	Astrophysics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The study of cosmology is theoretical astrophysics at the largest scales.
		Because it is a very broad subject, astrophysicists typically apply many disciplines of physics including, but not limited to, mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, nuclear and particle physics, and atomic and molecular physics.
		They use a wide variety of tools which include analytical models (for example, polytropes to approximate the behaviors of a star) and computational numerical simulations.

	Astrophysicist has a dark theory on black holes
		Mottola and Pawel Mazur, an astrophysicist at the University of South Carolina, have their own theory about what fl holes are, and it has nothing to do with infinite energy.
		While no astronomer or astrophysicist can say for sure what dark energy is, mathematical calculations and theoretical data have shown it to be a real concept, and it is generally accepted by the scientific community, Mottola said.
		As a gravistar is created, the phase shift would discharge energy in the form of big quantities of gamma rays, which would explain the phenomenon of gamma ray bursts, something astrophysicists haven't been able to explain with the standard models.

	USATODAY.com - Rebel astrophysicist, writer Sir Fred Hoyle dies at 86 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Astrophysicist Fred Hoyle once disdainfully called a competitor's view of the universe the "big bang." The name stuck, the theory is now mainstream, and Hoyle opposed it to the very end.
		Perhaps most notably, he brought together nuclear physicists and astrophysicists to help create the modern understanding of how stars work and how planets form.
		His championing of the "steady state" universe, which saw the cosmos as eternally contracting and expanding, served as a goad and a check on advocates of the big bang theory.

		His feet, which are on the surface of the star, are attracted toward the star's center by an infinitely mounting gravitational force; while his head, which is farther away, is accelerated downward by a somewhat smaller, though ever rising force.
		The astrophysicist's body, which cannot withstand such extreme forces, suffers unlimited stretching between head and foot as R drops to zero.
		Simultaneous with this head-to-foot stretching, the astrophysicist is pulled by the gravitational field into regions of spacetime with ever-decreasing circumferential are, 4(pi)r^2.

		Tyson paints the world through the eyes of an astrophysicist who couldn't enjoy watching "Mary Poppins" with his daughter because the moves defy the law of physics.

		For many decades, I have been struggling to be true to two parts of me--the Piscean lover of depth psychology, mysticism, meditation, and astrology, and the tough-minded theoretical astrophysicist who looks skeptically on all these things.
		The astrophysicist is fond of his intellect, confident in the power of reason, even arrogant--a somewhat swaggering intellectual hard hat.
		So far it seems like the astrophysicist is imposing his scientific values of articulate theory and careful experiment on astrology.
