[Smithy]

God made Saturn
And He Liked It
So he put a ring on it

[Stu]

Betelgeuse. Aint that where Ford Prefect is from.

Astronomy is pretty humbling stuff. Moreso than any religion. Look up some of Carl Sagan's stuff on YouTube.

[GypsyGoth]

I didn't know suns were that big.

[ILoveTRW]

have you only just realised this

[King Gizzard]

no..its just amazing

[setanta]

And people say that there can't be any other intelligent lifeforms out there? Bollox to that.

[Shaun]

I'll be honest, I haven't heard of any of the ones bigger than Sirius.

[\PJ/]

i didn't know there were that many planets.

[LemonJam]

It's incredible.

[Princess]

Wowwwwwwwww

[Stu]

i didn't know there were that many planets.
Planets? They are stars. Nobody knows how many planets are out there. If you took the Earth as the entire universe, the planets we do know go from where you are currently sitting to the wall in front of you. And that's probably being way too generous. The cosmos is beyond comprehension.

[ILoveTRW]

And people say that there can't be any other intelligent lifeforms out there? Bollox to that.

more to the point, people think theres a god? Bollox to that

[Jack_]

Astronomy is fascinating, and there's definitely life form out there somewhere

[Tom]

I'm fascinated by astronomy as well (and astrology even if thats a load of crap). I had no idea of the scale of stars though

[Stu]

And what you have to remember is the universe as you know it is not the universe. Nobody could possibly imagine what the various different dimensions would look like from an outside perspective. Everybody seems to go about their daily lives completely oblivious to the fact that what their eyes see is only a perception of what things really look like.

I love all these ideas. Heck, who knows, the whole general mish mash could be a collective dream we are all experiencing from another plane.

I'm going to have to go and read some Hitchhiker now.

We only have a limited perspective of the world anyway. There is so much we can't see/hear e.g. we can't see UV rays or hear high pitched noises. They could be happening constantly for all we know.

That's a different discussion altogether really and, although I find it hard to believe that there is any God that resembles the ones preached by the various religions of our time, I've always believed that there's things out there that we haven't got the faintest understanding of and it would be ignorant, no arrogant for us to assume that we know definitively that no greater or higher power exists.

That's insane.

Word. Who are we to pretend we know a damn thing when confronted with images like these.

[ILoveTRW]

you do realise none of those galaxies exist

[Stu]

you do realise none of those galaxies exist
Do go on. I could do with a laugh ...

[setanta]

you do realise none of those galaxies exist

So what our those lights in the sky then? Angels or God or Transformers? Either way you look at it we don't know for sure, that's the bottom line.

[Stu]

So what our those lights in the sky then? Angels or God or Transformers? Either way you look at it we don't know for sure, that's the bottom line.
They are certainly very galaxy shaped lights. And we do know that an unknown, huge number of galaxies exist out there. So I really don't know where ILoveDC is coming from.

[ILoveTRW]

Do go on. I could do with a laugh ...

well the light from them has taken so long from them to get to us (billions and billions of years) that they have probably all exploded, and maybe even the new stars that were created from those explosions have exploded as well

[King Gizzard]

yea i get where dc is coming from

[setanta]

They are certainly very galaxy shaped lights. And we do know that an unknown, huge number of galaxies exist out there. So I really don't know where ILoveDC is coming from.

I hope he thinks it's some sort of conspiracy that the world powers decided to come up with in order to give us some hope. That would be cool. That they planted shi$e into every telescope that we bought so we saw and believed in other planets. But nah,, that would be too cool a thought for him lol.

[Stu]

well the light from them has taken so long for them to get to us (billions and billions of years) that they have probably all exploded, and maybe even the new stars that were created from those explosions have exploded as well
Even if you were right those galaxies did exist. That's the point. To illustrate the scale of the universe.

But obviously I would be a fool to say you are right for sure given your mathematically woeful grasp on astrophysics.

Words like 'probably' and 'maybe' make me lol in situations like these.

Given the woah 4732845985036342whoknowshowmany483?483205745637046 *? amount of galaxies in the cosmos, I'm sure the odds that many have survived a very, very long time is very, very possible.

[setanta]

well the light from them has taken so long for them to get to us (billions and billions of years) that they have probably all exploded, and maybe even the new stars that were created from those explosions have exploded as well

Maybe, but that's only the ones that we can't see. What about the ones that can be viewed with a telescopic lense? Come on DC.

[setanta]

And yeah, Stu is right, they still existed. You're not really defending your first remark here.

[Stu]

And let's not forget, that was a very, very small chunk of the night sky. Like looking out your window and looking at a space in the stars.

[ILoveTRW]

they existed but they dont exist

[Stu]

they existed but they dont exist
On what grounds do you say that?

Would you mind citing the equation you drew up to work that one out? Just take a photo of your whiteboard for me or something. Ta.

Your making an assumption. A cosmos sized assumption.

[setanta]

they existed but they dont exist

And? That was a tiny, infinitesimal portion of the night sky. Do the math if you want.

[King Gizzard]

to be fair to him dc said ''none of those galaxies exist'' not ''those galaxies never existed''

[setanta]

to be fair to him dc said ''none of those galaxies exist'' not ''those galaxies never existed''

That's true Nathan but it doesn't really disprove anything, you know?

[King Gizzard]

don't think anything was meaning to be disproved, just saying that those galaxies dont exist anymore thats all

[ILoveTRW]

funny story:

my physics teacher (which i hate because physics is a load of bollocking fake little theories) and he was like "the next topic we are doing is astronomy" and i was like "is that like Taurus and stuff" and he was like "what?" and then i was like "you know starsigns" and then he laughed and i realised what i had said

lol imagine a physics lesson on starsigns

[ILoveTRW]

That's true Nathan but it doesn't really disprove anything, you know?

i was just stating a fact

that i thought you might be interested in

but obviously not

[setanta]

don't think anything was meaning to be disproved, just saying that those galaxies dont exist anymore thats all

Fair enough. Still though, it makes you think. I'm sure that other stars and planets have taken their place anyway, if they're gone at this stage.

[Stu]

don't think anything was meaning to be disproved, just saying that those galaxies dont exist anymore thats all
Says who?

There are roughly 1.7 × 10 - to the power of eleven - galaxies in the universe. 170 billion.

ILoveDC views a few of these on a picture and blankly declares they don't exist anymore?

Wut man?

[setanta]

i was just stating a fact

that i thought you might be interested in

but obviously not

No, it is interesting, but it was just funny to hear it. That they don't exist now (maybe) doesn't mean that there's not literally hundred of thousands out there that still exist.

Edit.... millions of the feckers.

[King Gizzard]

there is alot of science behind it..somewhere lol


the whole thing about looking up at the stars in the sky, theyre already non existant as you look at em..its all confusing stuff

[Jords]

Remember size doesnt matter. ;)

Were they all stars after the planets???

Not necassarily. Plenty of them have expired and we are seeing them through time, yeah, but plenty still exist. I don't know anybody could look at a half dozen and blankly declare they no longer exist. That's a completely naive and baseless comment.

It's a weird concept alright though. Somewhere in the universe another race could be looking at the Earth from a different point in history!

Yeah there is deffinetly other life in the universe without a shadow of a doubt

millions of different ones i expect

I'm not ********. I have spoken to transdimensional aliens while tripping on DMT. What's even more messed up is that the chemical occurs naturally in your brain and only seems to get released when your born and when you die.

Now this is all making me think of Halo. There's got to be a few ring worlds out there methinks, given the odds :shocked:.

Even if it were possible that there are billions of galaxies, why should any one of them look the same or be fammiliar in any way nevermind say an exact repilica?

If it's possible that there are 170 billion galaxies then it's certainly more than possible that they all look different. Especially given how spontaneous and chaotic there formation and evolution is.

That's an abstract theory, not proof of anything, and it's not a theory that's appliable when talking about the universe. I have never once heard a scientist put foward the theory that any one of the 170 billion + galaxies are obligated to be identical to one another. We already have galaxies whose lifespans have seemingly started before the Big Bang. Formulas are redundant when dealing with something as overly large and complex as the universe.

You were talking about galaxies repeating themselves. Not universes. Two very different things. Have you any idea what you are actually talking about? And that post is worded so badly I don't even know where to tackle it. But the universe is made up of a stupidly impossible number of things that can create in a stupidly impossible number of combinations, and we are dealing with a very, very finite amount of galaxies. Not an infinite number like you declared from out of nowhere. Therefore it's completely logical that each galaxy be completely different from the last.

assumptionassumptionassumptionassumption

For the record, all the universe expanding means is what currently exists in it is getting further away, like stretching an elastic band. It plays no role in the formation of extra galaxies.

I'm not doubting that other universes could exist [multiverse] - they probably do. But that has no place in this discussion because we don't have a hope of understanding or contemplating a thing outside our own universe.

Don't be a ****ing dolt. If it's international conglamorate bodies of highly respected scientists vs. ILoveDC, I think I know who I'm siding with.

For a start, this particular universe is not infinite. So how could an infinite number of galaxies even fit in it? Total improbability.

It pays to have a bit of prior basic astronomy knowledge in discussions like these.

This Tommy video is brilliant. Four minuets in and I'm skitting my hole laughing.

You'd never seen it before? It's classic stuff.

how do you know its not infinite? have scientist found the edge? no i think not
and before you say well that impossible
well its also seemingly impossible that we are even here

whats yours? wikipedia?

Our solar system is just a flem on your brother's jacket. Classic.

The Big Bang model of the universe is finite. Common sense. You said it yourself, the universe is expanding. It started from nothing and it blew out and is still in the process of blowing out. Scientists agree that this particular universe is finite. If we assume that it's age is somewhere within the region of thirteen billion years then it is 93 billion light years in diameter, 8.80 × 1026 to the power of 26 in meters. That's a pretty huge number, but it's still finite and it cannot possibly hold an infinite amount of galaxies. Galaxies are formed from gas and dark matter condensing. If an infinite number existed the universe that we live in would quiet litteraly kick itself in the balls, swallow itself up, throw itself up, and dissolve into ****ing sweet oblivion.

Okay, bad example as far as actual laughcount goes, but that's ****ing chilling.

[James]

well the light from them has taken so long from them to get to us (billions and billions of years) that they have probably all exploded, and maybe even the new stars that were created from those explosions have exploded as well

Yeah, DC is right on this one. Most stars that make up the galaxies in that picture have a lifespan shorter than the time it is has taken for the light to reach us.

The star Betelgeuse in the initial animation is said to be near the end of its life and has been observed to be shrinking recently. It could go supernova and explode soon, might have already happened.

Yep he really is good, fantastic observational stuff. Many thanks.

If you let the u tube vid play out you can click on part 6 at the bottom of the replay screen and watch it that way.

I can get part six just fine? :S

He's great, right?

[Shasown]

He's great, right?

Hes excellent havent laughed so much in a long while, thanks.

[setanta]

Ah, you posted it. Legend. Love this gig so much.

[setanta]

Hes excellent havent laughed so much in a long while, thanks.

That's great to hear because I was worried that his humour wouldn't transfer, you know? I think he's a legend.

He is absolutely brilliant, am off to watch some more of his stuff on u tube, many thanks.

the universe be can expand and still be infinite

piss off i never freaked out, your the little bitch that went crazy

[Stu]

the universe be can expand and still be infinite
No it can not. You just ignored everything in my post. The Big Bang model of the universe is finite. Scientists unanimously agree on this. They have calculated it's distance.

I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the clip Setanta posted you moron.

well quote it next time, biatch

well quote it next time, biatch
I didn't quote you either, did I? We were in a discussion about a comedy clip long after you dragged your sorry ass to bed.

[Enid]

Sorry, it's too mind boggling to think about. Interesting stuff though. You learn something every day.

"places", lol.

Lets all take a day trip.
