...Half of Yale will be totally trashed. This year, they're carding all over," says Alan C. Lo, a Yale junior, but he adds, "Most people just use a fake...

...They have come to retrieve a score of their comrades, stranded during an earlier expedition, who have reposed in giant sea pods off the Gulf Coast and are now being rejuvenated in the waters of that miracle swimming pool where the old guys take a furtive daily dip. And lo! these senior citizens are of a sudden healthy, frisky and horny. Cancers dissolve, romance blooms anew; fox-trotting arthritics turn into disco dervishes. Wouldn't it be wonderful if decay and death were so easily washed away...
...hole, heats up and begins radiating energy. It is probably this so- called accretion disk that the astronomers measured. Nonetheless, to prove that Sgr A* is indeed a black hole, scientists must conclusively determine its mass. Then, knowing its size, they will be able to calculate its density. Says Lo: "When you find that the density is extremely high and the gravity is so strong that it will overcome all known mechanisms of pressure support, then that would be proof that there is a gravitationally collapsed object...
...best way to calculate the mass of Sgr A*, says Lo, is to study the motion of stars orbiting near it; their movement is dependent upon Sgr A*'s gravity, which in turn is related to its mass. But, Lo explains, "measuring the stellar motion is very difficult because it's highly obscured...
