Just to give you a little perspective on scale. If you drove a car at 1,000mph at the sun, it would take 36 hours to get there. That is how massive our solar system is.

I thought that was a myth. I'm pretty sure you can survive space long enough until you run out of air. The real problem in space is random solar storms hitting you with lethal doses of radiation with no atmosphere or any protection from it

The Boötes void in space is 330 million light years in diameter and is classed as a supervoid in space, within the entire space of the void there are only 60 observable galaxies whereas there should be approximately 2,000. One theory of this is that there is a T3 civilisation(Kardashev scale) in which they would be able to harvest power from galaxies which would attribute the the lack of galaxies in that part of space and they would hide their activities with a dyson shell.

Freefall=/=falling
In orbit your traveling with a perpendicular force(gravity) that affects your direction only. You wouldn't feel anything because everything your traveling with is moving the exact same speed/direction.

You're right that your not at zero g though, it's just not as significant a force as it is on Earth

There is a star called betelgeuse that is due to go in to supernova anytime between now and 100 million years from now, and when it happens the light from the stars demise will mean that Earth will appear to be in daylight for 2 weeks straight. No darkness when night falls.

That the universe will probably never go dark and quiet.

You're right. I could've explained that better
>>
>>724926944

I am that OP, and to get to the sun you have to kill velocity... although you can do that with a gravity assist, too... but that's not why you should go to Pluto if you want to go to the sun efficiently.

It's the Oberth Effect.

>>
>>724926944
No bullshit. That's how both voyagers got out of our solar system. By flying super close to each planet, using its gravitational pull to increase speed, then sling-shot out of its orbit. They do it on all missions to other planets.

It's not bullshit. Dark matter is the only thing that allows the equations to work. Either dark matter is a thing and we'll figure it out or its not and the equations are wrong. But the equations work in all sorts of other circumstances so its likely "dark matter" exists.

the most interesting thing I know about space:
Due to the theory of relativity there is a distance where one could look upon the earth and still see dinosaurs.. not only that but if one had a spaceship and travelled at the correct speed from the correct distance they could watch all of our worlds development through the telescope
It's like how the star light is there though the star may be... just reversed.

Fascinating fact: the universe is not actually big. It's quite cozy. People think it's big because they compare it to smaller things, like themselves, but that's like comparing a dwarf to a microbe and then saying, 'that dwarf is fucking huge.' The universe can only be compared to other universes, and as such, it's not really large at all.

What fucks me over is that it just exists...

Like it wasnt created or made or come in to being at a specific time aside from big bang.

It doest exist inside something. there is no end. there is no wall that you have to stop at and even if there was whats on the other side??

Where the fuck did it come from. My house exists cause it was built on a street in a city in a state in a nation on a planet in the solar system in a galaxy in a universe and then what???

We just have to accept the fact that we will never know and we dont have the mental capacity to do so.

there IS more that we will never know. there could very well be someone typing this same message at this very time on 4chanplutox24 for all the fuck we know.

we have to wrap our heads around the fact that things can exists without ever being created... like wtf.

its energy, all energy has to come from and go somewhere or so we are told but nope ...

Because explosions require energy. If there was nothing before "the big bang", not even atoms, how could an explosion happen?
>>
venus' day is longer than it's year and also rotates the opposite of all other planets

our universe may be in a false vacuum, and if it transitioned into a true (more stable) vacuum, everything as we know it would be destroyed. current tests put it in a metastable state but more discoveries into quantum mechanics may make this lean to more stable. google "vacuum metastability event" for more info.

eventually every star in the universe will burn out and they'll be a period of nothing but black holes. after they eventually "die" (via hawking radiation), nothing will be left but so-called iron stars, of which none exist yet because not enough time has passed.

quantum mechanics suggests that sub-atomic particles can 'tunnel' through space and time. it also suggests that our universe may not be the only one.

anti-matter exists and is just as real as ordinary matter. obviously it doesn't exist for long, and is extremely hard to produce. as soon as it comes into contact with ordinary matter it and the matter are destroyed.

Its the only thing that's ever made me question my renunciation of God. Still sometimes does. It's the closest thing we have to an explanation. Also the closest thing we will ever have to an explanation in our lifetimes and our children's lifetimes and theirs and theirs.

I get seriously upset thinking about what if civilization goes extinct before we ever know what's "beyond" the edges of the universe or if it's just some kind of amazing thing we can't even fathom at this moment in time with how our brains work.

It's estimated that there are AT LEAST two hundred billion galaxies and each each of those galaxies contains many billions of stars (Our Milky Way for example has around 100 thousand million stars). This means we can predict that there are around...

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets in our universe - Each of these with some chance to spawn life.

Not a fact, but a question:

Since light moves at the speed of light, it experiences no time, correct? From that perspective, it is emitted and absorbed simultaneously?

So why, then, do we see the photon travel in a path? That would seem to suggest that there were times where it is neither being emitted or absorbed; in other words, TIME and not instantaneous.

I'm betting that dark matter will be explained away by learning that neutrinos have more mass than we believed
>>
The gravity of everything affects you it's just that the gravitational force of most of it is so small that it can't be felt. 5% of the known universe is matter. The universe may be expanding infinitely but the force of gravity be enough to slow down the acceleration until the universe starts to contract and from all the mass centred in one point again there could be enough energy to start expanding again. The reason that won't happen is because the acceleration is increasing, there is a force we can't detect accelerating the different galaxies away from each other and this is dark energy. In a few thousand to a few hundred thousand years we might not be able to view anymore stars in the sky because they might have accelerated too far from us.

if you we're a photon you might experience your whole life in a single instant. Since time essintaly dosen't move at that speed. So perchance, just speculation here tbh. But if that photon was conscious it might feel like it exists indefinatly or for a single instant...

the reason we can see it. simply put, is because' we're not the one moving at the speed of light. We see it pass by from our frame of refrence. But from the photons frame of refrence. Time might never even move.

Yes, but that elephant's size could be quantified as large or small compared to other standards. as the universe is massive relative to everything we can observe or imagine, so the elephant would be diminutive compared to something larger than it. the point of my argument is that size, in the terms we are using it, is just a comparison of whatever you are measuring to a standard conception of how large something is. as the universe is the largest thing in existence, one cannot accurately describe it as diminutive or small

I'm going to explain this anyway, because, who knows. Maybe /b/ will discover the true cause

When we observe a rotating galaxy, there are three factors in determining the speed of curved travel: distance from the center (also known as radius), velocity, and mass.

A is what Einstein's equations predicted, but B is observed

So, because we have telescopes and can physically measure the velocity and radius, we assume mass is wrong. Hence dark matter

It's bullshit though, and normie astrophysicists are too scared to say Einstein was wrong to the science community.

I had an interesting theory about Venus.

I believe humanity and life in general originated from Venus. Hear me out.

The sun is always expanding. At one point in the distant, distant past, Venus' orbit around the sun was probably almost identical to earth's. The temperature, the distance, maybe there was even an atmosphere. It's argued that earth has life because its the exact correct distance from its heat source.

Well, at one point Venus had to have been more like Earth than it is now. You have to at least agree with that.

Now, say humanity evolved enough to realize in a trillion years or whatever, the sun would grow enough (like we do now) to where it would completely engulf Venus' orbit. It'll expand in diameter so much it'll completely gobble the planet up. Mercury first.

We knew this, so we built a space ship. We flew 24 females and 24 males from Venus to earth just before the sun got too big and started eating up what was then an Earth-like atmosphere on Venus.

Where the evidence you ask? Obviously this is trillions of years in the making. Billions upon billions of generations of life. The spacecraft that could have once landed on earth from Venus would have long since disintegrated underground. The bacteria we carried room Venus eventually flourished into all of the species on earth and so on.

So that's where we essentially came from. We are truly from Venus.

Further more, we will have to do this again in the future. In about 3 trillion years the sun will expand again to where it will shred earth's atmosphere. At this point in the future, Mars could possibly develop an atmosphere due to higher temperatures. We know ice is there already, so it's entirely possible.

Its a fact We will all some day have to evacuate Earth if we want mankind to resist extinction.

The evidence for parallel universes are that quantum computers work much faster than they should and it's believed that they are doing the calculations in the parallel dimensions or something like that

I think it's called the doppler effect. Basically the faster something is moving away from you the more red it appears to be. Apparently thats what they use to find stars with planets, as the planets orbit the star is pulls the star off center alittle bit, so it just kinda wobbles in the center as a result. What they do is take measurements of the light and determine whether or not is has that wobble that tells them it might be another planetary system.

The doppler effect is when a source of frequency is moving relative to an observer than since the wave speed doesn't change and is always 3*10^8 than the wavelength changes, If the object is moving towards us the frequency becomes higher and the wavelength lower, if the object is moving towards us the frequency is decreased and the wavelength increases. Since red has a higher wavelength people think that it just turns red but it could be microwaves into radio waves or gamma into x-ray for example

>Because explosions require energy.

It was not an explosion in the conventional sense. It was an expansion of space combined with a very brief inflationary period that occurred less than a second into it. Likening it to an explosion is a metaphor to help people wrap their heads around an overly simplified version of the event. Clearly it does not work, as it is not simplified enough for simpletons.

>If there was nothing before "the big bang",

The very idea of nothingness is completely meaningless in physics. The Big Bang did not 'create' everything. It merely reordered the existing energy of a singularity.

So a ring box is large because it contains a ring, if we are to compare the box to its contents. I don't disagree.

You're right - the odds of a planet having just the right conditions to produce life could be very VERY small.

All the numbers I threw out just show that there are like a billion trillion planets...

When you're dealing with that sample size - very rare shit happens all the time.

If the odds of a planet having life are 1 in a trillion? There's still a billion life forms out there.

Many could be simple microbes. Some could be complex but not advanced enough to produce radio waves, etc. so they'd be undetectable to us. And some could have become far more advanced than us (considering the late start life got on earth) and would have died out by now.

Now add to that that the universe is so vast that even if life is "everywhere" we may never stumble across another life form. Or we could have a space shit land on the White House lawn tomorrow.

Life may be damn near impossible (Though keep in mind we're composed of the most common elements in the universe not some rare exotic matter) but there' just so much opportunity in a universe the size of ours and life may come in such a variety of types...
