Because OP is a faggot, forever and always.
The stars will burn out and give birth to new stars which, in turn, will burns out as well. The Galaxies will combine and dissipate, and eventually time itself will cease to exist. And the one truth we can hold on to is that OP will always be a faggot.

"Who we are" is a fruitless question, anyway. No one human life can possibly hope to make a mark on the rest of universe if hundreds of billions have yet to. We're better off focusing on ourselves and own isolated existences than to concern ourselves with the identity of others whose identity is defined by their own perspectives in the first places.

Still, a glance, a fleeting touch of someone else's life who suffers unique trials and victories, brought to you by a common interest and desire...

That's something.

Seeing Mars like that, from the surface, makes it seems so much more.... I don't know, real? Like its not just a rock orbiting The Sun but an actual planet.

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs.Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enough

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide

We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth

I like to think of it this way: since everything in this realm is recycled, we will see those times are the same components of our bodys and on some level our conscious have been used since life started on earth. in a way we are reborn over and over again. This is why I try to treat people with the respect they deserve because there are no other people, there is just me. we are one and all together, forever

>>580202380
From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity – in all this vastness – there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves." - Carl Sagan

holy hell dude, i cant do those.
I watched it once and, after not hving cried in 2 years, that just broke me. Dogs are my weak spot, seeing them in pain and dying is just too much for me (hurr pussy whatever)
I love my dog so damn much but I never really see him while im gone at uni for months at a time, hes really old too and I have nightmares of the day my parents call and say he died.

Fuck you anon. I am the biggest pussy about dogs.

I fucking love my dog, she's snuggled up to me right now. I don't have or want any kids, but my dog is going to have the best life I can give her because she always makes me feel good. I have been to the looney bin for suicide, see a shrink, get prescribed all kinds of drugs with annoying side affects. All my friends are scattered and have families of their own. But my fucking dog has been the best medicine since my sister got her for me for my depression. She makes me smile, laugh, and melts my heart every fucking day. She gets my lazy ass outside and not sit around in the dark and stew. I love my dog, she makes me feel like things aren't bad at all.

So anon, question. If you could do one thing that is technically and physically possible before you die, what would it be?

For me, it would be to go into outer space. How fucking amazing would it be to be in a space suit, hanging over the earth, while looking into space with no interference at all, just seeing space exactly how it is, no atmosphere or anything.

I think we’re living in a virtual reality.

Remember that time where you almost died? I think you probably did in one version of the game, however the one we continue in, we all somehow survive.

Money is like power-ups. You do stuff and get the ability to go to a new level – a holiday / place you’ve never been to before, etc.

The religion stuff is just back story. The guy you play in Doom, COD, Dark Forces, whatever looks human. A programmer made the character in his own image. Probably took him a week to get his code together. (I guess if we are in a virtual world, the ‘real’ world has computers far more powerful than the ones we use (or think we use), so time to make a game would be far easier.

>>580206573
The entire point of the thread is too realise that it doesnt matter what humans think or believe. Realize how fucking small and insignificant it all is to get so worked up over shit. You couldn't even let it go for 5 minutes, stupid people exist; everybody is born into a different perspective of consciousness. Let it go for just a little bit, because you are just another one of those persepctives.

>>580206156

>>580207383
Man I love looking up at the stars, it's why I love night so much. I could stare up at the sky for hours and just wonder about all the different crazy shit out there, the possibility of life too. It's just mind-boggling and amazing to me that all those lights in the sky have planets surrounding them each unique in their own way. Our knowledge of space is so pathetically small compared to what is out there. If we start colonizing other planets I'll be the first to sign up.

I’m in the UK. Usually the sky here is orange thanks to the glow of street lights.

It was the middle of the night and I was driving home over the Pennine Hills (in the middle of nowhere, so no light pollution). I had to stop the car to get out and look at the sky - it was so full of stars you I couldn’t make out any constellations. (I’m not great at them, but I can easily pick out Orion, Cassiopeia, The Big Dipper, use that to find the North Star, etc.)
I’ve never seen anything like it before or since. It was like looking into a nebula.

You don't seem to understand. Yes we are insignificant, but the little we know shouldn't fill you full of awe and wonder. It's 2014. We continue to wreck this planet like a college football team going at a passed out drunk girl during spring break in mexico. You're surrounded by idiots. True and honest idiots. They dont just have another perspective, they are willfully ignorant. When in order to save humanity it's going to take future Terra forming on earth I'm not particularly concerned with the cosmos.

This thread, and the thought I've had provoked from it has made me happier than I've been all week. Recently, I crashed my car, general life fuckery ensued, and my depression came back. I'd like to thank everyone here. Somehow, in more than a small way, I feel more whole. I guess it helped me put some things in perspective. We're all going to be okay, you know?

>>580207917
I dont think money on war is totally pointless.
Lots of huge discoveries have come from war and we maybe wouldnt be anywhere near what we know now.

I listened to a good podcast with Brian Cox and some other randomers about wether science needs war.

I know.

Suddenly all those little troubles don't seem so big.

War providers funding for science but it's hardly the primary source. If not for WW2 we would have had nuclear power plants in Germany by 1940.

Also war shuts down communication between scientific organizations. Making knowledge proprietary information of a given government.

The way Carl delivers this quote..

I can't describe how it makes me feel, but fuck does it have a massive affect on me every time

>>580209756
He was an excellent speaker, talented at sparking the imagination and inspiring awe and wonder in terms that anyone could understand.

There's a good reason why he's still remembered as one of the greatest popularizers of Science.

I still enjoy playing through the entire original Cosmos series just as background noise now and then, and for similar reasons I like listening to some old Feynman lectures and videos.

I've got a hella hard probabilistic modeling assignment to finish up tonight, but I kind of feel like I can do it after this thread.

I think I'm gonna go take a night walk before the sun comes up. Look at the sky for a bit. It's nice and cool out too.

>>580210151
Yeah, the original Cosmos is a regular pass time for me.. The science may be outdated in parts, but it was an incredible series.

Carl left too soon

do you think aliums somewhere in the universe are shitposting on their alium version of 4chan right this minute?

>>580210306
I know they do...
They have too...

>>580210302
Are you familiar with Richard Feynman? He was also a fantastic fellow and a great speaker, though a lot more self amused and, ah, eccentric.

If you like Sagan, you'd like Feynman, I think, though he's more physics and astronomy.

>>580209369

I wish... I wish a nigga would.

>>580210306
>GOG! I posted it again. Shit was so GLABNACKS!

>>580210486
more physics THAN astronomy, I meant.

Lots of faggotry goin on in here. I kinda like it

>>580210530
There was a really cool thread where everyone pretended they were from the future/aliums .

>>580210530
>there are alien NEETS posting on 4zorg right now

>>580210257
make sure to do it in the bad part of town
no point in being too careful in this black void
*touches balls while picturing you getting stabbed to death and having everyone get on with their equally meaningless moments without even being aware of your pathetic stuggle to hold onto a world that could easily get by without you*

>>580210306
They're posting pictures of us alongside "yoo rofl"

>>580210486
I am, his lecture on knowing vs understanding is probably one of my favorites.

>why don't you have a GLIZQOG right now 4zorg? I bet you can't even communicate with one

TFW alien contact is incredibly unlikely due to the distance and laws of physics including all currently accepted models of quantum, including ones which incorporate extra dimensional space and even highly improbable but popular multiverse and string theories. You can't communicate across such great distances in a timely manner, and even if we could its making the huge assumption that their technology took a similar path to our own. That they could receive the message or we for that matter. Let alone understand it.

>>580198985
sauce on pic? pls, I wanna know what city

>>580210306
I hope so, anon.

it's nice
i like it

the coolest thing the internets has to offer is going to youtube and typing in space documentary and getting hundreds of 10/10 results.

>>580201229
I love all the fucking pink shit around it. It's like a stupendous knight chess piece in a giant cosmic vagina.

>>580210908
meh we will have proof of other intelligent life in our lifetime. but you are right the process of communication will be much more difficult because of the limited speed of light.

>>580211262
Its an artists rendering. It really doesn't look like that irl bro
