Papist Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 This is an artist's concept of the fastest rotating star found to date. The massive, bright young star, called VFTS 102 rotates at about two million kilometers per hour. Centrifugal force from this dizzying spin rate has flattened the star into an oblate shape, and spun off a disk of hot plasma, seen edge on in this view from a hypothetical planet. The star may have "spun up" by accreting material from a binary companion star. The rapidly evolving companion later exploded as a supernova. The whirling star lies 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.

Papist Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 [b]The Golden Ratio[/b] If you divide a line into two parts so that, the longer part divided by the smaller part is also equal to the whole length divided by the longer part.

Some artists and architects believe the Golden Ratio makes the most pleasing and beautiful shape. Many buildings and artworks have the Golden Ratio in them,such as the Parthenon in Greece, but it is not really known if it was designed that way.

brianthephysicist Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Not only was it thought to be designed with the Golden ratio in mind, it also used precise optical illusions in its construction to achieve the appearance of architectural perfection.
