I feel like some of you would love this, others are going t =o feel retarded.
You're now watching two strangers discuss your question!
Question to discuss:
What is the true meaning of the word, space?
Stranger 2:
Stranger 2: Incredible.
Stranger 1: Huh. Defined by negation
Stranger 1: in essence
Stranger 2: Sure.
Stranger 1: No aether or phlogiston
Stranger 2: Yeah, totally.
Stranger 2: I was just thinking that, myself.
Stranger 1: but since it's related to space and gravity, I suppose I should have a better definition.
Stranger 2: ...
Stranger 2: I wish I was as intelligent as you are.
Stranger 2: I can't even comprehend your level of intelligence.
Stranger 2:
Stranger 1: I think you overestimate you.
Stranger 1: *me.
Stranger 1: See my point?
Stranger 2: I just threw you.
Stranger 1: You overestimate me.
Stranger 2: But yeah. I don't even understand wtf you're talking about.
Stranger 2: But I'd love to hear more.
Stranger 1: Oh, before einstein scientists thought space was made of/had "Aether" which was what light traveled through.
Stranger 1: it was invisible and everywhere. Turned out to be bullshit.
Stranger 2: I see
Stranger 2: So if it's not something, then it's just nothing.
Stranger 1: Well, not entirely. You see, space is malleable, it's not solid and everything with mass bends space. You are bending space around you.
Stranger 2: Bending how.
Stranger 1: So, gravity bends space.
Stranger 2: Or, bending what.
Stranger 1: If you take a bowling ball and put it on a trampoline
Stranger 1: it bends the trampoline.
Stranger 1: If you then throw a tennis ball on it, it will "orbit" around those bends, it won't move as though the bowling ball isn't there.
Stranger 1: the only difference is the trampoline is in two dimension, but gravity bends space in three dimensions.
Stranger 2: I've never understood how we can be here.. in this point in existence.. yet somehow at a depth to us there is.. I just can't wrap my mind around the concept.
Stranger 1: You are made of stardust.
Stranger 2: Yes.
Stranger 1: An astronomer is the universe looking at itself. An astronomer is the universes' mirror. This is why looking up at the sky is one of the most primitive and beautiful things humans can do.
Stranger 2: Yes, it's quite beautiful.
Stranger 1: The iron that carries the oxygen in your blood was the deathnail of a star. Within milliseconds of nuclear fission creating iron in a star, the star explodes, spewing all its elements out.
Stranger 1: It died, and so now you live.
Stranger 1: Wrapping one's mind around this is fascinating, and involves a lot of science and philosophy, but I believe it to unfold the beauty of reality before us, which is a treasure to behold.
Stranger 2: It makes me sad to think that so many people will never even begin to contemplate the nature of reality..
Stranger 2: We're all so incredibly lucky.
Stranger 1: Well, you can live your life rationally and generously; by doing so well, others are inspired to as well. I wouldn't be so enamored with reality without Feynman, Sagan, Hawking, Tyson, and they wouldn't without Einstein, Plank, etx.
Stranger 1: *Etc.
Stranger 1: We are, indeed.
Stranger 2: So what do you do?
Stranger 1: I'm currently jobfree, and I spend a lot of time with my wife and daughter.
Stranger 1: She's in my lap watching "Here comes science" by They Might Be Giants. Which i strongly recommend.
Stranger 1: my daughter, not my wife.
Stranger 2:

She's very lucky.
Stranger 1: I can't wait until she's older. I'm going to take her to the desert for astronomy and gold panning.
Stranger 2: I figured you had to be doing something interesting to know so much.. What is it that you'd like to be doing?
Stranger 1: Tough question. I'd like to build robots that build algorithmic architecture at high densities.
Stranger 1: Funding for this is scant at the moment.
Stranger 2: It's a shame.
Stranger 1: Yeah, it'd solve a lot of problems.
Stranger 2: I would love to see the things this age of technology could create if we had the funding of decades past. :\
Stranger 1: well, I have to go, kiddo needs her nap.
Stranger 2: Figures.
Stranger 2: The one interesting person on omegle to chat with.
Stranger 2: Do you have msn by chance?
Stranger 1: There's more out there.
Stranger 1: Actually I'm morally opposed to microsoft.
Stranger 1: But rubedujour@gmail.com
Stranger 1: feel free to drop me a line.
Stranger 2: I sure will. Have a nice afternoon.
