The universe is quite awesome

[disappoint]

As it is, I give it about a 13.7/10

 

[SlitheryDee]

I think so too. Definitely the tip top best universe I've lived in.

Eh, I've seen better. No magic powers in this one.

It's way too safe and peaceful. I wanna be in an Universe where there's constant war between good and evil. And when I say evil, I meant aliens who can destroy our star with the push of a button. Now, that would be awesome!

You need to get around more. Some of them are 74% dark beer and 22% dark chocolate.

Yeah, that graphic will be just as laughable as this one a few centuries hence. "Dark matter" is the modern equivalent of "here there be dragons."

Oh, I think you are, lol.

One is based on observable evidence and the other is....

Your mom.

I'd say yes because they don't know wtf dark mater/energy is. So I would call that magic.

The way I see it is we all live in a giant Jello mold. The planets and stars are pineapple chunks and dark matter/energy is gelatin.

 

[Kaido]

You should look into bowties.

I heard they're cool.

 

[luv2liv]

where are we in the pie chart? the .4%?

 

[disappoint]

where are we in the pie chart? the .4%?

Yes that's us. As one physicist put it, it seems we are just a little bit of pollution.

 

[Soccerman06]

There was a recent article stating those statistics are wrong, there is slightly more matter relative to dark energy.

I got that pie chart from wikipedia. I have seen others show 70% dark matter and more dark energy and visible matter. I didn't know which is newer but the overall notion that we are very small by comparison still holds true.

I tend to agree, but of course the jury is still out on that.

I was watching a show on the science channel the other day where they were trying to ascertain whether space was curved (finite bubble), or flat(infinite) by attempting to measure curvature when triangulating really distant features, and that experiment seemed to support an infinite universe.

If space is infinite and since when looking really far away we are only seeing the very distant past it shouldn't be a surprise we have to resort to models that rely on things labelled so enigmatically as dark matter and dark energy. We are attempting to understand everything, with firsthand knowledge of the tiniest fraction of something so vast.

Bro, 74% dark energy. You don't even know whats out there.

 

[biostud]

Join the dark side...

 

[Red Squirrel]

Now if we can find a way to convert dark matter into energy. :awe:

The current theory (based on observable evidence) suggests that although the universe is finite right now, because it is flat, it will not collapse back down in a "big crunch" but will rather keep on expanding forever.

Interestingly, our galaxy (and everything in it) is not expanding. Neither are other galaxies because they are bound by gravity. The space between them is expanding.

10/10 a good yo mama so fat I applause you sir

Evil aliens who could destroy the sun with the push of a button?

Well they just pushed the button, your move.
