I knew something sounded fishy but I just could not put my finger on it.
By the time all the forms are in everyone of those galaxies will have moved.
We will need another survey to work out where they moved to.
When I read about the proposed research I thought, as most people probably would, wow that is a lot but really when you think how many are out there a mere million is such a small percentage.
Think of the Hubble deep sky shots, a gain of sand at arms length hides thousands and that result would go for wherever you tried that move.
I wonder if the researcher gets paid for each galaxy. How much time would you give to each galaxy.
You would have to write its name or number, a location, where it is going, speed, mass, luminosity.
Heck you would want at least $50 for each one.
So I wonder how much the grant was?
Is there a survey on how many people make their living from doing surveys.
Are surveys science?
Will it ever stop raining?
