Cool science fact

okay

another interesting fact

sampsihoyosThe famous Hubble "pillars of creation" photo that everyone has seen (somebody plz post it) is a close up of the "eagle nebula". Astronomers can see that a cloud of dust is going to destroy the pillars in 1000 years but since the enormous structures are 7,000 light years away they were destroyed 6000 years ago and don't exist anymore.

The tallest one is 57 T miles tall or 4 light years

That's insane. I love shit like this, however...A light year is roughly 6 trillion miles so either its about 9 light years tall or the height is half what you mentioned.

Nonetheless, try to comprehend that. If you got on a train the day you were born and were traveling at 100mph you would not even be close to half the distance of just one light year in your entire life, or 1/8th the height of the tallest pillar.

Yet, in the next decade we will be transporting up to 100 human lives in the SpaceX Carrier and begin living and cultivating on Mars. Before we die, we will have the opportunity to liveout our life on another planet.

Where is your god now?

.

Here's some perspective.

Lets say an average human lifespan is 90years.

Since day1 you board that vehicle that's traveling at 100mph until the day you die.Thats 78,840,00 0miles in one lifetime. It would take roughly 723,000 lifespans just to cover the distance in one light year. Just one. The height of the tallest pillar is confirmed at just about 5 light years tall. Try and visualize that.

Mars is 249 million miles away. you would need 2,008 round trips to mars from earth to cover one light year in that said vehicle.

HOWEVER, it took us only 9 months to put Curiosity on Mars. So, let your mind run wild with the capabilities that we are gaining in interstellar travel in combination with the phenomena that happens in space. (Plug for McConaughey's film here).

IF you HONESTLY believe in early creationism, or that we are living on a rock that is barely 10,000 years old OR THE THEORY that we are the only existing conscious beings on this planet...you are ignorant and I try to sympathize with the limited imagination your mind has for we are all capable of a boundless canvas. We all suffer the same pain, of being mortal. We must pay closer attention to things that are not linear like frequency, vibrations, and energy. One should prepare for the trip through DMT. Truths become unveiled and you begin to understand the intent to align thought, word, and action. I'll get off the soap box as I become tangented into the effect of psychedelics - which I have not partaken in; it takes years to prepare for a trip like that. (shout out to those of you who had a 'crazy time back at Dartmouth with my buds in the woods on shrooms' you didnt experience shit).

K back to your daily robotic routines until all that we love falls to ash.

I think you have earned the title of "Professor messplay"

A cloud of dust breaks up another cloud of dust. wow, so exciting and groundbreaking, science.

Jennifer Garner never says anything funny. Science.

Do you not understand how insanely awesome it is? Those clouds of dust are larger than anything you can literally compare for size that isn't an abstract idea or directly observable. You could even be witnessing the early stages of a solar system being born that could create a planet where life could start on. Or nothing but gas giants will be created. This is literally us peaking at a process religious freaks think god could only do. I pity anyone who doesn't have an appreciation for what goes on in space. If you want a glimpse into the higher powers at play, look up into space, it's right there for everyone to see.

daOysterreligious freaks think god could only do.

then why is there something rather than nothing?

That is a blanket "I'm gonna save my ass" statement. Nothing is still something. You, are about to open a can of worms. I suggest you step back.

Also, it's not atheism. People can have faith and believe in a "higher power" but it may not be the (G)od you read/study/picture.

Space is just scarry to think about. It is too vast, and there is just too much to even begin comprehending what is out there

The average length of a trex's penis was 12ft long

space is so fucked

But its still dust.

You're made of atoms that came from a dust cloud like that.

JenniferGarnerBut its still dust.

and niagara falls and old faithful are just water, the great pyramids are just rocks, the grand canyon is just dirt and water, etc....i could go on and on, but basically, you're a fucking idiot.

that is my all time favourite space photo. mostly because of the colors. but now all I can see is a labrador retriever climbing up a giant dick.

so I had to change my wallpaper.
