I just received an email from Monty:

I just found a rather cringeworthy attempt by some fanboys to get a funny name into real science.

An article, "Cardassian Expansion: a Model in which the Universe is Flat, Matter Dominated,
and Accelerating" just published.

It can be found at http://arXiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0201229 and the authors justify themselves as follows:

"The name Cardassian refers to a humanoid race in Star Trek whose goal is to take over the universe, i.e. accelerated expansion. This race looks foreign to us and yet is made entirely of matter."

Argh! Bleedin' fanboys!

A race of beings made of matter. These people have discovered the most unique thing about the Cardassians ever! Bravo science fanboys!

Well, at least we know for sure now that they are not made of antimatter! [Big Grin]

So was I the only one who giggled throughout the O.J. trial whenever lawyer Robert Kardashian was on TV?

Didn't everyone giggle throughout the O.J. trial anyway?
