Jan 7, 2023 at 21:43 history became hot network question
Jan 7, 2023 at 21:39 comment added Justin Thyme the Second @Pelinore I think it is a symptom of the exponentially escalating irrelevance if the internet generally. The Law of Diminishing Returns. And a victim of its own success., The more populist a platform becomes, the less inteligent it becomes.
Jan 7, 2023 at 18:33 comment added Pelinore @JustinThymetheSecond I am seeing increasing numbers of these questions that appear to lack some weirdly basic understanding in peculiar ways like this, and a possibility occurs to me as a result, do you think that it's possible we've become a test ground for someone's chatbot design project? .. I am being entirely serious in asking this question, unfortunately 🙁 .. it might explain the large uptick in very poor quality and strangely worded questions I've noted in the last year or so.
Jan 7, 2023 at 18:18 comment added Pelinore @JustinThymetheSecond OP appears to be asking about the appearance of individual stars rather than the number of stars nearby to be seen, suggesting he believes stars will take on different physical and visual characteristics in different areas of the galaxy 🥴 which is a very peculiar idea indeed .. if not he's worded his question very strangely 🤗
Jan 7, 2023 at 18:14 comment added Pelinore "bigger/brighter/more blurred" OK what are you on? can I have some? .. the laws of physics don't change just because you've gone to a new location so why on earth would you think what stars look like would change, they would look exactly like stars look from where we are now, brighter if closer dimmer if more distant, there being more of them in the vicinity isn't going to make them suddenly get annoyed all the other stars look the same as them and go out and buy a new flashy dress so they look different is it 👎

Jan 7, 2023 at 14:07 comment added RBarryYoung The title asks about "near the centre of a galaxy", but the body asks about the "core of a globular cluster", two different things. Given the radiation problems near the center of a galaxy, the later (globular cluster) is probably preferred for literary purposes.
