Well, it’s time to turn out the lights and say goodbye on astronomy and space?

Yahoo, BLM and Verizon ALL celebrate a strike against American First Amendment free speech and expression, in their bid to give rise to American Communist Socialism. 

I closed out my Verizon cellphone account; my money's going to a company NOT supportive of American Communist Socialism. 

May this rise of ACS FAIL by God's mighty hand!!

Hydrogen peroxide H2O2 kills nanoworms inside face masks. The elite is faking that they took the real vaccine; the real vaccine will cause spiritual and physical damage. When will the official churches start praying for the false prophet? Orthodox Christian three hand signs are different than Buddhist mudras. Ecumenism = 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell. Orthodoxy = the only true faith; Roman Catholics tried one cup - one spoon ritual and got sick with Bubonic plague; if heresy enters Orthodox monastery then monks/nuns will get sick with flu/tuberculosis (for instance); Orthodox churches who closed for COVID or had disposable cups/spoons or dipped spoon into alcohol are no longer brides of Christ (now they serve Satan and honor Satan's new COVID religion). Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good. SSN is written as a barcode/QRcode; then it's put into a chip; chip is put into vaccine; chipped people are influenced (by super computers) to receive grey plastic card World Passport with no name on it (but when they stretch their hands to get it, gov't clerk presses secret button to administer the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays). If you reject mark of the beast (by hiding within a 10-15 people group according to saints Gabriel Urgebadze and SeraphimofSarov), then your direct ancestors go to heaven (according to saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov from Ural). First vaccine shuts off your immune system; second vaccine gives you diseases; third vaccine puts your immune system back and it will start fighting the diseases and will cause death. Saint Paisios from Mount Athos said that the devil wants to deceive the rich with freemasonry, poor with communism, and believers with ecumenism. Elpidios Vagianakis said that there will be seven “mark of the beast” vaccines; reject all of them! Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.

Myself, I will fight to the Bitter end

Then Move to Mars with a Lorry full of Cannibis

See-ya, Neb... I wish you well.  I've been trying out Quora; it's... different. But operating, at least. Stay safe. 

Well put Neb 

Over the years , I've enjoyed the answers of many contributors ,and like many , I always looked to your inputs , to keep the eyes of the rest of us , on the science .

I don't think  you had an equal when it came to GR.

Good knowing you all .

Turning out the lights on all of YA. I used to love the Astronomy and Space section, but the past few years, it has been filled with trolls and beyond stupid and ridiculous questions, as have most of the other categories. I haven't taken YA seriously for the most part for several years now. I miss what it was, but not what it is. So, I am not too sad to see it shut down. 

Keep in mind, curiosity is the reason humans have accomplished so much.  Not to say I'm making excuses with trolls but there are so many closed minded, negative people who are supposed experts of astronomy and yet some of them put you in a bad mood.

Actually there will continue to be stars in the sky for the next 10^14 years, though our Sun will swallow the earth in about 5 billion years.

The age of total darkness won't happen till about 10^100 years from now, assuming that protons eventually decay.

But we will no longer have a forum to talk about it.

Yes Neb, this has been a wonderful opportunity for those who genuinely wanted to learn, and for those who were willing to lower their resistance to reason and data.

For us who tried to teach: a frustrating experience, but nevertheless an informative one, as we ourselves were able to learn about how much the subject of A&S is misunderstood by the public.

We didn't always agree Neb, but I respected your answers here. Perhaps we will cross swords again on another forum soon. I will look forward to it.

And the rest of YA!, its not just the A&S category.
