Members Chrisjd Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7891132.stm Pretty interesting imo... Even though my knowledge on this subject is not much, I find the possibilities of what could be in our universe extremely interesting. Whenever I try to think about how expansive the universe is, and how it all started, and what could have come before it, I feel like I am dying, like my mind can't handle something so complex and is about to explode. Strange feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members White_Van Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 It's just common sense. If the universe is as big as claimed, there is statistically no way there could not be life outside our planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spizzledude Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 It's all lies I tell ya! Every Old Testament reader knows that the stars are just little holes in a huge canvas overhead letting God's light shine through. Damn Democrats and their lies!!!

Members starsnuffer Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Now consider this: That is just one galaxy. There are many galaxies in the universe. If each galaxy in the universe was the size of a pea, they would fill the entire volume of Mile High stadium (imagine the stadium as a huge bowl to hold the peas). Which means, since we're one of many, that there is no reason why we should be special or safe from imminent destruction. Our world is fragile. Handle with care. -W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tube_Tone Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Yea trying to absorb all this feels like it will make you brain explode, research string theory or what scientists say about parallel universes, also einsteins theory of relativity which is a bit easier to Understand than others, it basically proves time travel is possible. ohh yea and a time machine already exists but they are only able to send small electrons into the future or the past as far back as when the time machine was built. yep...

Members starsnuffer Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Is that really an accurate representation of how large the universe is though? Seems like a hard thing to estimate. It's accurate according to the current knowledge that we have, assuming that knowledge is correct. Given what we know of physics we can estimate the amount of matter in our universe and extrapolate the number of galaxies based on our observations of the size and makeup of the galaxies we can observe. The universe is expanding, however the amount of matter remains finite. -W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SexWithRobots Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Thinking about space in general is insane, cause we know life as being confined to our planet and our planet being inside space, so it makes you feel like space is inside something but its just this massive open existence, its so weird. Or that we commonly rationalize something by knowing that there is a beginning and end to things whether physical or geometrical. Space is something beyond this. Imagine how {censored}ing awesome it would be to find another planet similar to earth and land on it and explore it. So damn cool, I hope I am around when something like this happens.
