hey, stingc

I was wondering if you would be interested in helping out on a database type website for astronomy and related topics. I'll get into more detail later, but basically what I plan on doing is creating a huge complex database of different theories and things like that, including different scientists and everything, that is searchable and everything. It will take me a bit to get the basic database design going, and to actually get a small site going, but I'm just wondering if you would be interested in helping out populate the database?


Also, I hope to make it bigger than just astronomy. I hope to merge many different science databases into one kind of thing. It will take a few years to get that far, but I think it will be very rewarding in the future.


Oh yeah, and back on topic.

This black hole doesn't seem so 'surprising' if you read about different ways and theories on how the universe may have started. Some of them would suggest that something like this could have spawned only 1 billion years after the big bang. It's an amazing find, and I'm probably more excited about it than most people on here, but from reading some books this week about the early universe, it doesn't seem taht surprising that something like this existed 12.7 billion years ago.
