Gnarly, post pics of crazy shit in space.

Was watching a show on Discovery, there is a Galaxy that is going to collide with ours in a Billion od years. It's travelling at 75 miles a day. Shits Epic

a billion years from now, ohhh noooo, think of the children.

pictures of nebulas are tight though, they look like such uriah heap album covers

ya, we're gonna collide with Andromeda, our closest neighbor. nobodys really 100% on if black holes exist and if they do we wouldnt be able to see them

last week a couple german scientists apparently accelerated a light beam using microwaves and a beam of light through two prisms to make it go faster. and as we all know, you break the cosmic speed limit, you have to start every realm of scientific understanding over from scratch! lookin forward to see how it turns out

nebulas are just clouds of dust, hydrogen and plasma and is the first stage of a stars cycle. they make for some good pics as long as you got a good photographer who knows the good angles

heres some more

How is it we can take detailed photos of nebula, but still dont know what the surface of pluto looks like
Title: Re: Black Holes/Space
Post by: lophatrophazoa on August 23, 2007, 09:29:51 PM
because nebulas are big and pluto is small
Title: Re: Black Holes/Space
Post by: diegomenendez on August 23, 2007, 09:30:40 PM
So how far away are these Nebulas? Are they in our Galaxy?
Title: Re: Black Holes/Space
Post by: lophatrophazoa on August 23, 2007, 09:34:57 PM
their probly in our galaxy, considering the milky way has some 200-400 billion stars. and to expand on your other question, when you look up at night you will see a ton of stars, but never pluto. not even with a telescope can you see it. so with hubble out there they can zoom in enough on a star forming

it was on digg. somehow they accelerated a light beam and it clocked in at faster than the (what i thought to be) speed of light. Einstein's Relativity is completely fucked if it's true, i havent heard anything else on it though

here's a cool fact. the universe is expanding every day, but it's not just getting bigger at the same rate, it's accelerating.

physics is one of the best and most interesting classes at school. if i had my life over i would have become a physicist.

yeah, i love physics but for me it gets a bit boring when you get into the gas theory and wave theory. All the Newtonian stuff is definitely fun though.

Another cool fact.  Since its expanding faster every second, eventually every peice of matter will be stretched so thin that it will vanish into dust, pretty much bringing the universe back to pre-big bang.

Post by: grimcity on August 24, 2007, 12:44:26 PM
They didn't actually prove that they were able to make light go faster than Einstein predicted... some peer review refutes the results as well as what's actually going on in the experiment.

There's a chance that the experiment is causing light particles to transport to different locations (a la "The Fly"), but the established/accepted speed of light isn't affected by that. It's not really a speed issue so much as it's part of the trippy side of quantum physics.

I took astronomy 120 at my university and thught it was gonna be dope shit like this, but it was so gay, there was ridiculous amounts of math involoving parsecs and other equations i dont even want to think about

should have been so much more interesting than it was
