The universe didn't just explode out from a single point in space, that happened to be really far away, so there's no light from the birth of the universe that has to travel long.. you have a strange model of the beginning of the universe if you think that's the way it would behave..

the cmb is light from roughly 300 thousand years after the big bang, when space expanded enough to cool enough to form particles, allowing light to escape out into the nothingness. it is the earliest light we can see because before this time, the universe was opaque to radiation.

That contrary to popular belief, thing's don't immediately freeze when exposed to space. Sure, it's fucking cold as balls up there, but the lack of air means that convection and conduction are out as options of heat transfer.

That leaves heat radiation - which is an extremely inefficient way to transfer energy from one place to another. You're going to be killed by decompression and dehydration (as all the water in your body boils/evaporates) long before you freeze. One of the problems spacecraft have is actually overheating as they can't shed their produced heat fast enough to keep it from building up.

That's why any sci-fi show that shows a spacecraft with large heatsinking devices has done its research, at least as far as the whole "space is cold" thing goes.

>>692410644
The universe is constantly expanding outwards due to the energy produced at the time of the "big bang."

Eventually gravity will overpower this acceleration and the universe will start moving in on itself until it condenses into a singularity and a new big bang will occur

honestly my favorite thing to imagine about space is how truly large it is. The fastest thing possible, light, takes 100,000 years just to get from one end of the milky way to the other...and there are HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of other galaxies, inconceivable distances...and at the same time, there are SEPTILLIONS of atoms in a single grain of sand

>>692413759
Momentum is the product of energy and velocity. This holds for non-relativistic massive particles (total energy dominated by rest-energy: E = m c 2 , and therefore p = m v ) as well as for massless particles like photons ( v = c and hence p = E / c ). Light doesn't have momentum in the normal sense that matter has.

It doesn't matter so much that we are made of some of the most common elements, that is to be expected. The rare thing is that the gravitational, thermodynamic, hydrodynamic and indeed quantum mechanical conditions were suitable for the matter to organise itself into self-replicating, energy-conserving, entropy defying structures like human beings. You vastly undervalue the preciousness and rarity of life. And even more so, intelligent life.

It's really big, mindboggling, maybe infinitely big even, and really fucking old.

Our brains struggle to comprehend how big the universe is because everything here on Earth, and even the Earth itself, is so small when compared to the immense scale space.

We can see light from galaxies that has taken more than 13 billion years to reach us!

However, the distance to the edge of the observable universe is about 46 billion light years because the universe is expanding all of the time. Though a photon might have only travelled for 13.8 billion years, the distance from us to the point it came from is, at present, is 46 billion light years!

But wait, the universe is much bigger than just 46 billion light years across. But that's when the laws of physic prevent us from really measuring it. It could be infinitly big, but in the most small scale models it would be 8 times 46 billion light years, but we really don't know cause it's so big.

And of course it's also old.. 14 billion years.. the fuck am I able to comprehend or relate to a number as high as that.. I can't even begin to imagine.

Right now we're at just the right time to try to observe as much as we can.

The universe is just far enough across but not so big that we can't see to the edge (background radiation and whatnot).

But the universe has expanded enough that it's cool enough that when we try to look out there, we aren't blinded by the intensity of radiation in front of us. It's not blocking our view of itself basically.

I guess the most interesting thing I know about space is that we know very little and that it's our next frontier. Even more interesting is the frontier after space. One could argue that after you've explored space some then that's all there is. However the concept of space was pretty foreign and abstract 500 years ago. It's hard to imagine what we'll be doing 500 years from now.

goddamn halfwits. it's called an alcubierre drive, OK? read up on it.

The coolest thing to know from space is that currently its impossible for humanity to persist in space as a microgravity environment. The design of the human body is so firmly fixated in a 1-g environment that it would require immense augmentation/modification, and a rethinking of reproduction such that fetal development stays normal. If problems are rectified the next hurdle would be creating systems that are robust against meteoroid impact, and solving the space trash crisis. Lastly creating long-term, effective, and cheap space transport operations is a venture that can only currently be supported by popular demand, which is lacking currently. However, if more people decide that they want to make money in space, there will be a market and therefore a solution to every problem as of yet.

I'm drunk OP. But I've been recently theorizing the beginning workings of our universe while I haven't been. I believe I may inspire a genius some day to finish the progress I've made. Someone more math oriented at least for the time being. I've leaped out to suggest that space is not empty. It is simply made of smaller particles that are not detectable in our current technology. These subquark particles are simply positive and negative energy particles that follow a simple gathering and building of energy. The sub particle energy brings all of these particles together to mathematically and randomly grow up into a supervenience as the force of attraction allows one particle to have more energy potential then another. Leading to the subquantum particle (limited amount of subquantum particles) implosion of the explosion of objects such as quarks,atoms and so on (subquantum particles joining together while losing it's independence to a greater attraction relationship), Our universe is dying, without a doubt. We are simply an explosion. . Part 2 coming soon.

>>692412398
That's not a penny you jew

Stars can endure in a process called stellar collision in which two stars either merge together into a big star or another star slowly takes another star's materials and enlarge itself.
Since black holes are dead stars they can also partake in stellar collision,meaning black holes can come together and become even nigger black holes.
Although that may sound cool, most stars and black holes are too far apart to cause tis phenomenon

>>692417107
To travel across the universe using a warp drive, you would have to harness the mass-energy of the universe. Why don't YOU read up on it.

It would be possible to travel across galactic distances, but you would still have to consume mind-fuckingly huge amounts of energy in order to warp spacetime that powerfully. Spacetime is like a 3D rubber membrane that is very, VERY stiff. It can only be flexed in the presence of high energy density. To contort it in the way described by the Alcubierre drive, you would have to suck all of the energy density out of the space in front of you, and rush it to the space behind you. This takes lots and lots of energy per second.

Sigh. Once again a lack of education grabs a /b/tard by the balls and compels him to expose his empty brain to the world. Krasnikov already proved that you could use a microscopically small dilation to achieve the same effect, which would require trivial amounts of matter. There are still challenges, of course, but they are quickly being overcome. The negative energy thing is the big one now, I suppose.

>>692417507
Rereading my post I don't make any sense whats so ever. These sub quantum particles making up of positive and negative charge become stronger as they radiate energy outwards onto other like particles. Such particles then become the same by means of causality and continue this flow of attraction until there is a large "ball" of energy concentrating the center. Eventually through natural mathematical selection and mathematical sequences there subquantum particles will reach a perfect pattern that allows a "quark" to be formed in such a fast scale that a shit ton of these are formed. Eventually as causality builds, the quarks are eventually completed in it's cycle and are cooled enough for atoms to be formed.

On a side note, I've discovered how real "ghost" may be real using these subquantum particles. But I've had too much ethanol in my system to properly seize the the correct steps to display my facts and steps.
Sorry friends, ghosts may be a reality just by using a smaller object. Cheers, all is not lost!

>>692418021
You simply forgot that energy is a ladder, energy is in it's own supervenience when the right mathematical conditions exist, inwhich such math relies on the same energy of attraction. Positive and negative energy. I suggest you partake in meditating on this ideology.

Not proven. Never will be. It's called the event horizon. Every explosion can be measured, the big bang only goes so far. Then the gravitational pull of the unimaginably dense black hole in the center of the universe that we cannot physically see due to the speed of light will pull everything back to it, causing another big bang.

It could be contacting as I type, but the event horizon is so far away that the light and radiation will never reach humanity at this cosmic location. Unless we figure out how to salvage this rock we are killing, or figure out how to get the fuck away from this chunk of shit we call home, and either stay there long enough for all the stars to exaust their fuel or for the aforementioned collapse of the universe to consume us.

To those who are reading this and are looking for the truth of our existence, I suggest that you find it yourself using nothing but the law of attraction.

Quite simply, understanding the law of attraction will reveal both our history and our future. All it takes is understanding this basic rule and what the events could follow. If you currently lack the intelligence to understand what I mean, I suggest you start understanding the "laws" of the universe. It's really not that difficult to imagine the future or the past. Just remember one key factor. Energy builds into objects and objects attract energy. Thus, the key to expansion of all things.

The expansion of the universe is actually accelerating

That the moon is Earth's shield, and that for it to be close enough to defend earth from asteroids and the like, it would have had to impact earth at some point and bounced off just a bit to be exactly where it needs to be, and if this wasn't set up perfectly as it is, there would be no life on Earth.

There will be a point in time and space which humanity cannot explore beyond. Dark energy between clusters of galaxies will in essence put a wall up between them so that exploration to other clusters becomes physically impossible. Gravity pockets separate and dark energy fills the gap between them, further separating them as the universe expands. As this happens, all the photons that are emitted by the other super clusters will eventually become so faint that they cannot be detected. This is in several billion years, so we have plenty of time to explore and admire the beauty of the cosmos. Space is truly awesome.
