Totally awesome!!! Gets the old gears turning, that's for sure.

 

[Eli]

So. Freaking. Amazing.

Seriously. It boggles the mind.

We're ants on a universal scale.

Imagine what a civilization that started to develop 4 billion years before the Earth was ever formed could be like.

 

[DrPizza]

Our feeble human minds cannot comprehend the size of the universe or the number of stars in the universe.

As soon as that damn numa numa kid came on I click the little X in the top right corner of my screen.

I almost started crying at what the video brought up;

We are not alone. The odds are just too high for us NOT to be. Millions of galaxies each with hundreds of millions of stars, many supporting their own solar systems...plus, the picture was beautiful in itself.

a tear came to my eye when it ended

 

[Anubis]

and that numa thing was in there for a reason if you paied attention

he said something like " but we have much more important things to worry about then the size of the universe" and the the numa sont

it was a bit of humor

It's unfortunate, but typical. The attention span of most lasts roughly 2 minutes is seems nowadays.

A brilliant video and really does bring a tear to the eye at the end. 500,000 MILLION stars in our galaxy alone, and there are how many galaxies? Oh yea, too many to count. Not only do some people think we're alone and by far the most "intelligent" species around (and they can say this with a straight face), but there are WAY more that even think we're important enough to have the creator of all of this care so much about our insignificant lives.

Thank you very much for the video, OP.

I'm not doubting the video was very good, its just that im so sick of seeing that numa kid that I want nothing to do with him. Its not my attention span, its me not wanting anything to do with that kid for the sake of "humor".

 

[George P Burdell]

Nice

 

[SuperNaruto]

Yes, its amazing, I care more about how the heck we get there...

using sci fi as reference... when can we warp 10 there ?

 

[lyssword]

wah, I've seen this vid like 2 months ago on youtube Nice vid btw

 

[brxndxn]

Tear to the eye? NO

Decent video, ya.

Reason for the Numa Numa guy? None that I can see.

 

[ForumMaster]

If we leave now, we can get there in 78 billion years!

I'll pack sandwiches. You bring some sodas.

Road trip!

I"ll bring the beer, or wine.... Lets get some brandy. We can let it age....

 

[gypsyman]

I am confused.
1.) Universe is 12-15 billion years old.
2.) Singularity posits that the big bang and all matter started from a point smaller than the period at the end of this sentence.
3.) Nothing can exceed the speed of light.
4.) How can something traveling for 15 billion years at the speed of light have a spread of 78 billion light years?

1) Relativity does some screwy things with time
2) Some theories about the expansion of the Universe say that space itself also expanded at a high rate.

Article on the subject

[OutHouse]

makes one wonder if the universe has a end to it. if the hubble had the power to see the end of the universe and took a picture, would that picture be of the hubble? :Q

If you can't see why he was in there, well that sucks for you. No it's not suppose to be funny.

 

[illusion88]

What difference does it make? Who cares if we are alone or not in the universe?! Do you have the technology to reach other civilizations or even communicate with them? We could send messages to eacother, but I don't feel like waiting 156 billion years for a response. Sure it admits that there is a good chance that there are other planets with life, some of which might be intelligent. We can do nothing about it right now, or in the forseeable future, so why bother? Unless you hold the secret to faster then light travel, I wouldn't waste too much thought on it.

this is one of the problems science hasn't been able to answer. right now they are calling it the inflation period where the universe expanded faster than light.
