All of the Eskimos met at the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit and together they asked for NASA’s focus. In the end, they managed to get the publicity they wanted, and with it, they carried out a deadly premonition. They claimed that the atmospheric patterns of the earth are increasingly shifting, being changed by emissions to the extent where we’re not going to have much longer on this planet if we don’t change our way. The Sun is no longer rising from where it is meant to or so they say, and they state that the day no longer seems usual.

Supercomputer turns back cosmic clock
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in categories: space, supercomputing
Astronomers have tested a method for reconstructing the state of the early universe by applying it to 4000 simulated universes using the ATERUI II supercomputer at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ). They found that together with new observations, the method can set better constraints on inflation, one of the most enigmatic events in the history of the universe. The method can shorten the observation time required to distinguish between various inflation theories.
