Blackholes and Revelations

First update for a while, this is mainly down to all the work that has come with the other aspect of the media studies course the magazine part. Work in fact that i am going to do after ive finished this quick update.

Any way, a while back i posted a update how the playstation 3 was being used in a experiment know as 'folding at home'. Well what do you get with scientists and 16 PS3s?

You get scientists trying to simulate the collisions of two black holes. To be honest it is all very complicated how they are going about it, if you feel the need to hurt your brain see for your self here.

Good luck getting to grips with the 'Gravity Grid'. I just think its nice to see the PS3 being used for something that isn't gaming, or an immense media experience... or curing cancer.
