iPod iChing - wtf is up with OJ287

By catdynamics on June 29, 2007.

We venture into the future to ask the Mighty iPod One - what IS going on with OJ287?

Whoosh goes the randomizer.
Whoosh.

  • The Covering: The Love Parade - Undertones
  • The Crossing: Lullaby
  • The Crown: Disco 2000 - Pulp
  • The Root: Get Up Stand Up - Bob Marley
  • The Past: Popsicle - Talking Heads
  • The Future: Love Letter - Bonnie Raitt
  • The Questioner: Hrognin eru að koma - Utangarðsmenn
  • The House: Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
  • The Inside: Four Horsemen - Clash
  • The Outcome: Sigurður Er Sjómaður - Utangarðsmenn

Hm, the Crossing and Root nail the issue.
The Questioner is about the worker who had just got off for the weekend but is called back to work in his party clothes because a ship has come in.
The Outcome is a punk parody of a popular song about a gallant sailor - he is crippled in an industrial accident and denied disability in this version. Ominous

The Future
Look comes to push,
Push comes to shove,
Shove comes to touch,
Touch will come to love.

OJ287 won't let us down...

As always, the Key as explained by Sean

Do you know the distance to OJ287? It should be a hell of a candidate for things to do for the pulsar timing community, if the strain amplitude is high enough ...

little too far with current theoretical orbit parameters and sensitivities,
