I don't think you understand how light works or travels my friend. I may be misunderstanding your post, but it seems like you don't understand why we would be seeing a 1400 year old image.

It's very simple. Light travels very very fast but it still has a fixed speed and cannot instantly travel wherever it wants. The amount of distance light travels in one year is a light-year. Since these ayylmaos are 1400 light-years away, that means it takes 1400 years for light from that solar system to travel all the way here to Earth. Thus, we are seeing an image that has traveled across space for ~1400 years, which would mean we are looking at image at least 1400 years old.

So we can't really tell how they would be doing now. The ayylmaos could be 1400 years more advanced now or they could have wiped themselves out and we're just looking at a ghost of the past.

It's crazy how science works lol.

>I got a McDonalds to treat my self for solving this

What gets me up in the morning is knowing we're becoming interstellar. We must become interstellar.... there is no other choice. It's the only reason for me to stay alive to see the coming extraordinary events we'll bare witness. It's sad how most people don't even have an ounce of passion towards it, everyone would rather distract themselves with their phones and mindless social networking. I just with people would realize the potential humanity has to colonize other worlds, to quite literally spread the consciousness of one spherical orb to another. No one I know personally is excited, it's a lonely passion to have, i'm just glad you here share the same feelings.

Which invention/innovation has contributed the most to the spread and propagation of the unimaginably glorious civilization most of us currently live in?

I have a suspicion that anyone who says anything other than 'industrial-scale fabrication methods' is an idiot or a salesman, but I'm not a scienceman myself (just an enthusiast) and I'm willing to be wrong.

Are y'all optimistic about the future? You think we'll make it? I can't say I am, but again, I'm willing to be wrong.

Yeah bro, Neil "the D" is just riding coat tails compared to Carl actually putting shit in actual fucking space. Negrophysics has his trivia down, but he's not even half the science that Carl was.

He will always be with us, watching from the stars.

We ware a way for the universe to simulate itself.

/sci/ how do we get rid of the anti-science libtards? They are destroying scientific advancement and research.

>But science isn't cancer. they can't use the same fear tactic to inspire people to learn because there's no threat to them.
You're missing the point. It's not about fear, it's about using awareness to encourage involvement. Raising awareness about a subject engages people, it encourages them to become more involved, more educated, and to take a more active role with regards to that subject.


For example - every couple of weeks I help one of the astronomy professors at my university with a public observing event. We set up scopes some day or some night, he presents a short lecture on some interesting topic that the session is focused on, then we take folks up on the roof our out on the lawn.

We had an intern from the student paper come to the session we had for the Venus transit back in June. His editor asked him to write an article about it in the paper and he'd (reluctantly) complied. He asked us some basic questions for his story and was about to leave when we asked him to stick around for the lecture and the transit (it was the last chance to see it for more than a century after all). He stayed for the lecture and came up on the roof with the rest of the crowd to see the transit. He stayed for three hours, talking with me, other students, professors. Asking us questions about other astronomy topics, talking to us about the kinds of classes we took, the research we had worked on, etc. He's come to every observing event since and last time told us he'd signed up for one of the non-major astronomy courses offered by the department for the Fall.

Is that journalism student going to become the next Hubble or Van Allen? Probably not. But our outreach encouraged him to become more interested, more educated, and more involved in science.


He's better for it and so are we.

It's meaningless!

If it exists, if it there is an infinite multiple numbers of universes, we won't be able to even notice them. If they don't exist and this universe is all alone, we still won't be able to look outside of it. If there are 34 other universes and that's it, we won't be able to know either.

But if we are able to know, if somehow a second universe says "hi" to us in any way, then I wouldn't call it another universe, I'd say it's part of our own. So I don't like the word "multiverse" to begin with. "Universe" means, to me, what exists in its entirety, so if you prove there is anything more than what we know, I'd only say we didn't know everything (and we don't anyway) and add that new thing to my concept of universe.

Whoever says otherwise eats poo.

my body is ready.
