Socialism Doesn't Work....??

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. 

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Socialist's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A ....  

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. 

As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. 

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. 

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment: 

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. 

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. 

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. 

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! 

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Record-Breaking Galaxy Cluster Found!

Astronomers find record-breaking galaxy cluster

A massive so-called galaxy cluster, one of the largest structures in the universe, has been discovered about 5.7 billion light years from Earth and credited with setting several important new cosmic records.

The cluster, which has shown a prodigious rate of star formation, may force astronomers to rethink how such colossal structures and galaxies that inhabit them evolve over time.

Known officially by an alphabet soup of numbers and letters as SPT-CLJ2344-4243, the cluster has been nicknamed “Phoenix,” after the mythological bird that rose from the dead.

That's partly due to the constellation in which it lies. The Phoenix was also a great way of thinking about the latest astronomical marvel.

“While galaxies at the center of most clusters may have been dormant for billions of years, the central galaxy in this cluster seems to have come back to life with a new burst of star formation,” said McDonald, the lead author of the paper on Phoenix, appearing in the Aug. 16 issue of Nature.

Based on observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the U.S. National Science Foundation's South Pole Telescope and eight other observatories, researchers said the centre of the Phoenix cluster had been linked to the creation of about “740 solar masses” or stars a year. By comparison, the Perseus cluster forms stars at a rate about 20 times slower than Phoenix.

Huge clusters like Phoenix are thought to host thousands of galaxies and there was still a lot to learn about what goes on within them.

Supermassive black holes in the central galaxy of a cluster have long been associated with low observed star formation rates, as they pump energy into the system and prevent the cooling of gases needed for the creation of stars.

But researchers said the “massive starburst” seen in Phoenix, as it gave birth to about two stars per day, suggested that its central galaxy's black hole had failed to interfere with an extremely strong cooling flow.

Stars are forming in the Phoenix cluster at the highest rate ever observed for the middle of a galaxy cluster. The object also is the most powerful producer of X-rays of any known cluster and among the most massive. The data also suggest the rate of hot gas cooling in the central regions of the cluster are the largest ever observed.

Lesson of Time

You may be powerful today.

But remember, time is more powerful than you.
Slowly but surely you be eaten by time.
So be good.
Don't devalue and hurt others even if you think
you are in real powerful today.
Nothing is so great being powerful if the power you have today is not used to serve your fellow human beings and the environment well.
Time will never forget about you but to be your best and absolute judge.
Time is not corruptible, 
not indulging in croynism,
not practicing favouritism 
and surely cannot be bought in order to delay or to decide the judgement in your favour.

Remember, time is forever behind you,
definitely you can't win over it, 
ultimately you be beaten.....
and certainly, what is that to be proud of , to be arrogant and to be abusive if indeed you are really powerful today.
