why the fuck is space so cool

[Anonymous No.10883234]

ive always wondered this but why is space so fascinating to us? maybe its the amount of it yet to be discovered or is it some primal thoughts

I actually find astronomy fascinating. It is midwits who pretend to like it, and say "why the fuck is space so cool", despite knowing nothing. Their interest in it, harms science, rather than aids it.

I like it because it's vastly different from "down here" and thus seems like a wonderful world to explore. Plus, unlike a fantasy made up world, space is governed by laws of physics that are consistent and well developed because it's a part of our natural world. And thus it's fun to read about the various forces that are involved in space and being able to relate those forces to "mundane" things.

I hope that one day I get to send something into space.

It's not a different world to explore it's completely empty and you would spend literally decades traversing it to look at a star or piece of rock without any life on it.

Real life isn't science fiction and space is fucking boring as shit.

Why are you stupid? There’s literally trillions of stars.

.... re-read.... you just realised you are wrong

Trillions of stars means nothing. What are you gonna do? Look at 4 pixels of white light in a telescope? You have no chance to get there in your lifetime, or the lifetime of your next 4000 descendants. You won't even be able to reach the asteroid belt in our own solar system, which is boring as shit.

Yes, space is mostly emptiness, but it's not entirely made up of emptiness. And those parts that aren't emptiness are interesting.

>you would spend literally decades traversing it to look at a star or piece of rock without any life on it.
You know that space includes the Solar system and it doesn't take decades to reach something else in it. The moon is about 3 days away using current technology.

>piece of rock without any life on it.
Life isn't the only thing that's interesting in space. The fact that you think otherwise shows that you don't know enough about space.

It's the same as far as the eye can see, grey rocks, inert, no atmosphere, nothing happens on it. So interesting...

If there was a moon base it would be cool to look out of the window on the first day. The coolest thing would be seeing the earth.

And then the mundane things inside the moon base would be far more interesting than the moon itself. You'd spend all your time looking at the internet or talking to people in the moon base and looking forward to going back to earth.

because space expanded and spread the initial burst energy from the big bang over an increasingly large volume. That's why the cosmic microwave background radiation has a temperature of approximately 3 kelvin.

The Sea of Tranquility is definitely different from the Fermi crater.

>grey rocks, inert, no atmosphere, nothing happens on it. So interesting...
That's one of the reasons why the moon is interesting to some. The moon has no erosion, is geologically dead, has formed long ago, and is believed to have come from the same material the Earth has (btw this would have been figured out if we never went to the moon). These features mean that rocks on the moon could be like what Earth rocks were long ago. Knowing more about what the Earth is like is definitely interesting. Sure, the moon wasn't completely inactive between then and now, it's had lava flows, moon-quakes, and massive impacts. So samples would have to be gathered from across the moon to figure out general trends, and that investigation is definitely interesting.

Again, the fact that you find something boring does in no way make interest in it invalid.

Wrong. Stars are composed of hydrogen and helium, which are things, so stars are things, so there is not “nothing”.
