Irrelevant. Picking and choosing the distance yardstick you use
for comparison doesn't make the star any closer.
It's not picking and choosing, the galaxy is a lot bigger than 90 light
years, a lot bigger, and so 90 light years represents a small area
within
that space.
90 light years is not a "small" space by any human measure.
Especially not in light of the fact that no human has ever been
more than 250,000 miles away from home, and that even making the
4.3 light year trip to the nearest star is not only beyond our
abilities, but may remain so forever.
You are really going to make me explain the obvious at length, aren't you.
Ok... this tactic doesn't work long,
Since when is reality a "tactic?" Man, you are really starting to
sound like one crazy, old, kook.
once you realize I am always willing to
take the time to give a 2 paragraph answer to a 3 word answer question. Here
goes, Bucko...
Correction: A
*long winded*, crazy, old, kook.
"The galaxy is big. It's really big. I mean, you think it big, but it's even
bigger than that." Oops, that's Hitchiker's Guide, haha.
What were you saying about tactics? The #1 kook tactic is to cite
science fiction sources. You just joined the likes of Harold Ensle
who thinks "Forbidden Planet" was a documentary, and Ray "Crop
Circle" Richey who thinks "Mr. Spock" was a real person and cites
him often.
Whadda bunch of silly retards you are.
Obviously, as
anyone who wasn't playing games would know by now, I am saying that two
stars seperated by 90 light years in this galaxy are close too each other on
that galactic scale.
Which is irrelevant. On the human scale it is still just as
impossibly far away. Like I said before, picking and choosing your
yardstick doesn't make the star any closer.
Everyone reading this except you understands this
already, but let's make sure you finally have it. In this vast area, 90
light years is a tiny little dash, a speck really.
Well then "dash" yourself over there, take a good look around, and
then come back and give us a report. We'll wait.

Hey, Kang. I thought you said you'd only spew on for 2 paragraphs
to answer a simple question? Looks like you lied.
Sometimes debunkers have problems with the most simple concepts.
Actually we just have problems with simple people like you.
You have no idea how accurate that statement is.
Actually I do. That's why I wrote it, moron.
Actually, this is what I read in his post, clipped right from it:
"What's more, the new planet has a circular orbit like Jupiter,
sits a Jupiter-like distance from its star, HD70642, and has no
bigger planets between it and the star, just like Jupiter."
That seems to say it sit's a Jupiter-like distance from it's star, not
mars,
you know, exactly what you had been asking for...
Ok, If you want to just keep repeating the same erroneous claim
over and over again as if that will somehow make it true, then you
are clearly too stupid for me to bother wasting any more of my
time on you. Hint: Have you looked at any of the other press
releases on this discovery? No? Thought not. You may want to
before you further destroy whatever little credibility you may
think you have.
Repeating what?
Do you suffer from Alzheimer's or something?
That was the first time I clipped that and showed it too
you. It's what we have been discussing all along. And no, I haven't, I am
here in this newsgroup, I'm not following every news outlet and keeping up
with every scientific jounral
No wonder you are so full of silly notions.
as your kind likes to constantly demand.
Apparently you believe you have told me something that you have never told
me, all you've done is rant and rave like a lunatic so far, and pick minor
issues too turn into major ones.
The devil is in the details. If you can't even get the details
right, then why should anyone expect you to be correct about the
important stuff?
Nothing new, really. And my credibility is
a little bit more well-established around here than you imagine...
You are the one doing the imagining, kook. You have no credibility.
I
certainly don't have to worry about an aggressive, abusive, name calling
Raving Lunatic
Hey, let's leave Roberta out of this.
like you damaging it.
Is it possible to damage that which does not exist?
--- Flush remainder of clueless idiocy and empty bluster ---
You mean clip almost everything I wrote because you had no response.
No, I clipped it because it was not
*worthy* of a response from
me. HTH.
Here's another hint son, you won't get far in the world by denying
that the largest man-made object on Earth exists. Buy, rent,
borrow or steal a clue.
I deny nothing,
Further denial noted.
in fact, there is nobody with a more sincere desire to find
evidence for that wall.
Maybe we could all chip in and take up a collection to send you to
China (one-way of course).
But there hasn't been any so far.
No evidence for the Great Wall showing up in the UFO NGs? Wow,
imagine that. But then UFO kooks are known for not having any
evidence whatsoever about anything.
You, apparently,
take it's existance on faith.
Yeah, the same way I have "faith" in gravity.
There can be no other explination, since you
insist it exsists and yet are unwilling to provide any evidence for that
extraordinary claim.
A wall is not an extraordinary claim. The planet is covered with
walls. Show me even one extraterrestrial. Thanks in advance.
Keep running, Bucko.
Running circles around kooks like you.
