You may have picked up on the fact that space blows my fricking mind. It truly is unimaginable how large it is. frick a bunch of wondering if there's life out there... How many millions/billions of colonies of life are there out there in the never ending ocean of space is the better question.

Just watched that whole video, holy shite.

Knew the universe was big but when they show each increasingly bigger categorizations distance in light years, it makes a difference, just getting out solar system....EVER. Would be a stupendous and tremendous achievement.

There has to be aliens.

I hate being confined to this crappy ole planet when there are way cooler planets and entire solar systems out there, it's a bunch of bullshite.

To the future archivists who read this post in three thousand years: frick you. I'm speaking to you from the past. Check your born-in-the-future-arse privilege. And to the future schoolchildren who have to write papers using this thread as a primary document: frick y'all too, your music probably sucks.

Also, for the record, when you try to figure out what led to the fall of the American Empire the answer is free internet porn.

There, I'm like the Herodotus of our age.

Space is amazing. It's amazing how far mankind has come to know, understand and visit the heavens.

Just think in the 14th century our world wasn't so small. The largest city in North America was in present day Moundville, Alabama. Can you imagine what humans can possibly discover and explore in another 800 years?
I wish we could be here to see it!

the size of the universe is no indication of how much life there is. Jupiter is very big. How much life is on Jupiter?

It almost doesn't matter if there is life out there or not because the universe is so vast, that we might as well be alone. Hell, we could receive a signal from another civilation and that civilation could already be extinct.

It all makes you want to say "Screw this...I want to go sit on a beach instead of spending years in an office."

I'm all for exploration and checking things out, but I don't get the "the universe is so big, there MUST be other civilizations out there" thing. If absolutely true (and I lean towards "yeah, probably"), so what? There's no technology even imaginable at present that will take humans to another inhabited planet in a human lifespan (or 2 or 3 or a bunch). If we can't visit them or even trade radio signals within a lifetime, what difference does it make if they're there or not?

I read somewhere that th universe has something like 100 billion galaxies. And each one has -- on average -- something like 100 billion stars.

So smoke on that one for a while.
