im sure it makes me a huge dork for saying it, but **** like this absolutely fascinates me...nice find j!

 

Yes, all that fascinates me too ..I look up at the stars and think of the millions of them all around us and thats just in our galaxy alone ..then you leave our galaxy and there are so many other galaxies out there that seemingly go on forever all around us in every direction ... the other thing is that you are not even seeing all these galaxies and stars as they are today, but as they were maybe thousands or millions of years ago ..so long has the light taken to travel to earth ..some of the stars you can see out there no longer exist today but their weak light is still reaching our planet thousands of years after they have blinked out.

I think our nearest local star is what, 4 light years away so even that we are seeing as it was 4 years ago ..wehn we look at the sky we are staring right into the past!!

So even if we built a starship capable of the speed of light (C) ..then it would still take 50,000 years to traverse it ..even our own galaxy from memory is 100,000 light years across so it would take us 100,000 years to get across our own galaxy, never mind the vast voids between the galaxies to reach another ... the universe could be teaming with life out there and we will never know or reach them ..you know just maybe thats how its meant to be!!

you know what trips me out? thinking about how space is supposed to just go on forever...like that cant possibly be true! but then again, it cant just ****ing stop somewhere you know? i dont know, man...but it keeps me up at night

 

Interesting. Good find.

 

And they say thinking is good, you guys are gonna give yourselves headaches. Thats whats great about being slow, i can just look at teh pretty colors and go ooooooo ahhhhhh and wipe up the drool.
