Actually I take that back.

After looking in: [img]http://homepage.mac.com/pauljlucas/personal/books/covers/brief_history_of_time.jpg[/img]

I found Stephen Hawking quoted "One second after the big bang, it would have fallen to about ten thousand million degrees [10 billion]. This is about a thousand times the temperature than the center of the sun, but temperatures as high as this are reached in H-bomb explosions." (117)

Just in case you have a copy of this book laying around here is a Works Cited:

Hawking, Stephen. A Brief History of Time: From The Big Bang to Black Holes. New York: Bantam Books. 1988.


I knew I saw this somewhere.

using spectrography or whatever its called. you use a spectrograph hooked up to a telescope to measure its wavelength on the spectrum. (gamma rays, x rays, radio waves, visible light) these are all light sources. the only difference is we can only see a narrow band of it.

take a picture of the stars spectra. analyze it. different colour stars have different temps. If the spectra analysis shows the majority of light being given off is gamma or x rays, the star is reall hot. this would show up as blue to us. if a star gives off a lower frequency, it will be red. these are dwarf stars and are not hot enough to produce large amounts of energy.

thats my really confusing shitty way of explaining it.

i had one of those, or something that looked really close to it. my dad used to go on business trips in china and would get me all sorts of crazy asian stuff. he got me this one thing that you plug into a sega genesis and you can copy games onto a floppy disc. it was tight, but then we had to sell it to our friends who got robbed and lost a lot of stuff for $50..canadian.

An interesting story that my grandma told me about my grandpa is that he was pretty religious before WWII, but after seeing some things just as a SEABEE in the Pacific he really stopped believing that God did not exist. Than came the Cold War, and he really suddenly became religious and going to church to pray. Pretttty weird stuff. It'll make you go fuckied. stupid:

They don't care if there are arabs in it. The terrorist are extreme radicalist and they believe even if innocent people die it will be for the better cause and God's will. See even in Iraq they kill arabs.
