If you stay long enough to read the whole thing, there are some interesting things in it...

Good Ole Warleader :D
[B]Amazing article. I couldn't help but notice the link at the very bottom where it shows proof is not active. Goverment Conpsiracy? [/B][/QUOTE] Nope, only proof that in the web people are lazy to update pages and check if links are still active... the main website ([url]www.etheric.com[/url]) works fine, the linked article might still be around if you want to look for it.
But it seriously looks like pseudoscience, nothing more than that. There is a perfectly natural explanation for pulsars that doesn't require building a house of cards with premises based on unproven assumptions about ETs and speculation on the meaning of Native American folklore and astrological signs.
If you can stay long enough, there are some interesting things there. Other than that...
eh...

If galactic cores had a tendency to "explode"... our telescopes should show millions of neatly exploding galaxies. Regrettably... I cannot recall *any* description of an astronomically observed "galactic core explosion". I won't exclude that such a thing could theoretically happen... but I really *really* don't remember any.
So, unless a hyper-advanced civilization devoted incredible effort to such fireworks... the Milky Way core is likely to continue being what is is... a loose soup of stars, dust, holes... and perhaps a big hole in the center.
Stories which want to play with the possibility of galactic cores exploding... are recommended to first establish the existence of a civilisation... with abilities like Culture multiplied by Shadows.
I'm guessing the sequels deal more with the core explosion?
[B][i]Ringworld[/i]! Good book. :)

Not really, it's more prevalent in his short story collections, especially his famous Albino character named Beowolf Shaffer (SP?).
In the stories he appears in, he is one of the best pilots for hire.
In the one story that initially brings the galactic core explosion to light in the Larry Niven Universe, the Pierson's Puppeteer's hire him on as a publicity stunt for their General Products Hull designs, and hire him to take a trip to the galactic core, record the whole thing on vid, and then use it in advertising.
When he gets back, he comes back to find that the Puppeteers have gone into a full panic over the core explosion and are moving there homeworld out to the rim, even though it won't reach known space for thousands of years. They are very paranoid, and jittery... :D
The Larry Niven book called Crashlander has that story in it. Crashlander is a collection of stories about Beowolf Shaffer.
I really wish that someone would make a movie of one of Larry Nivens tales of known space.
My favorite choice would be "A world out of time" because it spans millions of years and is epic, like Dune and other stories...
Ringworld would be good also, but so many movies and TV shows have elements of Ringworld that people who don't follow SciFi works too closely would be tempted to say it's a rip off of other works...
:rolleyes:

Sure, provided that someone has no connections to Hollywood.
