astronomy = religion,shittons of theories. no proof

lets start

The (possible) future nation of the TRS pledges probes followed by full expedition teams if there are people with the expertise and willpower to create such missions. Immediately.

You are 23 and we're rapidly approaching a cure for human senescence. Stop being a pussy and seize the day, because you can. Every single great person has had shit happen in their life, as a normal chump. Make your mark on history.

>Despite not being as physically strong as other species, we are easily the most fierce predator on the planet and could kill everything off into extinction including ourselves if we wanted to. That's hardly a weak species.

The energy that the Earth recieves from the sun in one hour at high noon is enough to sustain the world's energy needs for an entire year.

Now understand that the Earth is roughly 150,000,000 kilometers from our sun. Think of all that energy just radiating into space.

Now watch this video, and shit your pants.

Then remember there are over 100,000,000,000 stars in our own galaxy.

Then remember there are over 100,000,000,000 galaxies in our observable universe, some with up to a trillion stars.

Is /sci/ always this cheerful, or is there massive samefagging going on?

Or have enough resources that you're not worried about running out of them. Such as, oh, the entire asteroid belt and near-Earth asteroids.

I used to feel the same way, in fact, many would expect someone who has had my life experiences to be extremely pessimistic. I am about some things, such as the future state of mainstream society, but being on the internet as frequently as I have been, reading and watching talks other educated people give and the seemingly increasing pace of progress, I see an eventual point where scientific, technological and intellectual progress will just overtake the rest, and/or split off to form the good society.

If it doesn't happen, I believe /sci/ is already aware I plan to create it if all else fails.

Space travel, exploration, settlements, terraforming.
Genetic engineering, eliminating all diseases
Making the world a richer, smarter place in general, effectively fixing everything from widespread starvation to use of fossil fuels.
Technologies for a better post-scarcity system.
AI and neural enhancements.
This entire system is designed so that if there are a group of people that believe they have a comprehensive and relatively easy way of doing, let's say, terraforming Mars, THEY FUCKING CAN.
LET THEM DRAW UP THE PLANS
LET THEM TRANSPORT THE TECHNOLOGIES THEY NEED UP INTO SPACE
LET EVERY SINGLE OBSERVATORY ON EARTH WATCH US CHANGE ANOTHER WORLD

Pretty much, man.

Woah...

OP... I know what you mean, man.

Shit.

That's fuckin' Venus man.

FUCKING.

VENUS.

Anybody else "celebrating" Carl Sagan Day?

So, assume we can travel back in time.
Say you went back one day and went to wherever you were on that day.

What would happen when your past-future self say you?
Would you have an instant recollection of that day and meeting yourself?

Or would the universe implode?

ITT: We discuss lucid dreams and how to have them.

Link for those who don't know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream

I find that its easier to have a lucid dream by thinking through the kind of dream you wish to have while lying on your back counting your heartbeats. Whatever you do, do not roll over or itch yourself, it will make you become more awake. Just ignore it. When checking to make sure your dreaming, dont pinch yourself. You will still feel pain. Instead, look in a mirror and check if your there clearly. If not, your asleep.

Also, fun shit you do in them. I personallay like to fly around and mold objects together.
