nature doesn't do that, it would have to be artificial."

If the team detects an interesting radio signature around the star, the next step would be to try to tune in with the Very Large Array in New Mexico. While the Green Bank telescope can reveal whether special radio waves are coming from the general area of the star, the VLA could tell the astronomers whether the waves are coming from the star itself.

"It's the best SETI target I've ever seen or heard of," says Wright.
