Confidemus Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 It's the biggest thing in the, well, universe, so let's fucking discuss it. I'm an utter space geek and I'm not ashamed to admit it. What things about the cosmos do you particularly dig, fellow forummers? I love the sheer mind blowing scale of it. I love it's extremities, such as Gamma ray bursts, supernovae, Pulsars, Neutron stars, hot Jupiters, the lot. Share your love of space, chums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I have always wondered how Warp Drive is possible and if we will ever truly reach Vulcan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForzaDundee Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Really interested and fascinated in astrophysics and cosmology, me To be honest I just fucking love science in general, we should have a topic dedicated to discussing and sharing cool science related stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I hope the mods know what they are in for with this thread. If our banned astrophysicist, Paulo Sergio fails to make appearances under no less than 12 different alias' I for one will be amazed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) They say they reckon there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on Earth, our Sun being just one of them. No idea how they work that out but I hope it's a true fact and not just another scientific myth passed off as fact. Scale is awesome. Just imagine going from sub-atomic to universe size... Why couldn't you get another jump of that magnitude?! Edited May 24, 2013 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The universe fascinates me. The sheer scale of it is incomprehensibles. Looking at stars on a clear night is one of life's pleasures. Anyone who believes that in the depths of space no other planet sustains life, is a moron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Looking at stars and thinking that you could be looking at something the doesn't exist anymore is pretty cool or sad. I also believe that intelligent life exists but the universe is set out in such a way that its impossible for species to contact or visit each other. I usually try and catch the sky at night but think its a travesty that this program is on so late when you see some of the trash on tv these days. Surely giving people more understanding about the universe is a good thing and might help some overcome their insecurities that can cause racism and hatred. Some people don't think any deeper than beer, tits and football though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I love the idea of infinite alternate universes existing at the same time, where every possibilty is possible. However, Josh Falkingham is probably an irritating wee fud in all of them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I can't recommend the Astronomy Cast podcast highly enough - http://www.astronomycast.com/ I also like the Exposing PseudoAstronemy podcast which looks at various conspiracy/bad science topics associated with astronomy - http://podcast.sjrdesign.net/index.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
