A brief discussion of the Gould belt and the art of massive expansion

I feel horribly off balance.

Commercial bananas are produced asexually as a cross between two plants through plant clippings and if the current line dies out, we may lose bananas altogether”


makes me go ‘what the hell you talking about, mister?’

but

For example, why don’t we see a blue shift from binary stars, since half the time the mass exchange between stars is such that the mass is approaching us? In the case of the Gould belt, how can an expansion take place only in two dimensions? Why don’t we observe the K effect coming from either of the double expansions that would make the Olano model compatible with observations? Why is the redshift of early-type stars in clusters always positive? How can the solar limb be redshifted?


makes me go ‘you have some pretty good points but I’m not quite sure that all of the data you’re excluding is extraneous.’

I really am horribly off balance. But man, I am geeking all over astronomy and I love it. Dude, the Gould belt? It’s awesome as hell to think about. It really is an anomaly in space and some say that if we can figure it out, we’ll be able to figure out how other things in our galaxy, or even the universe, were born. For a long time, astronomy thought it was an isolated anomaly but now we’re finding out data to support the theory that this exists in every galaxy, just as we’re now seeing that all galaxies have a supermassive black hole in the middle (and we’ve found a couple of galaxies that have two!).

The observable data doesn’t help us figure it out yet. We don’t even know what it is. It could be a giant ring of gas holding stars, or it could just be a ring of stars. It could also be something that was created when dark matter collided with our molecular cloud. Some think that the Gould belt hit a bunch of newborn stars when it was expanding and created stars that grew too fast, lived too fast and created amazing deaths for themselves. Then that there may have been a second event like this.

There’s one problem with that theory though, which is that our own Sun can be found within the Gould belt - either as within the center of the ring, or buried in the ring’s matter. So what, exactly, does that say for us in particular?

Whether it’s moving stars around, aggravating them or merely holding them is a puzzle we’ve never solved. I want to see if anyone’s ever tried comparing the behaviors and mass we interpret it to the same factors for a compact star. A compact star has a large mass and a small radius. What this translates to is that it’s a lot of star in a very small space. If you can imagine a crumb actually weighing about two pounds but not looking any bigger than another crumb, then you’ve got it. So if the Gould belt’s expansion may be limited in dimensions, then we’re taking the same rules and applying it to a different kind of space.

Non Doppler Redshift of Some Galactic Objects’ (Paul Marmet) has this to say:

Olano and Lindblad et al. have considered a model of a local gas ring related to the Gould belt.  Lindblad believes that not only stars, but also the local gas, form an elliptical expanding ring roughly coincident with the Gould belt.  He considers that the expanding ring of gas of the Gould belt is decelerated by the dragging action of the surrounding galactic gas.  It is assumed that the gaseous galactic disk has a constant thickness and density of gas.  The gas of the Gould belt is arbitrarily assumed to have the shape of an expanding “tube” of gas and that the Sun is located “in the vacuum enclosed by the tube.”  Surprisingly, the height of the tube is considered to remain constant during the expansion (two-dimensional expansion) and is always centered and perpendicular to the galactic plane.  It is assumed that this gas motion acts as a “snowplow model” and sweeps the galactic gas in its path.

In this, the Gould belt is a tube with a stagnant space, while what it contains expands dramatically. Doesn’t that sound familiar? As expected, this is only one theory in the middle of many. But no matter what we consider the Gould belt to be, it’s obvious that it has a high amount of power over the existence and shape of our solar system. School teaches us to think of our Sun as having the most power over us, but that Sun is contained by more than interstellar matter. With the Gould belt’s reputation and past, we find that we need to study and identify it not just because it’s interesting, but because of what it might do to us.

And that’s pretty fantastic.

Say hello to Gliese 581c. A possible new homeworld that has been newly discovered to be completely covered in ocean; a waterworld deeper than ten times that of Earth’s deepest trenches. One year is equal to 13 earth days.

I will name you Gladice, and you will be my Gladice, and when we create spaceships that can travel past the speed of light, YOU WILL BE MINE

Is this true?

idk why i got chills. omg how do people in nasa discover this shit?!

Wow but the water looks dirtier than Earths.

^ cuz it’s deeper so it’s darker i guess

It looks so dark tho. The waters. wooo so deep then. but omg 1 year = 13 earth days. that’s mindf

It’s so pretty I love it now.

anyone still here

August 27, 10:16 PM

So a lot of people from twitterstuck have been contacting me worriedly, because I've been on and off the past two weeks. Heck, a lot of people have been contacting me in general being worried. I feel like I owe everyone an explanation for my absences in a way that's more than 140 characters on twitter.

I know I've been extremely unreliable the past two weeks. I feel extremely apologetic for it. I'm sorry, guys. I'm trying my very best but I've got this thing around August and September where I coccoon into myself and hibernate.

I'm trying not to do that this year, so if I can ask people the favour that if they don't see me for awhile, if you can try to check up on me, I would appreciate it. I'm not hiding because I want to. I feel trapped in the fact I keep having trouble contacting more people than myself. Because unfortunately, the thing I hate to say is that yes, there is a reason to worry.

There's a few things going on right now and it's more than just my foot being injured. I have social anxiety disorder and it's striking me pretty bad. So's my depression. And my PTSD. And my anxiety. And I can't sleep at all. Basically, I'm fucked. I see my psych on Wednesday.

Usually I spend a lot of time on twitterstuck when I'm like that but due to the aforementioned cocooning, it's the opposite this time. August and September are when I hide because they're the months that hold three bad anniversaries for me: my mom dying, my mom's birthday, and when I was infected with lyme.

So basically I usually hibernate in a ball and depression and PTSD and nerves, but I really don't want to do that this year. So I'm reaching out to my friends and saying, if you don't see me, please message me? Email ( penguins.stride @ gmail ) or facebook (I can provide the link privately) or twitter DM ( my personal davesbluebox or dave's account cogsnotfrogs ). AIM ( areyou99 ) yahoo!Messanger ( carabba@rocketmail.com ) skype ( gostriding ).

I usually try not to ask these things because I don't want to bother people, but since so many people have been contacting me and asking if I'm okay / how they can contact me / how they can check up on me, I feel safe at reaching out.

And I really want to say this: I almost never feel safe in that. But this year, I do. I feel very okay in it. I love you guys. You've changed my life and you've changed it for the better. I love you and am thankful for you every day.

I'm going to try harder, because I know I need to for everyone who's worried about me, but also for myself. I'm going to try to steer myself towards a better path. And I thank you guys in advance for being there while I do it. And for everything you've done for me by just being around. Seriously. I love you.

April 24, 11:54 PM

I don't know where anyone is anymore. Who has twitter, who has plurk, who still has a Livejournal and who absconded to Dreamwidth or the like. I've lost track of a lot of people that I don't want to lose track of.

So this is me asking, guys, where is the best place to check on updates for each of you? I love you all and want to keep up with you better than I've been able to. Which I apologize for. So I'm gonna start posting to LJ again but as I said above, I don't know who is doing what anymore. :/

Let me know?

I'm moving over to Dreamwidth at foozled_up . I don't come on LJ anymore because the botched coding causes severe security risks to anyone who loads the website. But if you have Dreamwidth, friend me there? :D

July 10, 04:13 PM

I've found a couple Glastonbury clips from the MTV stream on youtube, amazing quality. I'm assuming MTVWorld took it down (and if they didn't, does anyone know a proxy server I can use? In the States, I can't view MTVWorld). I also found a really poor couple which said the Clint Eastwood was Snoop Dogg ft. Gorillaz XD Isn't it the other way around, guys? Anyway, I'll either finish hunting down clips (which I don't like because the clipping is up to the uploader, not the viewer) or see if I can get the full stream somewhere. If I do, I'll give up my annoyance at fandom and upload the whole thing cut and uncut. There are a few people who go out of their way to thank me and ask me if I could take the time for more but it's okay if I can't. Apparently youtube has the power to be the most polite place ever. So I'm going to consider this uploading for those guys, not the ones who are annoyances. :/

I have no idea what the fuck Snoop Dogg is rolling out because it's poor quality, but that may be because I spent the entire thing alternatively trying to puzzle out what the fuck he was wearing or wanting to stick a fez on him so his apparent cosplay of Russ would be complete. :P The whole thing was kind of weird, what with Damon brandishing his melodica in the air like it was a rifle and waving it around, and any sight of the thing (whether or not it was being played) sent the crowd into hysterics. Shit, dude, the melodica is getting respect now? ;.; I AM FINALLY NOT CONSIDERED A LAZY MUSICIAN PLAYING A BASTARD CHILD FOR IT BEING MY SPECIALITY SINCE I WAS 10? Aaaaaah omg.

Also at one point Jamie got in Snoop's face so close I'm sure his mic was on Snoop's nose, which, lol wtf?

seriously snoop wtf are you wearing ok are you going to make me have to tweet you asking why, why, why

Damon seems to have shed his usual concert gear (LOL NAAAKEEED) from the jeans and red shirt to a leather jacket, black shirt and black pants of some material. Also he looks like he stole Shaun Ryder's glasses. If he did, I approve of this measure.

---- why is gorillaz_news so quiet, wtffff?

Feel Good, INC, I am not sure what he's singing but it is not the concert or album version at all. I think it's Noodle's Demo cut down for time (which is very fitting) but I can't say for sure without a lyrics sheet, of which nobody has made. I'm making my own later. If so, it makes complete sense, the timing could not be more appropriate.

I like how the MC'ing is being handled this year, I hope that once they involve the fictional band members they'll put catchcalls back in. Considering the fact they had so little dates in the Demon Day tour because an MC fucked up so badly (basically, this guy verbally abused the audience and the band and it got bad enough that the concert hall refused to pay them and the rest of the tour canceled out. That's a huge reason of why we had Demon Detour instead), even this makes me happy. It's just a sort of general catch-all, anyone on stage can step in. It's very disorganized appearing but I'm sure Damon and Jamie have it meticulously planned out, because they never do things anyway else (even if they crash and burn in the process).

Guys. Guys. I got a tentative number for my music stipend from school. $3500 is the estimation. I need to plan what to do with this, both instrument and concert-wise. Anyone willing to help, please? :D I'm seeing Gorillaz at leat once in the States and in Mexico if I can manage it. I'll have a clarinet and melodica by then, so they don't figure in. Hrm...

More Glastonbury thoughts as I get ahold of the videos. Right now, all I know is that it needs to be October right now.

(is she real, is she real)

O green world,
Don't desert me now
Bring me back to fallen town
Where someone is still alive

You're on your own (when you begin)
To sing a song (that doesn't sing)
And it grows (hey, you know)

And they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters
It's all desire (it's all desire)

Fighting for something new in this (is she real, is she real)
When no one needs the heart of me and I'll
Get out somewhere other than me before...

(is she real, is she real)

Got off the plane to the country sound (without the truth to the eyes)
I drove to the mountain and a hole in the ground (hiding out in holes)
There was crack on the corner and someone dead (is she real, is she real)
and fire coming out of the monkey's head

Put me in a cab to suburbia (snatch a piece of my wondering)
I just took a line but it wasn't with you (it's my mistake, i'll make it)
There was more of it there, when I got back home (i just took a line)
But you had left me, you don't know my soul... (is she real, is she real)

I saw that day, (something's starting today)
Lost my mind (where did he go?)
Lord, I'm fine (where you wanted to be)
Maybe in time (you know, november has come)
You'll want to be mine (is she real, is she real)

Something's starting today
Where did he go? why you wanted to be?
Well you know, november has come
When it's gone away..

In these demon days (it's so cold inside)
So hard for a good soul to survive (is she real, is she real)
You can't even trust the air you breathe (because mother earth wants us all to leave)

Dreams aren't bad,
I had turned back
I love the girl (is she real, is she real)
But God only knows it's
Getting hard to see the sun coming through
I love you...
But what are we going to do?

Sinking soul
There you are
Doesn't make side to
But it won't be long
Cause kids with guns
Kids with guns
Easy does it, easy does it, they got something to say no to

Picture I'm a dreamer
I'll take you deeper
Down to the sleepy glow
Time is a low..
Don't you know?
What are we going to do?

And they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters
It's all desire

When you go back
All the second selfless days
You're in love with him
I want to see you again
I love you...
But what are we going to do?

So pick yourself up, it's a brand new day
So turn yourself round
Don't burn yourself, turn youself
Turn yourself around
To the sun!

my huge gorillaz project before i move to other things. the goal is to manage to mix every single song on demon day (excluding d-sides) into one megamix.

the template is hardly finished and a lot will change, but suggestion would still be awesome

this is even trickier since they made their own sampler, but that one's simple cut and paste, i want to josh this all into one song.

Started out considering Deltron vs Gorillaz.

Drafting a timeline, not editing anything at all:


Went back in and dumped most the tracks, cut it for the idea it wanted to be anyway, which was a mix of Kids with Guns and Fire Coming Out Of A Monkey's Head. Now it's basically a completely different project altogether. Funny how that works sometimes.

Cutting it down to the quick, new draft, simple transitions, sound manipulation:


Next, I get to go in and decide whether it speaks for itself, or if it needs some fanciful embellishments.

creative processes are fun?

Hm. Must try out a premium account for this journal sometime in the future.

April 15, 07:32 PM

I started fucking around with this awhile ago, but it just wasn't working. Up to 1:12 only needs some volume envelopes balanced. The rest has 30 second spots that I am satisfied with sparsed between 'well, THAT is a rough draft'. Really, I should stop being annoyed at myself because this was my second serious attempt at a project. Still. When something isn't working, you get down to the basics.

The problem with what I did instead is that each half by itself is what I wanted, but apparently I developed an entirely different idea today as to how I wanted to do it than last night. But I had fun with it, it just needs some sore spots smoothed over before it can be finished.

Suggestions for either, comments, would be awesome. :D <3

I think it may all be in the draft. The problem with the first is I just made it up as I went along. The second had a template that was only vagually followed in the end, but it still helped a lot.

Maybe I'll tear out all the crap in the Black Parade mix then write a template. I guess that'll work.

comments

April 14, 06:17 AM
MCR/Black Parade megamix! 75% done, need to fix some transitions/bad volume spots. Constructive criticism would be awesome. :D Acid Pro fucked up all the rendering and ruined a lot of stuff. If you heard it already THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE D:

I will fix this later.

Put to task:

(gorillaz)Money for the Free-> 50%
(mcr/black parade)Dancing Bones-> 65%
(shiny toy guns)Mall Rescue 101-> 5%
(various)Pop Star Battle Arena-> 25%

April 13, 08:32 PM

Last night's experiment was as thus: write lyrics as they come through, things around you, words that pop up suddenly (even quotations) and make them all fit together with as little editing as possible.

I've been screwing around with Sonic Acid Pro 4.0. Yesterday I created what I think the inside of (milliways)Kaworu's head sounds like. Today I started to work seriously on my first project. I'm doing another with Shiny Toy Guns, but that one's far from posting, yeah :)

No name yet, but here it is. It's only a template right now - any blank spot or odd transitions are going to be adjusted later. I'm replacing Sound Check (Gravity) with Demon Detour: El Mañana. Might twist a bit of another Demon Detour live, 'Clint Eastwood (Live - feat. De La Soul & Bootie Brown)' and a mic soldier riff. We'll see what happens, eh?

The template is basic, but hopefully I can make it sound good.

April 13, 12:25 AM

playing around with different ways of presenting lyrics and what is intended for the beat.

tomorrow's in mono ; tomorrow is not today ; so bless your beating heart...
this was always you ; with your soul in time ; bringing the rhythm to the beat ;
put your heart in what you make ; put your soul in what you use ;
and forever hold onto ; the nature of it all ;
raindrops pattering on the ground ; tomorrow's in mono ; tomorrow is not today
