But read on! It's a temporary setback

And on the other hand (this place in the Fortress Forum is for SERIOUS discussion, mind you) maybe the reason why?

I had to think about that for a while, hence the delay. Highly combustible gases (and noxious too but that doesn't bear on the case) would need an oxidant in suitable proportion to produce the explosion - wouldn't happen in a vacuum. No question though about there being sufficient (note the wording - serious scientists don't say "enough") combustible material for a very big bang (no, not that one) - but for the mix? from where -Of course! It could be quite possible that we may have found, at last. more tangible evidence for the elusive dark matter... but as, from here, this conversation could drift from the point - better leave it at that Very Happy
Ni! #ni-2 ni!

Thread on our forums do not drift. They are intentionally lead astray down dark alleys where the are mugged for their lunch money, forced to eat fermented herring, beaten to with an inch of their lives, brainwashed, retrained as penguin-worshipers, brainwashed again, made to dress up in gender inappropriate clothing, and finally recycled as endless post game threads.

But they don't drift. Wink

ni! i!u

[Nor do my posts contain typos! Embarassed]

Somewhere in there a whole paragraph about llamas and alpacas got lost (must be the brainwashing). I'll leave it to clearer minds to fill in the furry details. Wink
