For me it's black holes. I can't even look at one without feeling anxiety / fear, even when I know it's a video game and not real. It makes playing space strategy games a huge pain, since I have to keep modding them out.

What he said. SWIMMING is always the worst in games. Okay I don't even agree with "everything is fine until there is something in the water". Sometimes I don't know IF there is something in it. I remember party in Tomb Raider 1 where there was nothing in the water but I was shitting myself because I expected there to be something. In other parts there was something in the water. Water sucks because enemies won't be in front of you. They could be anywhere. Above, below, behind - you won't know. Swimming and diving in games was the worst. I remember the giant crocodile from Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb and later sharks as well - those sucked.

I have to admit I started with Condemned 2 and then played 1. You are right, 1 is better but a lot of things don't make sense in one and never get explained so I think you would end up being like
>HU WTF?
So I thought it was interesting that I got to play 2 first and understood a lot of things like the Oro being the weird cult and you are able to use your voice to destroy stuff and what not. I don't think 2 was a bad game. It was a pretty good game indeed with lots of great moments like that mean bear but that farm house in Condemned 1 is just amazing. Great finale. Seriously wish there would be a 3. I also never liked their main stream game FEAR which everyone loved so much and got so many parts...sad.

black holes aren't scary, it isn't like they suck things in. You don't get trapped in a black hole's gravity and get pulled in to it. Orbital mechanics don't work that way. You'd have to actively decelerate in to it.

they would but there would be very few stellar collisions even

I just wonder what happens to the black holes at the center of each of the galaxies, will they swallow each other? Some research suggests galaxies form around black hole so every one of the one trillion galaxies in the universe might have a black hole at the center

Imagine that, one trillion black holes, possibly.

We have recently discovered a galaxy that has no black hole in the center, so your information is outdated.

Absolutely not, that's why assumptions in astrophysics are usually avoided and I wouldn't say "every galaxy contains a black hole", but rather (from what we've seen, statistically, in our perimeter of the universe) the vast majority of them

Well in theory since it's possible that universes are possibly infinite in number once you got to the edge of the universe it is possible that other universes could be seen. This all theory mind you. Our universe is very likely in comparison to a Phoenix. The universe expands then begins to crunch into itself into a singularity. Then violently expand and it does this possibly infinitely. Meaning we currently right now could just be another iteration of this universes life cycle.

>Spacephobia: fear of outer space
>Heliophobia: fear of the sun
>Selenophobia: fear of the moon
>Siderophobia: fear of stars
>Cometophobia: fear of comets
> Meteorophobia: fear of meteors
>Cosmophobia: fear of the cosmos
>Kosmikophobia: fear of cosmic phenomenon

This is fucking hilarious learning about this because I developed some of these phobias myself last year during a really bad panic disorder episode caused by OCD which lasted for a few months. I never had these fears before and never feared space before that, and always wondered how those anons who say they do so in Space Engine threads could have those fears. Then it happened to me all because of my stupid OCD, which for awhile was just making me fear shit I never feared before.

I thought I would never be able to enjoy space again, despite being in love with space since childhood, I found that idea scarier than even the anxiety/fear I felt for awhile in response to these images/thoughts.

So yeah its a real thing but its just as nonsensical as any phobia is, and if you have OCD like me it might pop-up for awhile with a really bad episode of panic attacks and anxiety like it did for me, though I suspect it was aggravated by the anxiety meds I was taking at that time. The important thing is to realize its 100% irrational like any phobia, and not to indentify with it and allow it to be a part of you, don't let your anxiety deprive of you of enjoyment like that OP.

I don't believe in counterparts or mirror/parallel universes either, but that each multiverse has its own law of physics, many may be similar to ours, each one could be vastly different but there is no other "copy" of you out there, I think people who think like that have trouble grasping the mind-bending scales a multiverse opens up, especially if each multiverse is vastly different from ours.

Depends on thr size of the hole. Thr tidal forces change depending on the size of the hole. With massive black holes you can be passed the event horizon but still intact. Smaller ones will rip you apart before you reach them.

You don't need to go to to another universe to experience that.

There can be an infinity of numbers between 1 and 2 and you would never reach 2

So the idea of parallel universes like our own but with minor differences is interesting I think its unlikely, this is of course if multiverse theory is true even.

There's no "edge", universe is a "sphere", expanding non-stop. Even if it weren't expanding, you'll just see the other side of the universe. You can't look "outside" the universe. Think about a tesseract, but in sphere form.

>>385149917
That's not the "edge" of the universe. That's a deep field image, meaning you are looking back in time.

One of the earliest forms of objects in the universe, after protogalaxies.

If the hole is supermassive you can theoretically pass the event horizon fine (well except for the wall of plasma of the stuff that's orbiting there, but let's assume there is nothing). then you enter and nothing happens, except the radial space dimension is space like (you can only move towards the singularity, and your lightconne is now oriented towards the singularity, meaning that you can act only in stuff in "front" of you) and time is now spacelike which means that stuff that fell before and after you can possibly enter your lightcone, meaning you can see and interact with it

Light takes time to reach you.
The light you are seeing from very instant objects was emitted a very long time ago.

>>385153096
Yes.
Light doesn't travel instantly, light travels at 300.000km/s, which is still very fast (one photon can orbit Earth 7.5 times in one second), but space is REALLY huge.

The light from our own Sun takes 8 minutes to reach us.
That means, that if the Sun somehow vanished, for 8 minutes you wouldn't notice.
>>
>>385153096
yes. Light is insanely fast, but stars are so fucking far away that this light only gets to earth and into our eyeballs at a time that the stars are actually quite a far time ahead of us. If the rest of the stars in the universe were to somehow disappear for some reason we wouldn't know about it for around a month

literally any thing you look at is in the past because light propagates at c and not instantaneously, you're seeing objects several feet from you with a delay that could still reasonably be expressed with planck times, but the images of all the stars in the night sky are years old, hence the use of "lightyear" for these distances

this is also a partial simplification. For you that's their present in spacetime since you cannot define an absolute time. Saying what the star is now is senseless and works only in a simplified flat space and when there is also no relative velocity between the targets. You and a guy on a far away star can only agree about casual order of events, but the times between those events might vary depending on the observer

Pìc related are objects in their proper size, and how they would look like in our night sky if their light wasn't so dim.

And people said 50 years ago that by today most vehicles would be flying, not driving on ground. If there's one thing we learned it's that you can't make correct estimations for non-existent technology, especially when you have to account for political and economical factors. Our biggest technological booms were during war anyway, when lives were at stake, the government was directly funding it and human rights/morals were treated with a bit more leeway.

>The technology exists, but it would be a gigantic clusterfuck to implement such an infrastructure.

The technology "exists" just the way the technology exists for making jetpacks or artificial meat in grown labs.

Problem is it's a forced design, which doesn't take into account proper fuel, stability or actual usage. It was made for the sake of existing but it's not efficient in any shape or way, kinda like making a house out of planks and duct tape. The reasons for this though, are as you mentioned, lack of desire and need on anyone's part. The point I was trying to make though is that predictions aren't just wrong in the good way (less years than estimated) but also wrong in a bad way (a lot more years than estimated).

You are missing a massive amount. Matter didn't just pop up out nowhere. It gets created through processes that in some instances takes millions of years. Galaxies live and they die. Same for stars.

>More recent research has however shown that the current slow rotation rate of Venus is not detrimental to the planet's capability to support an Earth-like climate. Rather, the slow rotation rate enables the formation of thick cloud layers on the side of the planet facing the sun, which raises planetary albedo and acts to cool the global temperature to Earth-like levels, despite the greater proximity to the sun. According to calculations, maximum temperatures would be just around 35 °C, given an Earth-like atmosphere.[24][25] Speeding up the rotation rate would therefore be both impractical and detrimental to the terraforming effort. A terraformed Venus with the current slow rotation but a more Earth-like atmosphere would result in a global climate similar to warmer versions of Alaska or Siberia with "day" and "night" periods each about 58 days long. The "day" would resemble a short summer with warm humid climate, a heavy overcast sky and ample rainfall. The "night" would resemble a short winter with quite cold temperature and snowfall. There might be periods with more temperate climate and clear weather at sunrise and sunset.[24]

That's not how it has ever worked in the history of forever. Sure it's backed by research and data, but it's all just theoretical anyway. There's no actual application to using it besides having nothing to do.

Take "dark matter" for example. Math says it's there. But the only evidence that it's there is equations made on one planet by one people with one kind of math with one perspective. And since we're kind of stuck on this rock, it's fairly pointless to ponder it.

Not really. A supermassive black hole has same amount of tidal force with earth at the edge of the event horizon. What crossing event horizon means is possible trajectories you can take never leaves the edge of it, unless you can travel faster than light. That does not mean you have to be ripped to shreds. You will, eventually, as you go deeper into the hole though.

If black hole's mass is low enough, you'll disintegrate well before you reach the horizon.

I'm not sure, but maybe something with radiation resistant bacteria or plants? Basically you'd need something that had a net waste product of water vapor and other gas and used the martian soil as food. To my knowledge there's nothing like that now, but 500 years from now? Maybe? Let me put it this way, we're closer to terraforming a planet than we are to generation ships or warp drive. I could see us trying to terraform a planet or moon within a few hundred years. I don't see us leaving the solar system for thousands.

The point was it's foolish to assume we even have a grasp on what's actually happening in the universe and it's time wasting to try and figure it out at this point in history. I don't think you know what strawman means.

>More recent research has however shown that the current slow rotation rate of Venus is not detrimental to the planet's capability to support an Earth-like climate. Rather, the slow rotation rate enables the formation of thick cloud layers on the side of the planet facing the sun, which raises planetary albedo and acts to cool the global temperature to Earth-like levels, despite the greater proximity to the sun. According to calculations, maximum temperatures would be just around 35 °C, given an Earth-like atmosphere.[24][25] Speeding up the rotation rate would therefore be both impractical and detrimental to the terraforming effort. A terraformed Venus with the current slow rotation but a more Earth-like atmosphere would result in a global climate similar to warmer versions of Alaska or Siberia with "day" and "night" periods each about 58 days long. The "day" would resemble a short summer with warm humid climate, a heavy overcast sky and ample rainfall. The "night" would resemble a short winter with quite cold temperature and snowfall. There might be periods with more temperate climate and clear weather at sunrise and sunset.[24]

Sounds comfy, fuck Mars, lets terraform Venus

>If black hole's mass is low enough, you'll disintegrate well before you reach the horizon.

I think you meant high enough.
And tidal forces will always kill you before you cross event horizon, even if it's literally as you hit it. Crossing the event horizon means gravity will be pulling you inwards at a rate faster than the speed of light, since light can't escape it. The acceleration to that speed would rip your body apart. The difference in acceleration between the first part of your body crossing and the last would rip you apart. Even if the acceleration up to this point was slow you would still die before crossing the point from g forces alone.

>>385162608
But then what do you feed the bacteria? You still need the raw mass necessary to fill the entire planet, probably billions, maybe even trillions of kilograms of mass. Where does it all come from? You can just shit it out, you need to eat first.
>>385162667
And my point is that it's foolish to say with any certainty that it's pointless to research these things. We have no idea what applications this stuff could have in the future, good or bad or nothing. And to assume that we're just guessing blindly is simply ignorant. And how is

>>385162869
Not true. I'm a phone poster so I can't type up a lot but check wiki

Only the difference in acceleration across a body destroys it and for big BH there is little difference until you are past the event horizon

>>385162937
>venus and titan are fart planets

No wonder no one wants to colonize venus.
>>
>>385162869
Not really. The acceleration could be like, 0.99999999c just above the horizon, 1c at, and 1.00000001 just after, so the difference is very small even though the accelerations are very high.

I imagine if you had a society that was able to cross the boundaries between universes, you wouldn't be fighting with piddly ships anymore. You'd more likely be throwing whole stars at relativistic speeds around or collapsing your opponents colony's stars into black holes using focused energy from light years away.

Shit gets super crazy at those tech levels.

>>385162917
>But then what do you feed the bacteria?
Genetically engineer them to use some sort of photosynthesis that uses Mars's atmosphere and soil as well as sunlight. Sufficiently advanced science is no different than magic. What I just said sounds like "oh we'll just magic up some bacteria that do what we want" but a lot of our current tech would sound like magic to someone 100 years ago. I have no doubts that tech 500 years from now could do whatever we want considering we're already researching how to make custom bacteria.
>>
>>385163719
But then you're not adding the necessary mass. All you'd do is make the planet even smaller as you transfer the dirt into atmosphere, and it'll blow away even faster. Eventually it'd just all be gone as dust. You can't science your way around the fact that there's just not enough matter in Mars. You'd need to import it from somewhere.
Conservation of mass, and conservation of energy, aren't negotiable.

the biggest problem with mars is that its core is dead, so terraforming it has no point, since we cant get a good atmosphere on it until we can restart its core.

I'm also on the phone so I understand
I also just realized I'm wrong, the human body could withstand intense speeds providing it accelerates slowly over time and not suddenly, so with a large enough event horizon it wouldn't really be an issue. Sorry mate, my bad

>>385164036
There's a hypothesis that says that Mercury used to be Mars' core.
>>
>>385164036
That was my first point too. And the problem with that is that the planet simply isn't massive enough to sustain that kind of heat in the core, which brings us back to my point about where the extra mass comes from. We could crash asteroids into it, but it'd take millions of years to build up the mass necessary.

No you'd need a summer clothing for 58 days and winter clothing for the next 58

Honestly the more I learn about how terraformed Venus might be like the more comfy it sounds, average temperature would be great, it would be less warm than Earth even on its hottest days. Venus actually has an atmosphere for one, so its not a dead planet like Mars its just an atmosphere of crushing pressure and heat.

I have been out of the space science loop for a while but last I knew I thought it was commonly accepted that when the solar system was forming a roughly mars sized object hit us and the moon and seasons was a side effect of that collision

You might be thinking of the Moon. Something about the size of Mars hit Earth, and the resulting debris became the Moon.
And my point was that even if we could throw around asteroids, it'd take a fuckload to add enough mass. Venus is a better candidate for terraforming. Also the energy required to shift that much mass is unimaginable.
