We Are So Damn Small : The Universe
 

Pretty cool vid !! :upsidedow




Are we alone ?? I don't think so somehow... :2 cents:

Now that is depressing. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty silly to think we're the only life form that exists after watching that!

This one is way more interesting

ya, that's cool.

First time i have seen your avatar :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I loved the show at the Rose Space Center.

I wish I could last so long to see us visiting other solar systems. :stoned

We can't even map our own oceans or lifeforms. We have not scratched the SURFACE of the universe, let alone our own galaxy.. To assume anything about anything proves how ignorant we can be as creatures. We know shit.

i have a black hole in my butt

Im with Brad, all that I know is that I know nothing.

Whenever I see videos like this, I always wonder why we don't spend more time exploring space.

We seem to have stopped exploring now that our own world has been 'discovered'. Why aren't we working together to find out what else is out there??

We really are just a blimp!


Fantastic vid, much appreciated that 6mins, Thx.

We know more about space than we do about our own oceans. :winkwink:

If you guys think the universe presented in that video is big you need to study astronomy more.. and read about the inflation theory

The inflation theory is today accepted by the majority of sciencetist (as far as I know) and it takes the size of the universe so far beyond the size presented in the video that its almost impossible to comprehent

The size seen in the video is the size of the visible universe - which is limited by the time since the big bang.. the whole universe, according to the inflation theory, is.. are you ready?.. as many times bigger as the visible universe as one single atom is to the visible universe.

To our brain that is practially endless

lol.....You have no idea how many galaxies and planets are discovered every year. Telescopes and what not are advancing exponentially every year. Of course we haven't discovered a micro-spec of what's all out there, but it's still amazing how far we can see right now.

because it costs billions of dollars

Puts it in perspective for sure

wow that's a cool one :)

We will never know how big it gets and what all of this is a part of.

What was the source of the big bang? Where did it's material originate?

It blows my mind everytime I start thinking about it

what about the billions wasted on things that seem unimportant when compared with exploring the universe or at least near space?
and thats just the billions the USA wastes. imagine if the whole world pooled resources into a group exploration of the universe. instead of fighting over land on this planet, they can claim entire planets for themselves........ and no one would argue because there are so many available.

lets fight alien races, not each other!

Go listen to the #1 song on iTunes right now.


We are going backwards, not forwards.

I like this thread so going to add to it:

Hubble Takes Earliest Snapshot of Infant Universe
A new image from NASA's Hubble Telescope has provided astronomers with the earliest snapshot ever taken of galaxies in the universe's infancy, about 600 million years after the Big Bang.

Awesome video ! Thanks for sharing. makes you go... hum... :thumbsup

reminds of the end of men in black

lol

They pointed the Hubble scope in a direction where it showed nothing but black... locked the shutter open, so to speak, and ended up seeing several thousand galaxies in the one frame.

this thread is awesome, i think about this stuff all day :thumbsup

great video:)

we are.. 'da bomb'
