<being blind, deaf, dumb, and without a pc is quite relaxing :0) incredible, oil at highs and so are homes. one or the other market is wrong, or both will learn> Jay, you are a stationary observer in a financial relativity field. Your perceptions are that the homes and oil are financially skooshed, but when travelling at the speed of US$ as an observer, you will find that they are the same as normal. Maybe you will learn? The incredible shrinking dollar, counter devalued by the faster devaluing China production maths, with India outsourced lower costs still, means houses and oil are cheap. Not forgetting competing pixelation of standard units of value in the Euro, AUD, Kiwi, Yen and every French olde days fiat currency printing equivalent. Everything is changing. Or something like that. I read recently about some neutron star spinning at 600 rpm. universetoday.com Somehow, that reminds of what is going on. Imagine that. A whole star spinning that fast. Perhaps as a prelude to disappearing into a black hole. Or perhaps exploding into something else. The energy from that one star's momentum would be enough to power all the SUVs in the USA for a longgggg time. The universe is not short of energy and Uncle Al KBE is not short of US$. Mqurice PS: It is nice to be a 3D reality-based person, with none of that esoteric cyberspace detached from reality stuff. And I get speeding tickets for doing 61 kph: <Astronomers from the University of Southampton have spotted the fastest spinning X-ray pulsar ever seen - it's rotating 600 times a second! The object, designated IGR J00291+5934, was first spotted as a bright X-ray object by the European Space Agency's INTEGRAL space telescope in December. Further analysis revealed that it's part of a binary system, siphoning material off of a companion star. The two stars orbit one another every 2.5 hours, separated by the distance of the Earth and the Moon. > 2.5 hours!!!!! I can't really imagine it all.
