This week in Google Alerts

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

We know that the Sun is not dying naturally, that a black hole has
been planted in it. But I believe that a few thousand years would be
too short a time for _that_ to make the described difference...though
Typhon says that it's happening faster than predicted, so current
theory is of relatively little value here.
