The Universe or however many of them there are.....explained

saw this and thought to myself that it would occupy a few grey matter resources on the good ship www.newmodelarmy.org

puts in perspective really. or at least help us to try and understand what we are not capable of understanding. if that makes any sense

not really a discussion time for me. just  point of information to share

so a picture tells a thousand words. and pas do too. for al sort of vested interests we have repeatedly had the world landmasses presented to us inaccurately. the most popular map is actually from some time in the 16th century. Peter Arno confronted this and produced a map that accurately reflects the size of countries and continents.

it can be found here http://www.petersmap.com/table.html

it makes for some very interesting facts.

Good post, mate, although it made my brain hurt a bit...

I truly believe that there is life on other planets... I don't mean that there are super-powers with massive spaceships, all ready to come down on our asses like in Independence Day (or 'V', a much better version of that same story... one for all you sci-fi nerds out there  ) I just mean that this tiny little part of the WHOLE universe is all that we can see.  I don't think that the planets we know about are capable of supporting life.  But lets face it, we don't have the technology to investigate the other 99% of the universe...

And if they're out there, why is it assumed that they have our level of technology?  It might the equivalent of 1945 or 1066 or, I dunno, some sea-based slugs trying to pluck up the courage to jump onto dry land.  There are some worms wriggling about on some planet or moon, just outside of our telescopes, that we don't know about yet... yes, that is LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS!

To say that us silly evolved apes are the only life in the whole galaxy is like thinking if you drive far enough, you'll fall off the edge of the world.

Well, that's me getting all cosmic and shit...

You might want to google "multiverse pseudoscience".

[Heno]

i'd rather discuss things on a forum to be respectfully honest. if google is the answer to all things debatable then we might as well conceded now. i still don't accept google as a verb either.

all that said, and being a lazy git, what would i see if i were to google it?

[Heno]

so wobs. i saw this earlier and thought of this thread. seems like we will live forever and that we do already

its a long but very good read. bound to point to some sort of creationist hijacking going to happen

another wickedly good piece, this time about the fermi paradox. its self explanatory, which is helpful, because i couldn't explain it
