[font size=3]Massive invisible 'noodles' detected in our galaxy. What are they?[/font]

Haven't had your mind blown in a while? Try this story on for size. Scientists have detected massive invisible structures in our galaxy that are shaped like noodles, lasagne sheets or hazelnuts, and they have no idea what they are, according to a recent news release.

The structures, which were lurking about 3,000 light-years away, are completely invisible, but scientists were able to catch a glimpse of their shapes by studying the lensing effect they had on a quasar called PKS 1939-315 in the constellation of Sagittarius. Those shapes were oddly irregular and difficult to describe.

"We could be looking at a flat sheet, edge on," said Dr. Cormac Reynolds, a member of the CSIRO team that performed the research. "Or we might be looking down the barrel of a hollow cylinder like a noodle, or at a spherical shell like a hazelnut." (CSIRO is Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, the federal agency for scientific research in Australia.)

1. I refuse to accept hazelnut worship - enough is enough.

2. Since when are hazelnuts part of Pastafarian theology?

5. Since January 1997

When Gourmet published this recipe:

"Butternut Squash, Sage, and Goat Cheese Ravioli with Hazelnut Brown-Butter Sauce"

3. So...It's Magnificence is Invisible and...

... up in the sky now...

maybe the heretics following all those other false religions will accept us as a Real Religion™ now...

4. Hallelujah! I'm a believer now! Just don't make me give all my extra money

to some clown so he can buy a private jet.

6. I don't ask for all of your extra money.

Just 10% of all your income. And I promise that I won't buy a private jet....I have so many other things that I would rather have.

7. Hey, you guys should be looking at neutron stars

Studies of low density nuclear matter have found that
the attractive-repulsive interplay of nuclear and Coulomb
forces drive low-density nuclear matter to form nonuniform
structures which are collectively known as “nuclear
pasta”. Such arrangements go from condensed
phases with voids filled with nuclear gas, to “lasagnalike”
layers of nuclei surrounded by gas, to “spaghettilike”
rods embedded in a nuclear gas, to ever decreasing
“meatball-like” clumps which practically dissolve into a
gaseous phase [2].
...
To investigate this point further, we created artifi-
cial structures in the form of gnocchi, spaghetti, lasagna
and crossed-lasagnas, which we call “jungle gym”, and
their inverse structures (with voids replacing particles
and viceversa) and calculated the values of the two topological
variables; some of the structures used are shown in
figure 12 and their location in the Curvature-Euler plane
in figure 13.

It's not just that paper; that really is how scientists have been talking about neutron star structure for years.

8. the appearence of design

is not proof of design.

But noodles, damn! That's better than "proof is in a sunset"
