We've explored an entire .0001% of the entire universe? Holy shit.

Who's we?

I don't think you understand just how much .0001% is when you're talking about the universe.

We've only explored .0001% of the universe.

That means that it's very possibly that a planet exists with some sort of Lovecraftian horror that instantly posesses the mind of anyone who looks at it with a telescope.

Why are you wasting your time looking through a telescope when you could be here?


ALSO: If it's still undiscovered, then any images we see with a telescope would be from thousands of years ago. Enjoy your 2D fossils.

NO MORE FUNDING FOR SPACE EXPLORATION SO WE ARE STUCK ON THIS BALL OF MUD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

>>4754490
I HATE YOU SO MUCH OBAMA

>>4754526
He's lost my vote. Not that he ever had it in the first place, mind you.

>>4754526
Screw your shitty science, we need that research grant money so poor lazy niggers can have health care.

It's for the greater good.

>>4754526
Obama did what he had to. He wasn't the one who ate up all the money, and you know it.

>>4754457
>2D girls
Not in this universe, nope, sorry.

>>4754490
>>4754526
>>4754533
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the program in question not working out very well and was going severely overbudget or something?

But this is a digression. POST MORE STAR TREK STUFF.

Lol percantages

>>4754539

I share your sentiment, but "lazy" should be the last word out of the mouth of someone on /jp/

>>4754552
I don't think you have been paying attention to the deficit inflation under our glorious leader.

>>4754558
Who are you to say that two-dimensional organisms do not exist somewhere in this universe?

Who are you? What do you want? Where are you going?

>>4754552
He may not have started it, but he sure as hell went along for the ride, and then some.

He's tripled the deficit Bush made in 8 years in 1, and cut spending on science for shit like health care and labor unions.

>>4754552
He's still a fucking traitor to the spacenoids just like dubya before him.
This bullshit almost makes me want to have a child and raise him in a way that he drops the first huge space colony on Earth. Hopefully on Ausfailia.

>>4754573
Have you ever heard of the Hour of the Wolf?

My father told me about it. It's the time between three and four in the morning. You can't sleep, and all you can see is the troubles and the problems and the ways that your life should've gone but didn't. All you can hear is the sound of your own heart.

I've been living in the Hour of the Wolf for seven days, Lyta. Seven days. The Wolf and I are now on a first-name basis. In times like this, my father used to take one large glass of vodka before bed. "To keep the Wolf away," he said. And then he would take three very small drinks of vodka, just in case she had cubs while she was waiting outside.

It doesn't work.

>>4754628

It works for me.

But it's usually more than a shot. OH LOOK THAT TIME IS COMING AGAIN.

So... /jp/ hates Obama?

This shitty board just got less shitty.

>>4754647
I don't know what you are talking about. Obama is an absolutely lovely fishing village. I would never say anything bad about it.

>>4754647
McFail would have fucked us in the butt too.
Seriously, it's me or every four years all the candidates get exponentially dumber and/or full shit than the previous ones?

>>4754682
I'm waiting for a third party to emerge so we stop getting shitty candidates who were simply selected by their party so they can get elected and pay back favors via legislation.

I want a dark horse like Jefferson to get elected and make all the politicians shit their pants in fear.

>>4754682
Nothing will ever top the heaping dose of terrible that was the Carter and Ford campaign.

>>4754647
Everybody hates Obama. He has done a good job of enforcing that opinion.

>>4754638
>>4754457
Here's to the finest crew in Starfleet!

>>4754729
That's not the Next Generation crew.

Did anyone else fap furiously to Dragon Age: Origins when they found out that Captain Janeway voiced Flemeth?

I find it hilarious that people elected a CHICAGO politician and thought he wouldn't be corrupt.

The fact that he trolled millions into chanting a phrase from Bob the Builder just makes it even better. I hope he confesses that it was just a dare from one of his daughters once he leaves office.

>>4754552
Didn't Obama, in one year, add the same amount Bush built up in 8 years? So glad he's here to double our deficit and sell us to China.

>I find it hilarious that people elected a CHICAGO politician and thought he wouldn't be corrupt.
This. What the fuck, America? Did you not watch The Untouchables?

>>4754830
If real world China was like Gensokyoan China all would be right.

TOO CLOUDY!

though there was a meteor shower at the beginning of the winter that was SO CASH.

>>4754840
Wouldn't Gensokyoan China try to eat us?

>>4754861
If you are suggesting what I think you are suggesting I don't see how this is a problem.

>>4754832
I'm sure they did, he was simply voted in by niggers, SEIU, and dumbass kids in college who wanted to stick it to the man.

Also, McCain was a terrible candidate. A can of soggy bread could've got more votes than him.

>>4754880

McCain wasn't the one I was worried about. McCain dying and Palin taking over is what I was afraid of.

>>4754880

Hey, i'm not in college.

>>4754880
>kids in college who wanted to stick it to the man.
But college kids don't vote.

>>4754920
I beg to differ.

>>4754920
Not the smart ones who give a shit about their education and don't bother with pointless politics.

I'm talking about the fags like the ones who threw a riot when Ann Coulter was scheduled to speak.

>>4754939
A bunch of fags threw a hissy fit because Karl Rove gave a speech at my campus and bought up all the tickets so they could stage a walkout. Which sucked for me because I couldn't get one even though seeing Rove was one of the assignments for one of my Poli Sci classes.

>>4754937
My history teacher offered 50 bonus points just to get registered and vote. Shit I voted nigger.

>>4754961
I hate these "get out and vote" things. The kind of person who is too apathetic to pay attention to the issues and vote in an election is the kind of person I don't want deciding who gets in office.

>>4754956
>seeing Rove was one of the assignments for one of my Poli Sci classes.

You could've just turned on Fox News, he lives under one of their desks.

>>4754961
My history teacher did something like that too, I left the ballot blank though.

>>4754979
I usually don't vote because of that. I'm too lazy to actually care about politics and shit.

But, 50 points... could not pass that up man. That's like me skipping 4-5 homework assignments.

>>4755001
you shulda marked it all wrong so when they do a recount they will argue about it for hours.

>>4754457
So here's what we do, we buy ourselves a small island, declare our self a country, install a ballistic missile intercept system, get some other country so mad at us(this should be easy, we are expert trolls) that they use their nuclear deterrent against us, intercept missiles(or we could do this:http://lanl.arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0801/0801.1694.pdf).). Then we extract critical masses of fissionables from them, make nuclear bombs(or just use the warhead) and use them to power a project Orion nuclear bomb powered ultra-heavy lift spacecraft(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion))..
We shall call said spacecraft the Okuu and it will have a giant picture of our favorite nuclear-powered crow on it.

(And my rule 9 picture of a nuclear lightbulb design rocket appears to have malicious code in it, so here's a picture of Okuu)

>>4755145
I see no problem with this. While we're buying an island all for our selves, let's install some furniture too

>>4755145
The hardest part of this entire plan would be getting /jp/ to leave their rooms.

>>4755145
You forgot the giant robots.

>>4755174
Obviously we purchase over the interwebonet, then, since we are obviously rich enough to own an island and stuff, we could build some jets that look just like our rooms, and hire people to kidnap each other over night and take them in the jet that looks like their room to an exact replica on the island.

>>4755174
That's why NEETs like us make excellent candidates for being launched into space, we don't care much about venturing outside much and can handle little human interaction(though on an Orion style rocket with lots of humans on it, this isn't an issue).

>.0001%
Hahaha what? it's so much less than that

>>4755174

/jp/'s own paradise?

They'd flock to this island.

>>4755179
The new trend is flying magical lolis.

>>4755187
You got a better idea on where to get the critical masses of fissionables, a way to raid nuclear warhead storage, a way to get SILEX enrichment to work, or have a nuclear fusion reactor that has a positive energy balance?

>>4755198
Ehh, I don't know.

PRO:
- Utopian paradise

CON:
- Interact with other people
- Meet people from the Internet in real life

The second one is the dealbreaker for me. Any island filled with stinking weeaboos is no paradise.
Not that you're all stinking weeaboos, of course, but there are bound to be enough to make it no fun for anyone.

>>4755145
Sure, let me put this on my to-do list right next to "construct a mega-structure that captures all the energy output of the Sun".

>>4755194
Not really, we've charted 100 billion stars/planets.

>>4755179
Oh how could I forget, they will be necessary to create the rocket superstructure.

Those don't carry nuclear ballistic missiles now do they? I don't think that stealing a submarine nuclear reactor is going to be worth it either.

>>4755281
Boomer boats were a cold war phenomenon. Attack subs can still carry them, but it's specialty equipment.

Sure sounds like butthurt Americans who refuse to pay their debts by raising their taxes one percent because they're lazy assholes in here.

Seriously, the people of France paid off their war debt with SPARE CHANGE. Why can't you just man up and quit blaming your presidents and actually pay off your debt?

>>4755292
Because our dumbass presidents keep raising the national debt to levels that can't be paid off even if the taxes were raised to 100%.

>>4755281
Almost forgot, we need about 800 0.14 kiloton nuclear bombs to reach low earth orbit, you wouldn't happen to have that many would you?

We could just build a nuclear Verne gun(http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/03/150-kiloton-nuclear-verne-gun.html)) with just one 150 kiloton nuclear bomb, but we wouldn't be able to launch people into space that way. There'd be significantly less nuclear fallout though...

>>4755297
And then we complain that they're hindering science and technology when they cut back on space funding when there's nothing out there for us anyway.

Debt isn't real man it's just like a concept or a number

>>4755324
O'RLY? Did you know that a typical 1 mile diameter asteroid is estimated to have over $20 trillion US dollars worth of industrial and precious metals?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_mining

One asteroid contains enough gold to crash the price of gold into the ground and there are lots of asteroids.

>>4755346
And since Obama's looking at doing cheaper space missions, NASA's contemplating visiting asteroids...
http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=219700088

>>4755346

Clearly we should follow the route the Spanish did. That ended well.

>asteriods
Considering NASA's current state of things.... Russia, ESA, China and Japan will get there first.

Good work, republicans.

I'll get subsidized health insurance now instead of going without as a NEET

Niggers doing alright by me, if you ask me.

ITT faggotry.

I think 2D girl in a parallel universe are much more likely then on other planets.

You can't explore .0001% of something that never ends.

What the fuck.

>>4755788
While a parallel universe might be in 2d there would be no "simulated" 3rd dimension there for it wouldn't be anything like you imagine. In fact since it has no depth there could be millions of 2 dimensional universes in every single space we know. Even in your brain.

http://www.youtube.com/user/10thdim Whats some stuff here to get an idea.

We've explored .000(repeating)1% of the universe. Since the universe may very well be infinite. Does that mean we've explored infinite infinity?

>>4755796
No one ever said there was no ending. Actually scientists believe our universe is nothing more then a space time bubble. Whats beyond it no one knows, no one knows if it's even end in a strict sense it might be something like the earth with no "end". If you walk around the world or dig through it you still end up on earth but when you overcome gravity you go somewhere else. This same principle may apply to our universe.

>>4754457
You should elaborate, does this mean we explored ".0001%" of the "known" as in seen universe by the Hubble telescope. Or does this mean we explored ".0001%" with the help of Hubble and and we suspect theres more but theres no actual evidence such as photographs. ?

>>4755346
>can contain more
key word here "can" not does, most astoroids are nothing more then what you'd call "rock". Not every asteroid is rich in metals we need. By that logic the earth is a fucking silicone heaven

Composition of the continental crust:
SiO2- 60.6%
Al2O3- 15.9%
CaO- 6.4%
MgO- 4.7%
Na2O- 3.1%
FeO- 6.7%
K2O- 1.8%
TiO2- 0.7%
P2O5-0.1 %

>>4755836
thank god, we can do tons of breast implants before we deplete the earth!

>>4755841
Or make a huge super computer! Too bad we'd have to have Gundam 00 style energy output to actually separate the Si from the O2 and make use of it.

>>4755817
It's not a "bubble", that would imply we live in a closed universe, which we do not. We also don't live in an open universe, either.

We live in a flat universe where the energy of matter is counterbalanced by the energy due to gravitational pull, which equals a total energy of 0. Since the total energy is zero, that means the universe came from nothing.

Thus, the beginning of our universe is is explained by the fact that everything came from nothing.

>>4755879
By bubble they mean space-time as in a bubble of it since space time was created at the beginning of the big bang and is expanding. Remember space-time is made out of dark mater and dark energy mostly.

>>4755890
Why don't you take your shitty Croatian cosmology and blow it out your ass?

>>4755895
I will expel my brown matter today thank you.

>this thread
why did we change from japan/random, again?

>>4755902

>Dark Energy

What in the fuck, this is not "something" of the universe.
Dark Energy is something that seems to come from OUTSIDE the universe, or at least the event horizon of matter and energy as we know it.

>>4755924
Science is scary.

hehe intergalactic gas

>>4755924
What. No. You're a fucking moron.

>>4755924
>In physical cosmology, astronomy and celestial mechanics, dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to increase the rate of expansion of the universe.

>>4755944
This response is implied. You do not need to state it.
