Take some time to zone out of your cynical reality and just think about it a little at least.

Maybe because it's nothing....
>>709799203
I buy one. You've convinced me of the pleasure to own one of those pretty awesome twinkling spaces. Delivery time, shipping costs?
>>709798189
Actually offtimes the thought scares me and saddens me... the idea that i will never be able to see any of those planets/clusters etc is heart-breaking.. we are so limited god dammit.. wish i was born in 500 years or so
>>709798189
I agree. The immensity is what attracts me to it. We're 24 trillion miles from our nearest interstellar neighbor. There are stars out there (betelguese) that would reach Jupiter's orbit if they replaced our sun. And even that is tiny compared to most. I Fucking love space.
Any fellow Planetary Society members here?
>>709799927
Actually its everything you faggot

I'm part of the space, I'm fucking incredible

Yeah, this makes me sad too. I'd give anything to live in a Firefly-esque time.

Learn astral projection and you can see whatever you want
Its just so massive and the forces are incredibly powerful.
>>709798189
space is pretty cool
>>709800916
And you're made up of matter formed in stars. The iron in your blood was made in the heart of a dying star as it went supernova.
>>709800971
But what if it's only a very small part of something that is actually not very big in comparison to other things
>>709798189
I find it incredible but I'm stupid as shit and don't know anything about it. Feel free to drop random facts.

fuck space what about the fucking OCEAN????????
>>709801073
Our galaxy is 100,000 light years across.
It has around a billion stars, each likely with its own planets.
Our nearest neighbor is 4.3 light years away.
One light year is 6 trillion miles.
Our solar system, everything inside the Oort cloud, is 1 light year across.
More?

Religion has been drastically misinterpreted and construed. I was raised Christian, although I strayed from that about three years ago. I never really tried too hard to live a 'Christian' lifestyle, but I abandoned it all together when I discovered how badly it has been twisted. Essentially though it is right in a way. We are all sons of God in a sense, but what Christianity fails to teach is that God is the Universe. Science can confirm this if they looked at it the way I do. They have already discovered that there is intelligent thought in everything that exists. Everything has though/life/energy. That energy, which permeates all, and is in fact all, is God. Meaning we are God, we are the Universe. We are the thought that exists everywhere, but we have tethered a small part of us into a capsule in order so that we may experience things individually and from one perspective. After we 'die' though, that is no longer the case. We will exist everywhere, which means you can be in whichever part of the Universe you choose to be in and at any time.

Other cool stuff
The sun is bigger than you imagine!
It's so huge and dense that Light takes 200 years to travel from the centre to the outside.
Then, in empty space, in 8 minutes it reaches us, and everything around, everything you can see it's only because of incredibly tiny particles bouncing off and reaching your eyes.
This also means that when you look at any star, your eyes see the light that started his trip maybe thousands of years ago. Some starts in the sky maybe are dead currently, but you'll still able to see their light.
Space's amazing
My last hope is to come in contact with aliens..so that they'll give us ufo to ride.. we'll probably start shooting planets for fun but.. w/e
Is it true space is a collection of infinitesimaly small discrete points sharing information with each other in constant flux and that the laws of the universe are manifestations of how these points are programmed and share information with one another?

Take a look in this video.. the fact that space expands means that in a few billion years-if we are still here- there will be no evidence of the existance of other galaxies due to light never reaching us... we will see only blackness.. we will be alone

Light actually takes around a million years to escape to the sun's surface. The rest is spot on. Love it.
>>709802374
that one is pretty much useless before level 40.
>>709798189
space is a mysterious thing. We dont know what it is, how big it is or how old it is. It could be everything, like the combination of atoms of a water molecule of a world that is bigger than we ever could immagine. 1 billion years in our universe could be a second in the bigger universe. Its realy hard to undestand what our position is, our being, the existence of the whole everything.
Its really sad that humanity will never be able expand onto the stars because of our materialistic desires and just the simple human way of thinking. Religion, Consumerism and politics limit the humen being so much that the life becomes a every day routine with the same stagnant activities.
For us to reach into the space and colonize planets we would need a one world government with one religion, one mindset and one goal. Nobody is working against others, no conflicts slowing down progress, one way to make decisions and everybody works towards that goal.
To bad that will never happen. People would rather buy the new iphone today than go to space in 200 years.
>>709803187
So you realize that space is so big, and so full of everything not "rocks bumping into each other" that there's a very good chance it's already happening somewhere.

Shit like this boggles my mind that people don't think aliens exist somewhere out there.
>>709798189
I love it more than anything but at the same time it depresses me now. All this wonder and mystery and fascination and yet we put so little into time and effort into it. Our species is largely a failure. Most of those in power in place like, the USA especially, are more concerned with profits and fossil fuels. Just look at all the social problems there are too, this place is fucked. A big part of me hopes we don't expand our bullshit to the rest of the universe if our species will continue to be like this in the future.
>>709803715
We didn't get our independence a million years ago.
>>709803652

It takes the light 200 years or so to escape the sun. 8 minutes to travel to earth. That's about the same time when ameri fags got independence, no? And by that I mean like 1870 - 1800
>>709803907
No, most Americans believe the universe is 6000 years old. We're on the other end of the retard spectrum.
>>709803812
No ? What the fuck, dude... I saw a pic today on kikebook that we got it 1.000 years ago. So, a million years ago, we weren't independent and free like now.Are you saying we're not free yet, or we got it a bit sooner ?

Wow, I've never even considered that. the light is a product of the internal fusion, so it might be possible. Gotta hit the books tonight.

>>709804651
I never forget it. What's your point?
>>709803103
Also, you can't travel through a black hole, and by you can't i mean matter. Your atoms will get very, very fucked up near the event horizon (point of non-return, gravity toooo strong). And we don't actually know if there is even a though, like, maybe actually it's just a incredibly tiny point with infinite (not actually) mass?
Anyway, more cool stuff about black holes. There will be a time where all the starts will eventually die out, and slowly converging into near black holes.
Then, even black holes will die, for what is knows as Hawking Radiation. Incredibly slowly, black holes will just fade away into the nothing. At that point, time won't mean anything. Nothing will change.

Eh, it's possible, but the computing power required would be unreal. You'd have to harness the energy of stars, and many of them, to run that.
>>709804718
It's actually quite difficult, for a star to be operational it needs a balance of gravity and fusion. So if the star is created then the force of gravity would be felt automatically. Meaning that you would feel it but not be able to physically see it? This is kinda interesting.
An auntie blew my mind when I was around 8 or so telling me there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on Earth. I got to return the favor a few years ago telling her it's now thought that every star has at least one planet orbiting it. THERE ARE MORE PLANETS IN THE UNIVERSE THAN THERE ARE STARS!!!!!
https://youtu.be/7e5-0t0pTF0
>'I did my own research by studying the area i live in, looked at insects on the ceiling and wondered how the great force of gravity gave them immunity from being ripped from the ceiling and squashed to the floor, this made me realise along with aeroplanes being allowed to fly etc, that there is no such thing as gravity.'

did you want to quote someone or...?
>>709804948
Or perhaps another big bang will occur and start a new universe... perhaps all is a cycle. though as a human i cant perceive the "where" the universe is and where this explosion occurs.. aghhh
>>709805197
Exactly. The fusion wants to blow the star apart, but the gravity is too much to allow it. Not bad for the weakest of the forces.
>>709805197
>>709804718
>>709804430
stars start out as a giant cloud of gas, which collapses to a point and lets out a very visible explosion when the fusion reaction begins, blowing away excess gas..
this sounds bananas to me
>>709805359
I quoted someone, Here, another:
>'It is so easy to tell shit from cake, but just not for all.. - Ask yourself, how can water, witch Always lay horizontal, hence the name, and place the water on the ball so it stays there. -No, one can't do it, for it is impossible to do. ..
The Earth is Flat, and has always been that ! - It`s just in front of you..'
Newton was wrong, he discovered nothing !!!
>>709804977
Definitely possible, but that means that the simulation will live in is a simpler version of the "real" world as it's impossible to simulate a world with equal or more complexity.
https://youtu.be/DZGINaRUEkU
>>709804921
Perhaps you should Google "The Galaxy Song" and watch it on Youtube.
>>709805583
And those clouds are sometimes thousands of light years across. But you can see this happening right now with a telescope of you live above 40° latitude. The Orion nebula is churning out stars like a motherfucker. And the Beehive Cluster is a big group of stars that are moving around a fixed gravitational center.
Here's some proper science to counteract some bullshit that I see floating around.
The stars you see are not dead. I read a paper showing that the average distance of a visible star is ~550 light-years, so you're seeing it ~550 light-years ago. The most distant object you can see with the naked eye is probably the Andromeda galaxy, which is about 2,000,000 light-years away.
Stars live for an incredibly long time. The Sun, a typical main sequence star, will live for 10,000,000,000 years. The shortest-lived stars may live for only a few tens of millions of years, but that still means that most objects that you see in the sky are still alive.
>>709805655
but what if the "real world" we are being simulated in is itself a simulation? and what if the scientists in that simulation discovered that they are living in a simulation, and discovered some kind of stack overflow to borrow power from the REAL real world to run our simulation?
>>709805583
How do you know if it makes a visible explosion?
>>709805886
That old "the stars you see are dead" bullshit is what drove me to study astronomy. The reality of what's going on is much sexier.
>>709805643
i dont know really but what does a human have in his head if he makes statements like that. Just how ignorant, close minded and unlogical do you have to be to believe in stuff that you say. How do they even function in every day life? This is a mystery.
Also there is the factor of ,,the earth is flat, overlords rule and im just a science experiment/peasant''. How depressing is that?
I feel this song is appropriate for this discussion! If anyone has seen The Fountain then you know that the last scene with the star exploding is simple magnificent!

>>709805501
Space is expanding, faster than light, that's for sure. Maybe one day everything will bouce back to the centrer to start the cycle, maybe the expansion will literally, literally tear our atoms apart. Or, maybe there will be a cold ending.
I think, there is something about subatomic particles, that we don't know, and about how the "universe" and our dimension works in general
I think, that the secret of Big Bang and of out end is just there, out of our reach.
>>709805946
Supernovae. That's when a star dies. The light produced outshines the star's entire galaxy during the explosion. Anything nearby is reduced to nothing, in a sense.

The current most accepted theory stands that there are fields all over the universe, each for every fundamental particle. Kind of like a still lake. The excitement of that field (or noticeable big splash in the pound) is what most people call a particle.

I mean it's almost 100% definitely a natural phenomena, comet broken up, or a protoplanetary disc or something, but if I was to dream, the ideal situation would be that we discover certain radio frequencies that are being broadcast from the star. They would be entirely perplexing and indecipherable at first (for hundreds of years possibly), but they would hav regularities and other elements that would suggest they were not caused naturally. With the knowledge the signal isn't natural we would develop radio telescopes specialised for recieving this signal in the best detail possible, and we would then commit computing power and the best minds in the world to making as much sense of it as possible.
Who knows what it would be. But it's fun to think about. Would it be like trying to figure out Alien Twitter? If a civilisation is advanced enough to create a structure that surrounds their entire sun, what level are they on politically, morally, socially? What do they care about, and what would their need to broadcast be?
Seems like communicating through electromagnetic signals is the way to do it though aye? Other more esoteric ways like gravitational waves seems unnecesarily difficult. So yeah, radio analysis I reckon is our best shot. Don't think SETI has found anything yet though.
OP here. Only just come back to this thread since starting it.
Space is so incomprehensively vast. Quadrillions of miles in any direction and still just an empty vacuum in some places. Imagine how the density of matter decreases as you travel closer to the edge of the universe... How from here we can see super clusters of trillions of stars and galaxies, yet at the edge there will be no more sources of light than you can count on one hand, all 13 billion years old. Nothing else but darkness.
Space is the most romantic thing for me. I've only really been infatuated with it over the past couple years, which sucks because it only makes me think of my ex at the same time. She loved it. It's what convinced me to study physics.
Does anyone have any more HD photographs of space? All the pictures I provided were taken by the Hubble space telescope. No photoshop.

Actually I think this guy is a total boss. SEems like he's done a fuckload of interesting things with his life, and his analysis of science/science fiction ideas seems better than vast majority, including most shit scifi movies that are made. He makes fun of his voice too.

>>709808795
>Seems like communicating through electromagnetic signals is the way to do it though aye?
not sure about that. light seems far too slow for any effective communication to happen between solar systems. maybe open a secure channel in sub-space?
>>709808984
That picture is just straight up beauty to me. I want to just be able to magnify further and further and keep it HD.

Dude... it's b, what did you expect? Also prove you're an astrophysicist. Tell us what your most excited about in space science right now. I'll be able to tell if your lying because I'm smart.
>>709809201
any recent news about quantum entanglement?

nah, the expansion is accelerating
the universe will rip itself apart when the expansion reaches the speed of light
>>709809144
Pff my bad. Say fuck it, YOLO lets just put billions into a space program that we have limited understanding over. Will take years to construct. Will risk lives. Gg. Why you might ask? Because anon called me a faggit.

ausfag here, the sun doesn't follow that path here
>>709809201
I'm only pop sci dude, so don't really know, but my feel is that speed of light = speed of causality, so probably not possible for faster than light communication. I reckon space being ridiculously vast and difficult to communicate/travel through is probably just a reality of being alive in this universe.
Maybe wormholes, or quantum enganglement for FTL coms in the future, but I reckon probably not. Any proper sci fags about who wanna tell me I'm wrong?

alright hear me out
this might be a major breakthrough right here
what if "dark energy" is the push force from the fusion of stars? pushing against each other - more forcefully than the gravity?
if that were the case.. the universe would begin to collapse after the stars burn out..
>>709808584
This Nigger knows what he's talking about. I second this types of shit.
I love space. I wish more people cared. I'd fucking love to be born in the future just so that we can know more about it.
My only wish is to go to orbit before I die, and with spacex going the way it is that is looking pretty good.
>>709809553
>the universe will rip itself apart when the expansion reaches the speed of light
This does not make sense. Expansion is happening everywhere and is happeing relative to every other point. That's what the 'observeable' in 'observable universe' means. We can't see past this horizon, because light from stuff beyond this horizon cannot travel fast enough to overcome the expansion of all things inbetween this horizon and us.
Pretty sure most peeps are going for this as end to universe>

>>709805197
gravity is present before the sun forms
the gas cloud has weight
it collapses under its own gravity
the pressure and temperature in the center gets high enough for fusion
you get a star
>>709809975
I was actually thinking about that but I couldn't find anything about it so I called myself a faggit and moved on. Don't know the technical knowledge in Physics, my major was biology
>>709809553
The most precise measurement ever made of the speed of the universe's expansion is in, thanks to NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, and it's a doozy. Space itself is pulling apart at the seams, expanding at a rate of 74.3 plus or minus 2.1 kilometers (46.2 plus or minus 1.3 miles) per second per megaparsec (a megaparsec is roughly 3 million light-years).

and we make even better versions of the sims etc every few years
>>709810213
Thanks, Anon. So would light be visible as soon as the star is formed or after the photons can escaped, so one millions years down the line? Some people are saying there is an explosion when a star forms but from what? Sorry for being a reg-faggit

I didnt want this thread to be a hive for wanna be physicists and astrologists. I don't know shit about space from an academic standpoint.
Tbh I just wanted some more good pictures and to share a fascination with it that many other people hold, everything about space is mesmerising to me
Also really excited for when the James Webb Telescope gets up and going. Hubble has been astounding.

hopefully this one doesn't need glasses.
If a star is a grain of salt, fill an Olympic sized pool with salt. That's the number of stars in an average galaxy.
It's almost statistically impossible that they're aren't some kind of primitive or even highly-evolved sea life on Jupiters ice/ocean moon, Europa (however Nasa is takin it's sweet ass time to send a probe there).
>>709811319
you funny...kekkles
>>709809574
didn't call you a faggot.
and I'm pretty sure if I did it would not influence space programs much or at all.
But to clarify, the amounts of inventions, research and discoveries using space programs, even if its unrelated science, is staggering.
we would still be in the 1930's without it anonski. and reaching the moon itself has little to do with it
the reason you explore is because with challenge comes innovation.
the new technology comes from science concepts that the original innovator could not have imagined.
the application comes on the tail of innovation, it isn't predicted. You don't set out to discover something new, it evolves from what is learned from exploring.

It's too late Original Faggot, anarchy reigns in this thread now.

True. If we include the mars missions then yes we are "trying" space travel. If so then we are going in the right direction.
when you see things at this scale, our puny existence and petty squabbles seem trite.

It's not that great really. I mean the smallness of the planck length is much more mindblowing. Even more mindblowing though is that the difference between the smallness of planck length and the largeness of the universe is actually trivial.
Just kidding though. That shit is amazing as fuck.
>>709800614
The truly sad thing is that we will never see the universe in it's entirety. The thing called dark matter cannot be spotted yet, but it's effects can be observed. At this very moment, large clumps of mass consistently move farther and farther away from each other. In essence, dark matter/energy acts like reverse gravity, a point in space that expands itself in such a way that makes it hard anything to pass through it. Eventually, the universe will go dark, there will be plenty of space to explore, full of beautiful light and matter we can interact with, but when the time comes, it will all fade. Once the final star collapses into a black hole or white dwarf, and then once those fizzle out their last bits of energy, the universe will finally be dead. Forever. Live in the moment brother, the universe is still beautiful from our perspective. We just need the curiosity to keep looking up and dreaming big enough to get us to those twinkling lights in the sky.
Alien here. Can confirm space is not real.
>>709813821
you're right though, if the universe in insanely large then a planck would be equally insanely small.

Thinking a little small here. What kind of being with what kind of level of computing power at their disposal would just think "yeah fuck it" and make this happen. We study rats in boxes and pour years of work and millions into putting things past our atmosphere. To have such a complicated dimension simulated would take incredible quantum levels of simulation. Assuming of course it isn't sensory simulation and everything we've all ever known has been fabricated with quantum computing.

Yes. They believe in fairy tales, myth, and the 'randomness' of sporting events (God wanted the Packers to win, that's why they did!), but they outright ignore the enigmatic beauty that is the universe. It both pains and irritates me when I think about how insular the average person is, and how willfully ignorant they are about astronomy.

You vastly underestimate human creativity and discovery, it's because of it that we even know all of that with some degree of certainty, and should we survive the unfathomable number of years it takes to see one of the currently accepted fates of the universe, I would go out on a limb and guarantee neither you nor I can even conceive of what we would be capable of then.

Forgot to say it's theoretical. But from our current understanding of the universe, that's the path that we see. And actually, the fact that we know so little about the universe should be testament to the last things I said. To be curious about it all and work towards knowing more about it.
