/sci/ - Science & Math

Alright /sci, how is it possible that we can say with confidence what lies in the farthest reaches of space (far outside even our own local galaxy group) but not know if the fucking Oort Cloud exists?? Someone please explain this shit to me because it’s ruining my marriage

Water from the Oort cloud?
Crossing the galactic plane every 35 million years. The change in direction, Disturbed the ice comets.


There is a new book that says, Dark Matter is denser in the galactic plane, and when the system passes through it, it causes mass extinctions, but does not address . The super large animal size. (female author all I know)

I know. I've been looking at models of our own Oort cloud, and you know, the more you stare at them, the more they kind of resemble a Dyson Swarm already. Even though it's just billions of rocks unlucky enough not to be in the planetary gravitational range.

So for the ay lmaos, it's the arrangement and the origin of them, rather than the quantity, that most presses for an explanation.

i just find this interesting
