Re: Not Quite Right I think

In Response To: Not Quite Right I think (SpecialNewb)

: Strong work but a few points

: 1) as someone already said the consesus is actualyl closer to 100,000 LY not
: 130,000 for the Milky Way and

: 2)There is a very strong consensus for a supermassive blackhole in the center
: of the galaxy, as well as a high concentration of stars and novas etc.
: resulting in any sentient life of sufficient flood biomass being extremely
: unlikely

: 3)I am confused. The range of the Halos is 25000 LY, I have always taken this
: to mean that its 25000 LY in every direction or a diameter of 50,000 LY
: for each Halo.

: So with those points, I think you very well can cover the galaxy pretty well
: especially if you ignore the core as less of importance thanks to
: Sagitarius A (Which what the supermassive is called I think).

yeah, i question the math and unit work also. if each halo has a diameter of 50,000. and the galaxy has a diameter of 100,000. then two halos side by side would reach from one side of the galaxy to the other.
staying only two dimensional. the galaxy has an area of 7,853,981,634 and one halo range has the area of 1,963,495,408. suprisingly, 4 times the area of halos range equal 7,853,981,632. exactly 2 short of the galaxy's area. know geographically, the shapes would not line up exactly, but there are still 3 more halos to use to effectivly cover the entire area of the galaxy and more without any gaps. however, this is just in terms of 2D. not 3D.
