    Bang
    16th October 2006 - By chrislintott

    The Bang! website has just gone live in anticipation of our launch next week. As well as plugging the book, it should provide a place for me to write updates and articles, like this one on the Bullet cluster. The Bullet is important because many people (including the NASA press office) claim that it provides direct proof of the presence of dark matter on galaxy cluster scales.

      Afternoon Mr Lintott

      Looking forwards to the launch date with great anticipation, and much expectation…
      I appreciate that Brian, Patrick and yourselve have many other pressing commitments but was wondering, are the three of you going to get together for a launch event??

      Many thanks

      Sorry for the typo – meant to write ‘yourself’ NOT ‘yourselve’

      Good luck with the launch

      Hi

      We’re getting together for the benefit of the press on Monday, but will hopefully do something public soon. It all depends on getting Brian out of the recording studio.

      Hi Chris,
      I’m looking forward to the release with great anticipation. I have had it on pre-order from Amazon for a long time now. Can’t wait to read it, if it is as good as the GCSE book it should be great.

      I have just read the extract from “Bang” on Brian May’s website and may I say it’s obvious that none of you three (may Moore Lintott) can write for toffee. It’s confused, waffly, lacks structure and out of date. Brian – stick to music. Patrick Moore always wrote like a schoolboy.

      Hi George

      I tried to email you to find out which bits are ‘out of date’ so we can improve to your exacting standards, but you seem to have given a fake email address. Personal abuse AND hiding behind a fake address – how grown-up.

      Hope to hear from you soon

      Chris

      Hello George,

      I must say that your opinions on the book do not impress me. I have too read clips from the book via Brain’s website and can confirm that the quality of the writing is far better than i expected (not that i thought bad of it). Personally i think people like you who generally mock work such as this are pathetic and could not possibly match up to the effort put into this book. I would expect more of a man like yourself – to give a fake email address; what kind of person are you? In short: i do not find your critisism
      acceptable George.

      Regards,

      Sam

      p.s: I’m ecstatic and can’t wait until the book is officially released – It looks great Chris!
