Good Morning,
I found an interesting article this morning about the
10 impossibilities conquered by science. Here is a link if
you want to take a look...

Computer simulates merger of 3 black holes
U.S. astrophysicists say they have, for the first time, used
a supercomputer to simulate the merger of three black holes.
Manuela Campanelli, Professor Carlos Lousto and Assistant Professor
Yosef Zlochower -- scientists at the Rochester Institute of
Technology's Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation --
simulated triplet black holes to test their breakthrough method
that, in 2005, simulated the merger of two black holes by
following Einstein's theory of general relativity. They said
their new simulation of multiple black holes evolving, orbiting
and eventually colliding confirmed a robust computer code free
of limitations. "We discovered rich dynamics leading to very
elliptical orbits, complicated orbital dynamics, simultaneous
triple mergers and complex gravitational wave forms that might
be observed by gravitational wave detectors …," Lousto said.
"These simulations are timely because a triple quasar was
recently discovered by a team led by Caltech astronomer
George Djorgovski. This presumably represents the first
observed supermassive black hole triplet." The study is to be
published in the May issue of the journal Physical Review D.

Texas laser said to be world's strongest
The University of Texas at Austin says its Texas Petawatt laser
reached more than one petawatt of power last month, making it
Earth's most powerful laser. A petawatt is one quadrillion
watts. Physicist Todd Ditmire, who directs the Texas Petawatt
project, said the laser is the only operating petawatt laser
in the United States. Ditmire said the laser has a power output
more than 2,000 times the strength of all power plants in the
United States. The laser is brighter than sunlight on the
surface of the sun, but it only lasts for a 10th of a trillionth
of a second. The laser will be used to create and study matter
at some of the most extreme conditions in the universe, including
gases at temperatures greater than those in the sun and solids
at pressures of many billions of atmospheres, researchers said.
The Texas Petawatt Laser was funded by the National Nuclear
Security Administration, an agency within the U. S. Department
of Energy.

Rocket that will launch GLAST is assembled
The U.S. space agency says the Delta II 7920-H rocket that will
launch the Gamma-ray Large Area Telescope satellite is in the
process of being assembled. The rocket is now on Launch Pad
17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, where
solid rocket boosters were recently attached to the rocket.
A series of nine strap-on solid rocket motors will next be
mated with the rocket to help power the first stage. Officials
said the boosters are larger than those used on the standard
Delta configuration. "The Delta II is one of our most reliable
launch vehicles," said Rick Harnden, the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration's GLAST program scientist. "However,
we'll be breathing a lot easier once GLAST has been lofted
successfully into orbit." GLAST is scheduled for launch from
the Cape Canaveral Air Station May 16 between 11:45 a.m. and
1:40 p.m. The powerful new space observatory will, among other
things, search the universe for signs of new laws of physics.
NASA's GLAST mission is an astrophysics and particle physics
partnership, developed in collaboration academic institutions
and partners in France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden, and the
United States.
