Universal Oddities

[Anonymous No.14502873]

what are some of the weirdest and wonderful things about the Universe you have /sci/?

can be images, observations, unexplained phenomena, anything.
I'll post a few.

Saturn is so damn perfect its ridiculous, if I couldnt see it with my own eyes through my telescope I'd say it was NASA CGI

the human inhabitants of planet earth are the most noteworthy and interesting thing in the universe.
brightly colored comic book pictures from "nasa" are about as boring as it gets. shart stains in underwear contain more worthwhile information than zog's fake space pictures.

The great attractor
We can't see what it is because the plane of our galaxy is blocking it but we and everything else in our cluster is being sucked into it at thousands of kilometers per second.
Estimated mass: 1000 trillion suns.
In millions (billions?) of years when our galaxy has rotated enough we will be able to see what it is

Does it not seem correct that the force of gravity is at least partly due to motion? Rotation and forward motion?

Do gravity theorists really think if Saturn popped into existence motionless, with the rings around they would stay just like that

ZeV range cosmic rays and once we figure out their origin I have a feeling well have to rewrite many books

Also, if Saturn was not rotating, ( if Saturn in this images state just popped into existence traveling linearly forward at its forward speed without rotation) does it not seem as if it would just crash into the rings in front of it and the rings behind it would trail?

Then there is the thought, if Saturn as in this image, popped into universal space, perfectly motionless, according to the understanding of gravity and it's theories, gravity theorist experts might say, all the materials of those rings would rush toward Saturn's body.

As lame as it maybe from our perspective when compared to crazy shit like the Greta attractor, yeah I’d agree. Organic life and potentially the ease of panspermia is wild.

What’s far more disturbing is that in all likelihood the great attractor is a simple missattribution: The real force causing our local cluster movement is the Shapley Supercluster. That’s right... the largest supercluster in our observable universe is yanking all other superclusters towards it within a certain area.

No. They're 3000 light years away from each other. We're only 1500 light years from Tabby's star.

It's a culmination of both. Our cluster is being sucked into the great attractor which it'self is being sucked into the shapley supercluster

How does gravity work?

What is the force of gravity attraction a hypothetical stationary planet would have?

How different might that gravity force of attraction be if that same planet was moving at velocity X straight forward?
At velocity 5X? 100X? 1000X?

How different might that gravity force of attraction of that same planet be, if it is rotating, X speed? 10X? 100X?

/sci/ is a slow board and being annoying won’t increase your chances of getting a reply. I have an amateur understanding of general relativity, but even as little as I know, the premise of your question is absurd on its face
>if Saturn in this images state just popped into existence traveling linearly forward at its forward speed without rotation
this question is like asking
>if you ignore everything we knew about astronomy before relativity, does relativity still make sense?
there is no possibility that a planet of any kind just
>pops into existence
plants and stars are created (as far as we know today) by highly chaotic and unpredictable turbulence in molecular clouds and accretion disks, where matter clumping up in a chain reaction reaches a mass large enough to (apparently) curve space-time.

in other words, the *motion* of the planets and stars existed *before* the planets and stars. there were already waves and eddies due to the turbulence of the surrounding matter that naturally collected that matter, thus the motion is conserved from before the planet is even born. it’s like asking
>if a human woman gave birth to a fully grown human, would that human still act like a baby?
it’s a childish question, and I’m a person who typically enjoys childishness, but in this case you are insisting that this is valid question without first questioning the implicit assumptions you are making prior to asking the question
