GALACTIC DUST
********************************************************************
MAPPING TOOL FOR ASTRONOMERS? Using the orientation of the
galaxies to help map the universe?
If the orientation of galaxies were recorded, would they
be random? To determine this it would help to have an
orientation system. Suppose the galaxy tilted toward
earth, with its top closer to us and no left or right
tilt. The galaxy would then appear to spiral either
clockwise or counterclockwise within its oval if it
spiraled at all. We could assign an arbitrary
orientation to get relative relationships. Being
homocentric we could use our galaxy as the reference.
Using a right hand rule,kind of like the magnetic fields,
we could say it pointed sort of upwards if it spiraled
clockwise , as fingers sort of spiral in clockwise toward
the right hand with the thumb pointing up. And we could
arbitrarily say that it pointed sort of downward if it
spiraled in counterclockwise. The orientation would be
compared to the reference.
Mirror images of positions could hopefully be resolved
by using the obscuring effect of galactic dust to help
pick the correct orientation. That is, the section of
the galaxy further away would be more obscured. Even if
exact orientation couldn't be found perhaps some of the
possibilities could be eliminated. I suspect that the
orientations would not be random, but I am not sure how
they would show up. I sort of suspect there might be two
dimensional effects of some sort. September 10, 1997.

BIG BANG BLOOIE?
Queeks,I heard the Big Bang theory is suspected of having some
inconsistencies.
I'll do the thinnin here, Boobs.
And the red shift may be misinterpreted too, Queeks. Word is that
the rumblings may erupt in about a year. (Ed. note: written in fall '97)
That"ll be enuff, Boobs.
(Ed. note: Already the time table for the expansion has been shifting)
