That illustration is interesting. The shadowy site, away from the distant star, is casting a cone of light. Faulty data indeed.

Where's the "published" paper ?
It should be peer-reviewed as well.
And if there is at least an error confusing radius and diameter, who knows what other errors there are in there.
I'd rather be phishing!

This, coming from a guy who used to work for a software company that still can't get its patching system right after decades of trying?

I we're going to be judged by who we used to work for we're all in a pile of dog doo-doo up to our ears! besides he wasn't even a software dude!

Everything I remember hearing about Myhrvold on his role at Microsoft is all about how much of a "software dude" he actually is...

Maybe, but they patched their company by getting rid of him, so he was probably one of the few useful ones.

Almost nothing that astronomers claim holds up under close scrutiny, so don't be surprised at this.

Negative creativity and dark desires for free "research" money is the problem.
I dare say we've all worked with people who can't actually do what they say they can do, and who make ridiculous claims about how everything works, if you only look at the world with the same myopic blinkers that they wear. Fortunately, those people are a low percentage of developers.
With astronomers, it's close to 100%
They're the marketing morons of the science world.

...with a highly attractive outfit. As she was speaking to the boss, I was just having a glimpse at her (Like head to toe ), with an assumption nobody's watching me. As I turned my focus back at my screens, I found this message my other mate had left me.
"But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart, my son"
Damn how do I wash this sin.

Women know darn well when they dress to kill, and they want to be looked at. At least, discretely.
So, my response is:
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. -- Philippians 4:8

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Keep lusting.
It ain't a sin until you try introducing her to ol' Mr. One-Eye.

According to some religions, it is one of the Seven deadly sins[^] whether you do anything about it or not.
That could be just sky pixie drivel, of course!

My friends from other beliefs here, say, "It's sin to have a second look at a woman"
Which means, the first sight can be accidental , so god wouldnt punish. But if you make a second attempt to look at her, it's lustful. That you are consciously looking at her with an intent.
So our clever folks do a visual-rape at the first sight itself. They wouldn't blink until they see through everything and complete the "Simulation" program.

According to the religion of john, organized religion is a scam meant to exploit the weak-minded.

I'm just dead impressed that he knew the quote. I'd have struggled and I'm a theology graduate!
Having said that, it is one of the least understood quotes in the the Gospels. If, instead of 'the Sermon on the Mount' it was entitled, 'Jesus does stand-up' it would be far nearer the truth. The point is that Jesus is sending up the Pharisees and the like who believe that you only get to heaven if you are scrupulously righteous and obey the Torah in every detail. By showing what that would actually entail (cutting your own hands off or putting out your own eyes to avoid the merest possibility of sin, for example) Jesus ridicules the very notion of a righteous man and salvation by personal holiness. So this passage on adultery is not an extension of the injunction but a recognition of the sheer impossibility of meeting the standard it requires. We are, it turns out, only human, and Jesus, like all good comedians, invites his audience to share the joke!
