And Just when you thought you were getting your head around the size of the universe :D:

The Crazy Part: The part where the Universe isn't just bigger than you can possibly comprehend, but according to recent evidence, billions of times larger than that.What It Says: That the universe is big. So big, that just that fact, just its mere bigness, is enough to blow your tiny ant mind. And it just keeps getting bigger. Lets examine the famous Hubble Ultra Deep Field image, the most massive photo ever taken:hudf_zpslczso4bm.jpg

Right now, on your computer screen, are approximately 10,000 galaxies.

Each of those galaxies contains anywhere from ten million to one trillion stars.

The average star is roughly a million times the size of Earth.

And yet, with all that junk, the Universe is more than 90 percent empty space.

All of that, in this tiny photo. A photo that took 400 orbits and 800 exposures to take.

And the kicker? The photo covers one thirteen-millionth of the entire night sky.

So What Does This Do For Me? If youre like us, it leaves you alternately awash with spiritual wonder and horrified feelings of utter insignificance. Actually imagining just how infinitesimal you are in the scope of the universe is like autoerotic asphyxiation: its not as pleasant as youd think, and if you do it wrong you can end up a vegetable. And without getting too Douglas Adams on you, can you possibly imagine that much space and that many planets and stars and atoms smashing together without intelligent life forming? Now its just a matter of getting around that pesky general relativity and well be chilling with aliens in no time. Or, like, a million years.

Wait, It Gets Worse: So all that shit we just said about how big the universe is (at least 90 billion light years)? Forget it. Thats small beans. The Cosmological Horizon is here to make your day a whole lot more complicated. Since we can only observe stellar bodies that have had some effect on us (usually bombarding us with light), there is an outer limit to what we can see of the universe. Hence, the observable universe. What about the rest? The parts of the universe beyond our Starcraft-style fog of war? Well, according to some math we have no interest in going into, the size of the actual universe is so large that if the universe we just described (the impossibly, mind-bogglingly large one) were the size of a quarter, the actual universe would be the size of the Earth. Daaaaaaaamn.

I love this shit lol

the empty space also has to be something in the fabric of the universe itself, as its growing with the universe, so if there was nothing before the Big Bang what is the universe expanding into??? Then there's the subject of dark matter and the energy it emits when collided with matter, total anihilation, every bit is pure raw energy. The universe is amazing and God didn't make it easy that us mere mortals work it out in a hundred yrs lol. God created the heavens and the earth. All the devines work

Not for me mate,,just a story to keep folk in line by rulers in older days...   My old gran who was a church goer,,,,,she would say the bible got it wrong,,,and God and the devil were just spelling

I've never believed in a God . My parents didn't either . I think that present day science rtf can prove that most of the bible didn't happen or would have been impossible. Moses parting the sea etc

Cain married his sister and thus God created......Norfolk !

It's when matter and antimatter collide that they cancel each other out and release energy. ..as for dark energy and dark matter anything with dark infront of it in science usually means they havent got a clue lol ....back to matter and antimatter cancelling each other out its thought that there had to be just slightly more matter than antimatter at the birth of the universe otherwise it just wouldent have formed a universe ...if there was to much antimatter then all the matter would have been destroyed and on the flipside there was to much matter then the universe would just be black holes with different laws of physics to what we have in this one ..it had to be just perfect for our universe to be as we know it....now you could say this is pointer to intelligent design or you could say if multiple or infinite universe's are produced then you would expect a few to get it just right just by chance alone ....you decide :thumbs:

sorry I ment anti matter colliding with matter, exactly right about being just the correct mix of matters, for us to survive how can all this come from a random bang??? Me I'm already decided but to the non believers how do they explain those odds that it's just random luck? I like all this stuff too. Look at what the nazi scientists discovered by thinking outside the box, the opertunities are never ending, imagine inventing a machine that harvests or created anti matter, free clean energy and propulsion systems, and the richest person in the solar system haha Edited by Lenmcharristar

They are working on the antimatter thing but the obvious problem is how do you contain it because the momentum it touches matter (((((BOOM))))) lol... that said the have managed to contain small amounts by holding it in strong magnetic feilds so we are getting there slowly.

well that's the hard bit, and I'd hate to be any where near it if there's a change in the magnetic field lol, the universe has the answers to the problems, there's anti matter out there somewhere hanging about in the deep reaches of space so by studying it then it can teach us how to properly contain it safely, imagine if that scientific info fell into the wrong hands. That we Kim Jung un fella, feck its bye bye world, I'd put money on it that the American Germans from ww2 worked on it after the war, same as the Russians. And imagine just how far they've come from then?

Kanny or Mushroom at the risk of sounding like a 5 year old.....what do you think to the idea about life on other planets......surely the tiny size of earth within this whole " space " must make it a billion to one that we ( earth ) are the only gaff that can kick up living things ?

You're talking about anti atoms right? Because anti particles are not at all that exotic a form of matter. In fact I have to consider them and their interactions occasionally at work. :thumbs:

Have you read about Philadelphia Experiment hahaha? Edited by DogFox123

Put it this way if I was a betting man then I'd put my house on there being other life out there :thumbs:

Antiparticals combine together to create antimatter right? But That's about where my knowledge ends.. I openly admit I only know what you scientists tell me.. Ask me to do the math and you will see a glazed look come over me lol... But everyday is a learning day so by all means expand :thumbs:

Is that where the body's of the sailors and the ship become one? Freaky!

No no, you're doing fine mate. I'm not exactly an expert at the forefront of nuclear research but I do have to deal with nuclear interactions at a fairly basic level. Just wanted to point out that the likes of positrons are fairly easily come by and positron annihilation happens all the time around us. High energy gamma rays will interact with atomic nuclei in the right circumstances and produce electron-positron pairs. The positrons don't then tend to go and find an anti-proton mate and form anti-hydrogen though which is the sort of stuff that is at the forefront of research and has cosmological implications as you allude to.

What about Dark Matter, makes up 27% of the known universe yet is unidentified....

 

Could it be our souls when we die?????

 

Does it? Show me some! LOL

 

Dark matter is the answer to an experimental anomaly that is as yet unresolved. It's got a lot of support because it's very plausible and nothing has really challenged it. But there ain't a great deal that supports it either! Personally I can't help but feel there's a strong possibility it's a result of an incomplete understanding of gravity being applied on a fairly unfamiliar scale (galactic!) and as a result we have got a false conclusion.

 

This is the difference between solid strongly supported scientific theory that for all intents and purposes is fact and very speculative research that is not at all strongly enough supported by evidence to be talked about as though it is factual. I really have to make a point of this because many folks will talk about such things in the wrong manner and as such cause others that only really have a basic grasp of it all to become disillusioned and distrusting of science.
