For astronomers, Omega Centauri has been an outcast amongst globular clusters for a long time. A new result obtained by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and the Gemini Observatory provides a surprising explanation for Omega Centauri's peculiarities.

I don't believe that anything is good or evil Good and Evil are simply notions Things simply "are", anything & everything that happens in the universe is balanced Nothing is lost, nothing is gained. Things only transform and its ones' perception that lead to the believe good or evil For every effect in the universe there is a equal and opposite effect If something "bad" or "evil" happens, an equally "good" effect exists

You're obviously mistaken Richard Cranium. It's not the science that is good or evil, science is a neutral medium. What is done with the scientific knowledge is what can be defined as good or evil. Is a baseball bat good or evil? NEITHER! However, if I use that baseball bat to bash in the brains of a fellow man, then I am using the bat to facilitate an action that may be construed as evil. The same goes for anything else. Now run along you mental midget and go read some Socrates.

If it exists in space/time, black holes affect it.
