Mind=blown

Thinking about how the world would look from the outside if we didn't know anything about it, it would probably look fairly scary. Covered with thick vegetation, tall craggy rock mountains, super dry deserts, water falling from the sky as both water and ice, lightning striking all over the place....

Or at least looking at pictures of our earth and imagining seeing it like humans saw Pandora in Avatar and being like HOLY SHIT!

Maybe I'm not making any sense.
 
Minority Report? Thats what I thought of reading your post. There are people who claim to be able to predict the future from their dreams. I remember watching a documentary about some guy in Europe who dreamt of a bank robbery or some kind of explosion, then it happened that day. After that he has reported his weird dreams and kinda works for the government...

If we were able to record dreams we could snatch up all these "precogs" and predict the future. No more crime. Minority Report.
 
if you read it, in humans it allows for greater color differentiation and differentiation amongst patterns . regardless, my point is that there is a finite light spectrum, even outside the visible light spectrum, there are no colours that are created in being able to see wavelengths outside of the visible spectrum

pretty mind blowing
 
If you could fold a piece of paper more than the standard 6 or 7 times it would only take 42 folds to have a stack of paper from the earth to the moon.
 
think of this, one fold means the thickness is 2 sheets of paper, 2 folds means 4 sheets thick. after 42 folds, its a huge number. obviously its impossible to actually fold it that many times, he's just saying the thickness of it would reach to the moon
 
Take a single piece of paper (.1mm thick) fold it in half again an again an again till it's been folded in half 42 times. The height of your folded piece of paper would be the same or more even than the distance from the earth to the moon. I know i've basically said the same thing but i don't know how else to word it. (also not going to be able to fold a piece of paper this many times i'm just saying hypothetically)
 
deaf people think in whatever form of sign language they learned, (there's almost as many sign languages as there are spoken) sorry to ruin that one.
 
If cats always land on their feet and toast always lands butter side down. What happens if i strap toast on the back of a cat n drop it.
 
Aahaha we used to do that at the cafeteria in high school; they would only let us take 1 or else they would charge us, so we were able to get more in one cup like that. /pointless story
 
hahaha dream result. Cat with toast strapped on it's back attached to a generator=clean energy. Global warming has taken a real hit today
 
Take a knife and chop off your hand to be sure. Disclaimer: I was joking about cutting your hand off and will not be held accountable for the possible stupidity of kids on the Internet
 
No, no it's actually not at all. No respectable physicist believes that the big bang originated from the imploding of a black hole? Like wtf that doesn't even make any sense.

That happens anyway, white holes. The same idea as a black hole, extremely dense points except they do the exact opposite, they release matter. They have not been found but Einstein's math allows them to happen. I am a fan of the school of though where if something can happen, then it has happened, is happening or can happen –– at some point and space in time.

I will gladly school any of you toddlers in an astro-phyisics mind=blown contest. Right here, right now with real people, really.
 
Um, I assume you are an intelligent guy and I concede I haven't done physics for a while, but there is definitely a case for a "big bounce".

In laymen terms the universe expands slower and slower due to the enormous gravitational pull it has on itself (density becomes infinite). The gravity eventually becomes too much and the universe collapses on itself becoming many black holes, which collapse on themselves forming what we understand as the state of the universe prior to the big bang (a black hole) which in turn will also expand in the same way the big bang did.

Interestingly this cycle could have happened an infinite amount of times before this one and if it is true will happen an infinite amount of times after.

Please correct me if you know better, but I believe I know my shit.
 
Actually, a few years back they discovered that the universe was not slowing down, but still speeding up at a rate too fast to ever allow a "big crunch." Instead, many believe that a "big rip" will occur in which everything is spaced the fuck out and torn apart.
 
AKA the big freeze yeah, atoms get so spaced apart there's no interactions between them which means everything gets really cold. I thought they hadn't completely diproved it yet?
 
No, the Big Rip =/= the Big Freeze.

If dark energy's current strength increased, the universe would expand at an exponentially faster rate. In roughly 20-30 billion years objects, even if bound by gravity, would fly away from eachother. First galaxy clusters, then galaxies, stars and so on. Ultimately space would be a soup of neutrinos and other subatomic particles. Everything would disintegrate and time would stop (because the fabric of space/time would RIP), marking the end of everything. This scenario is the second most unlikely, after the Big Crunch.

The Big Freeze however is and ending where dark energy's current strength remains the same. So only objects NOT bound by gravity would fly away from one another. So stars away from one another, and planets away from stars, and their orbiting bodies. But the bodies themselves and their atoms will stay intact (so there would be no heat because the nearest star would be flying away at speeds faster than the speed of light, really cold, big FREEZE). This is the most likely scenario for the end of everything

I read this book called The Universe every night ahah. I am getting this shit straight from pages 54 and 55
 
It was in the 1920's with Hubble not a few years ago (;

BUT the rationale for it didn't come along until Einstein who first theorized about the force behind the universe's expansion. He referred to it as the cosmological constant, not dark energy. But he was shutdown and he called it his biggest blunder.

THEN in the 90's with the advances in telescopes and shit, we were using red shits discovered by Hubble in conjunction with the standard candle of supernovae (all supernovi emit the same brightness regardless of the size of the star) we found that the universe was not only expanding as thought, but it's accelerating. So physicists revisited Einstein's constant. They did the math and found even when he thought he was wrong, he was right. Dark matter would not only explain the expansion but it would account for the missing 70 percent of the mass-energy density of the universe that is required to make it flat.

I can keep going with this annoying know-it-all thing. Are you not entertained?

Because if you're not I am not shocked. No girl anywhere, ever will be attracted to my knowledge of astro-physics.

to be honest, it fascinates me although I understand almost none of it. (I really wish I did)there's a nerd somewhere out there for you :)
 
The main thing in the whole universe explanation that I can't really figure out is dark matter and dark energy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_energyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter
Above are the wikipedia links for each. I understand that dark matter is supposedly a form of matter that makes up a large portion of matter in the universe but neither emits nor absorbs light on a noticable level. Dark energy I understand a little less. Nevertheless, what is their significance in the grand scheme of things?
 
Unlike their name suggests, they are not the same thing, or even related really. Astronomers don't really think when they name things some time :p They are "dark" simply because we cannot see them!

Dark energy, in a nutshell, is the force that is opposite of gravity. It's just a force. Gravity pulls, dark energy pushes. It is the force of expansion in a few words. It is the reason the universe is expanding and will continue to expand to no end, as I outlined above!

Dark matter you pretty had spot on. It is matter we cannot see, but are aware it's there due to the math and gravitational lensing. It does make up a LARGE portion of the universe's matter, around 17/20th. So they are not really related, with the exception that we cannot see them. They are "dark".

Astro-physicists have tried to tie dark matter to the universe's expansion but I have never seen the relation clearly, it is matter so it would have properties of gravity, not repulsion. Either way, they are both real cool stuff!

And thanks sack (:
 
I've heard dark matter/ matter contained within black holes to support the cyclic theory, as opposed to the continual expansion of the big bang theory
