Found this article and thought I would share. Click Here Did not see this elsewhere yet, sorry if this is a repost. The summary is that Einstein@Home has helped discover 24 new pulsars! |

Enjoyed reading the link. Thanks. The universe wastes nothing, it's simply transferred. Lynn |

Well, there you have it. |

The big thing the Einstein project has going for it? They actually found something :-D |

The big thing the Einstein project has going for it? AP found something. Actually, 114 somethings. Two of the somethings ended-up being known pulsars. We found 112 more somethings. Maybe those somethings are nothing interesting, but they're something -- maybe. Well, I say "we found" although I don't know that "we" did it. It might have been done by a computer at Berkeley. Maybe you found it. Maybe you and I found whatever it is. But I can happily report that someone, somewhere, found 112 of something, somewhere out there, or maybe not... as far as I can tell. |

Well I am crunching a hidden challenge on Einstein . I just wish that challenges would be better coordinated. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

In case anyone wants to see the AP information on what AP may or may not have found. http://setiathome.berkeley.edusah_papersstatus_of_ucb_seti_efforts_2011.pdf |

Well I am crunching a hidden challenge on Einstein . I just wish that challenges would be better coordinated. Curious, could you elaborate on the "hidden challenge" concept? I have never heard of that. Admittedly, I only crunch Seti as of now, so any other project I am quite unfamiliar with. |

The big thing the Einstein project has going for it? Just wondering, is there old data that has been split and crunched as Seti but not as AP? If so, could those tapes be loaded into the AP splitters during their down time when they've finished the current tapes and the Seti splitters haven't?

LOL, I said hidden, because I knew there was a challenge, but had a hard time finding out more about it. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Einstein has found new pulsars, both in Arecibo data and Parkes data. They are especially interested in binary pulsar systems, because they can be used to verify the predictions of general relativity. Tullio |
