honeo Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Indeed, I don't believe most people understand how massive the Universe even is. Like, according to the Big Bang theory, which could be false, of course, the Universe has been moving for 14.5 billion years at the speed of light...Do the math on that distance. :P Yeah according to this Antares is like 1/trillionth of a pixel.

How is the universe moving and where is it moving? In a liquid substance? Emptiness? Is it floating? It just crossed my mind that the concept of "endless" is impossible to grasp. There always must be something out of "nothingness". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zargo_VI Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 That's insane. I knew that there were planets out there that are bigger than Earth and Jupiter, but not THAT big. :shock: Does anyone have a link to the 3100x3100px pictures as mentioned in the ytmnd? :Here you go http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/db/2005 ... ll_jpg.jpg There are many more images of that kind on Hubble's site :) If you have a goal, go for it :D Work hard, be proud and be yourself ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeah_you_are Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Not just size, but the numbers are amazing too. If your in chemistry you learn about a unit called the mole. Yes, the mole. The mole represents 6.022*10^23, or 60220000000000000000000. Pretty big number. Well thats how many atoms are in 1 gram of a pure substance. If 6 billion people counted one atom a second that would take 1 million years to complete. We now belive that there are 10^500 universes due to some recent discoverys on a huge scale. Lets take that one gram, and multiply it times 10^500 universes. Wow. Try and calculate the actual not scientific notation number of atoms are in one universe, let alone 1-^500. Talk about busy on a friday night. If at first you dont suceed, then you fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anesthesia Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/db/2005/28/images/b/formats/full_jpg.jpg There are likely thousands of galaxies in that image, each containing thousands, if not millions of planets... And yet some people say extra-terrestrial life doesn't/can't exist. And yet some people think that all of this was created for us. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

folmer_veeman Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 it's really really small and really cool that there are so many galaxies in such a small place, maybe there are intelligent lifeforms in one of the galaxies......

Tigra00 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I think personally that it's safe to say that since the material is so vast, that the chances that there are not life elsewhere is very small, not the other way around. That's the way I see it anyways. I believe that anything that isn't bipedal will never be "intelligent" in the same sense we are, however. Think of it...Could you imagine use trying to do stuff if we were all...I dunno'...Lions? Lions with Human brains...We wouldn't even open a friggin' door...Everything would be so different we wouldn't even be able to advance this far. Our dexterity has played a huge part in our evolution into what we are today. But that's just what I think.

Since when did the number of feet matter when it comes to intelligence/tool-using/dexterity? I'll cheerfully buy that a handlike structure would - if not be required, at least highly useful - but feet...? *scratches head* IMHO, a quadruped does not exclude some sort of gripping limb.

michiel2 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 There's also a theory that the universe is the same as earth. When you come at the end you also come at the begin. Like a circle. But that would be boring. :P At least, I think that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trapical Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Wow, all this talk about how big the galaxy is, and then knowing the Universe contains trillions of galexies!!! Its insane!! Oh and Popular Science now believes there is more then one universe. Several in fact. They predict there are actually around 10^500 universies just as big or bigger then ours. And they all have their own laws of physics. ...*head explodes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapical Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 By the way, and I the only one really craving to play Spore right now? I mean in the Civilization stage when you get to space you can click on any or the stars you see and you will go there. There are suposed to be like 100 million planets you can visit, each one designed by another player somewhere and now a copy of it is under CPU control. Oh Maxis, why did you you tempt us with the E3 video when its not released until July 2007! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
