Major astrophysics discovery to be unveiled on Monday.

[dennilfloss]

Anyone wants to venture an educated guess as what it might be? Dark matter/dark energy related? Something to do with gravity maybe? Heck, let's go full optimistic and say the speed of light can actually be exceeded!

[OCGuy]

Speed of light was exceeded at least once

I don't know what it is, but it better be Morgan Freeman making the announcement.

The world is not flat and we are floating through space on a raft called Earth?

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

A new ring around Uranus?

 

[BoomerD]

Contrary to popular belief...the moon is NOT made out of swiss cheese? :hmm:

 

[88keys]

The Bible?

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Ok a legit guess. Maybe pimping sterile neutrinos as dark matter.

 

[BladeVenom]

Space dragons.

 

[allisolm]

Aliens!

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Gravitational waves from the Big Bang.

Einstein will be pleased.

[Fanatical Meat]

New & improved segway 2

 

[yhelothar]

FTL!

That would be awesome!

I'm guessing the discovery of a very Earth like planet somewhere else in the galaxy. Our count of planets outside the solar system has recently passed 1000...

extrasolar planets or some sort of universe observation come to mind

a reptile with insectoid eyes?

is that cross phylum chimerea?

 

[sandorski]

Aliens!

Oh you did that in a tech forum? Well this thread is about to turn ugly. Way to go.

Unless they:

Found alien life

or

Have a ship that can travel 100000's of lightyears in days

then, it's all hype and won't be that exciting, because they never are.

 

[techs]

Found oil on Uranus?

 

[JManInPhoenix]

Gorns are real! Yay!

Sad, but true. In astrophysics "perhaps a chance to support life, we'll never know for sure if it ever did or ever will" is about the biggest news possible. Unless they pick up a light source that is blinking out prime numbers it's going to be a snooze.

there are hydrocarbons on titan. doubt this would be it since it would not need a huge conference.

this says astrophysics so i doubt it has anything to do with life or organics.

Gravitational waves from the Big Bang.

Einstein will be pleased.

I'm leaning towards gravity waves too.
