nonsensical/incomprehensible/possibly terrifying **** in space thread

[CouldntBeMeTho]

we are nothing more than a speck of dust, in a vast endless sea of nothingness. i find it very humbling to realize the scale of the "observable universe."

@ op should have majored in physics




here n1ggas go with that space shyt again...





A real talk, if yall are about the "theory of space", microorganisms can be just as fascinating...

fukk that man. i just like contemplating space and looking at some pretty pics a couple times a year. its not that serious.

 

[Mowgli]

there is a black hole at the center of every galaxy slowly consuming it

just like in nature, everything is recycled.

oh and uh... time stops and the laws of physics break down inside a black hole

it has literally an infinite amount of gravity, which breaks down space-time.

Life comes from violence.

The Sun is expected to become a red giant in approximately five billion years. It is calculated that the Sun will become sufficiently large to engulf the current orbits of the solar system's inner planets, up to Earth, and its radius will expand to a minimum of 200 times its current value. The Sun will lose a significant fraction of its mass in the process of becoming a red giant, and there is a chance that Mars and all the outer planets will escape as their resulting orbits will widen.

Mercury and most likely Venus will have been swallowed by sun's outer layer at this time. Earth's fate is less clear. Earth could technically achieve a widening of its orbit and could potentially maintain a sufficiently high angular velocity to keep it from becoming engulfed. In order to do so, its orbit needs to increase to between 1.3 AU (190,000,000 km) and 1.7 AU(250,000,000 km). However the results of studies announced in 2008 show that due to tidal interaction between sun and Earth, Earth would actually fall back into a lower orbit, and get engulfed and incorporated inside the sun before the sun reaches its largest size, despite the sun losing about 38% of its mass.

Before this happens, Earth's biosphere will have long been destroyed by the Sun's steady increase in brightness as its hydrogen supply dwindles and its core contracts, even before the transition to a Red Giant. After just over 1 billion years, the extra solar energy input will cause Earth's oceans to evaporate and the hydrogen from the water to be lost permanently to space, with total loss of water by 3 billion years. Earth's atmosphere and lithosphere will become like that of Venus. Over another billion years, most of the atmosphere will get lost in space as well;[15] ultimately leaving Earth as a desiccated, dead planet with a surface of molten rock.

What do you think of the hypothesis that there exists a big bang on the "other" side of every blackhole.

Essentially, a new universe is created by each black hole.

Always loved the opening to the film Contact...

A very interesting theory indeed, it seems to be a pretty untestable theory though. We know black holes have "jets" that spew out energy from the stuff they consume, but I wonder if the jet goes "Both ways" i.e. back into our universe AND on the other side of the black hole. I also wonder if the black hole is shooting back 100% of the energy it consumes into our universe? If they don't, it seems possible that some of that energy and matter is going into another universe that was created by a gravitational singularity and then that matter and energy will go on to create a whole nother universe.

Always loved this movie too. Used to watch it all the time with my pops as a youngin', I owe my love of scifi to him, dude had me watching terminator and blade runner when I was like 10 years old

Love Contact the film and book. Sagan actually made a very compelling philosophical argument for the relationship between faith and theism. Dope movie and book, but I actually prefer the movie.

can you just imagine the shyt out there? The various and most likely HORRIBLE life out there? Some Cthulu type shyt i bet.... most people look up and really just don't get it

I remember my environmental science teacher back in high school. He used to work at NASA and he was explaining that if aliens existed they would look NOTHING like a humanoid and probably not cute and cuddly like we see in the movies. Their shape could surpass the craziest looking monsters we've seen in our nightmares.

Whole class was all , , and

You don't even need to leave this planet to see "alien" looking creatures. All you have to do is hit the bottom of the oceans.

don't you find it necessary though for a species to traverse the universe they would need some sort of appendages with similar functions analogous to that of our hands? to manipulate objects and such.

Yeah, I saw the giant isopod I don't think I want to know about the undiscovered deep sea creatures...
