Scientists reported in the journal Nature this week that for every star, there could be two free-agent Jupiters roaming the Milky Way. The world, after all, has avoided being a cosmic billiard ball for billions of years. “That’s pretty cool,” he writes. Rogue planet deathblow. “Are we in danger from these puppies?” wondered astronomer Phil Plait, writing in his Bad Astronomy blog for Discover Magazine. His calculations suggest, if rogues are as common as stars, there’s one for about every 100 cubic light-years – or one closer to Earth than Alpha Centauri, the closest star besides the sun. Of course, a head-on crash would obliterate the Earth, but Plait isn’t losing sleep. Or, could a rogue unleash a torrent of deadly comets from the Oort Cloud out past Pluto? The odds, again, are “incredibly small,” he figures. Jupiter’s a relative neighbor but its gravity is no problem here. That’s such “a vast, mind-numbing volume of space,” there’s no reason to fear earthquake-inducing gravitational effects from a rogue floating out there.

Why cant Pakistan compete with India in all other aspects also.Like for instance India’s work-in-progress democracy, the professionalism of its army in not interfering in political affairs (does anyone even know India’s army chief’s name?), India’s economic growth and a host of other aspects.Just wanna ask Saagua – does the generals in Pakistan actually believe that they can throw a nuclear bomb and destroy India and they can live happily ever after? India and Pakistan are neighbours and for nuclear radiation, there is no national boundary.India atleast has a huge landmass.Pakistan has only a strip when compared.Pakistan has more nuclear bombs than India and honestly for what? Did those nuclear bombs protect Pakistani people from the floods last year? As an Indian I feel sad for Pakistani people.Imagine a nation that allows a foreign country to fly drones and throw bombs on its own population all the while the man US was looking for was actually hiding in a garrison town!.how many Pakistanis are dying day in and day out! And look at the ignonomy the Pakistanis face across the world.All for what? To settle scores with India? That is not going to happen.India’s focus has moved away from Pakistan long back.Have you ever heard of this – To spite an enemy, you spite your own face? That is the story of Pakistan, a nation born with great promise.
