The danger from computers is not that they will eventually get as smart as men, but we will meanwhile agree to meet them halfway.

Sharon got his great new prestige from leaving Gaza and founding a center party; the party and the evacuation did not derive their popularity from him. Given Israel's globalizing economy, the logic of this party is much stronger than Sharon.

We predict that other velocity tracers in the same elliptical galaxies will show higher velocities if they are less concentrated toward the galaxy center or if they move on more circular orbits. This is likely to be the case for compact star clusters, which are also observable in the outskirts of elliptical galaxies.

It seems that we have identified the main solution to the problem.

If we see a star at a large distance from the center of the galaxy, that star is going to be mostly moving either away from the center or back toward the center. Almost certainly, most of its motion is perpendicular to our line of sight.

In the merger process that produces these galaxies, a lot of the stars get flung out to fairly large distances, and they end up in highly elongated orbits that take them far away and then back in close to the center.
